This line of cases are very well made....well padded, well designed. The model 5501 is similar but a few inches shorter and half the price. I have the 5501 and it fits my gear perfectly BUT....my Nikon 55-300 lens won't fit if mounted to the body. This case will do that....so I will have to get this one. Cords, extra battery,extra memory and filters all fit in the front compartment. If in doubt at all about the size difference between the two models, go for this slightly bigger one.

One of my concerns with shopping online is not being sure of the dimensions of the bag even though it has product information. The feel of the material and how its put together is something you can't discern from reading a description so I did a lot of shopping around for a camera bag in stores. I saw this one in the store and compared prices and it turns out it was $10 less from amazon.I am very pleased with the bag. It met all my requirements with durability, versatility and the compartments adjustments just fit my camera and lenses perfectly. It is also very easy to carry around and have a quick access to change lenses or something.
Very nice overall.

I like how it has padding on both the top and bottom. I feel that my camera is well-insulated from all 6 sides. I also like how the top flap has both a zipper and a buckle closure for added security. (I also own a Tamrac Adventure Messenger 3, which has neither padding on the top flap nor a zipper closure.) I do not have a grip on my camera, so the depth is more than plenty. I keep the hood on my Canon 24-105 lens reversed, and I have at least an inch of room at the top of the bag to spare. It's a very well-built bag. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the bag looks bulky when I carry it around (I am only 5'1"). I don't think I'd use it if I were traveling or walking around town, but for toting my expensive gear in a car and going to, say, a party, wedding, etc. in town, it's great. I think when I travel or have to walk around all day outside, I will look for something more discreet that doesn't scream "I'm carrying around an expensive camera".Honest reviews on Tamrac 5564 Explorer 400 Camera Bag (Blue)
Great product. Carries lots of gear in an organized way. I have a Canon 60D, three lenses including a 70-300, a flash, several filters, spare battery, and other accessories. Fits it all and is well balanced on my shoulder. Extra bonus is the weather cover. Love it and I am a vey demanding customer --just ask those that have gotten my returns when quality wasn't there !!!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Tamrac 5564 Explorer 400 Camera Bag (Blue)
I've owned several camera bags including bags made by Domke, Lowepro and Olympus. The Tamrac Explorer 400 is by far my favorite bag. The padded shoulder strap, detachable raincover and padded compartments are all great, but what I especially love are all the handy pockets! The pocket in the top cover is especially handy for storing lens caps, microfiber cloths, etc. I also like the extra security of the inner zipper under the ample top cover. The only feature I do not like is the quick-release buckle, which is harder to open and close than the quick-release buckles on my older Tamrac Zoom Traveler 6 bag.In terms of capacity, I usually carry either my Sony A57 or my larger Sony A700 with vertical grip attached and my CZ 16-80 zoom lens mounted on the camera, a Sony F43 flash, 2-3 extra lenses ranging in size from my Sony 35/1.8 to my Minolta 100-400 APO zoom, a handful of filters, an RF remote shutter release, a small battery charger, and extra battery, extra memory cards, a couple Lens Pens, a Rainsleeve, a Lumiquest SoftScreen pop-up flash diffuser, and either my LumiQuest SoftBox or my LumiQuest ProMax System. There is also room for a small notebook or manual in the back pocket.
