It's a very nice bag - but way too small! [Posted on 2008-06-02] This bag is well made, but the photo is VERY deceiving. My Olympus body is way too large for this bag, and so it will not even hold the body and two lenses. Don't get me wrong, the bag is nice - but for a point and shoot camera and a tube of lipstick - but not for a Pro!
Great bag but small [Posted on 2008-06-09] This is a great SLR camera bag however it is a bit on the small side. I have a Nikon D40 and a 70-300 zoom lens and a 18-55 kit lens as well as an external flash and the battery charger. With all these items in the bag it is quite cramped and items fit very snugly. This is good in that your camera wont fall out accidentally if you open the zipper however, you must open the entire bag to get each component out. There is only one removable Velcro strap to hold the camera down. I find odd since the rest of the lenses can pop out if you are wearing the backpack on your back. Just go to walmart and pick up some Velcro straps ($3-$5) in the crafts department and use those to hold down the other lenses and flash.
Tiny [Posted on 2008-08-04] I knew I was buying a small camera backpack but I had no idea that it was that tiny! The photo makes us think it is bigger but it is really tiny! It fits just a small camera such us Canon XTi (no batery grip), one extra small lens such as Tamron 17-50mm, and some memories or bateries - THAT IS ALL - The thing that really bothered me most is that it is too narrow, shallow, and tight. It is really impossible to fit all that gear showed in the photo they use for the commercial. DO NOT BUY IT! IT DOES NOT WORTH!
Great bag, a couple flaws [Posted on 2008-08-10] The bag works well overall and has many compartments and configuration options.
My two problems were the straps killed my shoulders after a few hours. Mainly because they sewed leather strips onto the straps. This would drag my t-shirt, causing irritation. I had to cut off the leather strips. That wasn't too optimal.
Second was the big lip covering the zipper makes it a bit tough to zipper quickly. It gets stuck several times in the opening and closing process.
Even with those flaws, I still like the bag for its compactness, sturdiness, and style.
excellent choice [Posted on 2008-08-15] Loved, loved this case. It's just the right size for my needs. Holds my Nikon body and 3 lenses as well as flash. I'm not a professional photographer, but enjoy quality products...it's not a mongo, flashy, here I am and I've got expensive gear kind of look. Would buy again.
