Default Excellent E510 Price Now!!!

Wow, I was appalled. Saw the E510 with single kit lens bundle going for less than S$1150 at Best Denki Vivo City. This is a damn good price IMHO. I guess it is expected since the dual lens kit is now in the $1300 range.

Those of you still thinking...now is quite a good time.

Thats a good price with so many new camera along their way to hit the SG port

Looks like DSLR would be more affordable to everyone who were planning to upgrade.

Yeah, but in-between mid-June (when the E-510 was launched here) till now, I've had 10k enjoyable shots with it. That's (S$1350-S$1150)/10000 = 2 cents per shot. Not really a bad trade-off by paying more to get a new model to start using it earlier.

The one that is (was?) S$1149 is in the glass counter beside the row of DSLRs tethered to tripod heads. The E-510 tethered for display has always been S$1399.
