Lucky fellow. Jeff will have to update the comment that 'whichever  
you choose you'll get a 14-45mm' as this half-weight lens will be the  
base unit, I suspect.
Just to add to the reputation of Olympus Oz which has been the  
subject of such discussion here, they haven't changed. The E-500 kit  
arrived by courier stapled into a small, fancy shopping bag without  
instructions or software, just to make things tough. I was archly  
informed that this was because it was a pre-production unit. Wonder  
why it had a warranty card in there then? Very unprofessional. Should  
I tell them that I mounted a couple of OM lenses on it - i might void  
the pre-production warranty!
