These are Olympus "Open Box" Cameras, meaning that they have been returned to a major online retailer either as a failed delivery, cancelled order or unwanted gift. Sometimes the camera will have been used for up to 14 days and while most are perfect, we do not guarantee that it will not be scratched or marked on the plastics only - the lens however IS NOT scratched. We do not accept returns for scratched cameras.

You see, this is the problem with this type of thing. I don`t need a new camera. Nor do i have a spare £300 kicking about. But I am really interested in this.

It`s back, but in single lens kit not the twin....

As a pointer...when I bought my Nikon D50 last year (subsequently faulty and returned..) I was advused by some very knowledgable people to steer away from the Samsung DSLR and the Olympus packages....

Never tried them, so dunno if they were right or wrong but the D50 took some cracking pics but was faulty :(

Still, meant I got a Canon 300D from someone who upgraded to a 400D for a lovely price so am well happy :D

Anyone know any cheap lens and filter sellers? ;)
