Nikon Coolpix CoolPack II Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After writing a scathing review stating that there were no details on this item (therefore my initial 1 star rating...) I have finally uncovered details.
The Coolpack II consistst of a very durable Nikon bag with the Nikon logo (hey if you got it, you may as well flaunt it). The bag is large enough to hold the camera and incidental accessories that you will probably need to go along with it. As the Nikon website states, it has plenty of pockets and places for gear. Trust me, it is far better to have everything in its own place than it is to have to rummage through a generic bag for the specific item you want.
Although the bag was the most important feature for me, the other accessories are noteworty. First, the kit comes with a USB flash card adapter to download pictures directly into your computer without having to attach the camera to the "USB to camera cable" which comes with the camera. The adapter is both good and bad. Using the supplied cable that comes with the camera is simple,works well, and is relatively quick so the adapter is really not needed. On the other hand, if you have totally depleted your battery and want to see the pictures now, the adapter is grat to have.
The kit also comes with a collection of four filters. The UV filter reduces the haziness in pictures of distant objects. It also makes a great lens protector. The polarizing filter reduces glare similar to the effect of ploarized sunglasses but without the light dimming effect. The final two filters are two grey filters to reduce the light entering the camera. A neat little case is also provided to hold the filters.
The price of the kit is a bit high in my estimation (as is everything by Nikon- sigh) but is still a nice addition to the camera. The various parts of the kit can be purchased generically for less but if you are like I am, I was a sucker for the kit despite the price.
