That's a damned good price. I paid US$800 for that kit at Costco when it
first came out.
The E-500 is my primary field camera, and may very likely remain so as
I've become very familiar with it. The only thing it lacks is the ability to
use a wired remote. I did recently get an E-510 and E-520 body, so maybe I'll
become equally familiar with those.
It has the same 8MP Kodak KAF-8300CE CCD sensor as the E-300. The E-510
and E-520 have 10M MOS sensors. Wikipedia has a nice page on the E-500:
