    Argos have this listed at about 460 or so but if you type the number into the catalogue checker it comes up at €359.99. COuld be a mistake but a fantastic bargain if it's not!


    It's actually even cheaper from this site: http://photoagora.gr/olympus-e-420-kit-14-42mm.html

    €305 delivered for the one lens kit

    They do have two options one with an extra lens.

    Good value camera

    In fairness to Argos a 3.x% diffrence before tax is quite fair in my opinion

    The photoagora shop in Greece was recommended by a poster in the board.ie Photography forum. I emailed them last week asking about cost of delivery to Ireland of E420 + 2 lenses. Got a prompt reply to say delivery by post would be E20, by courier would be E45. In both cases they said delivery would be about 5 days.

    I'm thinking of ordering from them but will seek more info on pros and cons of delivery methods. If each is equally safe it would seem a no-brainer to go for postal.

    The twin lense one here seems to be good value too working out at around €405 inc. delivery. Hmmm.....even still, not sure if I want to spend that much though
