 Waterproof saved my day! August 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was at the beach recently waiting for the Blue Angels air show and the sky just opened up. I was about 1/2 mile from the car and had no real cover. I had to walk/run through the absolute downpour and lightning (four people got hit... eek) with this bag holding my camera body, 3 lenses, a charger, microfiber clothes, USB adapters, etc.
If you have this bag and turn on your bathroom shower and walk in with it, then you'll have an idea of what I put it through. When I finally got to my car I unlatched it and opened it up to find my camera and lenses all perfectly dry. YAY! Inside the front zipper pouch... my battery charger and usb adapters... dry! YAY! Unzipped the front (top) flap pouch... my micro fiber clothes and remote... SOAKED!!! Apparently that section is not waterproof. The back section also has a small zipper pouch but I never put anything in there. The soaked cloths kind of bothered me since I couldn't wipe up the fogged lenses. The remote still worked fine (thank goodness). I'm very very happy with this bag. ALWAYS GO WITH WATERPROOF! This won't help if you drop it in the lake, but in a heavy rainstorm... it is heaven-sent.
Great Bag! July 28, 2008

This is a great bag! It has held and protected all my camera gear so far. It fits my D40, 18-55 kit lensm 50mm f/1.8, and my SB-28 (old but an upgrade is coming soon!). I recently ordered a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8,so I have now accumulated enough stuff that I will be in need of a larger backpack when I want to take all my gear with me. This bag will still be used when I need a more casual/professional looking bag, when a backpack should not really be used. I will however, stick with the Tamrac series. I find their build quality to be durable, and the styling to be appealing. I have a Tamrac bag for my P+S, This bag as a dSLR case, and will be purchasing a Tamrac backpack as my gear collection grows.
 Good fit June 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's soft and comfortable to wear. My Olympus E-510 and its two standard lens fit perfectly. My only complaint, and this is very minor, is that it doesn't stand up on its own accord after the camera is put in. But, I'll keep fiddling with the movable separators and maybe I can position the camera to keep the bag from being top heavy.
Overall, this is a very good bag at a good price.
 Lacking Protection April 30, 2008

Bought this bag and am returning it.
Pros:
-Configurable interior compartments.
-Design is OK. Not super stealth but pretty inconspicuous.
-Fairly large front pouch for accessories.
-Easy to get to camera.
-Roomy.
Cons:
-Too easy to get to camera/equipment. Even when shut as tight as possible, you can easily reach in from the side and grab your camera. This was the deal breaker for me. I can just see water/dust making it's way into the main compartment.
-Almost no padding on the top cover (where your LCD is facing up).
-Kinda cheap build quality. OK for the price but the materials definitely seemed kinda cheap to me.
-Loud velcro closure on for main compartment. A negative if you want to open this bag in a quiet area.
I would not recommend this bag and am surprised that it has so many good reviews.
 Nice bag for normal use April 29, 2008

This bag good for normal use only. Not for adveture like hiking or travelling, due to lack of padding. Fit DSLR camera with zoom lens and 2 extra lens -> zoom + wide angle (fit better without lens hood), charger and memory cards. Side pockets are very tight to be useful for anything then slim cellphone (if you loaded the bag as above). Quick access to camera is nice.
