Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Nikon Coolpix Cool Pack is a rugged carrying case with adjustable interior offering lots of pockets and places for gear. The pack comes with a set of four 28mm filters in a handy wallet that attaches to the camera strap. The filters include UV (transparent) to absorb ultraviolet rays without increase of exposure; circular polarizing (gray), which removes or reduces reflections and increases color saturation; neutral density 4 (light gray); and neutral density 8 (medium gray), both of which reduce amount of light without changing color rendition (ND4 25 percent, ND8 12.5 percent light transmission). It also comes with four rechargeable AA batteries that can be charged up to 1,000 times, ideal for digital camcorders. The battery charger offers a five-hour quick charge, with an LED indicator to display charge status.

This kit is designed to be used with Nikon's Coolpix 800, 950, and 990. The lenses and batteries are not compatible with the Coolpix 880.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...its well worth it., October 16, 2000

The quality of the bag is very good. I'm still trying to find out what each filter lense is about. And the batteries are fin but only 1200mAh, i.e. they don't pack as much electricty as Kodak's 1450mAh or others with 1600mAh. Still, I'm happy.

It's worth buying this pack just for the filters. You can buy the filters (for $70), the batteries (for about $30-$40) and a Bag (anywhere from $20-$50 for a nice one) separately, or you can pay for this full pack for much less. I recommend leaving the UV filter on at all times for a lens protector.

Only downside of the pack is the batteries are only 1200mAh. I bought a set of Kodak batteries and a charger, it's worth the extra for 1600mAh. However, it's nice to have the extra batteries for many things, so it's not worth giving this pack one less star (to me at least).

My first need after having the camera for one hour (dead batteries) was to invest in rechargeables. I also wanted to get a filter to protect the lense, and of couse I wanted to carry it around everywhere I went. If you were to purchase all of the items seperately (which you eventually would), it would cost much more than the Coolpack. It is three essential items, for a combined discounted price.
