The Tamrac Express Pack 8 is awesome - not only is there plenty of room for my Canon Rebel Ti1 but LOADS of misc storage space. I have been getting plenty of use out of this one!

The Tripod is great as well, very handy!!

Tje Accessory Kit is cheap - gets lint all over my lens - not ideal.

The camera bag kit was a good purchase for me. All the reviews that I read before the purchase were right on target. I use the bag for my Nikon D60. It is a well made bag, but it is on the small side. If you are using it with the D60 (or similar sized camera) with the included 18-50mm and the 55-200mm lenses then everything should fit well. If you begin to carry more lenses and accessories, you may begin to run short on room. The bottom half is good for camera and lenses and the top zipper pouches are good for chargers, cleaning kits, and other accessories. The side pouches are about the size of a spare battery or cell phone. I have used the bag in a marine (boating) environment and found that it repels small amounts of water similar to light rain. With that in mind, I gave it a few treatments of spray water repellent. I have since bought a larger bag to keep my entire camera 'set-up' in one location, but still use this Tamrac bag for weekends when I will only need the camera and a lens or two.

The tripod is.....a tripod. It holds the camera just fine and feels secure. It is light and sets up quickly. It has a quick-release shoe which I find nice. I can remove the shoe and attach it to the camera. Now I can shoot by hand normally and when I want to get in on the shot, the camera snaps right into the tripod.

The cleaning kit looks fine, although I have yet to use the supplies. I have instead been using a Nikon lens pen with a brush on one end and a small buffing pad on the other. I highly recommend this pen for quick dust wipes or the quick removal of a water spot or fingerprint.

Backpack camera bag is working great. My Canon XTI, strobe, regular lens and zoom lens fit snugly, but nicely. It leaves me with some great additional space for some personal items. The bag seemed to be the same price everywhere, so getting the tripod and cleaning kit added value for the same price.
