3.0 out of 5 stars Your mileage may vary. July 2, 2011

This package was going for around $760-780 range at the the time of purchase. The items pictured are not brand specific, so I wasn't expecting top of the line stuff, but what I got was substantially less than what I was expecting.

The camera, of course, is a good product currently available around $649 anywhere. The package I received contains everything shown, but they are extremely cheap versions. For example, the bag is a $7 one looking nothing like the one pictured and with little padding of any consequence. The tripod is an $8 item and feels very flimsy. It'll do as a starter, but I don't expect it to last long. All of the other items are similar in generic cheapness.

Looking up the average price of each of the items in my particular package, I actually paid more than if I had bought the camera separately and all the items individually. Pretty disappointing and I was tempted to return it.

I'm considering it a lesson learned: unless the items in a package are clearly specified so you can verify your savings before hand, skip it.

Love the camera, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome camera; decent package for the price April 18, 2011

Camera is awesome. I've had a few issues with the memory card, but I was using my camera for about an hour outside in 30-40 degree weather. Other than that, no problems with anything. The tripod is okay, nothing special - it gets the job done. The bag is decent as well containing enough room for an extra lens, extra battery, the camera itself; it also has many zippered compartments. Overall it's a great packaged deal for the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars good camera, questionable accessories December 13, 2011

By Bob Lane

The camera and accessories seem like quite a bargain until you discover that the tripod stand is too small to use because it won't support the weight of the camera with the accessory lens included and isn't tall enough for a person of shorter stature to use. Secondly the camera bag won't hold all of the equipment purchased. You might as well buy the camera for less and buy your own accessories that work together. This bundle rates poorly.
