Average rating: Stars

Geat accessory kit for my 5700 camera

The case fits very well with my Coolpix 5700 camera. The EH-52 AC adaptor's output rating on the product label is 8.4V/1.3A Max, which is the same as the EH-53. I tested it, worked fine. My PC running Window XP detected the memory card reader automatically and showed it as another removable drive. Transfering pictures without any problem. I can also use the card reader like a USB drive with the Flash memory plugged in.

A Great Buy If You Shop Around

I purchased the Nikon Coolpix Deluxe Accessory Kit from Walmart.com for under $30 in December 2003. Like several other reviewers, I found that the AC adapter that came with the kit (the EH-52) was NOT the one specified by Nikon for my Coolpix 4300 (the EH-53), and I was concerned about using it on a new camera that cost close to $400.

I contacted Nikon tech support by e-mail, and they responded that the EH-52 and EH-53 AC adapters are interchangeable. Both models have the same voltage and amperage output.

I bought the kit primarily for the case and the card reader. The case is well padded and roomy -- an excellent choice for those who need to carry more than the camera and an extra battery and memory card. If you are carrying just those three items, however, you might want to get a case that's smaller and less bulky.

The card reader is an excellent accessory, but it might be worth noting that the kit includes a "generic" (i.e., non-Nikon) card reader.

The other items that come with the kit are nice, but I do not have too much use for them. AC adapters limit the camera's mobility, but they are certainly handy if you are using the camera from a fixed location and have access to a power source. I prefer to keep memory cards in their original cases rather than use the card wallet that came with the kit. The lens cleaning cloth is also nice, but I would rather use the disposable kind so I do not worry about depositing dirt back onto an expensive lens after several uses.

The kit is a great buy if you can get it for a low price. Current (January 2004) online prices range from $19.76 (2buystore) to $69.99 (Circuit City), so shop around.

Beware of AC Adapter that comes with this product

Overall I was very pleased with the quality of the product but unfortunately had to send the kit back b/c the AC Adapter included was not the one advertised. This kit comes with an EH-52 rather than the stated EH-53. I needed an EH-53. My Nikon says that if I used anything but I could overheat the components. If your camera can use an EH-52, this is a great buy.
