Ordered this bundle on Monday, received it on Friday of the same week... it's a GREAT package! It came with our gorgeous red handy-dandy FS200 (which included a battery, wall adapter, connectors), a camera case, a table-top tripod, a fuller-size tripod, LCD screen protectors and lens cleaning kit, an SDHC card (8GB), a memory card wallet (3 clots, blank labels for each, and a mini-carbiner to hook it onto stuff), an additional battery with charger (INCLUDING a car charger adapter AND a European plug adapter), wrist strap... and I think that's it. But this bundle lets you start shooting as soon as you get it.

The FS200 is, upon receiving it, exactly what we were looking for in a camcorder that could also take digital stills. The 3 modes: Dual Shot (where you can shoot video and then just hit a button for a quick still), Still Photo, and Video - all are awesome modes as you can either go fully auto-everything or fine-tune the specifications for either video or camera. It's a light little camera, the lens automatically closes when you shut off, and I love it already! It'll be awesome for what we wanted it for - documenting family events and our kids growing up. A great investment, and far cheaper then anywhere we could have gotten it in person!

The camcorder's audio malfunctioned. Whenever recording there was an unusual background noise like a rattle or an old movie projector running. I played it for a Canon support representative who recommended that I send it to the factory. I did, but it came back with the same problem.

I received 2 Canon batteries, one with the same exact number recommended in manual, the other with a slightly different number. Both batteries seemed to work fine but the second one produced a "warning" advice. I sent this battery to Canon factory and they advised not to use it. However, after they "returned the camcorder to factory specifications" the other battery that had no warning signs and was the exact battery recommended in the manual now displayed a "warning" advice. At this point I returned the product to the seller for a full refund.

This review was also submitted to Consumer Reports and it can be read there. I sent a strong complaint letter detailing all my troubles with this product to Canon factory and received a non-substantive reply, saying they are sorry for the inconvenience.
