Olympus
UK has today confirmed that the body only list price of the E-1 digital
SLR (including 17.5% VAT) will be £1699.99. This means that at least
initially the E-1 will be approximately £200 more than a Nikon D100
and £450 more than a Canon EOS-10D. Assuming the E-1's street price
drops once the immediate rush is over we could see it matching the D100
at £1499 (inc. VAT). In my opinion this price is simply too high
for a new SLR system. We still don't have official pricing for lenses
or accessories.
