With a little surprise I just noticed a first small $50 price drop on the Olympus E-M1 sold at Amazon US (Click here). And German readers have a “Blitzangebot” on the E-M1 kit which runs today only (more info here at Dealsrunner).
P.S.: And also the Olympus 12-40mm pro lens got a first $20 price drop again at Amazon US (Click here).

‘Nuff said.
I hope you feel better now! Take whatever camera gear you have, go out and take some pictures! I wish you a merry X-Mas!
Grow up
Please take a trolling break over Christmas

isn’t it sad, this troll has no one that cares to talk to them over Christmas, may as well jump off the bridge sad troll
I hope the trolls all got a case of Ex-Lax for Christmas.
I wonder how much better IQ is on the EM-1 over the GH3 when shooting in RAW? Anyone have any samples? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I thinks it’s pretty minimal.
The EM5, EM1, GH3, GX7 and GM1 are all pretty damn close, except for the cadre of measurebators out there.
Don’t forget the E-P5, E- PL6 & the E-PM2….all the ones you mentioned along with these all have about the same IQ if disregarding peepers.
Thanks Jeff. I’m very happy with my GH3 raw files. I’m just curious about the EM1 as I hear the IQ is better, but wanted to ask what “better” meant.
I’ve only shot with raw files on the GH3 and JPEG files on the E-M1, but the image quality of the E-M1 JPEG files was better, even though I had more latitude to fix things with the GH3 raw files.
That’s not to say that the GH3 is horrible. It’s just not as good as I’d hoped but the video capabilities likely take most of the firmware, as opposed to that of the E-M1 firmware.
Embarrassingly, The EM1 still costs more than the Nikon d600/d610 and the canon 6d. Pay more for 4 times less sensor. Wonder why Tiny four thirds has such a Tiny market share? What an epic fail, Olympus.
where are you shopping for a D610 that costs less than an E-M1?
It’s funny that people have such anger over other formats like this. My E-M1 takes excellent photos. And it’s like half the size and weight of my D600. And that’s not to mention the difference in lens sized.
The biggest fail of 2013: you, the trolls. Your sad little “bigger is better”-mantra is so 1990’s already. Why do you keep living in the past? Oh well, I don’t mind you sweating your ass off with those dinosaur-sized overrated monsters… 🙂

Absolutely. The Nikon 1 family, with its tiny, lightweight lenses, is great for those tired of lugging around and sweating under the massive size of that gigantic brontosaurus butt EM1 and new zoom, yet features autofocus and buffer processing at least as fast if not faster.
See how silly it all is?
Lol, the D610 is around $700 more than the E-M1, not to mention much larger. I wouldn’t take a chance on the D600 as there were major issues with oil from the shutter damaging the sensor. Perhaps it’s one of those damaged cameras that cost less.
Feeding the trolls is what gets them off. Don’t bother countering them with facts and numbers. It does not work.
The only thing that works is ignoring them.
Troll alert!
Tell me….how has this post contributed to this forum???
Troll go away! Clearly you have no idea how much the cameras cost and the trade off’s with one versus the other.
DISCONTINUED.
and we would care why, I think you want to go to plasmarumors.com fool

I think the best Christmas present Admin could give us is to finally implement a proper troll filter on the comments section. This must be the 14th time I mention this but this site is in serious need of an IP ban wordpress plug in (here, have a look: http://wordpress.org/search/ip+ban ) and/or a comment rating/ignore function.
I understand the need for traffic and the urge for freedom of speech but these incessant trolls are killing 43rumors, not only that but once their comments are published the damage is already done, the topic has already gone off the rails, so if admin is not willing to permanently ban them at the very least let the commentators regulate themselves by allowing comment rating. This site is visited regularly not only by normal healthy people of also by a small number of psychotic no-life basement trolls, yes, every site has them but at least you can ignore them, on 43 rumors they’ve taken control of every topic or at the very least represent a constant distraction. PLEASE ADMIN, do us a favor and do something about this! Do THEM a favor and do not give them the freedom to keep ruining their life as internet trolls, their moms would appreciate it.
Sorry for the rant

admin cleary is more interested in having the increased “conversational” traffic that comes from unmoderated commenting, otherwise he would have fixed it a long time ago.
Nope. As I explained many times and wrote in the “about me” section I don’t have the time to spend 24h per day filtering comments. The solution I am working on is coming this year and is already working on mirrorlessrumors.com. Only registered people will be allowed to comment.
Not really working – mirrorlessrumors have almost no comments now, and there is no reason to visit the sites but for comments (do you really think we visit it for “rumors” like “this camera/lens is available at this store for 123rd time! Hurray! Buy buy buy!”)
nope. reason is simple. I work during the day. And I don’t have time to delete every trolls comment. The best thing is simply to ignore them. Just skip those comments instead of answer them. Often I see one comment of a troll and than 5 answers against him and the troll answers them back and so on. Simply igonring them would make the comment section far more enjoyable!

Was the $50 off on the E-M1 a one day deal?. Price still shows $1399.
I had purchased it on pre-order, and had received a $55 voucher (4% rewards).
“With a little surprise I just noticed a first small $50 price drop on the Olympus E-M1 sold at Amazon US (Click here).”
I don’t see it from Amazon itself. Just some new 3rd party seller with shipping from Japan.
