I was astonished to see a price of $1189 for an E-20; when B&H price on inquiry was $600 more. Is A&M credible?

Patrick G. Whittingham,
Well, $400 for a 256MB CF card is a LITTLE high. I would imagine they basically force you into buying accessories and if you do not, they claim the E-20 is not in stock.
Email them and ask if it's a E-20N or a E-20P. And ask them if it's in stock.

Patrick,
Be careful about that 'Is it in stock' question. They will tell you it is and then later when the camera doesn't arrive and you call them about it, they'll tell you their computer has been down or some other lame excuse. You'll be lucky to get your camera at all. I went through this with another vendor and finally cancelled the order which is what they wanted me to do, I think, cause they didn't want to sell it at the price they had quoted without lots of over priced accessories which I refused to buy!

Be careful with these guys. I bought a full-warranty US E-10 and some accessories from that came quickly and with no hassles, but they admitted they WOULD have sent me a grey market camera if I hadn't asked them point-blank and told them I would not accept it. If you buy, use credit card protection and be prepared to assert yourself.

I sent this to them early this morning and included is the reply:

Hi,
Is the E-20 you are selling for $1189 the E-20N or the E-20P? And are they in stock?
Thanks,
Jason

If they can't answer a few easy questions via email, they are fraudulent.
I get'em every time.
I wonder what they would say if I called and told them I was recording the conversation...hmmm

I think broadway photo has the E-20 for $1204 and they got better reviews than A&M

Jason:
Another question would have been if all accessores included in a E20N as per Olympus are included in the box.
I'm quite sure that if you would have said that you were recording the conversation you would have been promptly hung up on.

bwayphoto.com has a better reputation than A&M?

Seems to me you would need nerves of steel to order from these companies.

No it isn't very good, but better than A&M You really need to already know what you want and keep in constant watch of your order.

blang,
You are probably right.
They probably hold, for ransom, the SM card, camera strap, 3 Manuals (EN, FR, SP) PS cd, USB cable, and box, for only an extra $700.
btw, I heard these goatnards are Broadway Photo as well. Just like Discovery Cameras and Express Cameras are first cousins who do each other on a regular basis. Ewww.
Time to update my website...

As I implied before, your success with these guys may depend on how assertive you are, or as someone mentioned, whether you have "nerves of steel". I got the complete E-10 kit last March for a good price, including everything that was supposed to be included, US warranty, etc. But I went down the list with the guy, a, b, c, and verified everything that would come and the exact price. And yes, they knew I was recording the call(s). I was also prepared to return the entire order and let American Express handle it if necessary, and let them know it ahead of time. I would FAR rather buy from a local dealer, but there was not an E-10 to be had within 100 miles at the time that I could find.

I talked to them by the phone.... This price is for the gray market not the US model,,,, means no warranty
