Subject: [OM] Re: cameta deals
Just collected my Cameta package - Exactly the same deal as Steve: Body
appears to be new - 14-45 "Reconditioned" - 40-150 "Factory Demo". No idea
if any of it works - battery charging :-)
A couple of people were wondering if the deal would look good once HM
Customs & Excise got hold of it:
Basic price $779.95 + $90.00 postage & insurance = $869.95 (£492.64)
Charges - VAT £87.54 + clearance £13.50 = £101.04 ($178.41)
Total = £593.68 or $1,048.36
Still comes out as less than an E-1 body alone at one well known UK web site
(Warehouse Express £649.00), could have been worse. Battery still charging
:-(

My E-1 (new in box, U.S. warranty) was $779 including "factory demo"
14-45 and 40-150 lenses, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a few
Shutterfly prints. Shipping was whatever I wanted to spend at UPS. One
lens (the long one) is actually labeled "factory demo"; the shorter lens
came in a Factory Reconditioned box.
I'm still learning what all the buttons do.... :-p
