It includes a VBG130 battery, and usually sells for less than the battery alone.

The case is okay... not especially convenient or roomy, but not bad looking. Some will like it. I just use the battery.

This kit comes with a case and battery, it is that simple. Hi Def Camcorder starter kit? Okay.... Well the battery does fit Panasonic's great new camcorder HDC-HS300! What is terrific is that the battery (VBG130) sells ALONE for 45-60 dollars. Here you get it at J&R for 39 dollars with ostensibly a free case! The case is basic but useful.

Solid case, with lots of different internal pockets to store spare batteries, small tripods etc. The best point is, it includes battery, which sells for almost the price of the whole kit. Yet the "Starting kit" product name is misleading. If you expect tripods, lens filters, card readers etc. inside - look somewhere else. Here you get only case and battery. But that's what I was looking for. Bought it from "Computer Brain" through Amazon. Insanely fast shipment - waited 1 day and I got it.

Good product to buy just to get the battery! The case looks good and it fits the camcorder, extra battery and you can even squeeze in the adapter to charge the batter!

For the price of an extra battery, I also got an exceptional carrying case. The case can hold two extra batteries and several other camera gadgets while still providing both protection and ease of access to the camera itself.

Product is perfect for the video camera. It fits snugly in the bag with padded protection.

The title is quite misleading: Hi-Definition Camcorder Starter Kit. There is nothing in this item that is needed or helps in anyway to get started. There is nothing that in any way supports or helps with high definition recording. The HD in the title is quite misleading, the box doesn't even have the words HD on it, just says Camcorder starter kit. The battery is likely the smallest you can get. The carrying looks ok but its way overpriced and doesn't look like it provides any more protection than other standard carrying cases.

bc of the geniuses at amazon, i got bedsheets and they said that it'll take up to a month or two for my replacement. WTH... i'm so pissed... at least you got a battery... i got bed sheets! :(
