There are a bunch of bundled packages that you can buy for this camera and I found this to be the most useful and practical bundle with Prime shipping. The most valuable addition are the two "Wasabi" brand batteries (1600mah) with in wall charger and an adapter for a 12v car lighter. When the battery is fully charged, the led light on the wall charger changes from yellow to green. The batteries claims 1600mAh (vs 1240mAh on the Sony battery) but they look identical in every dimension other than the packaging. Having the extra batteries and external charger is almost a must for this camera.
Also valuable was the 32GB SDHC UHS-I Class 10 card which gives 156 min of 1080p 60fps video (highest quality) or 3291 17M 16:9 fine JPG or 1469 20M RAW pictures. There's also the Sony LCS-CSW case which fits the camera okay and you have a little inner pocket where an extra battery can be stored with the camera or an extra SD card.
The rest of the stuff (Zeikos card reader, mini tripod, cleaning kit, cleaning cloth and screen protector) was of marginal value to me. You get two screen protectors and as another reviewer mentioned, if you use the cardboard bubble scraper, you're going to scratch the plastic screen and deem it unusable. I think that's why they give you two. You also need a very sharp scissor or cutter to make nice straight cuts. When using the small tripod, the SD card and battery slot cannot open.
At the time of my purchase, here's the breakdown of the valuables in the bundle:
Wasabi 2 batteries + charger $19.99
32GB Sony SDHC card $19.29
Sony LCS-CSW case $7.49
Zeikos 57 in 1 memory card reader $2.85
Mini tripod
5 PC. Deluxe Cleaning Kit
2 PC. Cleaning Fiber Cloth
Bower Universal Screen Protector
Prime shipping is great. I was planning on using this camera for a planned vacation the week after I bought it but rather than purchasing at a local brick and mortar store, I essentially got the extra batteries, 32GB SD card and a Sony case with the camera for the same price (actually $1.99 cheaper).
Last but not least, the camera is fantastic. The photos it takes are amazing for a point shoot but you can read about that in other reviews.
