That’s the great (and bad if you own) thing of all digital stuff. If you have patience and wait for some time price drops down dramatically. In Europe you can now get the E-M5 for less than 600 Euro:
565 Euro sold at [shoplink 46950 ebay]eBay UK (Click here)[/shoplink], 595 Euro at [shoplink 46951 ebay]eBay Germany (Click here)[/shoplink] and 599 Euro at Amazon France (via DL).
P.S.: There is also a refurbished E-M5-1250mm-vertical grip kit at [shoplink 46952 ebay]Olympusmarket (Click here)[/shoplink].

I find all these “deals” posts a bit weird. Just that, if you go searching, or better still, haggle, you can find 100s of great deals every day of the year. Just seems an arbitrary bunch of deals get posted here, clogging up the feed.
Yeah this is admin’s site, up to them what to post. But feedback may be considered.
Fair price. Why are they holding up on the em1? Slash the price and sell instead of hoarding them for 2 years.
There’s no economic benefit to hoarding them as competitors will come along with better features for the same price. The E-M5 held its price for the first year or so and is now two and a half years old and has been overtaken by later cameras so has the price drop.
So, the only reason that the E-M1 would price drop at the moment is if it wasn’t selling as well as expected. This is obviously not the case where you live.
I think, it is OK with these “deals-posts”. They often tell you more than a price.
This one for instance tells me that the EM-5 is on its way out. Probably new model comes this year. No surprise, the EM-5 is more then 2 years old, and the video quality of it even older 🙂
Too little, too late… RIP nano four thirds
More deep deep discounts. Panasonic has really got them on the ropes.
As an E-M5 owner i don’t see anything bad about that price drop: the camera is 2 years old now. I’ve paid double the price, but I was also able to use it for the past two years – for me that was certainly worth it. It’d be a different story if that price drop came after mere months, but after all those years in this high-speed market I think it’s a great and fair move to make the camera more affordable for those who want a high-quality camera but don’t need the newest one.
