4.0 out of 5 stars great camera but you need an extreme memory card for winter shots, January 2, 2008

This review is from: Olympus E-3 Digital SLR Camera with 12-60mm Zuiko Digital ED f/2.8-4.0 SWD Lens + 4GB CF Card + BLM-1 Battery + Case + Cameta Bonus Accessory Kit (Electronics)

The combo of the E-3 with the 12-60 SWD lens is amazing. I have found the camera easy to use and learn but there is a whole lot more to explore. I can't wait to get the 200mm SWD lens that will pull the distant mountain range into my kitchen window. The reason that I rated the "kit" at 4 stars is that the included card was not sufficient for my use as I need an "extreme" card to take out into the cold weather. The kit was a good deal but I wasn't aware of the need for a special card to shoot in the cold weather--my bad--not that of the vendor--this was the best deal out there at the time I bought my camera. One final commment: There is nothing special about the bag but it was big enough to hold the E-3, e-401 and three lenses plus enough spare batteries and chargers to give TSA a heart attack the next time I fly (see the new TSA rules about batteries effective on Jan 1, 2008).
