how cold is the cold winter??

[Stan80]

I used my normal point and shoot camera in Switzerland around 10deg ok.
Went back to hotel, got a little condensation on lens.

My cousin is going to Finland and I google the average temperature to be about -5 degrees. From what i read from the Internet, I think can use the cams, no problem.

[ckw]

most cams should be ok as they are widely sold on Europe, unless its extreme. but Helsinki's temperature can go down to around -30 in winter from Dec-Feb, even lower in regions further North. bring extra batteries as they deplete faster in cold weather.

yup, lending her my EPL1 battery (if she buys the EPL3)
I recommended her to buy the EPL3 ($248 brand new!) against the Olympus and Fuji compact cams.

brought my cousin to Funan to buy a compact cam and then overheard the salesman telling another customer that the EM10 has got a free 45mm f1.8 lens! So, you guessed it, I bought the EM10, dont know will regret or not

[ckw]

yup...there's a promo during this 4 days of SITEX, that some retailers are also offering it. but i got mine a few months back without the 45mm, dubbed the girlfriend lens...sigh

its a very good camera, i have no regrets getting, in fact, so glad i did and loving it. its a fun camera to use. enjoy!

Good camera and good deal.

[chriscentro]

ya, the cam seems to be easy to MF even at f1.2, really like the EVF. I think I bought the cam partly because I asked for the (external) EVF4 price, it cost about $400, might as well get a cam with a built in EVF. Thinking hard to rationalise my purchase

yup...the EVF is great, fast and shows whatever settings you made, e.g. b&w, sepia...etc. its good value for money, fast AF, top of the line image processor, IBIS...etc.

for the price, there's little to dislike.

haven't got a chance to really take pictures with the EM10 but here's one using the pin hole effect.

Can share what price you paid for the EM10?

The price was $905. I didn't do any homework on the price but when i heard got free 45mm lens, i thought it must be a good deal. Free lens offer is over liao.

yup, its around there. but promo with free 45mm lens is only during SITEX over the last wkend.

the cash back promo price till end dec is till around this price, but without the free 45mm lens. there's also separate promo for 25mm & 45mm lens. check out Olympus SG website for the latest promotions.
