Lowepro 2145910 Bag, Ex 120 Camera Bag, Black Nylon Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought my EX 120 at a local big-box computer store at a very attractive price (under $20) without actually checking to see if it would fit the compact DSLR I had in mind for it, my Nikon D80. I should have checked, because even though it's advertised as fitting a DSLR with a compact zoom, it won't fit the D80 with the 17-70mm zoom, which I thought of as compact. I can squeeze the D80 with a Nikon 50/1.8AF or 35/2.0 AF, and you might be able to fit a D3000 or D5000 with one of the tiny 18-55mm zooms they come with, but I think it's a bit iffy.

Even if you do manage that, there's little room for accessories. The front pouch will accept a spare battery and a few SD cards, but that's it. I think this case is better suited to a point-and-shoot camera with accessories, or perhaps a compact video camera. For a DSLR with a lens (or two) and maybe a flash, check out the Lowepro Stealth Reporter D100 AW Camera Bag. I'm still keeping mine, but it'll be used to carry a small digital audio recorder and spare batteries.

Five stars for Lowepro qualitybut only three stars as a DSLR case.

The Lowepro EX120 is a great answer if you've recently picked up a m4/3 camera. My Olympus PEN E-PL2 (w/o viewfinder) lays perfectly at the bottom; not too snug and not loose. It will also stand up along the side. Depending on how you subdivide the interior and which lenses you carry, you could easily carry the E-PL1 or E-PL2 with lens, plus 2 additional lenses inside. Even with the optional viewfinder attached you could find a configuration that should work. The 40-150mm zoom in a pouch will easily slip into the front zippered pocket.

As an SLR case, I can jam my Canon XTi in it if I don't have a huge zoom attached. I doubt you could carry 2 lenses unless they were the most compact available. There would be room for batteries, cards, etc. Most would probably prefer other options as a dedicated SLR case. For me it's a bonus.

The case itself has nice construction and the interior compartment is well padded. There is a belt loop at the back. The strap is nice and wide without being out of proportion. I question the value of the mesh side pockets, but the rest is just what I was looking for.
