These are offered as a "special purchase", the usual code words for a discontinued item. Most of the comments on the subject of 4/3 cameras have been focused on the E-330 and E-300 as well as the unavailable Panasonics. DPReview stated that the E-500 was a better camera than the E-300. I've never owned a DSLR before. All I have is an early Digilux and a Canon D500, both very pocketable P&S cameras. Is the Olympus kit a good deal? Opinions? Larry Z
