Olympus Australia has just announced a “summer reward” for purchasers of certain Olympus camera kits from now until end of Jan 2017.

If your purchase is eligible, you can get a $150-200 prepaid visa card plus an Olympus travel accessories kit valued at $129.

Cameras include Olympus Pen F, E-M5 Mark II and E-M10 Mark II, but unfortunately no mention of the much anticipated E-M1 Mark II which should be becoming available in Dec 2016, at hopefully a reasonable price point, although the just announced $US2000 for the body may make it too expensive in Australia for the potential target audience who could get a full frame mirrorless or dSLR for a lower price – although these won’t have the functionality that the E-M1 II provides, they do have radio TTL remote flash, shallower DOF options and proven pro support levels – none of which the Olympus can deliver for the pro photographers.

post script: Olympus Australia have just announced the E-M1 Mark II will be $AU2799 for the body only – this will be too high for most Micro Four Thirds users I suspect.
