of course the original colours look better, and this camera was released in 2014 and since been superseded… but if you dont mind a bit of green, this is well under that price..
Especially seeing that lens is worth $300+ new!
ordered one - none in stock to c&c so chose delivery for 9.95
Wow great price! I would highly recommend the system too (micro four thirds)
If you're looking at getting into, or testing out, interchangeable lenses then jump on this.
Out of stock
Wow. Lucky I got my order through just in time, looks like the site is down atm.
edit: I stand corrected. Site seems to be up.
working for me
"of course the original colours look better, but if you dont mind a bit of green, this is well under that price.."
nope, black is pure boring.
if this is orange or red i might get it
Thanks, got one for delivery.
Haha, this looks like my first camera.
40 years ago, an OM-1MD, never did end up buying the motor drive.
seems to be out of stock for delivery
There is stock, however the checkout process is hopeless. Took me five attempts to allow home delivery order.
Looks like you may have got lucky.
I've refreshed and tried almost everything to select delivery with no success
I am so jealous I wish I didn't have a camera so I could buy this.
Out of stock? Can't seem to get it delivered. Even when I try C&C it says sold out
Very cheap -
+1
tempted to get it, this price is a steal
Sigh anyway I got a camera already but yea good bargain for anyone who get this. :)
Anyone else having success? I can get to the shopping cart but neither delivery not click and collect are working.
Thanks Just bought one. Im going to Bali in 2 weeks time. Can I claim tax back at the airport?
purchases from a single business have to total $300 or more… so u are short $1… suggest u go and buy something to go over $300.. unless u paid for delivery?
$308.95 including Delivery I paid
Unfortunately, Delivery isn't included in the price when claiming tax back.
I looked around the store when buying and just impulse bought some headphones to get over the $300 mark.
you can still buy an additional item, can have separate invoice, as long as it totals $300
@vandelay: Can you please elaborate? If I buy another item with separated invoice would they accept it?
yes
your purchases from any single business total $300 (GST inclusive) or more. For example, if you bought items from one business - even on separate invoices - that together total $300, these items may be eligible for a tax refund under TRS

No Stock for delivery. Not sure if there's any click and collect stock. Tested a bunch of post codes and couldn't find any stock.
Already mentioned, they may have the LE kit for same price https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/222849?page=2#comment-3248…
Doesn't work sadly :(
Should I get this….???
Olympus E-M10 or Nikon 5300 ??
'Depends on what you want!'
The E-M10 has a smaller sensor (micro four-thirds) than the Nikon 5300 (APS). The 5300 has more megapixels and can be expected to perform better at higher ISOs (especially at ISO 6400). However, the E-M10 is lighter in weight, and the entire micro four-thirds system will generally have lenses which are smaller and lighter than the Nikon equivalents. This is particularly since Nikon/Canon often make their lenses for an even larger sensor (35mm), which makes the lenses heavier and larger than is necessary for an APS camera.
With the Nikon system, you can buy much larger cameras than the 5300 which use the same lens system.
With the micro four-thirds system, you can buy much smaller cameras (and some larger cameras) which use the same lens system.
If taking photos is the only thing you are doing when you carry a camera, weight might not matter. If, however, you also need to play with the children, carry lunch, and 30kg of other luggage in aeroplanes and small taxis, you might appreciate the value of a lighter and smaller camera system.
The larger sensor also has a shallower 'depth-of-field'. If you like photos where the eyes of a single person are in focus, but the some of the hairs on the same person's head is not in focus, you probably should be purchasing a 35mm sensor camera anyway. If you want a camera which takes photos where two people or more are in focus, smaller sensors with 'wide' depths-of-field are better.
The E-M10 is 'mirror-free'. This contains some subtle benefits, including smaller size, but also means you will use an electronic viewfinder EVF, just like most movie cameras. The Nikon is an SLR, which means when you use the viewfinder, the image you see has been reflected through a mirrors (more expensive SLRs will use a prism). Some people prefer prisms and mirrors, but the electronic viewfinder on the E-M10 will actually provide a larger view than any APS camera, and provides useful overlay information. In my opinion, even when using a prismed APS viewfinder, it is nowhere near as good as a modern EVF, or the prismed viewfinder on a 35mm SLR.
For example, an electronic viewfinder can show exposure compensation (brighter or darker than what the camera thinks is the right exposure) 'live', whereas on a prism/mirror viewfinder, your chosen exposure compensation is just guesswork. Of course, with experience, you might become a good guesser.
The E-M10 is not the most budget interchangeable-lens camera in the Olympus range. For example, it has twin control dials e.g. one for aperture control, and the other for exposure-compensation. The 5300 only has one control dial.
There are probably dozens of other differences. Perhaps read the camera review on a site like www.dpreview.com?
What a crap website.. Wouldn't let me check out and now it's all gone..
haha, probs wrong price
That is a ridiculous price. Good job to anyone who managed to score one!
Another great camera deal I missed out on. I'd hit myself, but whats the point if I can't capture the moment..
Bought mine for $650 a few months ago.. Sigh it's such a steal at this price
There might still be stock of Olympus OMD EM5 TLK at DS stores for $298
Cat: XG1177
Cheers for the tip, got the last one I could find near me in Victoria, display model, but seems to be fine, might need a sensor clean but other than that it seems good.
Canon PowerShot SX700 is $74.70 if anyones interested.
That's a great price!
Anyone revived a confirmation email for this? Paypal charge has been made, but I never recived any sort of confirmation the order has been received/progressed?
paid by credit card, received an order acknowledgement And order number
I want to give this a negative, not because it's a bad deal, but I think it's probably the best way for it to fall off from the front page, otherwise people will keep seeing this deal and upvoting it because it's a good deal despite it being not available.
Move stores were selling these way before this deal was posted. Good chance some stores were already out of stock before this was posted. Would not be surprised if some orders get cancelled.
geez how could this be so cheap!!??
Has anyone received the shipping confirmation? I got the order acknowledgement but so far I havent seen shipping detail
same
same here
Same
I've just had a call from Justin at Dick Smith. There is no stock and my order has been cancelled.
holy… it does not sound good. I hope my one went through
Anyone receive any update re their order? Cancellation, shipping update, no change?
Nothing so far…they went quite lol
haha, yeah, just thinking if they in reality have no stock, I want my money back now instead of this dragging out for weeks.
I haven't received anything since the order confirmation. I have called them and spoke to someone in some country who said they are out of stock and I can either wait or get it cancelled. I said I'd wait and asked for an ETA. After explaining what ETA meant, they said they dont know.
I got the same answer lol. I said I will wait but doubt they will back order.
They were a limited edition. No longer in production.
Looks like someone in SA managed to get one :)
