Buy a 2nd user E10/E20? There seem to be lots of them on *that* auction
site atm (at least in Blighty) for around that sort of money.
They're only a little bit smaller than the E1 etc, have full manual
control, use ordinary flashes as well as the FLs and will depreciate a bit
less than a new camera now.
