Digital Cameras and digital camera phones have great advantages over traditional film cameras. The ability to take high resolution photographs, using a very compact device means that it is easy to always have a camera with you to capture both formal and reportage style pictures in any place at any time.
The quality of the camera is often based on the resolution, referred to as the number of megapixels, with the larger the megapixel count the better quality the image will be as the more pixels there are in the image, the more detail the camera can record.
Coupled with the improvements in resolution have come better quality lenses on the cameras and camera phones, improved editing software, sometimes built into the device, and removable memory cards that can store hundreds and is some cases thousands of pictures.
And of course with digital photography the results are instant. You click to take a photograph and can straight away see the results. If you don't like what you see, you delete the picture and try again, without the need to have a film processed and printed to find out the quality of your photographs.
Although this ability to easily record pictures is improving rapidly over time, there is still a gulf between how easy it is to take the photographs and getting them from the digital camera or camera phone so if you are like many people your photos stay on the device or memory card until you suddenly run out of room.
But what if you loose your camera or your phone is stolen, or if your memory card is accidently erased? All your pictures can be lost in an instant. It is therefore good practice to get in the habit of taking the photographs from the device and making sure you have a back up copy. These simple steps should help:
1. Regularly copy the images from your camera, mobile phone or memory card onto your computer. It is a good idea to set up a dedicated directory and then save the pictures into folders that mean something, for example Summer holiday in Florida. This way you can quickly find the pictures you want at a later date. This is also a good time to delete any that you will not want to keep, such as blurred photos or nearly duplicate images.
2. Back these up from your computer, either onto a CD or DVD disk or a portable hard drive. Ideally store this backup away from your main computer in case of fire or theft.
3. You may want to consider putting a back up of your favourite photographs to an online storage service such as Flikr.
4. Finally, don't leave your photographs sitting on your camera or hard disk but print your favourites to share and enjoy.

I think this is a great deal (I got it for [...]). If you are paying the full [...] that they say it is worth then I don't know if it is cost effective. Let me review individual items so you know what you are getting.
First off, this bundle comes with screen protectors. I think that is a waste. The camera comes with a think plastic screen cover for the display. So why would you want to put a thin flexible cover on it instead?
The camera case it comes with is okay. I am glad it came with one because otherwise I wouldn't have one, and it saved me the effort of going out shopping for one. But I think it is a bad case. It comes with several removable dividers for the main compartment, but if you put any of them in then the camera doesn't fit. From my experience people who use SLRs have multiple lenses. This case does not allow you to carry more lenses around with you. It can however fit the charger, spare battery, spare memory cards, your hood, and the memory card reader that this kit comes with.
The memory card reader that it came with is great! It can store an SD card in it and then it has a hard plastic cover that closes the card inside keeping it safe. So you can use the card reader to store an extra SD card. It also comes with a USB extension cable which is great if you have too much congestion to fit the card reader in a given USB slot. (An interesting note about the memory card: the one that came in my package was not on the list of "supported" cards for the D90. This doesn't mean much at all, but if you care about it then be aware. Although it may be different for everyone who buys this package. I say that because the picture of items is not completely accurate. The tripod is different colors and the memory card reader is different.)
I haven't tried the lens cleaning kit yet, so I can't evaluate its effectiveness. It looks to me as though I will go through the cloths and solution quite quickly though. So you probably want to invest in a bulk size container of cleaning solution and cloths.
The spare battery that it comes with actually has more juice than the one that Nikon sells with the camera. That makes it even better!
The memory card size is dependent on you. If you take pictures at the standard quality then it can hold about 2100. If you are taking pictures at the highest quality then it can hold about 1000. And if you are taking pictures using RAWs it can hold about 530 pictures.
The monopod is exactly that. It has a fixed mounting point. It has the option of a spike tip bottom or a rubber bottom.
The tripod is very light. It has a lot of easily adjustable parts. It has two built in levels to help you keep it angled correctly. The part that mounts on the camera has a quick release from the tripod, to allow you to easily pick up your camera and carry it around.
I can't say much about the lens it comes with, because a lens is very specific to the situation that it is being used in. The quality of the lens is great, so that is not in question. Let me explain what I mean. When I bought this package I knew nothing about advanced photography. I had only ever used a point and shoot camera on Auto mode. So basically I had no idea what lens I wanted. I suggest that if you don't know much about lenses then you do some research before you buy this. I will give you some info in basic terms. The lens it comes with is a zoom lens. I like having a zoom lens because it means that you aren't locked in to one set position. The problem with zoom lenses is that they don't let in as much light as a fixed lens, so to compensate you will have to have longer exposures in low light conditions (Obviously if you use the flash this isn't an issue, but the built in flash isn't very good.). A fixed zoom lens lets in more light which allows you to take pictures using faster exposure times. This results in less chance of blur. The lens it comes with has Vibration Reduction. Vibration Reduction is a nice feature, and it does help greatly, but it uses a significantly higher amount of power. The lens it comes with also focuses much faster than the old lenses used to. I almost never miss a shot due to focus lag, which is much different than with a point and shoot camera.
Now let me review the camera itself. As I said when I bought it I had no idea what I was doing or what any of the features were. It only took me a week to learn most everything. Obviously I am still far from a professional. But I also now know how to use the manual mode very effectively. The best way to learn is to use the camera and experiment. The manual does a very good job of explaining things, but you will still have to look up terms here and there. My suggestion is to use [...]. It helped me a lot. My point about this is to say that the camera is not too complex. It has a very nice and simple interface. Although if you plan on buying it and just using it on Auto mode, then this camera isn't right for you. You don't really need to spend this much money if you aren't going to use all the features that it comes with. The camera itself is a solid camera. It functions great and is very fast! The main reason I wanted it was to be able to take pictures fast. It turns on faster then you can more your finger from the on switch to the shutter release button and press it. It shoots 4.5 frames a second which is plenty fast enough for an advanced amateur. The built in flash on the camera is just the same as a point and shoot camera. It is better than nothing, but it isn't very good quality at all. The camera itself takes amazing pictures! They are so much crisper and higher quality than even a good point and shoot camera. The battery life on the camera is very good. Nikon claims 850 shots per battery. If you drain the battery taking pictures in bursts then you can get over 1500. If you turn the camera off when you aren't using it then you will also get well over 850 shots. However if you leave your camera on for extended periods of time between shots then you will get around 850 shots per battery.
Bottom line: I recommend this package if you want to get serious with photography and you don't have all the gear that comes in this kit.
I'm not going to give out my email address, but if you have any questions and there is a way to contact me through amazon then feel free to. I hope this helps.
First of all this is a really nice kit and i would recommend it for most people who have the money to get into professional or serious amateur Photography.
Pro's - Great price for the items included and everything arrived earlier than amazon expected it to be.
Con's - No lens filters, and a semi crappy DVD to jump start u into dSLR photography. Now the DVD is only 30 minutes and is very very rushed but if you dislike reading id say its not to shabby but if u read the first 50pages or so in the manual that came with the camera you get more info and have stuff explained better than in the DVD. Would rather get a lens filter than the DVD because i could have actually used the lens filters for a wile, where as the DVD was only good for someone who knows nothing about cameras and don't mind rushed explanations of how things work + they miss a lot of vital information in the 30min video that should have been there instead of some of the other things they put in it. Everything was all ready opened but nothing was scuffed or damaged in any way so it doesn't really bother me.
All done and said - Great starter kit, comes with 2 good lenses, a decent/good stand (depends on personal preference on stands), comes with a good lens cleaning kit(thought this also had a lens filter kit in it but it doesn't!), a very nice carrying bag(a little small in my opinion but it works, just gotta cram stuff into it some what to get it to fit everything. i also recommend wrapping the lenses and camera in towels so as to add some shock absorbtion and to keep them from getting scuffed and scratched.), a SD card reader which is awesome if u don't have have one and u don't want to go through the hassle of hooking ur camera up to the computer constantly to get pictures from it(personal preference here again), comes with a universal screen guard with four guards inside the box, the SD card wallet they put in it is kinda worthless(in my honest opinion since it doesn't offer as much protection as the little plastic cases they usually come in) and that's pretty much everything!
Hope this review helps you decide if its right for u! :D
