Olympus OM-D E-M5 pricing in Australia

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is listed at Ted's cameras for 1400AUD (with 14-42 lens). As expected the camera's price is similar to Panasonic GH2 (1500AUD in Ted's cameras). In the same shop the G3 with 14-42 lens costs 900AUD, and G2 is offered for 500AUD. 



Two points. First, now 1700AUD fro Fujifilm X-Pro1 (body only) does not look very high. The Fuji X100 for 1100AUD looks like a bargain but I am scared by sticky blades issues. The lenses for new Fuji will cost money for sure. The lenses are good, so the price is also good :) 

Second, Australian dollar is slightly above the US dollar for a long time. Price of the E-M5 with the same lens in B&His about 1100 USD. That is in sharp  contrast with Fuji cameras that cost the same in US and Australia.
