If only I could find such a deal in France…
send me a ticket from NY to France and I’ll bring you one 🙂
Are you willing to make a similar deal but destination Argentina? I can update profile pic for one with a cleavage if required 😉
wow that’s quite a deal.
Imagine getting an E-M1 at that price.
The Amazon link has it at $549.99 not $477.00.
Try Adorama. Still at 477.
The GX7 is still $749 in Canada. Plus 13% taxes. I would leap on it instantly if I could get it for $550 (with the exchange rate) up here…
The E-M5 is cheaper and it has a better EVF and also a much better IBIS.
Some manufacturers set prices so high just so that they can drop them to half within 2 years. Poor early adopters.
Looks like the GX8 is waiting to be released!!
EVF is entirely debateable – the E-M5’s is slightly larger at 4:3, but the GX7’s is higher detail. E-M5 IBIS is better, no argument there. Also weather sealing.
In the GX7’s favour it has better controls, a better grip, a 1/8000 shutter speed, silent shutter, focus peaking with much better implemented magnification, slightly better sensor, much better video codecs, and an articulated EVF. Also, a sensible menu interface.
While I wish the GX7 was weather-sealed, I would pick it over the E-M5 pretty much every single day of the week at this point. I enjoy using manual lenses, and the GX7 has better focus assists than any other camera on the market.
For many, the EVF isn’t debatable. The GX7’s EVF is close to unusable to me. I also don’t agree that their menu is more sensible. The other points still stand though, and at $477 it is a steal.
Hmm, do you wear glasses? Honestly I find that most of the EVFs that I’ve tried (E-M5, E-M10, GX7, E-M1, A7) are close enough to each other, with the E-M1 being the only standout in the bunch. That said, I don’t find EVFs particularly preferable for framing, just for use in bright conditions or to stabilize the camera in bad light, or when using focus peaking with manual lenses, where the GX7 is so far ahead of the rest that it’s not even close.
I’m thinking of buying E-M5, but the control is awkward, GX7 is easier to use and control one-handed, and I can fit whole camera with 20mm lens into sweater pocket. For this price point I too wished it to be weather sealed, but it’s not like I even go out on rain without umbrella, so yeah GX7 suited me more.
Meh. The GX7 has 1/8000 shutter, in-camera HDR as well as stitched panoramas, better video, 50% larger RAW buffer, focus-peaking, a better EVF, WiFi/NFC and of course it has built-in flash. For $477, which is $223 *cheaper* than the Olympus body. That’s kind of an amazing deal.
I don’t know where you got the idea that th EM5 is somehow cheaper. It’s not even close. The EM5 is selling for 799.
