Wow. A NEW LOW PRICE for a RECONDITIONED EM1 of $1,099! That is such a steal. I need to go out right now and buy a whole bunch of these RECONDITIONED cameras for $1,099.
$300.00 USD off so yeah I would say it is a deal, right?
Since NIB or slightly used are going for 850-950 with no tax on ebay, not so much a deal.
This camera should be 1099 new and 899 refurb. It is not worth 2-3x the price of a Gx7 or e-M10.
Are those not Grey Market items? Not that that is a show stopper for some, but a lot of people make a big deal out of it.
Yeah, they’re Gray Market. Hope the buyers don’t expect a useable warranty…
They are refurbed by Olympus and sold through Olypus. Of course they will come with a warranty you klutz (if you bothered to read the link).
W.R.T. the Gray Market comments, we were talking about the cheap ones on eBay from non-authorized resellers.
Not sure the value of a 90 day warranty. It’s for DOA pretty much, which is also covered on eBay.
E-M1 is basically a D4x with 2 stops less ISO performance for $1099. Thats a steal. Its a steal at $2000.
Every camera is a value compared to flagship slrs. Compared to other MFT, the E-M1 is overpriced at retail.
But if you want to go the ISO route, the E-PM2 has better ISO than the E-M1 and can be had for 1/5 the cost. In that respect, the E-M1 is a rip.
It’d be a good deal, if they actually had one to sell. I’ve been keeping an eye on the EM1 refurb page for a while now, and don’t recall the last time they had stock.
Dunno if this was covered already, but BMPCC is like half off at many stores.
Just call this site shoppingrumors and be done with it.
plenty of returns, it seems. Weird, I thought M43 was the best.
You seem to be confused between “the best” and “perfect”.
why are there so many refurb M43 cameras?
I was just going to ask almost the same question, but replace M4/3 with Oly. I see Oly refirb stuff all the time, but rarely Panny.
