 Save some money, buy the items separately. April 22, 2005

This "kit" is not worth its current price.
It's not much of a kit to begin with; it's only 2 items.
First off, you should skip the overpriced canon batteries and charger altogether. Canon doesn't have a patent on NiMH batteries. Older Canon manuals seemed to indicate that you have to use Canon rechargeables, but that's simply not true. While NiMH batteries are a definite must for battery hungry digital cameras, there are better options out there which are completely compatible with your camera.
For half the price of this kit you can get a charger and batteries that charge in as little as 15 minutes, and have a higher mAh rating. I'd recommend the Energizer 15 minute kit.
The canon case is quality, and an excellent choice for your camera. A case is not something you should cheap out on: it is an absolute necessity.
However, when this case is available separately for less than ten dollars (currently $6.39!) on amazon, you should really just buy it separately and choose a better charger.

[...]Better yet, spend a bit more at Radio Shack for a system that will handle different size batteries as well. This is a scam for suckers who think there is something uncompatible about one AA-battery versus another; thinking Canon makes a "special" battery only compatible with their camera (ha), they spend more than twice what they should. Don't be fooled.
 A must have if you've purchased the Powershot "A" Series. June 7, 2004

The litmus test of a good product (typically) is it's availability (not always, but in this case, for certain!). Well, as I attempted to find the A Series accessory kit, I became incredibly frustrated with the following messages: "Out of Stock," "Backordered," "Arriving Soon." Whether my theory of "everyone with an A Series wants one" or whether Canon just doesn't produce enough of these these kits is really irrelevant; if you own an A Series, this kit is a must.First, the compact case is a streamlined and perfect fit; not a bulky case. And, every camera, particularly these expensive digitals, must have some kind of protection. Okay, preliminaries out of the way, the case is just the cherry. The real beef to this kit is the charger and NiMH rechargeable batteries. Depending on your use of your camera (and disregarding its powersaving features), AA batteries do not have abundant life. My solution is to have an extra set of non-rechargable AAs with me at all times (which can be conveniently stored in the front pouch of the accompanying case) while using the rechargables. By using this scheme, I'll always be prepared when taking photos. After I get home, I pop the rechargables in the charger, which is very compact and can be plugged in nearly any convenient outlet, and use the non-rechargables. To recharge all four batteries is something less than 4 hours; not bad, all-in-all. At the price, this is an accessory kit that all A Series owners should strongly consider.

It is a waste of your money to spend $40 for Canon Battery Charger.
Best Option is to buy Sony Charger which comes with 4 AA batteries and buy the Camera cover which totals around $25 so that shipping is free.
 Too expensive. January 1, 2006

This kit is priced way too high. If you shop around you can find other NIMH battery chargers for a lower price and the batteries that are included often have a higher mAH rating. Some of the chargers even have a quick charge mode so you don't have to wait overnight for them to charge.
There are also camera cases for specific model cameras that should fit those camera much better. The case for the Canon PowerShot A400/A410 is (at the time of this review) priced on Amazon at just under $6. It fits my PowerShot A410 camera perfectly and is well worth the price.
