Mountainsmith Zoom Recycled Camera Bag Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This review is for the small version, not the medium or large. The small is a rectangular box, the medium appears to have a nose that drops down for a telephoto lens. The small is better suited for a medium size digital camera like the Nikon P7000.

The interior dimensions are 4.75 inches high, by 5 inches wide, by 3.25 inches deep. More than enough for the Nikon P7000.

The exterior dimensions are 5.25 X 5.5 X 3.75 (a full 1/4 inch on each side to protect your expensive camera!).

Let me count the ways, or rather the features I love, that almost no other small camera bags have...

1. Top handle!

2. Opens towards your body, great so that you can leave the bag attached to you, and the top has a double zipper!

3. Waist strap *and* shoulder strap (that has padding). The Dual straps is a typical Mountain Smith feature that is on their larger waist bags too.

4. Interior Velcro-wall, to remove for larger cameras or to make the interior exactly the right size for your camera. The removable interior wall is padded, about 1/4 inch to further protect your camera (the empty space created? food!!)

5. Rain fly built into the bottom (similar to some Vaude backpacks)

6. Exterior bungee to hold light weight jacket, hat and/or gloves.

7. Key-Leash (with a water bottle in hand, this could be your only bag to take on a hike)

8. Will hold my iphone too in outside zipper pocket and any nano will fit into the top interior zipper enclosure.

8. Two mesh exterior pockets for batteries or SD cards (plenty of room inside for those too).

I can imagine this being my one personal item to carry on a plane, with enough room for a couple of energy bars, my other small electronics inside, solio battery charger slung to the outside, and my roll on stowed safely above, the perfect little man-purse!

Oh, I am 5'11" with 32" inseam and the should strap is plenty long for me, with maybe 6 inches to still grow (which I won't).

I got this bag for my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 zoom camera. It holds the camera, neck strap, extra battery and lens hood easily. The bag is well-constructed, with convenient features like a top carry handle, shoulder strap, rain cover and roomy outside pouch. The only negative, and it's a small one, is the main zipper is tough to pull open; I'm hoping it'll get easier as I use the bag.

This is fantastic camera bag for hiking. There is just enough space for the "necessary" accessories I needed for a long backpacking trip in CO Mountains. The rain gear protected my camera through several rainstorms during the trip. The neck strap is difficult to use while also carrying a backpack, so I used it in combination with the waist strap and a clip to hold it at my side and keep it from bouncing during the hike. I was very please with the results!

Honest reviews on Mountainsmith Zoom Recycled Camera Bag

Nice bag, great quality for the times when you don't need to truck around all your gear. It's a little pricey. You can find actual Nikon bags on eBay for a lot less. I dig that it's all recycled and has a cool waterproof zipper at the top.

This bag is extremely well crafted! It offers a decent amount of padding to protect the camera and has sufficient storage for memory cards. My only complaint would be that the waist strap would offer more comfort and support if it was wider. That said I use the bag to carry a second camera on photo-shoots and it work awesome! I would buy this bag again hands down!
