I bought this package primarily because I needed a bag for my brother to handcarry my newly online purchased Nikon D40x and some other accessories in the aircraft from L.A. to the Philippines for me. The battery that came with it made the purchase seem even better since I was going to get a spare anyway. I found out, though, that the bag was too small to carry all my stuff: my D40x with an 18-200 VR lens on it, an extra 10-20mm lens, a flash, a hood and a spare battery. I'd bring it along if I were to abbreviate my gear and carry just the basics. However, I purchased a bigger bag a week after this one arrived.

Great deal w/ the battery! The bag seems to be just slightly larger than the camera. I use it to hold one additional lense and small flash for my dSLR. It will not hold more than 2 lenses.

I bought this kit mainly because of the battery.
The bag is okay for light accessories, a external flash light, a lens hood, and couple filters. There is definitely no space for a 2nd lens.
If you are looking for an extra battery and a compact camera bag. This is what you are looking for. However, don't expect the bag is big enough if you 've got multiple lens.

I saw this at Circuit City for $99... Amazon has it for $60.
You get a battery (Nikon brand), NICE bag (adjustable strap with shoulder pad, adjustable interior padded dividers with velcro, pockets upon pockets) and a book/guide for digital photography and using the D40 or D40x. It also has info on more Nikon products and SLR photography in general. The bag is very nice, protective, and looks classy and professional.
I would strongly recommend you get this for $60 on Amazon-- could potentially save you hundreds of dollars in the event you drop the camera by accident.
