I just ordered the 40-150/2.8 yesterday for what I thought was a good deal. Maybe customer service will be nice and apply the discount retroactively for me.
I’d try. Or order again and refuse delivery/return the first one. It’s $240.
I emailed them and the customer service rep applied the discount. Score!
Yay, same here! 🙂
You lucky bastardddds.
Most stores I know will apply a lower price if the original sale was within 30 days. That’s just normal policy and good marketing. Nothing new. After all, a person could just return the original purchase and buy the cheaper one so it saves everyone a hassle by just giving a refund.
Too bad the MK2 is out of stock even thought it says it is not.
And they always come with these deals when there is nothing interesting available… what a coincidence.
what happened to the Canadian stuff? I guess the currency is too low so Olympus just shafted all the canadian customers…nice.
Yeah, what’s with that – no more Canadian Outlet?
100% agree, I would’ve probably impulsed bought something.. Plus they had the outlet Canadian store last time this sale came around (spring)..
The mk2’s went quick. Had one in the cart this morning, but alas it’s still not worth it at $640+tax.
Yes, yes it is. Double yes.
What a moron.
You must have had a mk1 and paid $1100 for that high res s**t feature on the mk2 you never ended up using.
I’m the guy who didn’t.
F my life. F my freaking life. I would have bought this now but ofcourse I missed it. You know that’s the end of that…aint coming back. Son of a…I’m so pissssed off now.
The stealth price wars begin. Good news for consumers, not so good for camera companies.
I think differently: great news for companies. If you understand how advertising works then you will know that there is a reason to have sales, as crazy at they sound. Did you notice that there is extremely short availability? the people that wanted to order but missed out were actually prompted to buy and guess what: most end up buying even if the sale price is gone, sooner a later, but sooner in my experience 🙂
Now if they dropped those prices permanently; that’s a totally different story!
It’s not great news if you are positioning yourself as a premium product company when you start price slashing your premium product a heartbeat after product launch. That’s no way to defend the brand.
Expectations are set; it’s more likely people are now conditioned to wait out the next skim down than are to think, hey, cool, let’s buy at a higher price right now, it’s sure to stay high for a long time!!
If it’s really great news for companies, by your reasoning if they had temporarily dropped it even more they would have even more sales from people who decided that not buying it at the sales price was a great move, so delighted were they to have missed out the fire sale.
In reality it is sad news for companies, because it represents a loss of pricing power. Which translates in a loss of ability to prop up profit margins. It’s a war of attrition I fear. Short term good for consumers, long term bad for consumers because of potential loss of competition.
the MkII and the 40-150mm were available at the last check out step this morning but I decided not to buy any.
Swing and a miss…
I had it in my basket this morning when i left for work (pre-coupon.) Didn’t buy, cuz i anticipated the impending 20% off… i didn’t expect it so soon, and ya, of course Out of stock… It’s always a gamble, and it seems like there are only one or two winners on the sweet “double deals”… Last year, I scored the EM1 refurb double deal…
EM10 with discount is 286.00 folks. That’s just crazy. Olympus must be hurting for cash. These deals are just insane. I couldn’t possibly buy new at these prices.
I ordered an E-M5ii yesterday, 6.5 hours before the beginning of the sale. I didn’t hear about the sale until it was out of stock. Hearing that people got the two to match up (coupon + in stock) makes it even worse. I asked Oly for a retroactive coupon… we’ll see.
frustating. I ordered an em5 for 499, a few weeks later they included a tripod for the same price. they didn’t apply the cupon. I leave abroad, I don’t have it yet, is stuck in customs and already loosing value…
I had the 40-150 pro refurb in my cart a few minutes after receiving the email, entered credit card and submitted only for it to say it was out of stock! They really need to fix that.
I ended up ordering the E-M5 Mark II on an impulse buy and maybe check out the video capabilities compared to my E-M1. I
Sounds like you and I went through the same order of ops. Really wanted that 40-150, but it was sold out when I finally checked out, and alas 1200 + tax is too much. I ordered the mk2 soon after as well. I just want to demo it to compare to the mk1 I had 2 years ago.
Meanwhile, In Europe…:
EM5mkII body only retails for €1099 or €1199, i.e. some $1400 body only…
Lower salaries and higher overall prices in Europe… yeah, for shopping it sucks here.
40-150mm f/2.8 is back in stock! Just picked one up. Hurry!
