OM-D Free grip launch offer

London, February 8 2012 - The OM-D melds the best of the Micro Four Thirds system’s size and performance benefits and best of all it is two cameras in one: a sensible size and weight you will want to carry, just like the original OM; then a mean looking business-sized camera via the addition of a two-part grip and battery pack.

Stop Press – Free Grip Offer
In a nod to the 40th anniversary of the original OM, we are offering customers who pre-order the chance to claim the ingenious two part grip and battery pack free! Talk to your local Olympus Pen Elite Centre, Warehouse Express, Amazon, Dixons Black Stores and selected Jessops. Pre-order the camera and we will ship the grip to you on delivery of the camera.

See the OM-D first at Focus on Imaging or find out more at www.olympus.co.uk

The OM-D is available from April 2012 as a kit with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm 1:3.5-6.3 for £1149.99. Body only price to be confirmed.

Quote: Mark Thackara, National Marketing Manager, Olympus UK.

“The dual grip and battery pack are an integral part of giving the OM-D that extra appeal. We did not want to lose the ideal of the OM – that is it powerful yet portable. At the same time many users like the extra grip for balance, portraits and simple looks. Now we are offering the best of both worlds as we plan give the grip set free for everyone who pre-orders the OM-D. OM is back.”
