Or in Italy Here for £1100
Amazon give you a superb no-quibble returns policy though, which is why I tend to prefer them even if it costs a few quid more.
Of course, if I wanted the cheapest possible I'd look at a grey import, but I personally value the warranty and service quite a bit these days. Having seen so many new cameras etc come out with design and QC problems it's just not worth it in my opinion.
Praise be to Olympus......stuff he said....
Of course the GAS addiction still says to me....ooh could have had that a7 and a nice 55mm f1.8 and covered it by selling all my m4/3 gear.......but i did it!!!! I resisted...
The Sony A7 and Sony FE 55mm f1.8 is amazing!
It's not as bad some make outIt's a pity they can't work the same magic with their 24-70 f/4
It's not as bad some make out
It's definitely as good, if not better than my old Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8
Jeeez you guys are killing me!
I think once i get over the 6 month hurdle i will be GAS free for life. The only other camera i had for 6 months was a sony A55....still no idea why i sold that.......so many cameras so many excuses to remember why i swapped....lol
Or just one, the FE 55mm f1.8 will do!A couple of glasses of red should do the trick
Sorry, caught the Nikon bug......again@allanm ... Well well well...
what about a nice 12-40f2.8.....Praise be to Olympus......i made it through today without giving into GAS temptation. There was a sony a7 with kit lens that i almost went for on ebay today.It sold for £680( what a bargain) and i think if i didnt love my EM5 so much i would have taken a punt on it.
So glad to have found a camera and system i finally think i am going to stick with.

No probs, I'd love to see what you can do with it
It doesnt even look like dirt...more like a long streak made with an oily marker. smudge1 by jakepark333, on Flickr
He will be back here next week just you watchThats one awful smudge! Hope its easy to sort.
On a side note I just saw in another thread that after all that Rookies got a Nikon
So in anticipation of my 12-40 arriving i thought i would check my sensor for dirt. I havent cleaned it since getting it. In fact i had not taken any white wall or blue sky shots to check. I was suprised both good and bad. On the good side i could only really see a couple of small dust spots upwards of f12. But to my horror on the left hand side of the sensor from f6 upwards is what looks like a long almost straight smudge line from virtually top to bottom. It doesnt even look like dirt...more like a long streak made with an oily marker. I have no idea what this it but its not been caused by me becuase i have never touchecd the sensor. I think i will need to contact olympus as it surely must be a manufacturing issue. Size wise imagine a 32" tv and then get a bingo marker and draw a line from top to bottom!--ok maybe I went a bit overboard with my description-but its pretty bad.

The mark looks very similar to the one in that thread but in a different direction. I wonder if it was caused when assembling the camera. Mine is only 3 months old so i have contacted Olympus. Hopefully they should arrange collection and fix it within a week. Well other brands manage this so lets see.......hehe.Have a look at this thread,wondering if it's the same thing.
