Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the page and have a look at the accessories some are at half price like the grip for example, and when buying any lens you really should consider a UV filter for nothing else than to protect the front element

Because of the unprecedented pressure put on our wholesalers because of this deal from other retailers around Australia we have had to change the URL's now the only way to find this deal is the click on the deal link and the body link provided

        It doesn't help that you guys don't really reply to emails with adequate information.

        All of the replies I get are usually very short and slightly cryptic.

    Had a quick flurry of emails with the online team. They said they just received a pallet full of cameras which they will be dispatching today and tomorrow morning. Hopefully all of us get our cameras by Friday. Fingers crossed

    • cyrax83 on 08/12/2014 - 22:19

      Finally!

      • animal on 09/12/2014 - 12:27

        Yeah I'm sure we will all get our cameras by Friday but was hoping for earlier than that.

        I was supposed to receive a phone call yesterday afternoon regarding a pickup order but still nothing sigh

        I have had issues in store previously but was hoping this would be different.

    Alright Gibbs, it's crunch time. Give us those tracking numbers

    • cyrax83 on 09/12/2014 - 15:41

      Nothing yet. Getting worried these won't ship today…

      • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2014 - 16:23

        I'm hoping they're frantically shipping them today and the trackers will all be updated tonight.
        one can hope! These guys came through last time, so I think they'll do it again.

        • cyrax83 on 09/12/2014 - 16:54

          @poop: Sounds like they will be shipped tomorrow and arrive either tomorrow or Thursday. Just in time for the weekend.

          But I still don't know what's going on with my order. From their email response it sounds like they've decided to ship my order instead of me picking it up :-?

          Okay. Now my wife is going to chase it up for me. I think she is tired of me talking about it and is more keen than me to get the camera. haha :-)

        • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2014 - 19:06

        -3

        Multiple cameras as relos also want. I ordered on the day this deal was published. Only shipping partial to me and not the whole order so they can allocate the stock to satisfy orders from people who purchased after me isn't very fair.

        • tikei on 10/12/2014 - 13:02

          Lol people who ordered after me negging. As much as I want to use this camera this weekend for fireworks I'm gonna have to give it to relo instead for fear of him thinking ill of me for taking the first one. So those who neg me, please tell me, how is it fair when I was one of the first ones who paid yet I'll have to wait for perhaps another fortnight from now, disrupting my cash flow?

        • Ranekor on 11/12/2014 - 00:03

          Does the order show when you login to the website?

          My order would have arrived today but the wife just missed it by 15 mins, so hopefully get it tomorrow.

        • jpwwong on 11/12/2014 - 09:46

          @Ranekor: No it doesn't, apparently I didn't complete my online order properly so it didn't register on their systems so it doesn't show up on the website. It did however charge me for the camera.

          Probably someone smarter than me can explain but I just don't see how they can take my money and say my order was not complete.

          Sounds like trying to cover their own behind, blaming weather and systems fault.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2014 - 10:11

          @jpwwong: same thing happened to me. I had to make a new order but just not pay for it. then they matched up the payment with the order. I've ordered from this site before so I only noticed cos it wasn't appearing under my order history.
          I think there must have been a glitch early on when they were putting this deal up which caused this because I went through all the steps.

          @cyrax83: Thanks to my wife, I managed to get it yesterday!

          The guy was trying to tell her that I won't receive it until Monday even though the email said it was going to be delivered tomorrow or Thursday.

          She even had a hard time picking it up. But at least I finally have my camera.

          Unfortunately I bricked one of my Panasonic lenses (100-300mm) trying to do an update through the camera (the connection was accidentally broken between the camera and the computer). sigh

        • cyrax83 on 10/12/2014 - 12:46

          @drosair:
          Damn that sucks, were you updating the lens or body? I didn't even know lenses had firmware
          Can your pana lens be fixed?

        • meong on 10/12/2014 - 12:49

          @cyrax83:

          Body firmware update won't affect the lens. However, you can update the lens through the body. Pana and Oly have got joint firmware update setup on their updater utility.

        • animal on 10/12/2014 - 18:30

          @cyrax83: I tried to update both the body and the lens. Seems to be a common issue.

          The firmware that came with the camera body was sadly only v1.2. The latest is 2.2. Version 2.0+ has some very cool updates and is highly recommended. I think I did an update for the 12-40mm pro lens as well.

          I'd suggest doing the update and just walk away from the computer until it says OK on the screen of the camera. Don't touch anything!

          @cyrax83: Good to hear! I try to only update firmware when there is a fix/enhancement that I want. The Panasonic lens update was going improve video performance which I was looking forward to.

    I got the wrong colour one. Just remind you all to make a call to check the colour if you ordered a silver one before dispatching. I am very angry at their unfriendly customer service. I can be definitely sure I tick the box of the silver one at order. After discussing with customer service, they insist that it's not their system bug. Is it our fault? They will not compensate for the postage for exchange. Let you guys know and I still struggle to find a solution.

  • cyrax83 on 10/12/2014 - 23:25

    Noticed a couple of hot pixels on my images. The inbuilt pixel mapper fixed that right up.

    I do have one tiny green stuck pixel that is only the rear LCD screen (not on images) in the left mid, doesn't bother me enough to do something about it though

        • Relaxing265 on 11/12/2014 - 19:42

          @tikei:

          This is the email I received from them on my inquiry to confirm a silver kit

          We have confirmed that yes you have definitely received the silver.
          Interestingly we went through every single order after we became aware of this there is only seven of over 400 orders with people had actually chosen the colour of silver.
          Out of that 400 only 62 with actually chosen black everybody else has omitted to select that colour at all.
          Quite interesting when some people have not chosen the colour of the camera but having fact chosen the colour of some of the lenses that they have ordered at the same point in time there were both available in silver and black would appear that this is just a simple oversight in most cases

        • Relaxing265 on 11/12/2014 - 19:44

          @Relaxing265:

          I believe most people did select a color, but the system didn't register. I tested it out previously as my order didn't state a color even though I ticked silver so I tried placing different colours in a cart as a mock experiment. The system didn't differentiate the different colours and listed them as the same item. I then tried it on mobile and the diff colours were listed as separate items in the cart. After this I became concerned and e-mailed them, making it very clear I wanted silver and letting them know of this problem. I haven't checked if it's fixed.

        • Relaxing265 on 11/12/2014 - 22:09

  • bd9v9q on 11/12/2014 - 20:01

    out of curiosity, for those that have had their orders shipped, what time did you order on the day the deal was posted?

  • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2014 - 21:32

    Guess i'm not getting mine this weekend. Ordered 2 hours after deal was posted.

    Unfortunately the delivery that we expected on 5 December had not arrived we expected this to arrive on the eighth which did not happen having then communicated with Olympus we have discovered that they have sent the entire bulk shipment by road transport which has added another 5 to 7 days to the entire delivery process we do expect this delivery to arrive Friday the 12th to Monday the 15th goods will then be dispatched via immediate overnight priority delivery so we would expect the delivery to you in the 15th or 16th of December providing we have no further delays due to transport companies

    • jpwwong on 11/12/2014 - 22:20

      Bad luck. It seems like they are blaming everything from suppliers to transport companies to weather, but themselves.

      Really badly handled process.

    • Ranekor on 12/12/2014 - 19:44

      That sucks.

      Here's my drama with the transport company:
      Mine was sent overnight on Tuesday and my wife just missed the deliver by 15 minutes on Wednesday AND due to Star Track's incompetence I still do not have the camera! 2 days after the initial delivery attempt. Supposedly it will be here Monday now, not happy at all with their service.

      I understand why they removed the express off their name. hahahah

  • tikei on 11/12/2014 - 23:17

    It's been a stressful shopping experience but I do feel pity for the store getting all these bad rap. I guess if it's Olympus delivering the cameras with delay then they can't do much about it. The thing they can do is provide better communication and improve their online shopping system.
    Would I shop with them again? Only if they're much cheaper than other retailers, or if they resolve my wrong-colored camera in an efficient and satisfactory way.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2014 - 00:24

      Agree with you 100%. I'll continue to support them, because they offer great deals and are an aussie bricks and mortar store. But they are leaving much to be desired on the communication front. Especially raising customers hopes of delivery and giving conflicting information. We do have to commend them for upgrading delivery to priority 1 overnight service and I do hope they sort our the colour issues for you guys. IMO though, stick with the black! :P good luck guys.
