Forbes likes the E-M5 (and some E-M5 deal reminders)

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.

Lenstip trashes the new Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens!

Lenstip is the first website to post a full review of the new Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens. And that sentence kills the lens completely: “This lens is not exactly a successful construction and it should have been thought out better – I write it without scruple. I could even call it ill-considered.”

Of course this is just on opinion. You can read different reviews at Ming Thein, Robin Wong and Pekka Potka. But one thing they have in common. No One is really super excited about the lens.

The new Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens can now be preordered at Adorama, BHphoto and Amazon DE.
