The Powershot SX530 is a great and amazing camera, the quality of the zoom and pictures surpasses my expectations. This review is more specifically about the entire kit. When I received the kit, I instantly wanted to start charging the second battery for a planned hike on which we were going to take a lot of pictures. Unfortunately despite having bought a Canon camera and having a canon battery charger the kit came with a Nikon battery that doesnt fit the camera charges and therefor I have no second battery. The screen protectors that came with the kit were bend, so no way to actually cut them and apply them onto the screen. The tripod is of such cheap quality that it is nearly impossible to get the camera mount stable enough to take a picture, its primarily made out of plastic. The mini tripod tips over when you put the camera on it and extend its zoom lens. So literally you might be better off buying the camera separate at a cheaper price and only look for usable accessories you really need. A second battery costs about $7 and you surely can find a better tripod at a reasonable price as well.
