About Olympus camera lenses sizes and complaints .

I have the E-M10 ..small compact and i can use all m4/3 lenses (normal and Pro) with kit lens .

I have E-M5 something bigger and i can use all m4/3 lenses ( normal and Pro ) with kit lens .

I have E-M1 series a bit more bigger and i can use all m4/3 lenses (normal and Pro) .

I have E-M1X great camera for wildlife ... much more people are discovering the greatness of this camera after 2years .... (this E-M1X has been burned down from the start by stupid people ) , and i can put all m4/3 lenses on it (big and small) .

just missed this It should people darling - it just wasn’t selling and it seemed way too expensive at its size and sensor Just because people didn’t agree with you doesn’t mean they are necessarily stupid people The sales at least at first prove the point - the camera wasn’t selling well

Contrary to opinion, EM1X was selling well when it debuted.

"We don't share the sales figures for the OM-D E-M1X, but it is selling pretty well."

Not what the sales they did on it , along store data shows plus Things like BcN/ Amazon/ bhpjoto best sellers list shows

What store data? I see none.

You can check the lists at BHPhoto, Amazon, BCN.  I have checked two major hubs of authorized Olympus camera sellers.

What I do see is Senior Manager, Global Marketing Strategy saying "We don't share the sales figures for the OM-D E-M1X, but it is selling pretty well." How could sites you mention have sales data if Olympus does not share global sales figures...

Look up. IT's very simple- they simply list what's selling best by them. Those are big stores, they aren't small.

Olympus management doesn’t seem very trusty particularly after the accounting scandal and the fact they were trying to sell Olympus imaging since 2012 after denying that, after having quarter after quarter of Olympus imaging loses
So I wouldn’t take that statement as reliable and kore as company PR the same thing happened with the Olympus 4/3 e-5 - didn’t sell well but they sure said it was doing well

Speculation. Who has more access to sales data than Senior Manager, Global Marketing Strategy. His word vs whose...yours?

Where is your profile so I can see how you have inside information at OMDS...

They also told os that Olympus wouldn't sell. If you want to believe them on face value, go ahead.

I’ll try to get store data after the price drops and see how it’s doing after that

Get first full year data too for all markets, not smaller ones. In HK I was 46th on waiting list for first EM1X and waited 13 weeks for second EM1X.

The data I have of stores is not small market.

finally keep in mind generally speaking new models sell well during the first few weeks due to lent up demand that want them. It’s in the coMing months you get how it’s really doing.

He was reflecting on first full year of sales in interview. Not weeks.

That's fine, but as I said, this is a PR statement.  They told us Olympus Imaging would never sell- remember. I don't think much of any company is going to come forward with sales particularly the they could no longer need to put out financial reports.

at the Olympus authorized jig dealer hub over here the camera was just not moving The em5 mkiii moved some upon launch and later

Irrelevant.

Not irrelevant when it's a big dealer in the area. And I know two. But then you can check the sales info for yourself in the bigger stores as they have their biggest seller lists.
