e620 prices in Malaysia at PC Fair

[achanth]

Hi, Just tried the e620 at the PC Fair in Malaysia. The prices are as follows: (inclusive of all taxes):

Body only= RM 2599 (S$1105, at 1$=2.35RM)
+14-42mm lens=RM2999 (S$1276)
+14-42mm +40-150mm lenses=RM3599 (S$1531)
comes with bag or back pack if two lenses are bought in package.

For comparison,
e30+14-54mm II lens=RM5699 (S$2425)
e30+12-60mm lens=RM6899 (S$2935)

e3=RM4699 (S$1999)

G1+std lens =RM2999 ($1276, more expensive than Singapore).

All the above comes with portable hard disk, CF (2 or 4GB), flash light, micro fibre cloth and lanyard. Larger systems (e3) comes with back pack as well.

I think the prices will be similar in Singapore without the freebies unless there is a pc fair as well. PC fair in KL until Sunday April 12. However, not as many people as in Singapore. All camera companies are here: Canon, Olympus, Sony, Panasonic.

Lens prices are slightly lower than Singapore:
Zuiko 12-60mm swd =RM3549 (S$1510)
50-200mm swd=RM4099(S$1744)
14-54mm MkII=RM1999 (S$850)

handling:
size almost like e420, but better performance as it has specifications almost of the e30, but with 7 point focus. I like the light weight.

can't wait... but it's still cheaper though in amazon.com... 2 lens kit sells for 899.99usd, which would cost bout 1359 in sing dollars, still 200 dollar cheaper, shipping is free... but you have to wait 3-4 weeks... hope it'd be cheaper when it gets here in singapore... thanks for the info bout the prices there!
