This is the kit I saw in the store yesterday.

Info is from the Costco.com website this morning.  In-store prices may 
be a bit more, but not much.  Usually with shipping the prices are 
about the same as in store.

Could be a more reasonable cost way to break into 4/3 with your R 
lens(es).

Olympus EVOLT
E-500 8MP
Digital SLR 2.5"
40-150 & 14-45mm Lens
Compatible with Zuiko
Digital Lenses
Battery & Charger
$654.99
Item # 164614
Shipping & Handling: $11.37 *

Costco also sells a short selection of LUMIX digicams at competitive 
prices.  The department managers says they do "very well" with LUMIX at 
Costco.

I get the same story on LUMIX sales from Best Buy, Circuit City and 
CompUSA.  Folks like the Leica cachet on the LUMIX cameras.
