Better than buying fr bns, cos u r getting a nrw set fr the same price. Mayb i shld gt the em5 set hmm...
anyone bought from Daiso b4? Good service? I am thinking of the Ep3 kit..$350..more value than bargaining in our own BnS..haha
Still see some em5 being snapped up recently on bns...
Either they dun know about this thread or just being cautious. Wanna see look and feel physical item before purchase

One advantage is that you can see and feel, and decide if u want to reject the deal. Prob with buying from overseas, is if minor defects, u may not want to return the goods. And also the way the goods are handled on the flight, u can imagine how they throw the goods around.
Took the plunge and ordered the em5 fr daiso. In immaculate condition, definitely new old stock and worth it. Hld6 came as promised. Bt then again the 1823$ kit fr local dealers is as good too considering u get the 12-40 but i don't need that. Came within 6 days of ordering. International warranty for the win!
Last week I was considering the EM 5, EM 10 and the sonya6000. After reading the reviews and the many helpful opinions available here, I have reduced it down to the EM5 because every where I read good things about it and Oly seems to always have good promotions on their lenses and cameras. Was quite settled on getting from QOO with its attractive price of about $900 but now after further reading I am even considering the EM5 elite with the 12-40 mm lens which is easily double the price of the qoo offer. That will be the ultimate splash of cash but I supposed the 12-40 mm can take excellent pictures of potraits, landscapes, street photography all in a rugged body etc.
2 questions
1.) Would 12-40 mm be reasonably good at sports photography as well ? Able to focus/track the action well? Sorry if this a noob question as all my previous cameras were fixed lens.
2.) From my research, I found the main features of the EM 5 elite as shown below. Does it give a significant improvement from the original EM5?
1. Traditional camera feel is achieved with black tetured powder coating
2. Leather-like design is used on the grip for excellent texture
3. Both main and sub-dial have been refined for improved design and operation
4. New Firmware Ver 2.0 brings support of ISO LOW (equiv ISO100) and Small AF Target to the camera
5. Bundled with the M ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO zoom
thanks for all your sharings.
1: Single AF is fast, C-AF not really. 12-40 focal length is hardly long enough for sports photography. 2: 1&2 up to u, 3 yes, 4 old EM5 can upgrade to that as well. street price (i'm bit rusty, is it 1.1/1.2K?), you can work backwards EM5 less 12-50 can be sold for perhaps 150-200? and add street price of 12-40 to see if it's worth.
The older model OMD 5 has no Single AF ? Learning lots here. thanks guys. Qoo daiso further price drop even better..
