Review of Cosmos Nylon Waist/Hip carrying bag for Sony Panasonic Canon Nikon

Customer Ratings:

I haven't owned it for long but there's nothing wrong with it. The clips seem a little flimsy, but the fact that you can adjust the interior to fit your camera, lenses, cell phone, wallet and what else you wanna take make the bag very versatile.

I own a Sony DHSC200 which I have fitted with an aftermarket adapter made by Digital Goja that allows me to attach filters and lenses to it. My camera would no longer fit properly in a case intended for that model once the adapter was attached and, since it attaches with set screws, I had no desire to take it off and store it elsewhere. I needed a bag that was not as large as one for a DSLR but not as small as one for a point and shoot. This bag fits my camera nicely with the first adapter ring attached (it's a two piece adapter)and a lens cap. In the bag are also two of the smallest Very Useful boxes with 4 AA batteries each in them, and the second ring of the adapter with it's lens cap. In the one small side pocket I have placed the cord used for uploading the pictures to my computer. In the front zippered pocket, I was easily able to fit my Joby sling strap, and there was adequate space to store my manual and extra lens cap in the rear velcro pocket. It was necessary only to use the two smaller dividers in the large interior cavity leaving the larger one as a spare. The strap handily accommodates my Hufa lens cap holder.

I have only two complaints about the bag. The first is the positioning of the strap mounts. While you have two choices of sets of D rings on which to clip the strap, both choices seem to be located somewhat unfortunately (one set on the back of the bag and the other rather close to one another on the top)and make the bag a touch more awkward to carry. The other complaint is that there is no carry handle on the bag. Photographers frequently shift their bags about in their cars and homes and luggage and carrying the bag by the strap makes it more likely that it will be banged about.

The most awesome feature (in my opinion) is the bright yellow interior. No, yellow is not my favorite color, but this color makes it so much easier to see/find objects in the bag.

If Amazon allowed me to give this 4.5 stars, I easily would but I do think the strap placement deserved the less than 5 star rating.
