    I could have put this in the Bargin Alerts thread but it seems more apt here. I was in Currys in the Jervis Shopping Centre and saw that they had the Olympus e420 for €349.97 (lens included) which I thought was an excellent price for a DSLR. They had it marked as a clearance item. I then checked Pixmania and they were even cheaper at €279 (don't think lens is included). Whether you like it or not that's an excellent price for a DSLR:

    That's a superb price for a cracking little camera, if that comes with the 14-42 lens as well it's a great deal.

    That's some bargain. A great camera, according to owners and reviewers.

    it is a great little camera, I had the e510.
