I already have filters, bags, and access to extra lenses if need be.. not worried about any costs outside of the kit. my prior digital camera's ccd died on me, so I'm slightly hesitant about Nikons.. typically shoot with a standard SLR, and wouldn't have it otherwise. fixed lens prosumer models don't allow me to do much.
I found this deal which unfortunately expired but looking for similar value.. I'm hoping Dell offers discounts or rebates on BF.. (Olympus Evolt 8MP with lens for $634)
