I purchased this package a little over a year ago. It came with two Li rechargeable batteries. One was from Nikon, but the second was not. The second one fit too tightly, and I had to sandpaper it down a little to make it fit. I was using it recently when it ran out of juice much too soon. When I went to remove it from the camera it was so snug that I had to use a pocket knife to get it out. This is a sure sign that the battery is going bad. In retrospect, I now believe that it had begun failing when I received it. I can't help but feel that I had been sent a used (possibly reconditioned) battery. Other than that, the camera and other accessories were as advertised.
As always when you buy you find those "why not this" choices, like the Nikon D90...cheaper etc etc but side by side comparisons I still prefer the D5000 and what i paid for this package.
