nice price, still not sure here what to buy….mostly because the sellers of used stuff jhere are all too busy lol
My guess wozld be that you should wait for the Photokina. As far as I have understood your cameras still work fine. 😉
Surab,i am camera and lens less rigth now, because i lost my income few months ago and stil needed to pay the usual expenses, so had to sell everything. Soon I get the compensation for the sudden job ending, and will get some things again, maybe the same, maybe something else, dont know yet 🙂 btw i mostly buy used stuff, never brandnew, old habit of me.
That’s unfortunate. I know what it feels like. Hope you get a new job soon (or already).
Sorry, to hear that! Hope everything works out great for you!
I hope we will soon see these price drops taking place in Germany too! I’d love to buy the e-m1, but certainly not for 1400€…
Today’s auction of a refurb. body by Olympusmarket Germany went for €936 which is down from the average price of approx. €1100 last month
Abrede, it still its a refurbished, product. But in the us u get a new one for the same price
Some would argue that a refurb. is better than new, as the “alleged bugs” have been eliminated (see tales of non-functioning dials, etc.)
Usual nonsense import charges quoted for sending to Europe – should be $250 maximum, not $437.64. Far better to buy from Hong Kong or Korea – $935 plus $220 tax
Yeah, but does it look this sexy….
Yeah, but does it look this sexy?……
What it this thing attached to the hot shoe?
It’s a 5 dollar thumb grip I got off ebay…..and let me just say it will ROCK your m43 world. Holy crap, it makes holding the camera 10 times better. Best 5 dollars I ever spent.
I tried using one of those thumb things on my PEN and found it to be practically useless. They are too short to reach across far enough for your thumb. Longer versions are available, but yours is the short one. My one was called a “Thumbs Up”.
Guess it all depends on the size of the user’s hands, but that is the great thing here.. we’ve got so much choice! Something for every one!
Good point, and I didn’t know they made a longer one as I would try it. I have small hands and it seems to work great for me.
If it were posted on ebay as discontinued by an ebay seller then we could have 200 speculative posts on that subject as well. Clearly ebay sellers are the official word for Olympus and Panasonic:)
I’ve been asking myselft for a long time what the heck Olympus is thinking and why they try to overprice all their products in Europe that much compared to the rest if the world …
This is a MUCH MUCH MUCH more fair price. I would say it ought to be a little lower – but I myself might be tempted to buy it at the quoted price (about 800 in euros). The 1400-1500 euros price tag is a disgrace – or a joke, depending on the point of view.
Not really surprising. Products come in high to milk pioneering early adopters, before eventually tapering off to its realistic price point after about a year. Unless you’re talking about Apple or Leica. I learned long ago to always buy digital cameras 2 generations behind.
Hmm, thats interesting. I thought as most of the readers here, that the new OMD will be the successor of EM5. But if the price of EM1 drops then there is a chance the new OMD will be the successor of EM1. I know its too soon for that, but stranger things have happened before. You dont drop the price of a more expensive/higher end model when you are about to produce a new middle range model. It just doesnt make any sense financially speaking.
No one’s dropping anything. Check reputable vendors like B&H and Adorama, not “Top Ebay sellers” who may be here today, just barely, and not here tomorrow.
Does anyone really think that B&H and Adorama are making a whopping $300 more per em1 so that some random vendor can make a profit selling it for $300 less?
In fact, $1099 is actually overpriced. They have been available body-only for less than $1000 for some time. For example, you can get new ones for $979 on ebay.
> I know its too soon for that, but stranger things have happened before.
It’s never late to start dreaming about the E-M1 mk2: 4K capable, decent codec and 5-axis IBIS.
Isn’t the em1 already 5 axis?
Yes, of course.
I meant that camera with 4K with decent codec, supported by the IBIS, would be a very very interesting proposition to many.
LOL! Check out all the buffoons who think that m4/3 cameras can defeat cameras with large sensors. A FF beast would kill a micro toy any day. Real photographers don’t use minuscule sensors, because they know that it’s impossible to take pictures with them. Who wants horrible noise at base ISO? Only morons do!
People who fret over low noise at base ISO have never shot a m43. It usually ends up being about 1.3 stops behind FF…..hardly a big deal. I use both and I could care less.
It’s two stops, then we have the magnification factor gap, then those crappy, software-corrected lenses (even the Varicron 3500). Lots of problems for a silly high price. This system is going down, the couple of victims it could sucker in won’t be enough to save it. Oh well…
> Lots of problems
Have you ever made even single shot with *any* camera???
It never ends up workiing out to two stops. Mathmatically…..yes. But you forgot to factor in advances in sensor tech. Just check dxomark….in real life it comes out to more like 1.3 for oly’s latest offerings. Come on, everyone knows this by now. lets not even factor in the fact that base iso on m43 is still extremely clean- your splitting hairs just to be an asss.
FF photographers obviously like to be an equipment donkey. I let them believe that the relative gain in image quality is worth all that burden, but I really feel sorry for your pain.
Lol, equipment donkey. Unlike Mick Jagger, he’ll always be a beast of burden.
Another troll overcompensating for a tiny thing.
Medium Format users are laughing at you right now for thinking you are a real photographer.
Nice self up vote SD.
Will you finally tell us what your amazing camera is? Why are you ashamed of what you shoot with buddy?
PS – We already know about your Nikon 1. What’s your day to day shooter?
Omigosh! An Ebay top seller! I wonder if I can somehow, someday, be privileged to buy from such a wonderful seller. Here, I only buy from dregs like B&H and Adorama in New York. If only B&H and Adorama could live up to the stellar reputation of Ebay Top Seller TheGamesArena. I’ve heard from so many people that have bought from TheGamesA#2$na over the past few decades. There is literally NOTHING they could tell me about them that was at all negative for that time period. NO ONE would be better to buy from.
Again, can’t we just get honest ads instead of paid promotions like this for some random
ONLY 1099?? Is that supposed to be good value?? No wonder Micro Four Thirds has failed so miserably. Oversized cameras and lenses, tiny sensors, massive prices. A winner? Like heII it is!
I don’t get trolls who rant and then like their own comment. That’s like being doubly insecure, no?
LOL! Totally failed.
Not one m4/3 camera has sold, and there are no m4/3 blogs to comment about this fact on.
It is comparable in price to other high end APS-C cameras (no full frame camera though is as cheap as this), *BUT* the E-M1 can be a much more attractive system as a total package for many people than DSLRs are.
And it isn’t a tiny sensor, because m4/3 and APS-C are both in the sweet spot range for filmmaking with. Once reason why I love the GH range so much from Panasonic.
Only? Over a grand for that tiny sensor? Is it for nano brains? Or is it an experiment to see how thick humans can get?
SD, three posts under three names already? You forgot to up vote this one, btw.
So… what are you shooting with?
What is all this familiarity? This tackiness? Are you trying to make friends in a very awkward way? Do you suck dicks? I find your posts quite alarming, and frankly disgusting.
You are not into cameras at all, are you?
Nice try but you’re not funny.
Still no answer on what camera you use.
Why so afraid, SD?
This camera is worth no more than $100 with that infinitesimal sensor. In fact, it would be worth twice as much with only a 1/2.3″ compact sensor, that’s how bad the m4/3 sensor is. All research corroborates this.
For those keeping score at home:
Six posts, six different names, multiple self up votes.
Carry on SD.
AND he keeps upvoting his own posts.
You need therapy. Paranoid delusions shouldn’t be taken lightly.
SD, you forgot to tell us what amazing camera you’re using.
Cameras, remember?
And what camera do you use? Remember that a m4/3 camera isn’t a real camera, it’s just a toy.
I use a large format scanning back for serious work, and a Canon 1D X as a portable walk-around camera.
I’ve said what I use more than once, aren’t you paying attention?
1Dx as walk around. Right.
Why so scared SD?
The anti-photography squad is out in full force, spewing forth their propaganda about the greatness of small sensors. It’s embarrassing, quite frankly. At least there are a few people here, who understand why 35mm is the correct sensor size for photographic purposes.
95% of all satisfied camera buyers chose a full frame camera.
