Black E-M5 is the most sold (says Olympus France) And new set of refurbished E-M5 cameras in Europe…

Interview:
Olympus France stated in an interview with Lepidi (translation here) that the black version sells more than the Silver. And most buyers are SLR owners and many of them are Journalists.

E-M5 in Europe:
For the third time Olympus launched an E-M5 rebate action while Europeans have to rely on local hard to find deals. For some mysterious reason the chepaest E-M5 you can find in Euro currency is in France (864 for body at Amazon), and in Italy (on eBay via Slidoo). And after a very long time plenty of refurbished E-M5 cameras are sold at [shoplink 22691 ebay]Olympusmarket on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Update: Download Adobe Creative Suite 2 For Free

Update3: This comes from imaging-resource:

Here’s what Issacs wrote on Adobe’s community forum following the reports.

“On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated …

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!

What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don’t require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See <http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930>.

Update2: the download link appears to be still alive. Just tried it out. Don’t know what is going on.

Update: To good to be true! According to diyphotography, which cites Adobe support forum, the download was never meant to be free. The download page was meant for photographers who bought CS2, but needed to reactivate it. The download link has now been disabled.

 

Adobe’s CS2 suite can be downloaded for free. Click here to download. Serial numbers are provided with the download links. You have to be registered to Adobe (it’s free) to make the download. Mac (PowerPc) and Windows versions.
