Holy shit, that’ a good deal. I guess the resale market for my EPL-2 once I get the EM-5 will not be so good!
Anybody in vancouver interested in an excellent condition Olympus E5 for $1200 obo?
A shame the sensor is too small nice lookong camera
Tempting, but after seeing the advantages of the five axis IS and the live view bulb mode that price is not tempting enough, especially when I know less expensive cameras with the new IS are on the way.
in a couple years the EM-5 will join the ranks of worthless cameras that no one wants for $359…..oh, but there’s a MUCH better one available for $1,000 more.
So just wait a couple of years to buy, and be happy? Whats the problem? Cameras are to cheap for you?
This probably makes the E-PL2 the best option for anyone who wants to get into iLC and not spend more than $500 for a kit. Even allows them to buy accessories (like tripod, extra batteries, etc.) or save up quicker for a nice lens.
Anyway, I got the E-PL2 last year and enjoy it very much still, especially after replacing the kit lens w/ the 14-150 and getting 9-18, 20/1.7 and 45/1.8. The E-PL2 would go to the wife and serve as a solid backup body after I get the E-M5.
