I had a hard time judging the worthiness of this bag without seeing it in person, so I took a chance. First, the quality of the polystyrene and the stitching and the strap are pretty good. Second, the actual way the bag wraps up the camera was never apparent to me no matter how many web sites I looked at. Now I know; the front of the camera stuffs into it up to the back plate, a flap at the bottom-back folds over the back plate and get this wraps over the lens and allows the lens to stick through a hole. So it's the lens sticking through this hole that keeps the thing wrapped up. I hope that helps someone else to understand. Third, the bag isn't as convenient as i'd hoped. It seems like it might be a pain to get it unwrapped, shoot, and wrap it back up. It does, however, have a clip to attach the back to your camera strap so that it can just dangle while you shoot, and that's nice.

A problem that I have that isn't their fault but that you might want to know about anyway is that the bag is a bit too snug for my Nikon D50. At least it worries me how tight I have to wrap it to get the lens through the hole.

A five-star review would have meant a more convenient bag-shoot-bag process.

I purchased this camera cover in 1997 and am just now needing to replace it! I traveled 12 months in Asia, lived in Japan where I took a ton of photos for 2 years, cycle toured 6 months with this case and just now it is starting to show holes along the lens crease at the very front.

Basically, this bag rocks! It molds to your camera, is very fast to take off, is great for dropping your camera or throwing it in a backpack and keeps dust and what ever off the body. I can fit it in a purse as it is not baggy.

I highly recommend purchasing this case!!

Zing is a lifesaver. I have a Canon T1i and I normally leave the kit 18-55mm lens on. I didn't like the idea of getting a special bag just for my camera that screams "steal me I'm a camera!" so this the perfect protection for throwing camera in the bottom of my normal pack and not really worrying about it. The case is snug but not tight and is very well made with strong seams and material. Overall a great product.

Honest reviews on Zing 501-105 SGY1 Standard SLR Cover (Gray)

I really wanted this cover for my Nikon D5000 since I didn't want to carry a giant camera case around. However, this standard size cover is too small for my camera with the standard kit lens. The lens was about 3.5", the problem is really with the size of the camera body. I would need the large version of this case. Conceptually, I would prefer this cover design over other soft cases but they need to provide more information on camera compatibility for this product.

This case is a very nice, discreet alternative to a traditional bulky camera case. I use it for my Nikon D3000 with the 18-55mm Nikkor lens (the kit lens). The fit is perfect, and I feel that it protects the camera enough that I can just carry it in my normal travel day pack. While I don't own any other lenses, I don't think this case would fit the camera if a (physically) longer lens were attached.
