Oops....sorry about that price. It was, as you said, £579 body only, so
yours was a great buy! Last November at the photo fair in Denmark, the
introduction price for the E-400 2-lens kit was around £950 (only available
as the 2-lens kit)
Now I feel better for paying £369 for the E-1 plus 14-45 lens. Your #500 was
very well spent!
