Bloody sales tax. Probably going to wait for a deal on eBay for my preferred lens, it seems.
An amazing deal on some items. And if you’ve placed an order that hasn’t shipped yet you can usually get them to apply a credit.
Just got a 17mm f1.8 that arrived last night. Coulda saved $80 with this coupon!
Call customer service and politely ask if they can retro-actively apply the discount to your purchase 😉
Tax is a killer. For the under 300 items no biggie. But, EP5 is a STEAL. You can actually afford an EM1 for this. The lens selection is a bit pultry, but maybe we’ll see some others listed in the next few days.
The EM5 is incredibly tempting, but I’m holding out for a reconditioned EM10 – want the built-in flash.
Just ordered a 17mm 1.8! I’ve been waiting for a good deal on one. 🙂
Thanks just ordered the 40-150mm came out to 105 with tax
My wife is wonderful. I explained my dire predicament … and she agreed I needed an E-M1 to complement by E-M10.
Believe there is a very good marketing strategy at work here. Thom Hogan has an article on the marketing problems that Nikon is having … such as, three generations of the same model series DSLR in stores/outlets at the same time. Are you going to go for the latest IQ or the lowest price … or based on experience wait for the next round of discounts that you know will occur? Many wait for the next round of discounts to buy an earlier generation for a song. The best marketing strategy is to quickly clear inventory so that potential buyers HAVE to buy the latest model. Hearing that the next generation of Olympus cameras is due out in May/June, I’m guessing that Olympus is doing exactly that … to our benefit.
Olympus has a marketing pricing strategy designed before the first unit is ever shipped to retailers. That strategy includes overpricing the item to skim top margin from the ‘loyalists.’ Then ratchet down to the next tier after a few months, then repeat. Within a very short time, we have this situation, where there former top products are remaindered at bargain bin prices, thus ruining the residual value of its ‘loyalists’ gear.
Some, such as godark, believes that this is good for customers. It is “to our benefit” to be overcharged and undervalued.
This cynical marketing strategy is then compared with Nikon’s, and somehow Olympus is deemed better. The reality is they both, they all, do exactly the same thing. And have conditioned us to accept “this is only the way things are in the high tech world,” as though it’s some law of nature and not deliberate marketing strategy.
And for which we’re supposed to be grateful.
Totally agree – and let me add: there is not so much “hi tech” in cameras. It’s really “mid-tech”, hyped up by marketing.
Dear Olympus- you are totally kick ass.
europe would love to see this 🙂
I just grab a body cap 15mm lens, it’s pocket time for my e-pm1!
