hey Oly….bring something similar to EU too and sell your overstock of models here 🙂
> “sold over $1,200 of them ”
Haha…. I don’t think that is what you meant 😉
great value
Admin, I used to receive 43rumors newsletter for each new post, since some time it happens no more, do you know why?
You’ve very politely asked this question twice (that I know of). Seems like either Admin or Disqus should be able to address this.
I don’t want to spam 43rumors with my request, I just asked twice, in case Admin missed the first time. I’d like to know if I’m the only one not receiving newsletter anymore.
Same sensor as OMD, planning to put my pany 20mm pancake. great backup camera which i can keep in my backpack always. This was no brainer for $199.
Small, 16 megapixels, in-camera vibration reduction, takes all my existing lenses, full HD video…I couldn’t resist.
I bought the E-PM2 as a second body in November for $349 US in one of the double-kit lens specials from Amazon US. Sold the 14-42 zoom for £70 and the 40-150 for £150 so essentially got the camera free. I love the size and the still image quality of the E-PM2 (when IBIS is disabled). The video quality seems a lot worse (more video-like and blockier) on the E-PM2 than with my E-M5 despite them both having the same sensor. The PL25 on my E-M5 and P35-100 with OIS on the E-PM2 make for a great, compact combination.
I might flip both cameras for two E-M10 or a pair of E-P5 next Olympus refurb sale or Black Friday to get the better IBIS, small size, and better video.
I did a similar thing. Bought the double lens kit at the end of March firesale for $300 and then sold the 40-150 for $160. I actually needed the 14-42 though since this was my first m4/3 purchase. Still, that option was better than paying $200 for the body + kit lens!
If I didn’t already own the EP5 and two EPL1’s I would have done it. This wasn’t a deal though- it was a freakin steal. Maybe they’ll do some fireside sales one day with that overpriced EM1. I’ll be waiting.
Dream on. You will be waiting a loooooong time as the E-M1 is not overpriced. Worth every penny.
It may be worth every penny, but a Canon 7D runs rings around it when it comes to continuous focus.
A few days ago, I tried every conceivable setting, and a number of different lenses (Oly 75mm 1.8, Oly 12-40 2.8, Pana 25mm, Oly 40-150, Oly 45mm) to shoot runners moving in a straight line approximately me at a finishing line of a race.
No matter how good and quick the e-m1 is, no matter how much its abilities at continuous focus have been hyped everywhere, the fact remains that when I had a Canon 7D and a 70-200 f4 lens, I got 95% in focus shots. However, with the e-m1, I may as well have been shooting with an Olympus 5050 from 2003, or with an iphone camera. Maybe 10-20% in focus, and maybe 1% in critical focus.
Sorry, that’s the way it is.
No need to be sorry. You’re right, that’s the way it is. We understand that not all cameras operate in all situations, everywhere. Only a fool might think that.
But that’s about all there is.
Bought the EP5 for 565.00- same internals. All of the good stuff and non of the filler. E-M1 is to overpriced- period.
Sweet camera for the price, but kind of redundant if you already have a MFT body with a kit lens. This thing is not small with the 14-42.
The promotion is over! Now it costs $ 309 – just when I was doing the checkout ..
1200 sold is Nothing. That’s not helping Olympus, it’s simply a Fire Sale.
The only positive coming from that is that is the price it should have been from the start, or at least close to it.
M43 is too expensive. The Majority of M43 cameras only move when they’re greatly reduced on sale.
All 1200 people should be ashamed of themselves. They essentially STOLE a camera….haha.
“Sold $1,200 of them” Damn! That’s like 6 cameras!!! Low quantities.
I was not able to buy because they only accept payments via Paypal and must be a US resident,
the deal is back!
The Newegg is a great store, but it looks like a neighborhood shop: not accept international card or Paypal payment of non USA residents, too dumb, below of the big competitors ..
sadly the deal is gone. current price is $300. ps here in Russia a double lens kit sells for $450.
