It cost less than what they are selling the G3 alone on Amazon. The 200mm was well worth it ... just check the Sacre Couer shot between the buildings.

Also, the G3 is great for those who are put off by dragging a heavy DSLR on travels. It is so light that you barely notice it. After a few hours, the heavier DSLR's start to irritate me.
