DAISO OFFER!!! EM1 with 12-40mm PRO!!! FREE BATTERY GRIP!!!

You are right. I do hope its merely an overreaction

If they raise the prices significantly then that would make the grey sets attractive again.

Correct, and it goes in circle again ... :dunno:

I think the Korean seller had managed to steal lots of market from the local distributor. Their price on EM1 EM10 are definitely hard to match any where in the world. How the Korean seller managed to do it is a mystery. Since a big competitor is gone, I guess local Oly will not have the pressure to give out more goodies, and may even increase price. Surely for those who want to get a Oly camera, a good alternate source will be missed.

You can still buy from the Koreans, just that the cameras don't come with warranty., It's a fair deal. You get what you paid for.

That is correct ...

Anyway, I think the discussion is purely academic now as the attractive offer of (eg. $1,049 for body only) is no longer available ... for now at least ...

Looks like the "deal" is back via another Korea merchant/shop on Qoo10..

$1980 for E-M1 body + 12-40mm Pro Lens + Free HLD-7 battery Grip (free shipping)

Very tempted.... hmmmmmm :bsmilie:

For comparison to grey sets, Technogadgets is selling the Kit set for $2044 but no free battery grip...
