Did some work for a friend of a friend last week as he was having problems due to his age and we got talking as you do and it turns out he had been a keen photographer for many years so it was good talking to him about the subject. I was doing the work (a bit of light building/decorating) for a favor to help a mate and to have something to do while I'm looking for work so was expecting nothing more than a few cup's of tea and a Chocolate Hob Nob as reward for my help. When we finished the home owner gave me a box and said that he has not used this camera much since he got it but to say thank you he thought i would like it. I said my thanks thinking it was a few old bits and was GOBSMAKED when I got home and opened the box. It was a nice little used Olympus E-P1!!! It was complete and had taken less than 30 images!!!!
I phoned my mate and he said that the home owner bought it as his eye sight was failing and being elderly he wanted an easy camera to use. After he used it for a bit he just kinda gave up and put it away. I made sure the chap got the message of thanks and to make sure it was OK and he insisted it was.
The Camera is MINT!! and it all works. I don't know how old it is but i expect it's an early one. I updated the firmware and all is good! Having owned one before i know how good they are and i love the styling big time!
It's nice to know there are some good people out there!
