that price maybe was true before it came out. as the first price was 540 something when it came out.
this is still the best price around as it's 40 pounds or so cheaper subject to warranty etc, so the choice is yours.
i think those come from hongkong?
A little more detail here...although, interestingly, it's still showing as £399 on the Olympus UK website.
No vote cast.

Might be painfully slow for one photographer out of 100. 99 others will not even notice , like me and I have this and the zoom lens kit for £380 and I have found no problem with autofocus. Considering that every buyer has about 10-20 key personal choice criteria there is not one camera that has all the criteria met unless one spends £800+.
Really...I don't see it.
"The Four Thirds system used a 4:3 image aspect ratio, in common with other compact digital cameras but unlike APS-C or full-frame DSLRs which usually adhere to the 3:2 aspect ratio of the traditional 35 mm format. Thus "The Four Thirds refers to both the size of the imager and the aspect ratio of the sensor".[4] Note that actual size of the chip is considerably less than 4/3 of an inch, the length of the diagonal being only 22.5 mm."

this and most micro four thirds cameras will shoot in 16:9 and 3:2
Aspect Ratio 4:3(Default), 3:2, 16:9, 6:6
"The 2009 MFT camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 extends the aspect ratio capabilities to native 16:9 and 3:2 image formats, by incorporating a bigger sensor matrix that uses the full diagonal of the image circle in all three formats. This is called multiaspect capability."
There is a firmware update that improves the autofocus speed. Maybe the version you tried was on the original firmware? I haven't tried one myself so it is possible it is still comparitively slow with the new firmware, just passing it on for info
