I was hoping for a $300 camera......

The reality.....( List prices)

Pricing in the USA
E-P1 Body +14-42m lens - $799.99
E-P1 Body + 17mm lens w/ OVF (Optical view finder) - $899.99
E-P1 Body only - $749.99 
ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 M.Zuiko Zoom - $299.99 
17mm f2.8 M.Zuiko Lens - $299.99 
VF-1 Optical Viewfinder (17m) - $99.99 
FL-14 flash - $199.99 (99.99 with instant rebate)
There will be a $100.00 instant in-store rebate offered on the FL-14 through
September 09 which instantly drops the price to $99.99 at the time of
purchase. 
MMF-1 Four thirds Adapter - $179.99
MF-2 OM Lens Adapter - $169.99

It is a $1100 + another $100 for the Leica M adapter, so we are talking
about a $1200 solution.....

I would rather get a $2400 M8 Demo camera.... which I almost bought last
month......

Another bubble burst.
