Lumix G cashback £135 – hot tech deal of the week

The January sales tend to be the best time to spend all your Christmas money and snap up those great tech deals. If you have recently bought, or are looking to buy a new Lumix G digital camera or lens, then you’re in luck.

We’ve found Panasonic are offering up to £135 cashback on the Lumix G, if you have purchased or purchase a Lumix G digital camera and additional Lumix G lens together between November 1 and January 22, 2012.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3

One of the cameras in the deal is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3, which is Panasonic’s top of the range system camera with interchangeable lenses. It replaces the G2 and is smaller and lighter. We put it through our lab tests, along with the 14-42mm kit lens, to see whether, in this case, smaller is better. Read our Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 review to find out how the DMC – G3 performed.

Up to £135 cashback on Lumix G

To qualify for the cashback you must have purchased a new Panasonic Lumix G camera kit and Lumix G lens in the UK or ROI from participating retailers – such as Jessops or Dixons.

As ever, the more expensive the camera or lens you buy, the more cash you’ll get back. Frustratingly, the deal doesn’t mean £135 instantly off the bill. Instead you have to complete a online registration form and upload a copy of your full purchase receipt to claim the money back.

On the positive side – if you have recently bought a qualifying camera or lens and have yet to claim, you could have up to £135 worth of savings to make. See the Lumix Lifestyle community site  for the full lowdown on the deal.
