Not buying anything until all the new cameras have been released. Waiting for new tech to compare to old tech or a massive price drop on the old models after new models are released.
In summary: “cheetos” will never buy a camera
No, I will. I was set on buying an EM5 when it drops in price to around $700. However, the “new tech” I was referring to is the E-P5. I don’t care too much for VF like most blokes around here, just the 5 axis IBIS. I have saved up $400 and just hoping the EM6 release will finally push the price of the EM5 down to around $700. Then the difficult decision would be either EP5 or EM5.
Well if the new model doesn’t change your mind – you shouldn’t be waiting too long until it hits $700 for a refurb body 🙂
But with all the new cams having extra bells and whistles (i.e. WiFi), I expect their prices to be inflated despite having essentially the same sensor and 5 axis IBIS.
That wet E-M5 pic still does it for me..
But seriously, it is such a good camera in so many respects aside from its great image quality that I think it will hold its value for a few years yet.
I think a smart move by Olympus would be to delay its successor until it is truly superior, rather than pump out minor upgrades. Or perhaps release an EM-5N that is NFC and WiFi capable and maybe minor upgrades yet physically identical and sell them concurrently at different price points. Then replace them both with EM-6.
or call it EM5 mk 2? 😀
Your proposal adds even more complexity to an already convoluted naming convention.
I wish Olympus would just stick to the name OM-D, drop the EM-X designation and just iterate the versions behind the scenes. Think of how Apple markets the iMac, there are no version numbers, you just refer to the year of manufacture if you must, otherwise, it’s just an iMac.
The next OMD is also having my attention too , minor improvements cannot be tolerant . A 1 full stop ISO performance over it’s predecessor is a must .
While Pana is having it’s MCS on it’s way , I wonder what will Olympus feature in it’s next highend model ?
a billion bucks says thats not gonna happen. neither the 1 stop improvement or quite frankly a new sensor
It’s not really necessary for Olympus to replace the sensor just yet, they probably have a good 18 – 24 months left with iterations on the current one. The IQ is fantastic and stacks up quite well against the competition.
I do wonder whether Panasonic will be able to successfully productise the micro colour splitting tech on a future sensor and shake things up a little. And then whether they will be foolish enough to not license the tech to Olympus again, further pushing Olympus into the arms of Sony and strengthening their biggest long term competitor. With management like that no wonder they are struggling 🙂
Where are we gettingvthe idea that panasonic is struggling so bad? Samsung is struggling, even pentax is struggling, but panasonic? Olympus doesnt outsell panasonic
I wasn’t referring to camera sales, I was referring to bad commercial decisions like holding back sensor tech from Olympus, which basically pushed them into the arms of Sony who now benefit from every single Camera that Olympus sell.
Now Olympus made huge mistakes and over the past five years the corruption came to light and hopefully has been rooted out. Everyone likes to rip on Olympus and suggest that the company is doomed. Well why then has Olympus’ stock outperformed Panasonic over the past five years, even with the turmoil that came about with the corruption scandal. I have even uploaded an five year comparison for you: http://i.imgur.com/JcWFhMh.png
TYO:7733,(the red line) is Olympus. TYO:6752, (the blue line) is Panasonic.
Now we know there was a big problem at Olympus, and hopefully those elements have been removed and the culture improved. But what is happening at Panasonic? Why are they struggling to keep up? They haven’t been through an accounting scandal and haven’t had to dilute their shares to stay afloat, yet their stock does not even keep up with a company that has had all these problems.
Is the 45mm 1.8 nice at 190€ ?
its not the end price, its still in auction..prob will end between 230-250 euros, which is still a decent price for such great performer.
That’s if they actualy have any, from experience this might well be the case. I recently purchased the 12mm (500Euro) from this site, after paying for it and waiting a week I was informed, sorry we do not did not have any in stock.
You bought from Olympusmarket on ebay?
Offering things for sale and then not being able to deliver isn’t something they can afford happening often, as that would impact their feedback, and may get them suspended as a seller.
I bought 3 items from them in the last 2 years without any problem.
I also missed out on one item due to them pulling the auction after I commented on contradictionary info in the auction (offered an e-p3 but the description was for an e-pl2)
“Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries. We are blocking your viewing in an effort to prevent restricted items from being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases, we may prevent users from accessing items that are not within the scope of said restrictions because of limitations of existing technology. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay.”
sometimes i get this message on ebay why?
Because global market capitalism is only available when it suits the global corporations. When it comes to people like you and me, we have to pay the price that is set for our region based upon how much those corporations think we should pay, not a price based upon global supply and demand.
i see, thank you!
