Surprise – If you just checked the Amazon US rankings of sales you will find the GM1 leading the m4/3 sales at #4 while the EM10 is #7 and EM1 is #10. Looks like the $50 drop in GM1 price is having a good effect.
The “14-42mm 2RK lens” is the standard collapsible zoom, right?
I’ve already preordered it with the new pancake lense and am really looking forward to it.
The “14-42mm 2RK lens” is the standard collapsible that is the same lens as every kit from the E-P3 onward, yes. They’re going for about $90 shipped new on eBay, FYI. [As in, $10 cheaper and no waiting.]
What do you all think the chances are of Panasonic dropping the price on the GX7 to meet this? I’ve decided on getting a new GX7, but I’d like to get the best deal.
Why did you decide on the GX7? I’m looking at both the EM-10 and the GX7 and can’t decide.
GX7 is recently $799 for body only, prices have been dropping. The GX7 is a better featured camera and is a direct competitor to the EM5. I doubt you’ll see much of a drop on the GX7 in the near term. Maybe when the GX8 comes around.
I’m waiting for the PEN E-P5 to drop.
Amazon seems to have re-bumped the price back to $999 for this deal.
Even last week it was down to $799..
I had a pre-order and it still said Feb. 14. Kind of lame not to fulfill the pre-orders first.
So, I cancelled, re-ordered and now I’m getting it by Friday.
BTW, it is also in-stock at B&H and Adorama.
uuhhh – Germany is still waiting. We even don’t have any date
As I mentioned in a previous post, I just bought from a European store a e-pm2 and a vf-4 together for €620, roughly the e-m10 price, and I am happy. I cannot imagine the e-m10 will have a better picture overall, nor a better ISO performance than the current ISO champion, e-pm2. Thus for the same money I now have a smaller and lighter package with a superior viewfinder (but, true, a lower-class LCD screen). That said, the e-m10 does not appear a bad buy at all.
Well, that’s good if you like that type of camera, but personally I would never buy one with an add-on viewfinder.
I tried once and totally hated it. I also hate the OM-D’s clip-on flash. I hate all clippy, dangly bits.
OTOH, about a year ago I got a brand new Panasonic G3 for my son for $300 including the kit lens.
Heck of a deal. Nice viewfinder, great colors and IQ, small and light AND with a built-in flash.
With the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 it’s about the size of a big point and shoot.
That camera is now back up to $500 for the body only.
I like Panasonic, I have 14mm, 25mm – great!!, and I watch the pictures on a 50-inch serious Pana plasma. But I don’t like the lack of stabilization for primes. I also have a very old Panasonic turbo zoom that produces lovely colours – no wonder, with the Leica caption on the lens.
I’ll buy a refurb E-M10 for $450 in a few months.
