Buying a lightly used model can be a smart strategy for getting a great camera at a good price – but I spotted a camera deal that’s so good, it’s nearly as low as buying a used model. The Panasonic Lumix S5 II dropped back to its lowest price yet in the US, cutting $500 off the price of the popular full-frame hybrid camera.
The discount on the Panasonic Lumix S5 II is so good, it’s only $50 more than the previous S5, and only $100 more than buying the S5 II used. According to Amazon price tracker Camelcamelcamel.com, the discount puts the S5 II back down to its lowest ever price in the US. The deal originated during Amazon Prime Day, but the discount appears to still be live at several retailers.
