Like it is with me some of you also still don’t know if they should get the Black or Silver E-M5. The best way to help you (and me) is to show you some sexy pictures of the E-M5 with different kind of lenses. Here is the list:

Silver E-M5 with Olympus 150mm lens at Hwupgrade. SWD link at Amazon.

It’s morning here in Europe! We slept the whole night while our US friends had the chance to chose one deal after another. We don’t have those kind of nice deals and all I can give you is just two links to some E-M5 rebates. But before that check out what Forbes wrote about Olympus. Nice to see them like the E-m5 too :)

And here are your little chance to grab an E-M5 for a cheaper price than the regular price. Nine refurbished E-M5 cameras are for sale on [shoplink 22691 ebay]Olympusmarket (Click here)[/shoplink] (via Slidoo). You really shoudn’t pay more than 900 Euro because that is the price where you can get them new(!) on eBay [shoplink 35092 ebay]UK (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 35093 ebay]France (Click here)[/shoplink] or [shoplink 35094 ebay]Italy (Click here)[/shoplink].

Beautiful Decay [Panasonic Lumix GH3] from Martin Wallgren on Vimeo.

There are plenty of GH3 reviews and videos to watch! On top you can watch the nice GH3 video sent to me by Martin Wallgren. Than we have Trustedreviews that posted the full GH3 test: “we don’t have any hesitation in saying the GH3 is one of the most intuitive CSCs we’ve used.“. And our friends over at Discovermirrorless posted two new GH3 videos: GH3 Camera Menu Peek and WiFi System on GH3.

Now let’s be confident that this time Panasonic will deliver us the camera next week. Check price and delivery dates at Amazon , Adorama, Bhphoto, Panasonic US, Samys and in Europe at Wexphotographic UK and Technikdirekt.
