This week in filmmaking deals: In the mirrorless market? Sony offers an a7II bundle for less than $900, while the Panasonic Lumix S1R is now under $3000. Also, the more you buy the more you save over at Edelkrone's sales event (up to 25%), while the latest model of Apple's 27" iMac is $200 off. Lastly, Adorama is running a special on JVC's 4K GY-HM170 camcorder that saves you almost $700.
Sony Alpha a7II with Free Accessories
If you're looking for a budget full-frame mirrorless shooting option, the Sony a7II offers a lot of great features without reaching too deep into your pocket. Again, the a7II has a 35mm full-frame mirrorless sensor, but it also has 5-axis in-body image stabilization, a 3" tiltable LCD, and an ISO range of 200-25600. The one drawback is its lack of 4K (or higher)—it shoots 1080p at 60fps—but if money is an issue, now be a great time to jump on this deal, because you can get the a7II, along with a bunch of accessories, for $898.
Panasonic Lumix S1R
The Panasonic Lumix S1R offers plenty of features that will allow you to shoot high-quality video. It's got a lot of great stuff under the hood, including a 35mm full-frame mirrorless sensor, L-mount compatibility, 4K at 60fps, and an ISO range of 100-51,200, but it's also built like a tank, with a magnesium splash/dust/freeze resistant body. The Panasonic Lumix S1R is on sale right now for $2998, which is $700 off of retail.
