If you are looking for a good deal on a mirror less camera
The Samsung NX100 is selling for under $400, and the Olympus EPL1 can be found around the same price. The Samsung has a bigger sensor, but lacks finder and flash.

1. Bought my EPL-1 for $369 + shipping.
Go for the Oly, the glass is as good as it gets in kit lenses.

3. Picked up my Olympus EPL-2 yesterday
Also got M adapter, FD adapter, and EOS adapter. Going to country fair to take it on its 'maiden voyage'. My fave local camera store broke up a kit with a telephoto that I really didn't want.

I 'settled' for an Exakta with Schneider and Zeiss lenses in lieu of getting the Horizon Perfekt. Got the entire setup for a fraction of the cost of the Horizon. I now have an excellent fully manual 35mm camera. I'm always amazed how cameras like the old german exakta's are being sold for next to nothing. Even the lenses, though manual, will blow away many current AF lenses for pennies on the dollar.
:shrug:

Olympus should pay you a commission. If I can produce images even close to what you've been doing I'll be a happy camper. :P
