Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This package, "by Digital" was purchased early as a Christmas gift. My husband found it early though and I asked him to inspect it. The Nikon items(manufacturers supplied accessories)seemed to be in acceptable condition and work accordingly, EXCEPT for the missing Nikon Charger. In theory this would be a good package if you don't mind off-branded items.
PROBLEMS WITH INCLUDED ITEMS:
-The flash included was not an I-TTL flash,it was a generic 'slave flash' and despite original packaging was rusted, mis-assembled and not functioning
-The wide angle and telephoto lenses included are screw mount which means you need an adapter to even use them. The adapter of course is not included in this package.
-The cleaning kit was a disposable bottle of liquid(no info),4 q-tips and cotton pad. No brush or dust blower/air jet
-Special solution from the 'cleaning kit' had thoroughly spilled and soiled the entire kit with a milky substance.
-Screen Protectors are relatively thick and hazy so details/focus accuracy are masked, but they protect.
-Mini Table Top Tripod could maybe hold/pose a pocket point and shoot camera, but not any DSLR, or even the lens.
-The filters and batteries have not been tested yet.
-Aside from the Nikon manual, no items included instructions, intent, care, specifics, or information of any kind.
MISSING ITEMS:
-Off Camera Flash Shoe Cord
-Remote Shutter Release Control
-Micro Fiber Cleaning Cloth
-MH-23 Nikon Battery Charger
-Dedicated I-TTL Digital Flash
I am writing this information as soon as I found out, so I have not had a chance to price the items individually and see if this package was priced competitively or not, but keep in mind the additional accessories are Zeikos and Digital Concepts.
***UPDATE***15Dec2010
All errors were finally corrected. In hindsight, this kit is ok for a beginner who wants extras and won't recognize quality. The seller is probably best used for individual item sales. All non-Nikon branded items are ideal for hobbyist or training/practice.
