Accessory Kit
This was deffinitely more than I expected.

Don't order this if your primary reasons are a tri-pod or camera case,tri-pod is light duty and camera case will barely hold the camera. Both are usable. The rest of the bits and pieces make up for these drawbacks.

Some useful, some spectacularly useless
Let's go through what I got and see how it stacks up on my Lumix DMC-FZ50: 1) I got a pair of Digital Innovations converter lenses - the zoom is totally useless, totally smearing the pictures no matter what zoom setting I use on the camera (and with the conversion settings on or off), and the wide angle "portholes" - as in it looks like you're looking through a porthole with a round frame around your picture, clipping the corners. If you cropped the picture it's not bad. The case will not fit this camera, it's a 10x8x2 inch case for pocket cameras. The Merkury filters seem okay at first blush. The USB-SD disk reader is useful if you don't have one already. The 1GB high speed SD card is useful - more memory is always useful. The spare battery (note: from Digital Innovations and not Panasonic) and car charger for it (actually a car and wall charger in one) are both must haves. The cleaning kit is your basic cheapie cleaning kit - same kit I could have gotten 20 years ago (and did), but it'll do. The 42-inch and tabletop tripods now give me a complete set since I have a full size one already, but only you will know if that's useful or not. So, was it worth it for $80 (with shipping)? Well, the battery is $5, the charger you figure is $10. The memory card is $8. The filters are $20. So, the answer for me is no, since the lenses are crap - ah well, caveat emptor. If you need a card reader and the tripods, then it's a wash. Just don't bother with the lenses - they're pretty close to useless, and so is the case.

Mixed Bag
I have owned this kit for a year now. Here's what I've found: I use the memory card, extra battery, and charger all the time and am very happy with them. The card reader has a cheap feel to it, but it works fine. The case is solidly built, but a tight fit. It's possible to put all these accessories in it (except the tripod), but it is very snug. The large tripod is light-weight and wobbly. I tend to use the shutter timer when using it, because on anything less than perfect footing, even pushing the shutter will jiggle the camera. That being said, it has survived a year of sometimes indelicate use. The filters are of mixed quality. Two were good, and I use them regularly. One had a defect on the edge that has showed up in a couple of pictures. The lenses are very poor quality, and I haven't used them since the first failed experiment with them. The small tripod is too flimsy to support the camera's weight reliably. It's easier and sturdier to just set the camera on a few stacked books. The cleaning kit smears the filters. I use the brush occasionally, but the cloth and solution is hopeless. In short, it was an interesting experiment for a first-time digital camera user. I now know what I want in lenses, filters, and a tripod when it comes time to buy replacements. And for the price it was an okay deal despite the problems. But be aware that this is all bare-minimum, "starter" gear.
