You really can't compare a brand new camera at full MSRP to a two year old camera that was heavily discounted, and perhaps even refurbished. Wait a while, and that EPL7 will be selling for much less.

And then someone will start a thread in 2016 titled "How can they sell the EPL8 when I can get a refurbished EPL7 for half the price?"

You can extend that concept to anything. "How can they sell a 2014 Toyota, when I can buy a 2012 Toyota for less?" See my point?

It is the deep discount that makes the argument. $399 for a new E-PM2 with kit lens and the 40-150 telephoto at getolympus.

If they were selling new 2012 Camrys on the dealer lot for $12,000 you bet they would have trouble moving 2014 models.

Drastic over-production is hard to recover from.
