Iteration

Just recently, Olympus Malaysia updates their website for OM-D, but still no estimated pricing published. However, 43rumors.com estimated the price as: Olympus OM-D E-M5 body only: $1000 or 1.100 Euro Olympus OM-D E-M5 with 14-42mm lens: $1100 (don’t know the price in Euro yet) Olympus OM-D E-M5 with 12-50mm lens: $1300 or 1300 Euro Checkout regularly the retail price at Olympus MY here. Terada-san said in the interview, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan will be the first countries to receive the OM-D in mid or late March. So, Malaysia should be after that. I thought if it available before Brunei 4x4 Challenge on 16-18 March , I can test the new Olympus OM-D for 4x4 action photography.

Finally, alhamdulillah.. I was confirmed to join Borneo Safari this year as 4WD-SUV.com media photographer. Good time to escape from my research work for a while. Illustration photo of Borneo Safari alike..  (Olympus E-3 + 14-42mm)  I will only bring very minimal gears consist of Olympus E-1+12-60mm, E-3+14-42mm, 70-300mm and flash. I wish that I could persuade Olympus to loan and test the new pre-production E-5 in this event.  But, it would not happen because it is too late to make a deal, also it's impossible for ordinary me to loan the camera.   Nonetheless, I still can help  to promote Olympus brand hehe..      All gears ready..
