I think we best not compare the deals in US from what we get here. Unless ure a frequent flier to the country, I doubt no matter how good the deal is, that we can benefit from it.

At least Olympus Malaysia is still offering some deal via pre order. Imagine if Malaysia didn't have pre order offer at all! Gulp. Hahaha




In any case, now that the pre order is closed, anyone interested in listing their names down in a pre order list. Would be interesting to see who from the pre order list gets it first and also how fast we got it. Best to list the last two digits ur order list too, I believe that's according to order sequence ie, if u r -010, u may b the 10th person to order from the pre order.



Let me be the first for starters.


Sioe
Order: Silver body + Black kit lens 12-50mm
Booking Number -025

Unlikely to come sealed. As far as I can remember, only Panasonic has the seal sticker while Olymus doesn't. Most dealers will claim they have to open to check items and a warranty add so it's very hard to argue. Best if u know the shop u buy ur em5 from well.

----------------------------------------------------------

So for the Pre Order, we have:

Hellfire8888
Order: Silver body + Black kit lens 12-50mm
Booking Number -074

-looking from the numbers, I think the pre order might have reached around 100 units.
-waiting for sandaniel to update his order
-anyone else?

20th April?!?!?!

No no. That cant do. I need the camera wayyyyyyyy earlier

That is a MONSTER of a burger!

BTW, jloi, did u pre order the OM-D EM-5?

Hahaha. I don't know about that, but the first bugs of the EM-5 have emerged...

Hope our units won't b affected by it.

OIC. But no one really knows when stock will arrive on our shores... Haihzzzzzzzzz

Let's hope next week bears great news for us.

To all OM-D EM-5 pre-orders, I just received this email from Olympus MY.

"We are sorry to inform you that the shipment for the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Silver Kit has been delayed. It will arrive beginning of May and you will receive by 11th May 2012."

Anyone else got it? They gave me a choice.
- wait until next month
- take the Black unit (no delay)
- cancel and they will refund the rm200 deposit

I m very very very sad... Sniffs.

I now just wonder if this is a global shortage of Silver body thus delaying the stock to MY or does it only affect the pre order.

If it only affects pre order, that would mean shops will be selling the Silver wayyyy earlier before we get the camera. Our pre order will become post-order....

Sigh

D@odao,

Could u b kind enough to contact YL n ask them if they r able to get their own stock forthe Silver body earlier than the pre order? If they can, I think most of us will cancel n get from them.

Truly agree with u. That's what I stated. If its a general shortage of stock to Olympus MY, then all will be delayed but if YL r able to get the stocks, this means the delay is only affecting the pre order units. Very unlikely as u stated but good if we could get some confirmation.

Adoi, calm down clam down. Dun tension until like that.

Me? Definitely wait la. Cannot tahan balck body with my silver 45mm. =/

I think if accept delay, there's nothing to inform Olympus.

What they reply u? Did they explain y such a delay n y only Malaysia?

I got a reply fr them too. Looks like its a global shortage of Silver body as they claims shipment to Malaysia is delayed in general, not only pre order. Means shops will not get them anytime soon too.

Guess most will wait.

Wah! Smone getting his OM-D next week don't forget to post pics!

hahahaha... that much of a difference ka? Black looks damn sexy n slick while Silver keeps the retro look and the Nippon style. =)
