Connecting dots: E-M5 price drops brings me back to a rumor….

Share

Two months ago a new source told me that there would be a new OMD camera in very early 2013. And before the launch of that camera the E-M5 would get price drops in winter time. And as you know a couple of days ago we wrote about a (low FT2 rated) OMD camera rumor having more advanced video features.

Olympus itself said months ago that there is room for new OMD camera above and below the current E-M5. If we connect the dots…than can we really expect a new OMD camera soon?

(UPDATED) Lightning Deal on the E-M5 in UK! Price drop on France.

Share

I am so glad to finally share an European deal found by our reader Roelandt (Thanks!). AT 1pm London time the E-M5 body will get a Lightning deal at Amazon UK (Click here). I checked the Deal page of Amazon DE, but there is no E-M5 deal there.

UPDATE: There is a nice price drop in France (Thanks Lepidi). E-M5 body for 877 at Amazon France and 12-50mm kit for 1.058 (Click here).

This means that the E-M5 price may dropped world wide! Not only in USA.

New GH3 videos roundup…(iPad lag?)

Lumix GH3 vs GH2 – Continuous autofocus

43rumors readers keep sending me links to their early GH3 test videos. And of course I post them all :)

ThePhotoSoup posted a set of GH3 video test on youtube. Florian Walter shows you that there is a sort delay on the iPad Gh3 remote control (youtube). GH3 vs GH2 presentation video by Griffin Hammond (youtube). Pilpop in Berlin (vimeo). Christoph has quite many wild house-animals to show…lol (vimeo). This is probably the most…let’s say minimalistic :) GH3 video I found on vimeo.

And I didn’t get any new report about the possible production delay of the GH3 because of a viewfinder production issue. Let me know if you find some news related to this. Thanks!

Check the GH3 availability by clicking those links: [shopcountry 33624].

(UPDATED) Olympus silently lowers the price of the E-M5 E-PL5 and E-PM2 in US! And savings on lenses too!

You may remember that we had those nice E-M5 deals at Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And after that the price of the E-m5 E-Pç5 and E-PM2 went back to the usual price. Now Olympus silently lowered the price of all E-M5 kits in US. And you can also save up to $100 on Olympus lenses at Amazon (Click here to check it out).

E-M5 price drops:
-$50 on the body only at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto (Click on store names to open the page).
-$50 on the body with 14-42mm lens at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
-$100 on the body with 12-50mm lens at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Same price drops on different auctions on eBay (to check here via Slidoo).

E-PL5 price drops:
-$100 on all kits at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.

E-PM2 price drops:
-$100 on all kits at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.

Gold Box deal:
And 12.36PM you will find a new Gold Box deal on the E-PL3 at Amazon (Check it out here). Still ongoing: GF5 with 14-42mm lens for $349 only at Newegg (Click here).

For my EU readers:
Checked on some price comparison toll if there is some general price drop on the E-M5 and found nothing (as expected). Cheapest price for the E-M5 can be found as usual in France, Italy and Spain (check it here via Slidoo).

Exploded view of the Olympus E-P1.

Click on the image to see the fully exploded view of the E-P1

43rumors reader Warren sent me this image of his broken Olympus E-P1. He wrote: “The main control wheel gave up on me, and decided I cant be asked to have it fixed as I have like 7 ep1’s, 2 epl3’s a
ep2, epl5, epm2, 2 omds and a few others kicking about, so really just decided to make an artwork!”

The Olympus E-P1 was the first MFT camera from Olympus and is also the camera I still own and sue for my everyday shots along the superb [shoplink 15659]Nokton 25mm f/0.95 lens (here ot find on eBay)[/shoplink].
