Are you folks aware of the Washington Post's digicam promo (see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/shopping/)? You can get the Oly 2020 for $485 (lower if more buyers order by 3 PM Thursday, 4/20) and free shipping ($10 for 2nd day). You go to http://www.slickdeals.net/#443 and click on code "cworks" which takes you to mobshop.com, a buying group and click on "buy it" and follow through to the end of the order and put the cworks code in the promo code box, then click to recalculate price and you get the $484.76 deal. You can also access the code through dealnews.com or the washingpost site. Only 20 some buyers to go and the price drops to $476.

It's a great deal. I ordered last night. When the buy-cycle closes tomorror, they email everyone with the actual price, meaning if more buyers sign up after you did and the price level drops, you get the lower price.

Check it out. Many people over on this Olympus forum have already gotten these deals: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1008
