Far too expensive for what it is. Still lurking for the GX7.
who wants a 12-50 here cost less than 100 usd second hand 1500 euro pay euro bitch3s pay ahjajajjhah
Too expensive.
And no 25p/50p.
Wow…. Thats 100€ more than the US price + 20-25% VAT. … strange.
I’d say that’s the rule not the exception.
Where have you been for the last 10 years? In online shops, $=€.
Wow, that’s the price of a full frame Nikon. They are going the worong way. Bigger and more expensive camera than CMOS DSLRs.
This post is a troll vault. Beware not falling.
Please don’t feed the troll.
Admin can you split the comments section in complainers & non-complainers?
well that looks like they will have to include some extras in that box to soften that blow overhere a bit. Imho a tad overpriced compared to the states including taxes etc…. But it was to be expected, the E5 is currently going for around 1500 and is list price of 1700.
So in ollies mind it is a bargain anyhow…
Happy not to need one NOW, it will be in my bag, just not asap i guess.
Heck maybe (winkwinkwink) they will offer great trade in bonuses…
I would guess they will do a free grip at launch or maybe the option to switch that for a 45mm f1.8.
I hope it’s a grip in the UK – I already have the MMF-3.
Olympus have a lot of R&D to pay for and a FT professional market – the perfect marriage.
But it’s hard to see what one’s getting (until you bring in the points I listed above) over the price of competitors.
A Pentax K-5 ii body is ~£650. It’s weather/temperature sealed, has phase-detection and 2-axis stabilisation built-in. It’s lenses are heavier and so it’s not so appealing to me but that price is a strong selling point.
What will I do… perhaps buy an E-PL5 (or used E-M5) and wait for Olympus/Panasonic to produce an amateur body that can deliver C-AF.
Unfortunately I think Olympus are shooting themselves in the foot. At these prices they are looking at a very limited market. I will wait to see what they sell for on the second hand market. I bought my first Olympus camera in 1980 and have stayed with them even though they have sometimes lost their way and got left behind by other camera makers. During the OM era they had a two tier system OM 1, 2, 3, 4, OM 10, 20, 30, 40. I know the Pens have three models in the range, I have a Pen, but the OM-D could do with a scaled down version at a Pen price for those of us who like the look of the camera but cant afford or cant justify paying these prices.
Not really! 1500€? F…ck Oly for their €-pricing! In Germany we get an E-P5 Kit with 17mm 1.8 + VF – 4 for €1499. Only the 17mm is worth €500! I’ll certainly not spend the money… Let’s wait and see! The PD-sensor will also used in the next gen PEN and the body is sufficient for everything except the 50-200…
I simply don’t believe that pricing. This is out of line with previous YEN/US/EUR pricing. The 1500USD EP5 superkit for example equated to 1450EUR, which is about right for import taxes and VAT added. If 1500EUR is right for the 1400USD price of the body then Oly are really taking the piss.
Really? That can’t be right? The USD price was 1500$ just lika Hajo and MMF said. Well, wouldn’t be the first time companies would pull this crap, not adequatley pricing their products, but rather changing the sign in front of the numbers. I hope this turns out to be false.
