The kit consisted of 2 Panasonic Lumix cameras (that say Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 1.28-5.6/4.6-16.8 Asph). I also take about 8-10 SD cards and a battery charger and a brush to dust the lens barrel when it is extended. I've had lint get on the barrel and have it sucked into the camera body which ends up on the sensor and causes smudges on some of the prints. I've sent the camer in to Panasonic to have the sensor cleaned under the one year warranty. I've taken thousands of images. I know that I would get better quality with my R9/DMR and some R lenses, but it would be a lot heavier and not as convenient. When we go to Africa on a photo safari I may reconsider the kit. Happy snaps! Stasys
