The quality of the bag is very good. I'm still trying to find out what each filter lense is about. And the batteries are fin but only 1200mAh, i.e. they don't pack as much electricty as Kodak's 1450mAh or others with 1600mAh. Still, I'm happy.

It's worth buying this pack just for the filters. You can buy the filters (for $70), the batteries (for about $30-$40) and a Bag (anywhere from $20-$50 for a nice one) separately, or you can pay for this full pack for much less. I recommend leaving the UV filter on at all times for a lens protector.

Only downside of the pack is the batteries are only 1200mAh. I bought a set of Kodak batteries and a charger, it's worth the extra for 1600mAh. However, it's nice to have the extra batteries for many things, so it's not worth giving this pack one less star (to me at least).

My first need after having the camera for one hour (dead batteries) was to invest in rechargeables. I also wanted to get a filter to protect the lense, and of couse I wanted to carry it around everywhere I went. If you were to purchase all of the items seperately (which you eventually would), it would cost much more than the Coolpack. It is three essential items, for a combined discounted price.

I ordered my CoolPix Bag the same day I ordered my 990, the bag is extremely well made and with the expandable side pockets it holds a lot. The filters (4) make this a great buy. The only criticism I would have is the batteries and charger, but hey! at this price($100) they're practically a freebee. (Is there really such a thing?) All in all, I would have no problem recommending this purchase to anyone, it's the perfect companion for your camera and it is COOL.

This product is an excellent value! The camera bag is sturdy, yet light-weight and has lots of pockets for accessories. The rechargeable batteries and charger pack is definitely needed in the case of the Nikon Coolpix 990 given the amount of juice the flash uses. I have an extra set of batteries now and let one set charge while I use the other - very convenient! The filter pack has a nice combination of common filter choices, including the lens protector, which is extremely important. Overall, this was a great product for the price!
