[ closed ] Olympus Announces its latest Micro4/3 camera and lenses - OM-D

[the57xguy]

Can it be a printing error? Reasonable price should be around $1868?

 

[dereth]

Looks to be a typo confirmed.

They are even giving a "day box". WTF is that?

I'm guessing price is $1868 but who knows? Typo on purpose to draw crowd?

we all know bro it's dry box lolz It's marketing gimmick bro the fine print they say balloting so I gues they will only sell a few set, this is juts to draw the crowd to thier sale. since it's week days this is a good way bring in some buyers

It actually was a pretty good review site. It’s comparable to dpreview.

But the question is... will they really be balloting to sell at $868?

Think you better edit your post before people misunderstand and anyhow go google. It's BLN-1, not BLM-1. BLM-1 is for the earlier E series like the E-1, etc.

Thanks. Fixed my typo. My brain knew the difference but my fingers apparently didn't.

Conclusion: Limited sets up for balloting are like the FT10. No indication of E-M5 being a limited set so likely the price is supposed to be $1868 and thus, in-line with their usual pricing.

So... No deal.

Sorry to dash your dreams, bros.

Pricing error.

Yeah baby! My heart almost came out of my mouth when I saw price tag of $868! I rubbed my eyes if something was wrong with my eyes upon reading ad on Strait Times today. Now typo error and my heart is working merrily as usual.

I'm glad you're still with us bro.

Stay alive and live well.

Maybe in a year or 2 it will be $868. It is after all, an Olympus.

Yeah...at least I can use small, lightweight but powerful "all in one" DSLR-stylo camera. It beats feeling strained carrying heavy and bulky "old school" DSLR with some lens.

Ok. My 16gb extreme got prob. For a moment, I thot em-5 doesn't support uhs-I. Its good to buy official products with warranty. Can 1to1 exchange.

Hi to all who had collected the OM-D

I did not pre-order the em-5, but now I like to know, which shop, Courts.... etc are having ready stock.

Buy off the selves.

Went to IMM Best Denki, they do not have it.

Hi there,

Think you are 1 day too early.

I went to IMM for dinner and walk to best Denki... They got 2 set of OMD with 12-50mm kit on the counter.

I even asked the sales to open up one to let me have a feel...

They only have black...so I decided to wait for the silver as most of my e-p3 lens is silver

Good luck !

yup it's a typo, should be $1888.

 

[frelwa]

I stopped in Henry's in downtown Toronto this afternoon. They have received their first few E-M5's, but my silver 12-50 kit hasn't come yet. Henry's also got a few HLD6 battery grips and flash units. The guy I spoke too didn't know if they had any batteries.

Yes, please do that. I have to keep jumping 3-4 different threads which is very annoying. Time to move to a new thread.

 

[cannedpineapples]

There are other threads, but this one has the brilliant '[ HOT!!! ]' right at the front.

With such great copywriting, cannot resist coming back to my favourite OMD thread...
