[ Camera ] All about the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5

[alamak]

Recently, shops here are selling at RRP for new camera.
I wonder did all shops gang together to sell at RRP.
Singapore was once a place where foreigners came here to buy electronics products because of the low price. Today it is one of the most expensive.

Foreigners can claim GST but we can't :cry:

Anyone interested in going over to jb to buy? Maybe we can ask for a lower price.

I wouldn't recommend registering anyway before you need it. It's better for reselling not to register it.

Does it mean that after one year, u dun register Ur warranty, the buyer can buy and register to get another year of warranty?

No, he would still need to show the invoice. But if you sell the camera in 6 months it's more comfortable the new buyer can register the remaining 6 months under his own name. Otherwise it might be a hassle if he has to claim the warranty through you.

Did u buy body only or with kit?

I bought single lens kit

Gave a call to the JB stores, and they are selling at close to S$1050. But some of the stores are giving away a free Flucard as well.

Anyone any idea, the 3 inch LCD of the EPL5, dimension wise is same as which Oly cameras? Looks different compared to OMD.

Just saw m43rumors that epl5 has no AA filter (tks to a friend), if that's really true, best reason to grab one now...

However, a little skeptical though about this as this would be a real marketing tool and selling point for oly...

Just read that, too. Interesting, indeed. I wonder if their future models will all be without AA filters.

If they can "add" this feature to pen lite model, I can't see y not for pen pro, or emx in future got me up from my bed on this one. Hope it's true though. Less is certainly more if so.

It's Mee Too actually.
