If you want to save some bucks on the E-M1 you can grab the E-M1 body for $1245 at [shoplink 44820 ebay]6ave on eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink] and for $1255 via third party resellers at Amazon (Click here). A special E-M1 with extras sells for $1,290 again at [shoplink 44821 ebay]6ave on eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink].
The E-M1 is still the best selling MFT camera at Amazon US (Click here). Right behind the new Sony A6000 and Fuji X-T1.

This is troublng. Are we going to now have advertisements for 4th rate vendors lining up with regulator news articles?
It wouldn’t be the first time. Worse than that, I have to doubt they’re an authorized dealer. All the Amazon 3rd party sellers (with comparable prices) seem to be selling gray market E-M1s, so 6ave may be doing the same thing.
Good luck if you need warranty service on one of them…
It looks like 6ave is the same as 6th Avenue Express (formerly Electronics), which has some bad ranking and troubled history:

You guys can thank the Fuji X-T1 for this price reduciton. Competition every time.
is that the copy of the OM line
no, it’s the killer of the OM line
What, you mean the X-T1 system is the killer of the OMD/M43 system?
Is this the same as the Fuji fanboys kept on about the XPro being the Leica killer.
No, the X-T1 is a digital copy of the Fujica ST801.
Olympus better to run a special of $999 before any prospective buyers heading towards Fuji or Canon
Still bloody expensive for a small sensor camera. They really want hundreds of dollars extra for a bigger grip and a dial over the E-M5. Are customers really that stupid? Should be 100 more maybe. The rest is a really good margin for all the bought reviews.
You forget many features of E-M1:
durable shutter with 150k cycles service life (horse mean bumpy ride)
improved IBIS (again the bumpy horse)
1/250 X-sync (shoot flash on prairie in daylight)
1/8000 sec (again the bumpy horse)
superior ergonomics (Isqueeze7feathers has big hands with calluses from riding bumpy horse)
weather resistant (bumpy horse pee a lot and aim bad – also dust and sand in Mohave)
All that worth at least 10 extra beaver skins!
EM5 is weatherproof. EM5 has IBIS. EM5 has superior ergonomics (small and light camera to match the small format). EM5 has 1/250 synch speed.
Yep, the EM1 has one stop faster shutter speed.
They both take equally good pictures, indistinguishable from each other.
Sorry to hear you have tiny hands. Like with women I like bigger area to grip. E-M1 actually has 1/320 shortest sync speed. E-M1 finder much more big and better than E-M5. At 1/8000 second E-M1 take picture, E-M5 does not. Hough!
Really? The E-M1’s EVF itself is worth more than an extra US$200 than that of the E-M5. It’s nearly good enough to replace an optical viewfinder. The image processor, plus improved AF tracking abilities make it well worth the money.
Come on Dooowwwwnnnnnn…….The Price Is Right.
That what 7 Feathers say all the time!
