In March I bought the Olympus D-490 in Florida. I paid $399 and paid $55 for a 32mb chip. The equivalent camera here is the Olympus D-990 and costs around £490 the 32mb chip is about £65. Massive savings by any standards. Whats more There is really no need for a bigger chip. I take 64 pics at the HQ setting - which is very good.
I am more than pleased with it and I am now selling my Canon A-1 with all the trappings.
