Hi

Sorry if this has been done recently (I'm sure it must have been, but I haven't found it on the search).

Please could anyone suggest the best (=cheapest/most reliable/in stock) dealer from which to purchase an E5 in the UK.

The ability to handle one before buying would be a bonus! ;-)

Thanks

Chris

Nice idea but no real leads..

and they have them in stock and one you can play with.
hope this helps

Thanks Russ

That is indeed very helpful, particularly as I tried SRS Microsystems today and they are out of stock.

I'll give Park Cameras a try in the week.

Were you tempted into buying one?

Chris
 
Thanks Steve,

According to their website the bag/card offer is still on; I'll giive them a try tomorrow/Mon.

Wooherrrr.....

I feel a relapse of OAS coming on, help!

Finally plucked up the courage to contact Park Cameras about ordering an E5 - to be told they sold their last one from the current batch last Saturday. :-(

Next lot due in a few weeks... :-/

Any other suggestions please anyone??

Thanks

Chris
 
If you were to order from BH Photo in New York and use their garuenteed payment on all the shipping and inport taxes their website quotes $2155.56 which at todays rate is about £1350.

Olympus world wide garuntees mean what they say.

Worth thinking about. A little while back the 300/2.8 was less in $ than we pay in £. Even after the shipping/tax the saving would have been over £1000 - pity I still could afford one though !!

Try SRS again, they seem to get new stock regularly, but I guess if they are out, you'll have a similar wait.

Thanks Bruce - tried them today but still no stock and not sure when they're going to be getting any more.

Thanks Nigel - I will definitely give that some serious thought. (Knowing my luck BH Photo will be sold out when I contact them)!

Amazon (UK) - "Not in stock"
Park Cameras - "Currently out of stock"
Warehouse Express - "Pre order..."
SRS Microsystems - "sold out of the E5.."
Jessops - "Special order.."

Is there anywhere in the UK with any E5's at the moment?

Please?

Chris
 
Nice one, Bruce!

I'll give them a buzz tomorrow.

Thanks

Chris
 
I'm also in the UK and was looking at buying an E5 at the end of the month, but the low rate they seem to be appearing makes me think Oly don't want to produce too many that they can't sell when they bring out their high level m4/3. I would like an E5 to shoot with this season but if they are that hard to get hold of I might wait and see what appears.
