I don't have time to increase my photography status from Noob to anything higher.

I want a quality camera. I don't want to spend more than $600.

I can't speak for the actual quality of the camera or the lenses as I haven't used one, but it looks like it could be a good deal just based on the value of the lenses themselves. The 14-42 lens is $250 new by itself (at Amazon and Adorama) and the 40-150mm lens is $120 at Amazon ($130 at Newegg and $200 at Adorama).

It's a good camera but the viewfinder is so damn tiny. Before you go ahead and buy it, I suggest you take a look at the viewfidner.
