(More customer reviews)The Nikon D3000 is an incredible product and I would buy it again in a flash! But not from Cameta Camera. Buyers deciding between buying the parts of the bundle should be aware of exactly what the bundle contains.
The product title indicates "EN-EL9a Battery" is included. The product description indicates "All Brand New Items with all Manufacturer-supplied Accessories". The technical details say "Spare EN-EL9a High Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Pack". "EN-EL9a" is a Nikon brand product code, and the product retails for $40+ on Amazon.com.
BUT...the actual product shipped by Cameta Camera is "ACD-273 REPLACEMENT FOR NIKON EN-EL9/EN-EL9a", an aftermarket battery valued at a small fraction of the Nikon battery.
I would never have purchased this bundle had I known it came with an aftermarket battery with far less value. In fact I reviewed the product information carefully and confirmed that it was a Nikon EN-EL9a battery before placing my order. Cameta offered a feeble refund of $3, which I rejected because it wasn't worth my time. Customer service was poor. I am regretful for ordering this bundle, as I could have gotten better value and better service by buying the Nikon D3000 elsewhere.
The camera bag is Nikon-branded and high quality. It is on the large side and more suitable for use with 2-3 lenses than with just one. I would recommend a smaller bag if you're just using one lens.
The DVDs are also Nikon-branded and they are great. These are a great way to get started and I recommend them highly. You can buy them separately here: Nikon School DVD, Fast Fun and Easy IV: Great Digital SLR Pictures - Featuring the Nikon D3000 Digital SLR Camera, Nikon School DVD - Understanding Digital Photography
The cleaning kit is just a set of low-quality plastic pieces that I am not likely to use.
