Drastic price drops on many MicroFourThirds stuff in US!

I guess the price war started at least in USA. On almost every camera and lens we are experiencing consistent price drops. It is far more difficoult for me to know if the same tendency is ongoing in Europe. A first check on the german website idealo.de do not confirm a massive ammount of price drops like in US.

Anyway, here the list of the discounts. If you click on the shop name you will jump directly to the product page.
