dereth said:Oh you guys are lucky...
I'll wait for my silver set.
Same. Will beat my deadline for my good friday and saturday shoot. Sold my 5D already. So now a choice of using e-620,-520, 30d or th e-pl2. Might as well wait for the silver end april.
I recently used my e-pl2 for a casual shoot and i have to tell you it is great... Impressed. Only thing is what will the couple say if u wield a small cam!

Here is the screenshot comparison I download from dpreview. Canon 5DMIII JPEG ISO6400 vs Olympus OMD -EM5 JPEG ISO3200
Why vs OMD ISO3200 ? Because OMD has 5 axis IS, which claim to have at least 3 EV stop IS. In fact, to lower down from ISO6400 to ISO3200 is only 1 EV stop. never mind, we take more conservative approach. To me, Oly OMD does not perform worse than Canon 5D MIII in term of noise. and OMD preserve more detail.
Head to head, OMD is a winner here. If u factor that Canon 5D MIII is FF, and OMD is m4/3 sensor, then it is obvious answer. Some more it comes with titl LCD, weather shield, award winning wave front filter, 1.44m EVF. Pair with 12-50mm, the AF is as fast as DSLR. and this is less than SGD1.8K.

i make no conclusion. that fellow bought HKD10,500 from Broadway. Broadway is like Harvey Norman/Best Denki in Singapore.
in those traditional camera shop like Tin Cheung, it may be below HKD10,000...no idea...
TC is good. Wing Shing as well.
Btw, the silver is in HK too in small volume. source from EM5 銀機到港 - 4/3 M43 å™¨æè¨Žè«–å ‚ - 奧林派 香港4/3及M43攝影論壇 Olympus / Panasonic Hong Kong forum. if one can read though. Singapore is really slow...

Good news for those who ordered black (e.g. me) but bad news for those who ordered silver. Maybe silver is too high in demand in certain countries and Olympus decides to fulfill the demand there first.

For what I see is black much retro look than the silver ones.

He is from Courts. I guess what he means is Olympus brand IC from Courts.
I just met up with Steven not even 5 minutes before he sent that SMS. Just cancelled my OM-D order today. :/
By the way, Steven is a very nice chap. He kept apologizing for not being able to have the silver for me for my trip. Feel bad that I had to cancel, but defeats the purpose if I can't have it for my trip.
He should go work for one of the camera specialty shops, he's too good for Courts.

Maybe stay in courts better. He's the IC/supervisor? Vs salesman at photography specialty shop... Better career...
