Olympus’ OM-D is an impressive looking Micro Four Thirds camera, and Olympus isn’t shy about viewing it as a DSLR replacement. Based on the Australian pricing, they’re going to want to be confident about how well it performs.
Olympus Australia’s site lists the RRP for the OM-D as follows:
Model | RRP |
---|---|
E-M5 Body Only | AUD $1299 |
E-M5 Single Lens Kit (with 14-42mm IIR lens) | AUD $1399 |
E-M5 Weatherproof Kit (with 12-50mm lens) | AUD $1499 |
E-M5 Double Zoom Kit (with 14-42 IIR & 40-150mm R lenses) | AUD $1599 |
Compare that, if you will, to what Amazon US sells it for; $999 body only, or $1,099 with the 14-42 lens. Something tells me the direct importers might do well out of this one. [Olympus]
