Yesterday, Olympus Malaysia has finally announced the pricing and availability of the Olympus EP-2 here in Malaysia. This came about approximately 5 months after the launch of Olympus EP-1. It will hit stores early next month priced from RM3,799. The major new feature of the EP-2 is the addition of an “Electronic Accessories Port” which accepts an electronic viewfinder, one of the most requested feature for the EP-1. From it’s website, it seems EP-2 will only be available in black. What’s with the shorter life-span of gadgets these days? Is it a sign that the product was rushed? Whatever happened to having a minimum life span of 1 year before the next update? Sure, technology advances. But come on – 5 months?
A symptom of… just follow whatever the boss says.
