5 Stars Good deal
This is a great deal for the money. Olympus must be losing money on this.
2 Stars Not suitable for C-5500, despite Olympus’s recommendation
This Deluxe Digital Imaging kit is featured on the Olympus website as a recommended accessory to the Olympus C-5500 digital camera. Unfortunately the camera case is much too large to be suitable for the C-5500. (The other included items are fine.)
Actually this camera case is too large for just about any point-and-shoot camera on the market. I suppose the idea is they make it big to allow room for you to pack in your accessories, but if the purpose of a camera case is to protect the camera, it doesn’t help much to have it rattling around with extra batteries, cables, and card-readers.
I recommend you stay away from this kit. Go to a local store and pick out a small camera case that fits your camera.
5 Stars What is actually in this package…
…I took a chance that this was the same product that I saw on the Olympus web site (Olympus part number 200860) and ordered it, and it is. It contains the following items:
1 - Camera bag - this padded bag features a shoulder strap and outside zippered pocket for storage of additional cards or batteries. Width 4.5″ x Height 6″ x Depth 3.0″
2 - 4 AA Ni-MH (1700 mah) batteries with overnight battery charger
3 - xD/SmartMedia USB Reader/Writer
4 - CAMEDIA 4.0 Pro software
For < ... this is a pretty good deal, as many places will charge more than half this amount for the NiMH batteries and charger. Additionally, since my Olympus camera didn't come with a bag, this package makes even more sense.
The USB Smartmedia reader means that I don’t have to turn the camera on to read the Smartmedia cards, which will be nice.
…So, if you just bought (or are buying) an Olympus digital camera, you should consider this item. The price is great and you’ll need everything in it, anyways.
