HN will have them for $1480 by the end of this month. John @ Funan sells them already but only lens kits with lens removed.

Okay, black single lens kits are also sold out at Courts Tampines, only plenty of silver kits available. I have the feeling Olympus only ships silver OMDs right now...

Just wonder is the twin kit more worthy? This is my 1st mirco 4/3 camera. I no other lens for me to play around.
Or is it better to get the standard package, which is the single lens kit. and buy a telephoto lens later?

Correct me if i'm wrong, now the black set comes with twin lens kit, which also means both lens are black in color. Does Silver twin lens kit both comes with silver lens?

i know thats a noob question

Maybe, the 14-42mm IIR is a nice small standard zoom but it isn't weather sealed. I would go for the 12-50mm kit coz of it's weather sealing, wider focal length at the wide end and a better maximal reproduction ratio for close-ups. Save the $100 now and buy a better tele zoom lens if you need one later.

Yes, that's the lens in the single lens kit here in Singapore.

Wonderful. I switched to the 12-50mm when photographing basketball in the rain yesterday for a team-building event.

I had to keep my own self dry though. Hahaha....

Word of advice - Get the hood.

Hi
When did you see the stocks. Called courts and they said sold out.
If available, are they selling at the same price as courts woodland ? Ie 1800 with free gifts?

Thanks for the info in advance as I can't seem to get any through court hotline

During lunch time! They sold it for $1888 and only with a slowmo 16GB card.
Woodland still has it in stock for $1800?
