Great piece of kit with a lot of high end features not found on entry level Canon or Nikons. Lovely four-thirds camera with very sharp kit lens, less than a month old, bought from official Olympus dealer so it has 24 months warranty instead of 12 on both the body and lens. It is unmarked and comes with;

- E-520 camera (fully boxed)
- 14-42mm kit lens, one of the best kit lenses available.
- Training DVD
- Weather proof bag
- 4GB compact high-speed flash card
- 2GB Olympus high-speed XD card
- Polarizing lens filter
- Macro lens filter kit
- Remote control for wireless taking of photos
- Flash diffuser

Also comes with warranty cards, receipt and all the normal boxed accessories like lens flower, shoulder strap, etc, etc. Screen protector has been fitted since day one. Fully boxed. As new, 9.5/10 condition. Both memory cards can be used at the same time.

Where other brands cut corners on the entry level DSLR cameras, Olympus doesn't. Build quality is very solid, glass enforced plastic, very good Zuiko kit lens, lot of functions and options, live view with 11 AF points, etc, etc. Check out the link below for in-depth review and video tour.

Thanks for the start, but if I'm selling I'd be looking at something quite a bit more than that. These kits cost 350 pounds without bag, memory card and filters. Mind you on eBay where they cost new around 350 those are refurbished with 90 days or 12 months warranty. Mine is as new, and has 24 months warranty plus it comes with a nice weather proof bag. If it doesn't fetch enough I will keep it as it is a lovely piece of kit.

Still got this one for sale, comes with a lot of extras, open to serious offers. Has just been serviced and cleaned by Olympus HQ in Portugal.

Can also include 2 converters rings for older lenses and some lenses to play with. This will make for a heavy package, so the postage will most likely be higher. These kits sell for 350-400 pounds new, and this one has barely been used and fully serviced a few weeks ago by Olympus HQ in Portugal. Has at-least 18 months warranty left, all receipts included.

Looking to sell as I don't use it at all. Which is a waste of this great kit.

Offers from 200 pounds please.

Recapping this great bargain:

- E-520 Camera with lens cap.
- 14-42mm kit lens with lens flower, front and back caps.
- Warranty certificates for body and lens and proof of purchase.
- Fully boxed; neck strap, CD's, training DVD, manuals, etc, etc...
- USB and Video out cables.
- Charger + lead.
- 4GB CF Memory card.
- 2GB xD Memory card.
- Compact padded weather proof bag with shoulder strap.
- Flash diffuser.
- Remote control.

Some pictures, high-res available on request:







If you want my old school lenses + adapter rings + filters and some other stuff you have to pay a bit extra for the postage as the glass is heavy.

BIN @ 300 ONO.

I got an offer for 250 pounds, collection from my home. Any advances? I will sell it if nobody offers any more here, it is a great bargain considering all the extras and condition.
