Someone had reported on a Oly camera forum I frequent, that a new body being introduced by Olympus, the E-520 with a 14-42 kit lens for 522.99 and that includes shipping. This was through Amazon and Buy Dot com. B&H greatly reduced their price as did J&R. They have now all corrected their prices.
As it turns out it was a mistake. This kit would normally be $699.99 with the body only at $599.99.
I ordered on Friday with all the confirmation emails received and got confirmation a little while ago that the camera had shipped at the $522 price! I can sell the kit lens all day long for $100-125!
Needless to say, I'm a happy camper and will have an E-500 for sale soon with the kit lens.
