4 months ago |For the first time, I am jealous of Europe for having this awesome deal. I am saving up to buy myself an OMD. However, if they offer this deal, then I would buy it in a second, even if I have to go borrow money from someone, and choose the 45mm lens and battery deal. Admin, do you think this deal will come to the States eventually???

4 months ago |Yes, it’s a brilliant deal, but don’t forget it still cost £900 body only in UK, €1150 body only in Ireland… And of course: the deal is valid only with authorised dealers…
GH1 Owner wanting to upgrade!
4 months ago |With a great deal as this, is Olympus thinking of making a big announcement soon? (Getting rid of the stock for the arrival of something new?)

4 months ago |Good News for UK photographers! I just bought the grip today in Hong Kong. Can’t wait to try it out during Chinese New Year.

4 months ago |The bodies are so overpriced this merely levels the prices with other places in Europe.

4 months ago |The advert itself is quite interesting. If you don’t know already that OM-D is a kind of camera you will have to look for hints to find out. There is no image of a camera. Neither is a camera mentioned in the text. The three monochromatic portraits on top would draw the attention of intellectual young women, which is another curious decision made by the designer. Young women are perhaps the least likely to use an E-M5. Perhaps someone at Olympus UK thinks they should?

Really? Why do you think that? A retro compact camera would seem to be a pretty good fit for a young woman.
sneye
4 months ago |Indeed it would and most are (like the PENs), but the E-M5 is distinctly masculine with its sharp edges and 70′s-professional air.

4 months ago |I think you’ve just shown us you have ‘foot in mouth’ desease!
Stu5
4 months ago |So are you saying there were no pro female photographers in the 1970′s? I think that photographer Jane Bown would disagree as she was using Olympus SLRs like the Olympus OM-1 then and still is. Certainly was not put off by the so called ‘sharp edges’.
I think you are not so much walking on ‘thin ice’ as ‘cracking ice’ at the moment!
sneye
4 months ago |I’m not suggesting there were no female photographers in the 70′s. I’m merely making an observation on cultural perceptions in the west. I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. It was not intended.
TheEye
4 months ago |The E-M5 should fit the hands of a 12 year-old boy well.
jazzcrab
4 months ago |As an old woman of 60 I think that the E-M5 fits EVERY woman. Well, I definitely love mine…

4 months ago |How did you manage to find that out? Well done! Interesting link.

4 months ago |I think you will find the advert is more to do with the fact that ‘this is what you could achieve photo wise with this camera’ than trying to attract more female buyers. The advert will appear to woman and men as well. Same as the camera already does.

4 months ago |Isn’t that David Bailey on the right… and two of his style portraits on the left? Perhaps he finally upgraded from his GF1 :p

4 months ago |More fuel for the fire that Olympus is pitching the E-M5 now more to the prosumer market and prepping the diehard enthusiasts and “pros” for the upcoming pro level body that will surely be announced this year.
E-M5 is the beginning of the new. Now that Olympus has had the beginning, let’s get on to the real deal and continue the unfinished business of 4/3 with today’s advancements in mirrorless.
Andy Pandy
4 months ago |as already mentioned the OMD body is hugely overpriced here in the UK when you compare it to the price of a Nex 7 or X-E1 body
jimdtrf
4 months ago |That is true in most UK locations and all the big Photo retailers it is still over £950 with Amazon being the stand out cheapest at £890
http://camerapricebuster.com/Olympus_OM-D_E-M5_Body_pc.html
When you consider that many very capable DSLR cameras such as the D7000 { £625} Sony A77 {£800} and Pentax K5II {£719} are often substantially cheaper even though the E-M5 sensor has closed the gap quite a bit the Sony APS 16mp sensor used in many even cheaper models { D5100 can be had for £340 !!} is still a little better.

4 months ago |The UK deserves a nice deal, given how much they’ve been overcharged on a lot of this stuff for years.
EvieEff
4 months ago |The first two photos (left to right) are the types of subjects the owners of these cameras would like to shoot. The third photo, shown above the lens and grip themselves, are what the typical user is more likely to resemble.
