Just got mine yesterday from John 3:16 at SGD1680 cash basis - includes the 12-50 mm lens, 16GB SD card and the Oly Cooper Bag (which I am still deciding whether to or not).

Not sure if it's even considered a good deal by this time since the last post was on Oct 1st...but ah well, that's the best deal offered to me after one round at Funan.

Any idea if the deal at funan comes with the dealer freebies (e.g. 16GB card + Olympus bag?)

Unfortunately, the JB stores are selling around the RM4000 mark, and I'll not be making a trip to JB/Penang anytime soon.

Thanks for this. Is the bag collected from Oly directly?

Bags are usually given by megastores

I bought mine from TK Foto as it was the only shop which allowed me to test. I bought body for 1350 and 45mm for 420. No bag which is ok as I am using my herringbone.

Is it wise to buy from Amazon?
