Enjoy!

I spotted this one too. Gutted as I have just bought a nikon d40 off ebay!

Sui_Generis

Fantastic price and it has the superior 14-42 lens.

Sainsburys Tewekesbury Road, Gloucester has one left; a little too far for me to go.:mad:

Phoned my 2 local Sainsburys and the staff were not much use (they were very helpful but not too competant) and neither appeared to have it in stock. If anyone sees one within 25 miles of Southend please PM me.

Cheers.

isnt there only 3 focal points on this DSLR? you may as well save your money and get one with at least 5-7 AF points, otherwise you will be taking photographs with about as much focal skill as a compact digital camera.

Good price though, but wouldnt like to pay full whack for it.

There's a lot more to a DSLR than the number of AF points it has! A lot of the time you're much better off using manual focus anyway.

This is a great camera at a great price, not quite as good as the previous PC World offer, but there's still nothing that can compete in this price range.

I was able to get the E410 in the Earlier PC world Offer at the start of the year.... it's a great peice of kit ....

Regarding Focal points (I agree with toyboy), the main idea of a DSLR is that you get "creative" with your photography by using the numerous manual/override features (focus, shutter delay etc etc) ....

.... numerous auto/focal points is a feature thats more releveant to point-and-shoot cameras, it helps great better "auto-focused" images, without having to take time to worry about "setting up the image/camera" .... I've a Panasonic Lumix too, it's a great camera, has numerous automatic features (inc focal points) and takes fantastic images - but overiding settings to get that "special, creative shot" is not really an option ....

IMHO - For me - it's the Lumix, when I want a good, easy shot (but not too creative), and for special/creative shots, taking more time/hassle - its the E410 ....

On jessops the lens alone is £169. So if you have a olympus already it is a great price for a lens and you get a spare body
