Olympus USA has sent us pricing for the entire E-1 D-SLR system, the new pricing includes approximate street prices. Olympus expect the E-1 body to have a street price of $1799, the 14-54 mm lens a street price of $499. That's a total starter price of $2298 before Kit discounts and Taxes which is more in line with the Kit pricing we recently announced for the UK. On average street prices appear to be approximately 20% lower than the MSRP.
