I have only ever taken pictures with my cell phone and those cardboard wind up cameras from the drugstore. I am the historian of a local club, and this camera was purchased because of that. I have been wanting to get a digital camera for some time, and was a little hesistant to make this much of an investment, but I took a chance and ended up loving it. I haven't been able to give it a real go 'round, but so far, it takes crystal clear photos (IMO, but I'm no pro, lol) and the interface, while a little confusing at first, is really easy to navigate. Believe it or not, I read the get started manual AND the Advanced manual on the disc included from beginning to end, and it's very informative. It does assume you already know what some terms mean, though, so be prepared to look outside the manual if you are a true beginner with anything but a simple point-and-shoot.
As far as the bundle, I've not tried everything out yet, but the extra battery was an awesome inclusion. I'm thinking I'll probably go through battery life fairly quickly when I pull it out for meetups. The full size tripod seems sturdy and it's easy to use. The table top tripod is super cute. The little tripod, screen protectors, swabs and lens fluid come in a little separate package (like a kit) and the lens fluid leaked all over the inside of the bag. Thank goodness everything in there was wrapped in plastic. The bottle was only half full out of the box, but I'm not all that upset by it since it didn't get out of the bag the little kit came in. The wallet is neat-o, and the memory card does the trick. The bag is just about the perfect size, but don't expect to put anything in the main compartment except the camera and strap, especially if you are going to be adding a lens hood or filters to the camera that stay on all the time. The side compartments fit the memory card reader, microfiber cloth, swabs, extra battery (while stored in the wall charger) and the back mesh pocket holds my mini tripod. I might have to get a bigger bag, but for now it holds everything. I might even just use it for my accessories and keep the camera in the case I got from Mega Gear: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y68R0Q/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Overall a great product and I would buy again from Cardinal Camera. (they even include a coupon for prints from their shop!)
