If you are keen to keep the cost of a new camera and lens down, check out this tempting deal on the Panasonic Lumix G85 mirrorless camera with a useful 12-60mm lens.
Yes, we know this camera is a decade old, but there is still plenty of life left in the Panasonic Lumix G85/G80. Essentially it’s a likeable DSLR style mirrorless camera for enthusiasts, which also gives you access to a massive range of quality, affordable Micro Four Thirds lenses.
You can now get it with the 12-60mm lens for $547.99, making it a great budget buy. For this money it would also serve well as a back-up camera, or one you could convert to infrared, for example. It is quite unusual to find a ‘new’ model of this camera onsale, too.
