James: “Amazon UK has the black OMD EM10 mk ii dual lens kit down to 529.99 at the moment – cheaper than the body only. It was this price just before Christmas but sold out. The silver one is still 749.99”

PEN-F sales ranking at Amazon US and DE: US like it Black and Germans like it Silver.

rank_ings

Short question: How are PEN-F preorder going?

According to Amazon US rankings (Click here) the Black PEN-F sells better than the Silver one. Both have strong sales but still didn’t manage to dethrone the A6000. But of course the Sony is sold in one color only.

On the other side of the world Amazon Germany rankings (Click here) shows that the Silver version is definitely selling better than the Black one.

Of course Amazon rankings are non conclusive. But still it’s the only way we have yet to see if a camera is popular or not.
