      Buy the single lens kit, then get the 14mm Panasonic Lumix 2.5 pancake from eBay ($165 delivered). This would be the best bang for buck. Don't bother with the Olympus 14mm 2.8.

      If funds are not an issue, then 20mm Panasonic Lumix 1.7 pancake is also highly rated, but more than double the price of the 14mm (the 14mm is more of a bargain).

      I have ordered the E-PM1 for my sister, and grabbed the 14mm pancake from eBay (lots of sellers are selling the lenses cheap from kits, hence the $165.00 price).

      • zinga77 on 20/06/2012 - 14:45

        Thanks mate sounds like a plan. Only issue is I have to wait till the 1st July to buy it because my parents are heading overseas on the 31st July so I can then claim the tax back as well. Hope they don't pull this camera from the sale before then.

      • siuol on 20/06/2012 - 14:58

        Why would you prefer Lumix 2.5 over Oly 2.8?
        I have seen some pretty good review for Oly online…

      • sonic2011 on 20/06/2012 - 14:58

        Can I get the ebay link? I can't find the price that you mentioned $165 delivered.

        • sonic2011 on 20/06/2012 - 15:35

          thanks mate…

        • skatoz on 20/06/2012 - 20:29

          Very cheap - may these be knock-offs?

        • stumo on 27/06/2012 - 21:41

          I was ummming and aaahhing about getting one of these lenses yesterday. But now today I noticed that they've added $20 to the shipping cost! And so have all the other sellers!

          They must want a piece of the action now with everyone in AU picking up cheap E-PM1's.

          But I can wait.

        • ozblocd on 02/07/2012 - 11:47

          I was gonna buy one, but they never responded to my queries re "genuine" or knock-off…

  • skatoz on 20/06/2012 - 15:30

    Those that have picked a camera up from a store, did you get an invoice on the spot or are they sending it via email?

    • bochsubs on 20/06/2012 - 16:04

      I got an invoice via email, then when I pick it up, they print another invoice for me. That's Melbourne QV, looks like some place may not do it.

  • JetLi on 20/06/2012 - 15:35

    They sent me a tax invoice via email this morning, I purchased the E-PM1 last night. They don't give you an invoice when you pick the goods up from their store. I just used the emailed invoiced for the cashback application.

  • ff0605 on 20/06/2012 - 16:36

    Nikon V1 twin kit ordered from Broadway shopping center branch (Sydney). although it's not on the list, still has 25% discount for AU$816.

    It's has been few hours till now, still no reply :(

  • doze on 20/06/2012 - 17:31

    Picked up my latest toy this afternoon in black. Damn you Ozbargain. This is now my 3rd camera in the last few months.

    I just ordered and went to the store half an hour later without waiting for the pickup email. They said that they hadn't received the online order yet and told me to wait for 5 minutes. Camera was ready at the cashier a few minutes later.

  • atlas on 21/06/2012 - 01:24

    So so tempted by the E-PM1 as a backup to my 5D2…

    But high-ISO noise and no built-in flash is a tad annoying for indoor shots…

  • chir0nex on 21/06/2012 - 12:27

    My silver E-PM1 got delivered this morning. Ordered at about 9pm on Tuesday night. White one i ordered about 30 minutes after still hasn't been delivered yet.

  • bombcat on 21/06/2012 - 13:04

    Got a call from HN this morning advised that I need to wait for at least 2-3 weeks for my white E-PM1, unless I take a silver one with a bonus memory card.

    • chir0nex on 21/06/2012 - 13:17

      Thats a bit of a bummer. Did u order for delivery or pickup? I haven't received a call or anything :(

      • bombcat on 21/06/2012 - 13:41

        I ordered it for delivery. Since this model and the deal is so popular, I won't bet on finding one in store. I am buying it for my miss so white is the only option.

        • chir0nex on 22/06/2012 - 21:45

          Yeah i called them today, they're out of stock of the whites. Going to get some more in through store transfer but it'll be a week. They have lots of black ones they can swap with though but white > black!

    • siuol on 21/06/2012 - 17:23

      Why is white so popular? It does not look that good with silver lens…

      Picked up a black one yesterday afternoon and then ordered all the accessories from ebay:
      1. 2 spare batteries for $8
      2. 6 screen protectors for $2.4
      3. a generic lens pouch (hopefully will fit the camera with 14-42 for $2.8

      Ridiculous service from Alexandria HN (gardeners road):
      1. I asked to check the content of the camera, then once i opened the box i saw a lens cap sitting on top of the manual.
      2. the cap protecting the sensor is not attached to the body!
      3. the lens is in unlock position and with all the caps lying in the box in various location!
      4. the battery is IN the body!

      The cashier and another staff still proclaim that it is a brand new camera, I asked to open another one to have a look as a proof and they refused. Finally another cashier (at a higher level apparently) was informed and I told her what was going on. She asked me "Is this being like this when you opened the box". I said "Yes". Then she just told the others to "get him another one". No apologies or whatsoever from all of them and when I left they were shaking heads and doing small talk.

      I couldn't believe they cannot even do this kind of things right.

      • aar on 21/06/2012 - 18:45

        Keen for a screen protector link. Couldn't find an exact match. You didn't want the hard coated one ?

        No filters ?

        Yeah Black looks nice.

        My local HN are good. Shame they can't offer the price.

      • skatoz on 21/06/2012 - 19:59

        Could you also share links to the batteries and the pouch?

        If you can be bothered you can call head office and put in a complaint. Number of complaints against a store are are kept by head office and the franchisee cops it if they get too many. With that in mind most franchisees will follow any complaints up with the staff involved.

    ordered a black single lens E-PM1 Kit and just received and email saying they're out of stock and should be receiving stock in 14 days. Hope i don't have to wait too long!

    I was thinking of doing pickup from a couple of their stores and checked and they had stock. Chose delivery so i didn't have to go out of my way… wish i had chosen pickup now :(

    • siuol on 21/06/2012 - 18:13

      Try call the number in the order confirmation email. Last time they offered me to go to another store for pickup.

  • pps on 21/06/2012 - 19:55

    Why everyone is buying EPM1 and no one is buying nex 5n? Is epm1 is better than nex 5n. Sorry i dont have much knowledge about cameras

    • Duff5000 on 21/06/2012 - 21:33

      NEX-5n
      Positives
      + better in low light
      + few extra mega pixels (for what it is worth)

      negatives
      - heaps more expensive in this offer
      - focus is not as fast
      - the lenses are nowhere near as compact. The camera is about the same size but the lenses are much bigger
      - not as many lenses available (but there is still plenty.)

      • pps on 21/06/2012 - 23:40

        so what are the good lens that i can buy for EPM1 do you know what are the prices and any links if possible?

      • lnq on 24/06/2012 - 10:36

        I've just pickup EPM1 from HN Willey Park. The camera is cheaply built, picture quality is not as good, not much improve compare to my old Fuji Finepix 6 Megapixel. Attually, I think you got what you pay for anyway.

        • Duff5000 on 24/06/2012 - 14:04

          I call BS. either you cant use the camera or you havent looked at your 6mp fuji shots in a while. I printed some 11x14in prints from a epm1 and they come out great.

          Image quality is exactly the same as the ep3 which is a far more expensive camera.

    • bombcat on 21/06/2012 - 22:12

      I bought the EPL2 more than a year ago, it's awesome with the Panasonic 20 1.7 lens. The Micro 4/3 lens selection is much better than what Sony can offer.
      I ordered the white EPM1 so I can share lens with my GF.

  • pps on 22/06/2012 - 11:40

    Does any one tried to price match EPM1 somewhere else??

  • bigsue19 on 22/06/2012 - 13:40

    Well, finally caved and picked up my E-PL3 from HN Caringbah today. First foray into MFT, so this'll be interesting. I only got the single lens kit…any quick suggestions for a next good lens to use, mainly for general purpose use?

    Thanks for the heads up on this deal!

      • zinga77 on 22/06/2012 - 14:09

        I'm off to hike the inca trail and looking at getting the E-PM1 single lens kit and buy the Panasonic 14mm f2.5 off ebay. Would that be the best lens to use for the machu picchu type shots?

      • bigsue19 on 22/06/2012 - 14:42

        Awesome! Thanks so much! Off for more shopping then. :D

  • Tycn on 22/06/2012 - 22:06

    Ordered black E-PM1 for pickup from from Broadway, Sydney. Was in stock when I placed order, then got an email saying it'll be on backorder for 3 days. Second email, backorder for 21 days.

    I needed it soon which defeats the purpose of the deal for me. The HN person on the telephone was extremely evasive when I asked how long it would take to get a refund, is there anything I can do to expedite the process?

    • sayako on 22/06/2012 - 22:32

      try asking to change it to be delivered?
      I'm not sure if it works, but there's some HN in other places which do have it in stock.

    • Duff5000 on 23/06/2012 - 00:27

      call head office, 02 9201 6111, ask to speak to someone regarding online. Get them to sort it out. Maybe they could get it from a different store.

      Worked for me when a store wouldn't match the online price for a router. Girl at the checkout said they wouldn't match online. Pointed out that if i went home, filled in the order online i would be back to the same place to pick it up at that price.

      Called HO from the car park. They called the franchisee who came out and put it through for me. Cant complain in the end.

    • Tycn on 23/06/2012 - 14:46

      Thanks, I'll pester them a bit more and try to get a refund or a pickup from elsewhere. Unfortunately their office seems to be closed on weekends though.

  • alamodey on 24/06/2012 - 17:00

    Ordered a black Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1 Single Lens Kit late on Friday night, and I got a call from the manager at the local (Frankston Vic) store today, Monday to ask if it was OK to drop it off. I paid for the postage thinking it would come from some central wharehouse. Anyway 10 mins later he turns up and hand delivers it to me. Pretty pleased with that.

    • siuol on 26/06/2012 - 09:37

  • seedshe on 26/06/2012 - 17:23

    Just received a call from Harvey Norman North Ryde asking me to change the colour from white to black/brown or cancel the order. I really want the white one! What can I do now? (just checked their website, they are still selling the white ones!)

    • bonus999 on 27/06/2012 - 11:38

      Change it to "Delivery" rather than "Pick up".
      As the HN online shop have no connection with HN retail shop.
      Hope this help.

      • seedshe on 27/06/2012 - 11:41

        Thanks for your help! Actually I ordered it for delivery not pick up. Wondering why they are calling me to change my order.

  • dang on 26/06/2012 - 18:17

    I was keen on the Olympus PEN EP3. Called and visited the Sydney stores that the web site indicated had stock - neither have any. So I emailed (sat 23/6) web site asking how long I might expect to wait for delivery - no reply. Price is outstanding but I'm not confident they can deliver… what to do?

    • grab_ur_freebies on 26/06/2012 - 22:35

      Ordered a silver E-PM1 for delivery last Fri. Initially got an email saying 4 days backorder wait for stock, but received the item by fastway courier today afternoon at lunch.

      I would say they the stock they have the most of is black & silver.

  • alamodey on 27/06/2012 - 23:06

    I ordered my E-PM1 on Monday and already received it today. Am I the only person that's shocked to find that it didn't come with a stock SD card?

    • stumo on 27/06/2012 - 23:21

      The last time I got a stock card included was the very first Canon Digital Ixus way back in 2000. I think it was an 8MB CF card, yes thats MB not GB lol.

    • willyum on 28/06/2012 - 11:24

      Cameras these days don't come with SD cards in the box…sort of like how printers these days don't come with a printer cable

    • siuol on 28/06/2012 - 16:16

      Would you like a 128MB SD card comes with it? this will only hold 20 pictures in highest resolution….

      Even though DC had always been came with SD card they were pretty much useless. (e.g. 3.2MP comes with 16MB, 2.0MP comes with a 8MB etc)

      I welcome the move as this is more environmentally friendly and we don't need to be struck with free SD card with small capacity and slow speed

    • Duff5000 on 28/06/2012 - 17:23

      No interchangable lens camera (including SLRs) i have purchased or seen has had a card in the box. It is industry standard not to have one in this class of camera.

  • pps on 28/06/2012 - 01:48

    found this on ozbargain for SD card

    which one would work better for this camera?

    also want to find out if you go down to pick it up from store are you suppose to get a Receipt or you will get it in your email?

    • bigsue19 on 28/06/2012 - 08:52

      Can't help on the SD card question, but for the pickup option, I just went to the store I chose around 30mins after ordering. I had to wait maybe 5mins or so for them to get the items, but I got them in the end. I got an invoice from them in-store as well as email.

    • Duff5000 on 28/06/2012 - 17:24

      As long as it is class 6 or higher you will be fine.

  • happyheros on 28/06/2012 - 13:43

    Order the EPM1 on 20/06/2012 for pick up. Received a call from HN Martin Place to advise they have none EPM1 in stock and the wait time is likely to be at least 1 month. So called HN online to cancel the order and currently await full refund

    All in all, not a satisfactory online shopping experience with HN at this instance

    • seedshe on 28/06/2012 - 14:02

    • DavidFong on 30/06/2012 - 13:28

      Went to Harvey Norman Melbourne City today (30th June 2012).

      All the Olympus micro-4/3 cameras (including the Olympus OM-D EM-5) were listed as 25% off.
      I think some of the Sony NEX cameras were 30% off.
      The only camera I saw which was listed as 50% off was the Panasonic GF3 with twin lens kit.

      I was most interested in the Olympus OM-D EM-5, which with a 14-42 kit lens (not the 12-50 kit lens, unfortunately),
      had a sale price of about $1040.

      Really tempting, except I have only last month purchased a nice Panasonic GH1 with 14-140 mm for $700 at Melbourne Airport (last one left, I was told…). I also have plenty of micro-4/3 lenses
      and 'legacy' Pentax lenses with adapters and have no use for a 14-42 kit lense, but there was no 'sale price' for just the Olympus OM-D EM-5 body. To be fair, if you look at a website like Ted's Camera, you will find the 'body only'
      price for the EM-5 is more expensive than Ted's body+kit lens price!

The price comes down to $579 after paypal discount. plus there is also another $75 cashback from Olympus atm with my TRS credit brings the total price to $450 mark.
