although HN is competitor of Challenger(by this time every should know i work for Challenger
), I will not say he never did anything wrong1st thing, customer always try to find the best price while salesman try to earn most so no1 should be blame for this
2nd thing is that for camera market is quite competitive so $899 by right shouldn't be standard pricing, SRP for e-pl1 is 998
at the end of the day, willing buyer, willing seller =D
no offence

no changes in the market "yet"
when sony nex was released, everyone including the sales line expect the price of the camera to drop price but nope, so you can look around look for the best package that suit you =D

I think I should clarify further - I was put off more by the HN Bkt Panjang saleman's acting like he never heard of it ($899 price):dunno: and then suddenly said that he can give me the price I asked for when I was about to walk off.
Just for info., I went to HN Funan the other day and bought the E-PL1 for $948 - why? I would say its a matter of salemanship - the saleman at HN Funan explained to me the price for $948 included freebies like 2 batteries, tripod stand, camera bag, lens cleaners, whereas the price for $899 only has a standard battery with kit lens. He even patiently compared E-P1, E-P2 with E-PL1. There is no pressure to purchase, and in the end, weighing my needs, I bought the E-PL1 with the freebies. The saleman is even willing to exchange the spare battery for a UV filter, and gave me some vouchers when I don't want the tripod.
For me, if service and attitude is terrible, I wouldn't want to bother even if the product is selling at half price.
Maybe, we should do a poll on the services and attitudes of the salemans/ stores so that we can avoid these unpleasant incidents.
Hi bro,thanks for your reply.

hi all,
super newbie here again...
i was at jurong point Courts just now, n i asked for installment scheme, n they quote me $1248 for twin lens, plus 2 x 8 gb memory cards, extra battery, n free tripod. seems like the prices are more or less around 12xx.
i have a few queries... :embrass:
if u were to choose, would u guys buy twin lens or the 14-42mm kit? n why?
14-42mm is like for close distance shooting right? like for portraits n lil bit of macro shots ar.
would it be cheaper to get both or separately?
next, anyone been to the Audio house sale at expo? i heard today is the 1st day expo sale ah... any good price/lobang for EPL-1?
n i heard Gain City also have sale right?

depends, IIRC, the twin lens is the 14-42 and 40-150, 14-42 is basically similar to your pns zoom, portraits is possible, macro is possible though to get VERY CLOSE is difficult just on its own, buying things in bulk is usually cheaper (I learnt that in accounting :bsmilie

okays will just get both lens. lolx
But of course,I forgot to explain about the other lens,the other one also can capture portraits and things that are far away,in layman's term, can zoom in very close from things far away

ya, i guess i was too bored... i just used the long range 1 to zoom in n take my neighbouring block just now... :embrass:
i came back from Expo Audio house sale... got the twin lens at $1218 in installment scheme. happy.
the freebies r
1 x nikon 8gb card
1 x (nameless, lousy) lens cleaning kit
1 x Sd/Mmc card reader
1 x tripod ( a huge ass 1, i think the specs say 1345mm ? length? ... ;p )
1 x battery (looks like the 1 in the package, also from olympus)
1 x dry box
1 x (brandless) DSLR camera bag (not very big, but just enough room for twin lens)
Not too bad, lens cleaning kit kinda useless, the memory card is Nikon? sounds questionable to me,hahahah, better buy a spare in case, my tripod is slightly shorter than me, and I'm 185 :bsmilie: but do take care if its not stable,the wind could blow it with the camera onto the floor

ya, correct, its nikon... but nevermind... i got 3 spare 8gbs from previous cam buys. oops.
i never try the tripod , but i dont think i would use it either. even if i keep it in its storage condition, it is still around 500mm, n besides, it weights 750g. DSLR 500g i am already making so much noise le. so heavy. n im just abit taller than the tripod :s
i guess sooner or later the tripod will crush me.

the rest of white elephants will end up in storeroom soon. lols. n as if the battery wouldnt die on me! the most i will take would be around 200-300 pictures, so 1 card should be enough.. haha... i dont know how people can take 800-1000 pictures in a 6,7 days trips, but i had seen it in facebook before la. that 1 is super spam, n annoying, cos alot pictures were somewhat repetitive or blurr. i always believe in taking only interesting quality moments, not quantity ma...
but anyways, i am still exploring... but for now... iAuto mode on all the time. hahaa. just took a few test shots, n im quite pleased with what i see.

poor stuff, what do you mean by "as if the battery wouldnt die on me"? One battery is supposedly suppose to last about 300 shots depending on usage
