Olympus E-500 with kit lenses 14-45mm and 40-150mm.
Olympus E-500 is extremely easy to use and it’s a good entry for beginners, also easily to understand the features of this solid camera. I've taken a lot of pictures and they look great and nice vibrant color. If you are newbies and interested to take up photography as your hobby, I advised and recommend you to buy this stuff. Cheap and you can just go hunting with your friends, to shoot good pictures and post in the clubsnap. The Olympus E-500 has several advantages including a unique anti-dust system which actually shakes tiny particles from the sensor's filter every time the camera powers-up. In addition to this it boasts a large, detailed 2.5in monitor, an impressive degree of control for a budget model and a great value twin lens bundle.
Overall, the E-500 is a solid DSLR and has a good grip, good battery life, and the image quality is great. I like the 4:3 aspect of the photos, and I like the fact that the lenses and body are interchangeable with other brands, although currently only Olympus.

I bought this second hand len in one of the forum, but realized not very useful for landscape.
Also when shooting portrait picture, very slim bokeh and shallow DOF. compare with 50mm. f1.4. Here are some pictures using this len to shoot.
