I was looking for a non-descript, low profile bag that I can use to carry my d5100, 18-55 and 55-300 lens. Most cases are bulky, awkward and even worse a pain to carry. I looked for hours and feel this is perfect. Enough room to store the body wih either lens attached (facing down, supported by pads whereas other cases have the lens facing sideways running the risk of crushing it) and the other lens in the side compartment. There is also room to pack my point and shoot in the case while traveling, hold both battery chargers and a few other small accessories.

If you're looking for something convenient without bulk of some of the larger cases, this should be perfect for you!

I like the bag very much. It's small, but I carry my D90 with 1 lens attached (18-55), plus another lens (55-200). Besides some small miscellaneous items, like IR remote, flash drive, battery charger, etc., there isn't much space left over. Maybe I could fit an external flash and small lens, but that would be about it. It has a zipper enclosure around the top of the bag under the top cover and a quick-release clip. I don't necessarily like the dual closure mechanisms, but I do at least like the zipper because I feel the contents are more secure. It comes with a rain cover that fits in a removable pouch attached to the outside of the bag. The rain cover/pouch is a little bulbous hanging off the bag and I can't picture myself actually using it unless I were caught unprotected in a driving rain, but I figure that as soon as I take it off is when I'll get caught in the rain!

Best Deals for Tamrac 5562 Explorer 200 Camera Bag (Blue)

I recently upgraded by purchasing a Nikon D3200 camera with 18-55 mm lens and a 55-200 mm lens. To top my purchase off I also got a Nikon SB-700 Autofocus Speedlight flash. To finish off my purchase I purchased the Tamrac 5562 Explorer 200 bag.

It is a low profile bag which is superbly crafted. It has a zipper enclosure around the top of the bag under the top cover and a quick-release clip. The bag contains several pouches to hold a battery charger, spare battery, two extra memory chips, and a few other small accessories. An elasticized mesh side pocket provides convenient access to small light weight objects. The bag also contains several durable foam pads held on by Velcros to allow you to customize the inside.

While I really like the bag, I must say that it does limit what I can carry. The camera body and both lenses easily fill up the inside. However, what you do carry is well protected. Nikon D3200 owners beware. To put everything I purchased during my upgrade would undoubtedly require a much larger bag; which might not make me happy either. I would definitely recommend this bag if you want a small, easy to carry bag which will give your equipment maximum protection.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5562 Explorer 200 Camera Bag (Blue)

I bought this bag right before my trip overseas to carry my Olympus digital SLR, a flash, 2 lenses and a few filters. It is just right. Not to big to be in the way, but roomy enough to allow ease of getting lenses, camera etc out of the bag. The Front pocket/organization is great an keeps everything-memory cards etc, orderly and neat. The back pocket even has room to allow a travel guide book. Highly recommended

I bought the Tamrac Explorer 200 for an excursion with my Panasonic Lumix G2, 14-42mm kit zoom, and the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 pancake. This bag held the above kit with room to spare, and was the perfect size for travel. I could probably fit at least one more lens such as the Panasonic/Leica 45mm macro and/or the Lumix 7-14mm Ultra-Wide zoom. I also like the many pockets for accessories, as well as the included rain hood. One gets the secure feeling that one's gear is well-protected from both the elements and any rough handling. It is a Quality item inside and out! I've used Tamrac products for years, and highly recommend them, at least their line of shoulder bags.
