[shoplink 29969 ebay][/shoplink] The E-M5 is now on [shoplink 29969 ebay]eBay Hong Kong[/shoplink].

The new Olympus E-M5 is supposed to hit the stores in Japan in three days at Amazon Japan. But the first two cameras can be already bought on [shoplink 29969 ebay]eBay Hong Kong (Click here, with international shipping)[/shoplink]. If you are not from Hong Kong please be aware that you have to pay import taxes. The Chinese website PChome (Click here for the translation) unpacked and reviewed the E-M5. As usual the google translation tool makes reading very painful but you can also look on the pictures only.
