Expensive, and the bag is poorly made........2007-08-21

In all, there is little to redeem the price of this kit. I only got it for the remote, and a small bag was a nice plus.

However, the bag turned out to be the least worthy part of the kit. It quickly tore around the (unnecessary) velcro on the tab. I replaced it with a bag about the same size, which cost $11 and was a little better made.

I can't in all honesty recommend this kit.

This bag is nice and compact. It is however a little small for the E-500 2 lens kit. The only way to completely fit everything in the bag is to have the body and the lens separate. This makes it somewhat inconvenient when you want to be able to just unpack the camera and go. I generally have to leave one of the lens at home or I have to take the time (and find a clean environment) to attach the lens to the body. Overall this is a great bag for a simple outing but I would not recommend it for anyone looking for a bag to carry everything.

Somewhat disappointed.......2006-06-11

I bought this kit primarily becuase I NEEDED the remote control and they are out of stock everywhere as a standalone product. (I hate remote controls!) Then too, I thought the camera bag and the extended warrantee would be nice extras.

Well, the warantee has so many conditions and requirements, that I question that I'll ever be able to meet them all if I ever need service. It requires you submit a copy of the waranty card and the waranty certificate AND the reciept for purchase. I've had my E500 2 months and I've never GOTTEN a waranty card from Olympus.

I knew the camera bag would be small! I thought well, I could use it as a 'walk around' bag not for storage. It might even be too small for that! And it feels VERY flimsy, its a $4.00 piece of junk you can buy at any discount department store.

Can anyone tell me what a microfiber cloth is for? Can you clean a lens with it? Wash your car? What's it DO?

I now know why the $29 remote control is so scarce. They can make more money selling this piece of junk 'kit' for $80 instead of the remote control for $29.

Good deal.......2007-01-10

This is a great deal for the money. Olympus must be losing money on this.

Not suitable for C-5500, despite Olympus's recommendation.......2006-01-06

This Deluxe Digital Imaging kit is featured on the Olympus website as a recommended accessory to the Olympus C-5500 digital camera. Unfortunately the camera case is much too large to be suitable for the C-5500. (The other included items are fine.)

Actually this camera case is too large for just about any point-and-shoot camera on the market. I suppose the idea is they make it big to allow room for you to pack in your accessories, but if the purpose of a camera case is to protect the camera, it doesn't help much to have it rattling around with extra batteries, cables, and card-readers.

I recommend you stay away from this kit. Go to a local store and pick out a small camera case that fits your camera.

What is actually in this package..........2003-04-17

...I took a chance that this was the same product that I saw on the Olympus web site (Olympus part number 200860) and ordered it, and it is. It contains the following items:

1 - Camera bag - this padded bag features a shoulder strap and outside zippered pocket for storage of additional cards or batteries. Width 4.5" x Height 6" x Depth 3.0"
2 - 4 AA Ni-MH (1700 mah) batteries with overnight battery charger
3 - xD/SmartMedia USB Reader/Writer
4 - CAMEDIA 4.0 Pro software

For <... this is a pretty good deal, as many places will charge more than half this amount for the NiMH batteries and charger. Additionally, since my Olympus camera didn't come with a bag, this package makes even more sense.

The USB Smartmedia reader means that I don't have to turn the camera on to read the Smartmedia cards, which will be nice.

Product Description

This kit is the perfect accompaniment for your digital camera. It includes a stylish vinyl camera case, 4 AA Ni-MH batteries with a charger, and a tripod.The case is custom designed with vinyl construction, and has a belt loop cutout for strap, SmartMedia and battery storage compartments. The long-lasting rechargeable AA nickel metal-hydride batteries will serve up to three times longer than AA alkaline batteries. NiMH batteries are also environmentally friendly, because they eliminate the need to discard regular batteries.
