      WOW! even better!

    • bennib0i on 19/06/2012 - 16:36

      takes the E-PM1 to $336 - 50 = $286!

      and if you are going overseas, the pre-cashback is >$300, so you can get GST of $30 back:
      $336 - $30 - $50 = $256!

      • Mikeshashimi on 20/06/2012 - 05:06

        this is what im looking to do…

        I'm tempted… really really tempted.

  • RNDM on 19/06/2012 - 16:51

    Not bad price for the newly released NEX F3

    • bonus999 on 19/06/2012 - 18:51

      NEX-F3 without touchscreen control.
      Good PQ and nice price.

  • inertia on 19/06/2012 - 18:19

    Hmm for some reason the 25% isn't subtracting from my NEX-F3…

    Edit: Doesn't seem to be working for any Sony Models…

    Edit2: Except for the NEX-5n

    • willyum on 19/06/2012 - 19:04

      Not sure what's happening with the F3, it didn't say there were any exclusions…might have to contact their online team

      • inertia on 19/06/2012 - 19:20

        When you go to their camera section on the regular website, most of the NEX range fall under "Digital SLR" as opposed to compact system :/

        • RNDM on 19/06/2012 - 20:34

          Pink F3 is getting the discount. :)

        • inertia on 20/06/2012 - 09:10

          Not for me :/

        • inertia on 20/06/2012 - 19:41

          Goddamn it… gonna take the plunge and grab the black F3!

          Now just need to sell my trusty NEX-5 and the surplus 18-55!

  • omygodde on 19/06/2012 - 18:21

    Great bargain, bought one!
    The GST on e-pm1 is actually $40 (from the original $448 price tag), so if you are planning to use TRS it will bring it down to $246.

    • ozblocd on 19/06/2012 - 18:34

      TRS only refunds the GST you paid - not based on RRP!

      • omygodde on 19/06/2012 - 18:36

        yeah, the GST on the invoice says $40.

        • sonic2011 on 19/06/2012 - 18:44

          to be exact $40.73

        • omygodde on 19/06/2012 - 18:46

          Oops, the actual invoice I got later says $30. Sorry.

  • chir0nex on 19/06/2012 - 18:56

    Did they jack the price of the E-PM1? Its now $521 after discount!

    • willyum on 19/06/2012 - 19:01

      you might be looking at the twin kit?

      • chir0nex on 19/06/2012 - 20:44

        I was looking for the silver single lens but i can only find purple listed. U have to click on the links to get a decent priced silver/white one!

        Purchased a silver and also white E-PM1 to go with my and my gf's X100 and E-PL2 woohoo.

  • ezza on 19/06/2012 - 19:27

    doesn't work on sony models.. tried all others they seem to work… bizarre!!! i also coulda sworn i saw a Sony NEX5n on there earlier today but its not there now.

  • ltwo on 19/06/2012 - 19:38

    Very tempted to get the E-PM1

    • Duff5000 on 20/06/2012 - 12:47

      I got one a few weeks back, it is a very good camera. It is an EP3 without the built in flash and swing out screen. Otherwise they are essentially the same.

  • binnybo on 19/06/2012 - 19:39

    Just bought a sony nex-5n, it worked for me. Do you guys think anywhere would price match or beat these offers?

  • ltwo on 19/06/2012 - 20:17

    So the E-PM1 will work with ANY m43 mount lenses?

    • windrc on 19/06/2012 - 21:06

      yes. E-PM1 is on m4/3 mount.

      http://www.four-thirds.org/en/microft/body.html#i_pen_mini_e…

      • annexe on 20/06/2012 - 10:16

        Is it worth while getting twin lens or single lens for E-PM1?

        • Foma2 on 20/06/2012 - 11:05

          I got the one with single lens, as I know my missus won't bother changing them ;)
          And I've got a proper DSLR with 5 lenses - 3 used constantly :)

        • annexe on 20/06/2012 - 11:17

          Thanks for the info Foma2… I'll look into adapter :)

        • windrc on 20/06/2012 - 11:26

          Although the twin lens would cover you with a wide range of 14-42, 40-150 (equivalent to 28-300 for 35mm Full Frame) but like Foma2 said, changing lens can be a bother.

          If you intend to invest in the lens, i would suggest getting the olympus 14-150mm as a all purpose to replace the kit lens, and add the Panasonic 20mm 1.7F for indoor/low light shots.

          Since the main reason you would go for m43 over dslr is the lighter weight/size especially good for travel.
          The lenses I mentioned aren't cheap, (~700, 400 aud), but they tend to hold their value very well compare to a camera body.

        • siuol on 20/06/2012 - 11:30

          yeah will definitely consider to get a pancake lens to make it really portable….

        • annexe on 20/06/2012 - 14:59

          Excellent… definitely will look into 20mm lens! Thanks windrc

  • ccrap on 19/06/2012 - 20:30

    Does anyone know if it works with their regular digital cameras as well eg Panasonic tz30. Sorry am on a very slow connection atm and can't get the HN site to load. Thanks.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/06/2012 - 20:32

    Just ordered E-PM1! Thanks!

  • chris24803 on 19/06/2012 - 21:07

    Does anyone know how the NEX-F3 compares to the PEN cameras?

    • inertia on 20/06/2012 - 11:58

      Very, very well. But for double the price, unless you shoot regularly you probably won't notice. (I've got the NEX-5)

  • grab_ur_freebies on 19/06/2012 - 21:28

    Do the olympus models have a stabiliser in-body or in-lenses?

  • aar on 19/06/2012 - 21:48

    Couldn't resist the mini for $286
    Got the Black, so had to go to main web page for other colours
    $5 postage cheaper than going to pick it up
    Looking forward to playing with the SLR lenses on this with an adaptor
    Thanks for post

  • slknv on 19/06/2012 - 21:50

    Brilliant price on e-pm1, we took one to Europe for 6 weeks instead of my canon dslr and it performed fantastic. Highly recommended!

    • sayako on 20/06/2012 - 00:15

      Hi slknv! May I know what lenses would you recommend for a holiday trip with the e-pm1?

      Thank you!

      • slknv on 20/06/2012 - 10:37

        Just took the kit lens zoom with us, did a fine job. A pancake lens might be nice, but costs more than the e-pm1 at this deal price! The built in picture effects/filters are actually pretty good, used the grainy film and dramatic filters quite a bit. Usually you would do post-processing on a regular photo, but it doesn't take much effort to take a regular photo and also a processed photo in camera. We took 40gb of photos/videos with the e-pm1 (about 8500 shots) in 6 weeks. I would recommend also getting a spare battery or two and a travel charger, got mine off eBay cheap. Standard battery takes around 250 shots but always runs out when you least want it to, and doesn't give you much warning it's low on power. Also got a small grip to add to the front of the camera as otherwise it's quite slippery. Also bought off eBay a lens cap with string to keep me from losing it.

        I paid $400 in feb for this camera, street price in hong kong when I was there last month is about aud$620 at broadway, fortress etc, so this is a steal!

      have you tried with the new firmware? will test it when I got mine today.

    • Duff5000 on 20/06/2012 - 12:49

      My one doesnt. could be the earlier version 1 lens?

      • stumo on 20/06/2012 - 16:29

        Yes I updated the firmware in the camera to V1.2 or whatever it is. be warned its a pretty hairy process and takes a solid half an hour with zero progress indication!

        And no mine is the latest version II lens with "MSC".

        It only happens on quiet subjects, seems the camera boosts the internal mic gain but then it picks up the lens AF noise.

        The only reason yours doesn't do it, is because you are using C-AF, or the lens is very new and hasn't worn in yet. One of my replacements didn't do it to start with, but the noise came back after half an hours use.

      • sonic2011 on 21/06/2012 - 18:32

    I think minijumbuk referred to stock of EPM1. I'm not sure which color he ordered, but I ordered a WHITE colour one and it's on back order. If you have not got an email from HN to say your order is in back order, then you should be fine

  • Mikeshashimi on 20/06/2012 - 12:10

    I just went to pick up my EPM1 and the guy at the HN store was all like.. "hmm.. we're not sure how you got that price"…

    • bonus999 on 20/06/2012 - 12:27

      The pickup process is a mess. I ordered a Beats SoloHD last week and went to pick up yesterday, the online pickup said they don't have that stock and ask me to ask the salesman from the store for that. After asked the salesman said there have no order information on their system and the salesman walked around in the store and keeping asking. That took me an hour there and end up the salesman gave me Bests Solo original version in different color and not updating my invoice. The most terrible thing was I ordered Solo HD but not original version and the salesman there gave me the original version (very very tricky and not honest at all). So I asked them to update my invoice and change back to HD version, end up they only have the white color which I ordered red! End up they spent me an hour and half for nothing gave me and I need to pick up from another store in another day. Terrible!

      I recommend you to pay for the shipping to avoid this kinds of thing happened.
      P.S. Actually the HN online is a franchise of HN, so in-store pickup is based on in-store stock. It seems there have no communication between Online and Retail store, so if they asked you to pickup just go and don't wait or the Retail will sell out all the stock and you got nothing when pickup.

    • happyheros on 20/06/2012 - 12:27

      Lucky you. Which color did you order and which HN sotre did you go?

    To all the new EPM1 owners:

    If you are going to have more than one lens get a tail cap here:
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/260875317495 (the one taht comes with it doesnt screw on and can fall off)

    (I have an epm1 and both of the above.)

    Dont forget to turn on the "Super control panel" when you get it if you want better control of the camera.

      Well, if you must know, Harvey Norman as part of their 'Super Sizzler Saturday' 30th June 2012 sale
      does have 25% off the Olympus E-M5. The advertising flyer says the sale excludes the the Olympus
      OM-D E-M5, but that didn't stop the Harvey Norman store in Melbourne (Queen Victoria site) from
      discounting their E-M5 by 25% off the ticket price.

      The cheapest E-M5 they had was with the 14-42 'kit lens' (not the 12-50 unfortunately), there was
      no sale on the 'body-only' price. E-M5 plus 14-42 kit lens was about $1040.

    Thinking of buying the e-pm1 but would like the pancake lens. Would it be better off buying the twin pack version and then try to sell the other lens to cover the cost of the pancake lens? Or just buy the single lens version and buy the pancake lens somewhere else?
