Comments about Olympus Olympus E-600 Digital SLR Camera, with 14mm - 42mm f3.5-5.6 & ED 40 -150mm f4.0-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lenses - Refurbished By Olympus U.S.A:
For the money, I don't know how you top this. Olympus also now has a full Image editor available for free on its website....Viewer 2. Over all, very happy!

Comments about Olympus Olympus E-600 Digital SLR Camera, with 14mm - 42mm f3.5-5.6 & ED 40 -150mm f4.0-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lenses - Refurbished By Olympus U.S.A:
The kit lenses are very good indeed. The 40-150 is especially sharp wide-open. Perhaps Olympus has shot themselves in the foot by offering such fine lenses as I feel no need to buy other lenses. I'm the typical "two lens and a camera kit"!
This may not feel like a good low-light camera but you can get very good focus speed so long as you focus on something with some contrast like the edge of an object. However, indoors I usually use the Vivitar 383 Through-The-Lens flash which gives a fantastically clean image.
As more of a documentary photographer than a portrait photographer I love the depth-of-field the 4/3 lenses give. If, however, you prefer to isolate the subject by blurring the background then you may prefer another system.
If there is one thing I could change then it would be the tiny viewfinder...it's terrible compared to any other dSLR out there. I'd pay, oh, an extra $100 just for a bigger and brighter viewfinder.
Finally, let me emphasize how nice this camera feels in your hands. You can't help but pick it up, play with the controls that move so smoothly (snick snick snick), revel in the lightning-fast responsiveness of the LCD, etc...

Bought this set for my wife, she has been using 35mm film SLR's for years. This camera made the transition to DSLR very easy and almost seamless. Sometimes she even lets me use it, all in all, a great value and a outstanding kit with the two lenses and accessories.

I wanted a small camera with great image quality. This camera has the features and IQ of a midrange dSLR. It comes with two excellent kit lenses (35mm equivalent 28mm to 300mm). I paid [$] [...] from Adorama. There is no better deal on an entry level dSLR!

Have only had it a few week but really love it. It can take a little while to learn to use but once you have it down its a great camera.

I learned photography on Nikon gear with Nikon glass. I am very pleased with the results of this camera outfit. I was not expecting much from a kit lens, but I have been very surprised. I get great color and clarity. The on camera flash works well for fill at close ranges. I am not worried about refurb gear, just buy an extended warranty.
