It does come with a lens cap! The package is complete and nothing else is really necessary. In case you plan to take a load of pictures and can't recharge the battery it might be a good idea to have an extra recharged battery. Of course you need a memory card.

Hello Hillary:Yes. the FZ200 comes with a lens cap and a little cord which I fastened to one of the strap lugs so as not to lose or forget it. As for other accessories, first, get at least one spare battery (try EBAY); second, a shoe mount flash is a very handy if you are shooting indoors. I got a Vivitar DF383 which works well, costs about $120 but (grrrrrr) does not work with NiMH (rechargeable) batteries. So I use either alcalines or, better, lithium batteries. That's about it. It is a nice camera for casual photography such as for computer viewing, emailing or iphoning or making prints up to say, 8x10 (on a good day).I recommend the FZ200. I like mine.Larry Hello Hillary:Yes. the FZ200 comes with a lens cap and a little cord which I fastened to one of the strap lugs so as not to lose or forget it.

The camera comes with a lens cap, sunshade and shoulder strap (along with battery and charger).I picked up a spare set of 3rd party batteries and charger.

It comes with a lens cap with a "string" attachment. I would suggest you get yourself a lens protector to prevent scratches. It has the simple strap the battery and charger there is no case without ordering one.

yes, and he cap comes with an optional attachement line. Essential accessory - larger SD card. Not essential, but a 2nd battery can prove invaluable.
1085924
yes. It comes with lens cap. I have been using it at home, camping, in yellow stone, without adding anything other than a bag.

Mine came with a cap. You will need a memory card and I would recommend a camera case and extra battery.

Yes, it does include a hood. It's a little bit annoying, because the lens cap actually goes on the hood instead of the lens, so if you want to have a cap on the lens you'll have to have the hood on it too.

Yes it comes with a lens cap a very nice strap which you can connect the lens cap to so it doesn't get lost when you have it off to take pics.

No lens cap required. Just like the other Ron wrote, when you turn it off it retracts it has its own lens cover. Depending upon how you use and carry it with you it might be good to occasionally check the lens for dust - when the camera is on and the lens is open of course.

Make sure you check what is included in the kit as there are various kits with different accessories, but yes to neck strap, lens cap (attached by cord to camera). As far as connector cable and other accessories, it would depend onkit and the price tag. Just read the description carefully and you won't be disappointed when you get your purchase.

There is a lens hood but no other accessories. You will need to purchase a UV filter.

You will need to buy all three of the above in addition to the lens. The lens does not come with additional accessories.

1. The lens with end cap, hood, and soft lens cap that fits over the hood. 2. The luggage type case. 3. A CD with instructions for EF lenses. 4. Warranty papers. My lens arrived inside plastic bags inside the case which was inside a padded Canon box which was in turn inside a shipping box. It had clearly not been handled since leaving the factory.

No lens cap is included, and I do not feel one is needed. When the camera is "Off" the lens is protected by a multi-element mechanical shutter which protects it. One could obtain a cap to protect the lens when the camera is "On" but the lens is adequately protected (for my purposes, anyway) by shutting the camera off when not shooting.
