answers. Very informative.

I understand that that's important for people who already own them. But there seem to be many people who still want these lenses today, now my question is why? Are they that good that they beat new...

People will hate me for this but I gotta say it: these lovely images are PSed to death. I can see one doing this every now and then, but doing this to all my images (or at least those I chose to...

..or maybe a moron filter, that way people who won't tolerate reasonable discussions about trifles such as consistent pricing and value can't be bothered anymore by such postings as they won't be...

Ok, let me spell it out:
I know that early adopters pay a premium.
I know the P5 has some improvements (and no weather sealing).
It's the order of magnitude I'm talking about.
As it is, it costs...

It may cost more with the OVF than the EM5?
It costs more even without it!
The EM5 now is € 1099 here with the 12-50mm, the E-P5 will cost as much but with the 14-48mm.
And if Olympus doesn't...

Well, you started a thread about P5 test shots- which will be interesting to ppl interested in the IQ of the camera. You had to keep them small, I get that, but you also pped them, essentially...

Processed images that you show at minimal resolution- why do you even bother? These show absolutely nothing anyone interested in the E-P5 would consider useful other than a pretty girl. Sorry to be...

...and it isn't PSed to death like so many other entries here.

No problem ;-)

Call them and ask.

Sigh, I wasn't talking about a slight change in price, I am talking about a fire sale of a very recent model.

Also, the 36%- 2,5 times the price is a mix-up. I was not talking about the same camera.

Hi! MM in Graz/Seiersberg   Lt. VK nicht nur dieses Stück und Farbe, ist Angebotspreis.

I just came back from the largest electronics store here in Austria and they are selling the E-PL5 for 444 € with the 14-42mm kit lens. This same camera cost 699 just 2 months ago- 36% less in just...

Not the best examples IMHO- the Pentax Q is dead AFAIK and the V1 was so much overpriced, it was worse than the PENs.

That would be a fair comment if this were the first generation where this happens, but it was the same with all others too. Even with the 3rd generation and an already ageing sensor.

I think you're absolutely correct. I find myself pondering whether to get a E-P5 knowing that I can get the same IQ for less than half with the PM2 and that the price will probably half in 12...

Bob, I pretty well know how things are as I work as a translator myself.
It's just that when I say I take so much time for every step, I cannot understand why there are so many mistakes each and...
