EM-10 Official! The OM-D for All!


So u got em10 kit with pancake and 25? Can share price? Pm also can. Thanks.

Got the kit at $1150 and 25 f1.8 at $470.

Slightly more expensive than TK but I like their services. :)
 

Actually during the course of comparing EM-5 versus EM-10 I noticed one difference - that is the position of the tripod mount. If I intend to use the camera for landscapes, including panorama making, then I would probably take the EM-10. The tripod mount is in line with centre of lens, compared to off-centre on EM-5 (can be resolved, but requires special plate which is a hassle no matter how you look at it). Something for you guys to consider as well. Me.. I'm going to be using this second camera to take photos of my wife and cats. No panos there. :bsmilie:

That's what i noticed when i first saw it! no need an offset plate anymore, save a bit time setting up pano head. haha.

Beats me.

Apparently Olympus claims that you shouldn't clean EM-5 sensor yourself because it may do damage to the IBIS system.

Well at least users are claiming that Olympus claims it. I always take anything I read on the Internet with a pinch of salt. Given that the Copperhill kit I use doesn't require a whole ton of force, I don't see any difference between bringing a swab across the sensor and getting a jolt during a car ride. The latter is probably more damaging if the IBIS system is so delicate like a flower. :bsmilie:

A lot more threads on DPReview echoing the same story, with one person saying that Olympus gave him a reply that their techs would "recharge anti-static coat on sensor" whenever they cleaned the camera for customers. With a Harry Potter wand perhaps. :bsmilie:

actually in 7 years with Oly only once with issue, and it was a stain not a dust. But pretty much all other cameras (Pentax K30, 5d classic is the worst, fuji xpro1, gxr etc) I own / pre-owned, has dust issue haha. i think i should try copperhill someday :)
 

I wouldn't look at the extended warranty being a overriding important factor when deciding between 2 cameras ;)

coz u change much earlier mah :bsmilie:

Yar, I just used it to clean a second hand EM-5 that I just got. :bsmilie: Just one stain. Quite easy leh.

any bros wishing to get a spare batt can check out Amazon here,

http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-BLS-5...?ie=UTF8&qid=1392990440&sr=8-1&keywords=bls-5

there's a current promo for the BLS-5, one only at USD29 (excl shipping of course haha)

Amazon will ship to Singapore? Thought these days everyone is super uptight about shipping lithium ion batteries (beats me why though).. I tried to get some from Taobao and they refused to ship. :(

hmm, i had shipped a DSTE batt set over before but it was thru VPost. I'm not sure abt current rules but last time i had a lithium batt over with a camera body from Amazon was just in Dec 13.

I just ordered 3 DSTE batteries from ebay lol.
 

According to the Oly guy at the collection office, battery should be in by next week.
However all other things like grip, lens cap have no ETA.
 

I saw E-M10 at Harvey Norman northpoint. Checked and was told that promotion of 8% + 8% was available for this model, $1056 after discount. Guys buying perhaps can check with ur nearest Harvey Norman for price :)

I did not see any stock in funan HN when I made my purchase with TK on the 20th Feb.
advise to call them in case the sales person gave me the wrong info.

thanks for the heads up...
 

Standing at Funan HN now , the 8% + 8% is not applicable to the EM10. Only selected cameras.

But haha, If u can wait a bit more, EM10 will be releasing double lens kits very soon. The price is just slightly higher than single kit. They do have 2 silver sets now.

And .. I just got the 25/1.8 at HN Funan at possibly the lowest price in whole of Funan.
