An anonymous sender (Thanks!) just gave that hint about upcoming Olympus Black Friday deals! Click on the image to see a large size version. From Friday til Sunday you will have up to $100 rebates on all current E-M5 and PEN cameras!
Today Amazon launched a deal on PEN cameras (Click here) but I would wait til Friday to see if that more consistent offer will arrive. The deals are changing hourly so please check these four links to see what’s happening right now:

Btw; In Norway – JapanPhoto got an offer on the “Olympus Portrait Kit” containing a Pen-bag, 8GB Kingston Class 10 SD-Card and the Olympus 40-150 R for 999 NOK … around 120€.
I want black Friday in Europe! I really want to buy an OM-D!
just go and get one!
indeed, 950 for body only represents a *whole* 5% off amazon’s current price. I guess the OM-D is selling well. pita I was waiting for a price drop here before getting myself one for christmas
950€ is still 30% more than $950.
Yawn!
Refurbished OM-D can already be bought for $850 (and Olympus refurbished is basically the same as new), and if you want a real deal you can get a used for even less.
$100 off a PEN sounds pretty great. Hope they also offer the discount on bodies.
Those don’t appear to be deals at Amazon… they just have them in stock (at Amazon itself) and increased the MSRP to make it look like a discount.

Off topic rant time, but these model names are so terrible. OM-D E-M5? Pen E-PL5? E confuses things with “E series” which it’s not, and doesn’t P just stand for Pen? It should be the OM-D, and the Pen L5 and M2. So stupid.
At least they don’t have that silly Rebel name, while everywhere else, the model number is given! Only in the US would you find something like that. 😉
I agree, they should take a hint from Apple.
Yes, because iphone 6 and ipad 2 are soooooooooo much bettrr as names…
Question, what will the future replacement od retina displays be called? Retina+? Retina 2 ? Hawkeye?
No, that way of naming products isn’t better on the slightly longer term.
A whole 51.00$ savings, for an almost year old camera? Dream on. I wouldn’t pay 700.00 for that ergonomic nightmare of a camera.
Actualy its $50 not $51 😛
I wish it was $700, not gonna happen anytime soon. Even the E-PL5 discount is more and it’s newer; high supply/demand?
What do you mean ergonomics nightmare? I prefer the layout more the than NEX-6/7.
Try shooting one handed and forget the power switch isn’t on – happens all the time to me and then I need two hands to turn it on. The strap lug digs into my finger, if I carry it in my hand and the button layout is just wrong, not to mention the squishy buttons, that I always have to push more than once, it seems.
Don’t blame the camera for your inability to properly handle a camera.
Excellent news. It was taking ages for the shop I ordered from to get E-PL5 in stock, so I just cancelled and will hop on this deal for a body-only.
I have literally owned my E-PL5 for a week and it’s already $100 off???
Like you didn’t know there was gonna be a Black Friday deal
I feel your pain Andrew. I’ve had mine maybe 2 weeks? And no Anonymous, I’ve never heard of a Black Friday deal on a camera this new, especially 15% off.
If you are in the states, theirs this little law that protects you. It makes you entitled to this saving if it’s withing 4 weeks (1 month) of your purchase.
Something to do with the sales clerk HAVING To tell you of upcoming sales.
It might vary form states to states but it helped me out in New York.
I bought my E-PL5 w/ 14-42 in Canada last week for $560 Canadian… glad I didn’t wait for black Friday sale!
No Flash Air card though so $599 with the card is a good deal.
Also the E-5 gets $200 off when it should get $900 off,
Thanks Ronan. Have not heard of that here (IL).
I want to get an E-PL5 from the US because they still don’t sell them over here in Switzerland. Where can I buy a body only from?
Liebe Grüsse /Reto
Two words: customs and VAT.
I know, it is still cheaper when I can get the body only kit in the US (they will sell them here only with lens for around 900 USD inkl. 8% VAT). But the main problem is that we can’t get any and I will be going abroad in two weeks.
I got the promotional email from Olympus, $170 for the VF-2!
Does this mean an OMD Pro could be coming soon?
yeah, but they still don’t give you a lens hood or pouch
Admin, the deals are now live on Amazon’s PEN promo page and at Adorama’s online store as well.
^ Woops, not through Amazon directly, but DataVision selling for $100 off via Amazon.
