I think I bought mine in 2003.  And it had a 15-30mm and a 50-500mm lens.

I showed you an image taken with my model of camera which was worth 2.5MP, not 10.  If you think it's ok to state it's a 10MP camera, because the CCD can make 10MP, but the lens can't, then you're an idiot.  Like people who sell cars that have so many horsepower, but if you try to use it, you just spin the wheels.
