Thank you, nice to be back.
You are right that the price difference isn't that much but it just burns me
that I missed by a couple of days. I got a quick reply from Oly and was
told I wasn't eligible. They did offer a gadget bag, though, so at least
they are trying. Retail on the bag - $99.
Oh, and the store already priced the camera & lens combo at $1,999 w/o the
trade-in. Not like I would have brought one of my OM bodies anyway!

Welcome back!
Thomas is the list mum now, so it's good you are being nice to him!
Didn't the price change on the E-1 just continue the $300 rebate for
turning in an slr without the sham? A lot of places weren't requiring
the trade-in anyway. The old price was $1,999 for E-1 and 14-54mm lens
with the body rebate. The new price is $1,499 for the body and $449.95
for the lens after the $50 rebate for a total of $1,948.95, so the body
hasn't really changed price. On the 50-200, though, it's $100. Can you
return one or both lenses, then buy them or others again?? If you bought
from a shop, they might be willing to do the paperwork to keep a
customer happy.
