Theater Restoration Fundraiser ~ Plattsburgh, NY • click to embiggenActing in my role as charming arm candy, I accompanied the wife to a fundraiser last evening. The event was for a wonderful old theater in Plattsburgh that is being restored.
That said, it wasn't until that event that the wife finally noticed the addition to my camera gear collection - a new E-P2. Even though the new camera had been sitting around the house in plain sight, side by side with my E-P1, it required a scenario where both cameras were hanging on my body for her to notice it.
I purchased the E-P2 for a number reasons, not the least of which was a great price - $319.95US. That price is for a boxed brand new body with a full Olympus warranty complete with all accessories - battery charger, strap, cables, software and manual. Anyone interested in getting a great camera for an insanely low price should jump on this deal at
Cameta Camera* before they're all gone.
Obviously, the price reflects the fact that the E-P2 has been replaced by the E-P3 and I do know that Cameta buys big quantities of discontinued gear at discounted prices. Maybe when the E-P3 is replaced by the E-P4, I'll buy one of those.
FYI, I have no complaints with my E-P1. The camera has performed flawlessly and continues to do so. The E-P2 is essentially a "backup" camera although I will use it side by side with E-P1 - the E-P1 with the 20mm f1.7 and the E-P2 with the 25mm f2.8. The 25mm lens will be replaced with the 45mm f1.8 when it becomes available.
*Cameta Camera - this not an endorsement (nor do I receive any compensation from them) but I have purchased from Cameta previously and have always had good luck and service.
