Olympus E-M5 now shipping in USA, Canada, UK, Germany!

I am getting mails from 43rumors readers saying that they finally got the E-M5. An example: “My local Boston camera store called. My E-M5 is in the store waiting for me! They only got the one though. I was the first to pre-order.” and John wrote: “The EM-5 is shipping in Canada as well. I received the email from Olympus that mine was shipped yesterday.”. In UK it’s in Stock on [shoplink 30334 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] and Systemkamerforum users are reporting that it is shipping in Germany.

In short, watchout! The postman could knock at your door soon! Below you can find a short recap of E-M5 links to US/Europe/Asia stores:

Ridiculous low price for the new E-PL1 body: $149!

The new E-PL1 body now sells for $149 only at Amazon (Click here). If Olympus would have sold the E-PL1 for such a price right from the start they would probably have double the market share they have today :)

And in these days Amazon sells more E-PL1 cameras than Fuj X PRO 1 cameras :)

P.S.: If you need a zoom lens on it take a look at the Panasonic 45-200mm lens which also got a price drop and sells for $199 again at Amazon (Click here).

First E-M5 in Stock at eBay UK!

[shoplink 30243 ebay][/shoplink] I have been told by dealers that the first batch of E-M5 cameras would arrive this week in Europe and Canada. As you can see the first UK store has two of them in Stock and sells them through [shoplink 30243 ebay]eBay UK (Click here to see the “buy now” auction)[/shoplink].

USA deals roundup…(crazy Fuji sniff test).

In USA you can still take advantage of the $100 price drops on the GH2 and GX1!

GH2 with 14-42mm kit lens is now in Stock for $749 at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
GX1 body only is now priced at $649 at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (with extras!).

Despite all these nice deals it is the Olympus E-PL2 that is the most ordered m43 camera at Amazon (Click here). And speaking of the most popular camera there is certainly the just available Fuji X PRO 1 (Click here). Speaking of that camera I found something weird about it. A sniff test! I posted it on my sisther website MirrorlessRumors.com (Click here). Kinda funny what people invents to become famous :)
