(FT3) Possible Olympus E-M1II prices leaked in Australia

Those are the E-M1II prices in Australia. I am yet not sure if those are the 100% definitve prices. Also note that Australian prices are usually higher than US and EU prices. A pure currency conversion doens’t make sense. So let’s estimate the US/Euro price that way:

The Fuji X-T2 costs 2,299 AUS at CameraPro. This means the E-M1II price is 13% higher. So we can guess:

US price: X-T2 price at Amazon.com is $1,599. E-M1II price could be around $1799
Eu price: X-T2 price at Amazon.de is 1.699 Euro. E-M1II price could be around 1899 Euro.

As I said, the US and EU prices are just a guess. But it’s highly likely the E-M1II will be priced a bit above the Fuji X-T2. What are your thoughts on this?

Panasonic patented a new kind of Micro Four Thirds lens design aimed to give you a full manual control over aperture and focusing. The lens has a unique focus grip just like manual focusing Leica and Vogitlander lenses. This could become a new series of full manual focusing MFT lenses?
