I was really dissapointed when I received this bag, I figured $70 for a larger camera bag that was MADE just for the G1 wasn't too bad. I assumed it would have a snug perfect fit for the camera body and then side compartments for a couple lenses. Well the inside is no different than any other camera bag with 2 adjustable compartment flaps and fitting in the camera plus 2 available lenses just leaves a little too much wiggle room which is odd since the case was made just for the G1! the inside is soft although you should have your lens caps on and LCD turned in anyway, so softness inside shouldn't matter too much. It just looks and feels like a $30-$40 bag, not the $80 retail they want for it. You can probably get a better bag for $30-$40. Its not weatherproof or stylish, in fact if you are a male its rather feminine to carry a bag like this. Don't pay $30 extra just for the Lumix name on the bag, find a better one at a retailer store then come back to amazon and search for it, hahaha.

I am a sucker for items that are an exception to the status quo. I love a camera bag that doesn't have the appearance of a camera bag. The problem however occurred when I received the camera bag. I opened it with my wife hovering over my shoulder and subsequently thanking me for her new purse! :)The Pananasonic DMW-BAG1 is a nicely designed camera bag with genuine leather accents. The bag is constructed mostly of a black nylon exterior with smooth high quality (Burgundy) leather accents.
Inside the bag you will find three compartments, one for the camera and the other two for either lenses, flash, etc. There is also an external zippered compartment and non-zippered compartment. The compartments will not prevent your contents from moving vertically so if you are a bit rough, you may find that your contents have shifted into another compartment.
Overall, I find this to be a nicely designed bag, but it fails to deliver when it comes to securely protecting your valuables. Additionally, the camera bag will not protect your camera in the wet so if you decide to shoot in the rain, please handle with care.
Best Deals for Panasonic DMW-BAG1-K Bag
I have other, larger bags which hold my DSLR's and assorted lenses and such, but when I bought the GF1, I wanted a bag that would carry only the GF1, the 3 lenses I have for it (the 20, the 14-45 and the 45-200) and small additional items such as an extra battery, viewfinder and a few memory cards. Specifically, I wanted something that was small and light and easy to carry around the city on my day-to-day travels. This bag works great. This is the same reason that I bought the GF1 in the first place; small, light and easy to carry around the city on my day-to-day travels.The bag seems to be sturdy and well-made, stylish and the camera is easily accessible. It's not waterproof, but neither is the camera. And, it doesn't really scream "camera bag...steal me!" (it sort of resembles a purse). All in all, this bag turned out to be exactly what I was looking for and I'm extremely happy with it.
Honest reviews on Panasonic DMW-BAG1-K Bag
It's exactly what I wanted.I went with the Panasonic Lumx GF-1 instead of a traditional DSLR because of it's smaller size (my hands do not fit comfortably around most of the DSLRs). I wanted a smaller bag to go with the compact camera, yet store/hold my gear. I have bigger traditional camera bags and they are too bulky. I almost didn't buy this bag, but then I found better reviews on another site.
It's very stylish, very light weight and comfortable to carry. I have no problems with it and a purse on the same shoulder.
I also Love the Red leather to go with my Red camera, just an extra perk.
If you are looking for a compact bag, this is the one. I've included photos (taken with phone) to show you how much can fit in it.
