Digital camera kits are designed for your travel convenience. They protect your expensive camera from damage, let you charge the battery while not in use, and provide you with different compartments for batteries and memory cards. Some kits come with batteries, cleaning supplies, mini-tripods, and camera cases included. When shopping, keep in mind that most digital camera kits are designed for specific cameras. Be sure to read the product specifications in our online catalog before buying a kit.
The first criteria to look for is brand name. Here at Newegg, we sell digital camera kits made by Canon, Olympus, Kodak, Dolica, Sony, and others. These kits will only work with cameras made by the same company. There is a compatibility section in each product description that lists all the cameras that match the different kits. Just because the kit is made by Sony does not necessarily mean it will work with every Sony camera.
If you travel internationally, it is important to purchase a kit that comes with a battery charger that can be plugged into all outlets. Ideally, the charger should have adpators for power outlets in all the countries you plan on visiting. If your digital camera batteries die, you do not want to be using a disposable camera the rest of the trip.
Other points of consideration include the software that may come with a kit, whether or not you want a tripod, and how the kit will be carried. Here at Newegg, we also have photo-printing kits so you can print pictures immediately after shooting them. No matter what you decide to buy, rest assured you will buy it for less money here at Newegg than anywhere else.
