The Olympus E-M5 is available in a Limited Edition kit with the 17mm f1.8 non-pancake prime lens for $1400 at B&H Photo.
The Olympus E-P5 kits (body only or with 17/1.8 and VF4) now have a June 5 in-stock estimate at B&H Photo. As always, please keep in mind estimates are estimates and they may change over time.
If you are planning to place an order of $25 or more at Amazon, you can get the Olympus Water Ready Adjustable Strap for just $3. Limit three per customer.
It is important to note that this is part of the new Amazon Add-On Program. Items in the Add-On Program are typically small accessories and trinkets, often priced under $5. The twist with the Add-On Program is that you can't buy them even if you are willing to pay for shipping out of your own pocket. You can only get them if the total of your qualifying order is $25 or more. Qualifying as in physical goods sold-and-shipped or fulfilled by Amazon itself (not marketplace/3rd-party sellers).
For Add-On program items, the $25+ restriction also applies to Prime members. Some may see it as a roundabout way of restricting Prime benefits without actually taking the PR hit of announcing it. Others may argue that for $79 per year, unlimited 2-day shipping for items over $5, plus a library of streaming videos plus one e-book rental per month is still a steal if you shop often and/or watch streaming videos and/or e-read a lot.
How did we manage to turn a post about a $3 accessory into a four paragraph post? Blog filibuster reform is in order!
