My local Future Shop has a Olympus E-P2 open box special for $300. I was hoping to find a used SLR body, but pickings are fairly slim. The P2 isn't a SLR, but after reading reviews it supposedly stacks up to an entry-level SLR fairly well.

Is it worth it to buy as a starter? It's like $800 new.

Keep in mind that I'm upgrading from a 6 year-old HP point-and-shoot that has quality worse than my HTC phone camera.
