Purchased "another" 2nd camera - to my E-PL5

I can't believe I now have 3 Olympus cameras...... I usually don't go beyond two.

Just to say at the beginning - this is just one of those "new camera excitement" posts. I just wanted to share with people who mostly can relate to that great feeling.

My main camera is the E-M5 which I purchased with a retirement gift last year. It's one of my all time favorite cameras. Then a few months ago I purchased the E-PL5 for my 2nd camera after selling the E-P3.

I had wanted to get the XZ-2 for my 2nd camera as I had owned the XZ-1 a few years ago and really liked it. However, I felt the $600 was better spent on the E-PL5.

Then a couple of days ago I noticed there was a new XZ-2 for $329 from an Amazon 3rd party dealer. I couldn't believe the price, and because I've wanted this camera ever since it came out, I couldn't resist - and bought it. This camera easily fits in my purse, and will work for me as an every-day carry-with-me camera.

I'm quite happy with all 3 cameras - and I think I can manage to put them all to good use!

And I thought I would post the link to the XZ-2 for $329. There is one left. BTW, I did my homework and researched the 3rd party dealer "Product Fulfillment." They only have 21 ratings/comments on Amazon - all 5 star. I could not find any negative info doing a google search. I then called them and asked why their prices are so cheap (they had the E-PM2's for $299). I found their customer service excellent. The person I spoke with told me they had been getting quite a few calls with the same question. She explained that in September, October and February when they usually expect new stock, they clean out their "old" stock by dropping the prices to give their customers some good deals. They don't have a lot of cameras, but I was "sold" after speaking with this person.

One thing to note regarding return policy. I believe it's 10 days for any defective cameras to return for replacement, refund, whatever. You have 30 days if you "change your mind" but camera is ok - but they charge 10% restocking fee. HOWEVER, I figured at $329 I could afford to pay $33 to return it. At any rate, that's a personal choice. She was honest - and to me that is good customer service.

If anyone is interested here is the link to the XZ-2 - one left in stock. I had posted this link in the Oly compact forum yesterday - I just checked and the camera is still there.
