cheapest e-620

I'm looking to upgrade to the e-620 and would be greatful if anyone could tell me the cheapest place to buy from. I have the e-420 so only need the new body but would consider buying with lens if cheap enough. Is it worth buying from the states or would the postage bump up the cost?

Cheers Paul,

cheapest e-620

I checked the site and the place with the cheapest price was out of stock so if they e-mail me soon to let me know it's re-stocked then then they can have my money.

I am considering a 620 as an upgrade from my 410
Is THIS to good to be true and avoided.

Looks like a decent price - not ridiculously underpriced, quite fair really. The 620 has been around for 18 months or so and prices fall.

@alfbranch. I would advise caution. If you look up the customer feedback for this supplier you will find a significant number of people complaining that goods are actually grey imports from the USA, fitted with US plugs etc. Note also in the small print that all you get is a 90 day seller's guarantee.

Respected UK stores are selling the twin lens kit keenly at around £570, so £420 is very cheap. You know the old saying - if it seems too good to be true it probably is. It depends how keen you are to take a risk.

I recently (6 months ago) upgraded to an e-620 from the e-410. I paid £430 for the body only as already had lenses. I used [URL="http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/cat21.html"] the price does not seem to have changed for a while.
