With respect to Ali's woes getting the E-500 perhaps it depends as much 
on what you ordered as who you ordered it from.  Moose comments here 
that Costco has the E-500 two lens kit.  Checking B&H I see the same. 
Two lens kits are available.  One lens kits or body only are not.

Then there are xD cards.  What a silly development.  Trying to chase a 
commodity market with inferior technology.  I haven't even bothered to 
look at the specs of Oly P&S cameras because they use xD cards.  Of 
course, now I think all the other P&S cameras that had been using CF 
cards have moved on to SD cards so I still can't use my CF cards.  Ah, 
well.  The Stylue Epic still works.
