If thinking about EPL6, saw this on the Olympus site.

Refurb 2 lens kit at 319

I bought the EM1 and 12-40 as refurb (reconditioned) and have had no trouble.

I picked up an E-PL6 new with full 1 year warranty and just the 14-42mm lens from New Egg for $249. Dont need the other lens, I really dont like changing lenses much and I already have the 4/3 40-150mm lens which I use on my E-520. Besides, I'd like to keep the E-PL6 as light as possible for balance reasons (the body is so light it's illogical to attach a heavier lens to it) so if I do get a second lens in the future it will likely be a pancake prime.

The other thing I may get in the future is a second battery, OEM Olympus batteries are best and go for around $50.

****note the E-PL6 IS is not that good so using a longer zoom on it is not that practical unless you have a tripod! The E-520 IS is MUCH better (could also be the heavier body) that's why I am using the 4/3 40-150mm lens on it.
