Those little cameras are grea, but they're real easy to damage. This hard-shelled case protects them, and it's cheap. Get one and save yourself the cost of the camera. Only gets four stars since it doesn't come filled with federal reserve notes.

I bought this bag to go to my beach wedding trip in St. Kitts. My gear consisted of a new Fuji bridge camera (HS-50), a Sony point-shoot (WX150 w/case), and a Canon Elph PowerShot in a water housing case. All of these fit in the main compartment like a champ! I also packed the nook and cranny pockets with a dozen AAs, 3-lithiums for my fuji, 2-Sony batteries, 2-Canon batteries, 2-58mm filters for my Fuji, and a bunch of other small things like lint-free cloths, SD cards, etc.

Overall it did amazing! It held all this, car keys, passport and my Galaxy S3 in the main front pocket too. I literally had everything I didn't want to lose in it. It helped to configure the inner compartments as 2 big squares. The Fuji camera in one side and the other 2 cameras in the other. The strap was very comfortable all day, very adjustable and I could barely tell it was on me most days. It even repelled some fine mist and light rain pretty well, although it is not 100% waterproof.

This is my first Ape Case and I very much appreciate the quality, material, and seemingly durable construction. Padding is more than adequate and overall it looks to last a long time. It easily fits under the stow away area on all planes too. I currently throw it in my hiking pack on day hikes too. It seems to be just the right size for my needs. Hope this helps!

I was looking for a camera bag that could withstand rain and carry the necessities along with my big DSLR without being bulky. This is working great for me and its cute too.

I wanted a multi functional camera case that did not scream out " There is a camera in here." My favorite thing is the available colors, I love the bright orange. because of the color it looks like a regular bag until u pull the camera out. The material worked well @ a soccer game that got rained out. I was able to get all the way down several fields & to my car with a dry camera. The inside has pads that can be placed where u need them. I can fit my Nikon w 180 zoom inside with room for my phone or thin accessories or I can take The Fuji S9000 w the 28-300 lens & still slip my phone & my cool pix Nikon in the sides. There is also a decent sized pocket on the inside for memory cards etc. Outside pockets are roomy,larger area has zipper mesh pocket , two square pockets that could fit cards / batteries etc.. plus I can get my phone & keys in this area also. Smaller front zip can hold a small wallet or phone. The only downside for me is the shoulder pad. I am short & prefer to carry the bag across my body, if I tighten the strap for my perfect fit , the pad is not in a useable spot. I actually removed it . other than that I love it. It is the bag I have been waiting for someone to make.

Living near Orlando we go to theme parks A LOT!! This case is perfect for my Canon EOS Rebel, a zoom lens a few filters and extra batteries. I can also squeeze my wallet in there too. You would not want to throw this case with your camera in it but its more than sufficient for the occasional bump or drop.

I bought the orange camera case so I can keep track of my camera at all times when traveling. I was able to carry my Canon T3 camera with the short lens, the longer zoom lens, extra battery and charger. I should be able to carry a small wallet in the front zipper pocket also. I am looking forward to trying it out soon.

I am very pleased with this case for carrying my NEX-6 with the 16-50mm lens (Sony NEX-6L/B 16.1 MP Compact Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LED (Black)). It is nicely padded and there are compartments for spare SD cards and batteries. The small size of this case is perfect for carrying my camera around when I don't plan to use the larger 55-210mm lens.

Edit 5/31 & 6/28/13: The NEX-6 will also fit with one of the following lenses:

* Sony 50mm lens (with lens hood reversed for storage) snug fit

* Sigma 30mm lens (pre-2013 version) easy fit

* Sigma 19mm lens (pre-2013 version) snug fit with lens hood, easy fit when hood reversed for storage

These may help give an idea what other lens-body combinations may work with this case.

Of course, there is no room in this case for an extra lens. But it is great if you know what lens you want to use and just want something to protect the camera.

Edit 6/26/13: For those looking for a case for other cameras, I can tell you that my Canon Vixia HG 20 camcorder fits nicely, though with a very large battery it only just zips closed. There is no place to store larger accessories, such as an external microphone. My Panasonic FZ35 will not fit at all with the lens hood attached, and if I take that off, it is an extremely tight fit too tight for my comfort. Both of these are out of production, but comparison with either of these may give you a better idea whether this case would fit your particular camera.

The description for this case was "off" but I took the chance and ordered it based on the title (size reads 1x1x1 inch! which is obviously inaccurate!). Amazon is going to charge me at least half the price of what I paid for this bag to return it for refund, so I will keep it and maybe put our tiny video camera in it. Just want others to know that it will NOT work for a "superzoom" camera at least not mine (Canon SX50). This case is only for extremely compact cameras, and for that it would be a good buy. p.s. would LOVE it if anyone could recommend something that does work for the SX50. Thanks!

To start; this is not a bad review, I bought it in hope that it would fit the camera stated in the title.

The case itself is very well made, and if it does fit your camera, you will be very happy with it.

Original:

I bought this to fit the Canon SX50 HS camera, it arrived the day before we left on vacation.(me not thinking ahead!)

It is so close, but just does not fit the camera.

Such a shame as it would have been perfect. It was nice enough to keep I now have my GPS and all the accessories in it. so not a total loss.

Ended up going to best buy and picking up a Manfrotto one for 4 times the cost. ($30) due to departing the next morning.

Very nice, attractive exacting fit for my Finepix F600EXR (see the posted photo above, which shows the case with my F600EXR inside).

Just be aware that this case is not made of "genuine leather" as stated in the product description. Instead, it's made of high quality leather-looking synthetic material... and, it's very well-made at that. I bought it in pre-owned/ virtually unused condition for $10, which wasn't such a bad deal... for "pleather." So, all-in-all, I'm pleased with it. But, I had to rate it 4 instead of 5 stars because of the product description discrepancy as it is imitation and not real leather.

Discount Kata KT DC-445 Digital Case (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I needed a case for my new Nikon D3200 with a 18-55 MM and 55-300 MM lenses, Metz 50 AF-1 flash, flash diffuser, Nikon battery charger and extra battery, AA photo batteries, FotoSharp 20" Rain Cover, Giotto air blaster, another small Kodak D55 camera,and incidental stuff. All of these fit into this Kata KT DC-445 Digital Case (Black) with room to spare, but not too much. The case is smaller than I expected, based on the picture but ample. Well constructed and the placement of interior dividers are convenient, but not as flexible as I expected. The yellow interior is excellent and things are easy to see. Cover closes well and double zippers prevents items from falling out when open, while permitting easy access while carrying the case. Side pockets have full size section risers to also prevent items from falling out when the zippers are open. Zippers are well-made and stitching sturdy. Carry strap fits well and stays in place on shoulder. The case is VERY light, although the newer model is even lighter, but doesn't have the zippered side pockets. That's why I selected the DC-445. The warranty for Kata bags is excellent and they happen to be from the same corporation that makes the Metz flash unit products. If you want a sturdy case for one DSLR, lenses and items you need, this is a good choice. It does not have tripod carrying straps, but I don't need that feature anyway.

This review is about Kata KT DC-445 Digital Case (Black) .

My intention was to find a bag for short trips with limited amount and minimal weight of equipment.

For these trips I need camera, flash and two zoom lenses. Very important detail: My camera and I agreed that we'll never leave home without battery grip attached so bag must be wide enough to accomodate Nikon D700 + Nikon MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack.

My choice of lenses was Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 and Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR. Of course, I wanted to keep at least Tamron 28-75 mm attached and still have some space for Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash. I'm glad to report that DC-445 satisfied almost all my needs: Camera sits with attached Tamron looking down, flash and 70-300mm are very snug into their quarters.

Some spare space under camera is used for Black Rapid Straps RS4. That's it, problem solved.

However, some cons are still there: DC-445 is not tall enough to store D700 with Nikon 70-300 mm attached. Actually, I can squeeze this assembly at a price of keeping the lid zip fastener partially open. Also, I personally don't like the two-side zipper, too much fuss to open. I prefer some secure buckle to be able to unfasten it quickly in case of need.

Bottom line: Nice bag for configuration I described, light-weighted, has soft and convenient shoulder strap and last but not least: Looks neat and well shaped.

This is a very well made and well thought out bag. It holds a great deal more gear than it looks. My only recommendation is to have a quick release catch on the top so you can keep it closed without using the zipper.

Honest reviews on Kata KT DC-445 Digital Case (Black)

This is a very nice camera bag for the price.

The build quality is outstanding and the compartments are soft and have a nice feel to them.

My only complaint, and it's not really a big one is that the zippers can get stuck and need to be jiggled once in a while.

A little smoother action would have been nice, but again, not a big deal.

Great product overall!!

I first bought a Kata Bug-203 back pack on Amazon and loved the function and appearance of the bag and its high quality. But it was large and, when filled with equipment, heavy. It would be great for a wildlife expedition to carry lots of equipment including a long telephoto lens. So I decided that a large backpack was impractical for every-day carrying around and organizing equipment. Enter the Kata 445 bag . . .

I could not tell by looking at the online information how much equipment the 445 bag (or most other bags) really held. So I went to a local camera store that carries lots of Kata models in order to see for myself. I was pleased with the 445 and even more pleased after I brought it home and loaded my camera equipment into it. So far, with room to spare (it would hold two more lenses, my BlackRapid Sport camera strap, and odds and ends), here is what I have inside the bag: Nikon D800 camera body with 28-300mm zoom lens attached; 28-105 zoom lens; 28mm prime lens; 85mm prime lens; Op-Tech camera strap; cleaning cloth and bottle of cleaning fluid; spare battery; battery charger and power cord; memory card reader and cables; extra USB cable; Nikon pocket-sized camera guide;two large polarizing filters in their plastic cases; camera body and lens caps; memory cards and containers. Thus . . . camera with telephoto lens attached, plus three other lenses, plus room to spare.

I love that Kata has the same sense of quality, materials, appearance and design as Apple does with computers and devices such as the iPad and iPhone. The materials, handle, and strap are all high quality. All Kata bags have a bright yellow interior so you can quickly find your things. In the 445, the side pockets are so hidden in the exterior view that one would not realize they are there. Yet, they hold a lot of fairly flat things (they would easily hold filters and batteries).

So how do we get this room in a small package? Well, you might do it differently, because the interior dividers can be moved into different configurations depending on your equipment and sense of convenience. Here's what I did and what's in the bag before anything is inserted: There are six two-story pockets formed by the dividers. One of the center pockets does not have a "middle floor", so that the camera can lay lens-down into that space. This leaves five other "lower floor" pockets that hold my three lenses (with large lens hoods attached), plus my battery charger, memory card reader, and cables in the remaining two pockets (although they could have been moved to the outside side pockets if I had needed space for more lenses or flash units). The flaps between the "first and second floors" are such that all of the the six pockets will have a padded flap covering the lower level, except for the space filled by a lens attached to the camera body. The camera then lies face down in the "second floor". There would be room around even my D800 easily to hold a mounted battery grip, or one or two additional lenses.

And what about the inside of the top of the bag, and the sides? The top contains two flap-covered pockets (with stretch web interior pockets) that would hold many memory cards. Also inside the top, immediately below these two pockets, is a large see-through zippered pocket that holds, for example, lens and camera body caps and memory card holders. Inside one of the zippered outside edge pockets is space for documents (even a 300-page camera manual if you want) and two more stretchable mesh web pockets. I have my camera battery on one of them with lots of room to spare just in that one mesh interior pocket. The opposite edge of the camera bag has a similar zippered pocket with three interior pockets, but they are fabric pockets rather than mesh. This main zippered pocket is where I keep my two large polarizing filters (77mm and 67mm in their cases plus a bottle of cleaning fluid. I have a cleaning cloth in one of the three pockets inside this zippered compartment, and still I have two small pockets unused).

The bag is light yet sturdy (with large aluminum rings on each side for attaching the removable shoulder strap). Even with all my equipment in it, the bag does not feel heavy (much lighter-feeling that when the same equipment is in a back pack). Besides looking good, the practical benefits are that (1) my equipment is safely organized and stored (although I would not want to drop the bag on the floor--the equipment would be safer in my Bug-203 Kata backpack), and (2) the bag is so compact and light that I am much more apt to have my camera and lenses with me when picture-taking opportunities arise.

I hope this helps. I had procrastinated for a month in buying the Kata 445 because--although I liked its looks and compact size-I did not believe how much it would hold until I actually saw it. This bag goes right along side my cars and my iMac and my iPad and my iPhone as quality things that I am happy to have.

I bought the LowePro Magnum 400 AW bag in early December to use as a travel-lite case for smaller assignments. I have to say that this is one sturdy and solid case! I'm able to accommodate a D700 with 14-24 2.8 attached, a D300 with 17-55 2.8 attached, 70-200 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 50 1.4, 60 2.8 macro, and an SB-800 speedlight in the main compartment. The outer pockets hold my Pocket Wizard Plus II's, SD-8a, extra batteries, chargers, and lots of other stuff. There are several good ways to carry this bag around, and all feel very secure. Be warned, though...the bag gets HEAVY with so much stuff inside. All in all, I'm pleased.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am very impressed with the features and layout of the Lowepro Magnum 400 AW camera bag. Having spent the past several years toting my camera gear around in a Tamrac Pro 12, I was excited to see what Lowepro had to bring to the table in a similar sized shoulder bag.

The Lowepro Magnum 400 AW features plenty of room for lenses, flash, filters, two SLR or DSLR camera bodies manuals, and other accessories. The main compartment of the bag features velcro dividers that are foam padded and have a soft lining to keep the gear nestled into the bag without worry of damage. The dividers are moveable and can be arranged in any number of ways to suit your own gear and carry style. The camera bodies are carried vertically with the lens down with bag, which I am not used to, and doesn't seem quite as stable as the horizontal carry style with lens cradled underneath and from the sides, which is how I'm used to carrying them in the Tamrac Pro 12. Whether one style of holding the camera is better than other I cannot say, but the Lowepro bag does seem to make reaching in and grabbing the camera slightly easier, due ot the camera's orientation in the bag. In the cover of the main compartment are two zippered see-through pockets that are handy for keeping small reference manuals, business cards, or other non-bulky materials.

As for camera fit, I was able to fit my Nikon D300 inside and it felt perfect with the size of the compartment. Trying out my other cameras in the 2nd camera compartment, I found my Nikon N80, Nikon F3HP, and Nikkormat FT3 were a bit on the smallish side compared to the digital SLR's of today, and as such felt small inside the bag's camera compartment and would shift around quite easily, though this would cause no damage to anything as the dividers and padding would prevent any contact with other items in the bag.

The front zippered compartment has several small pouches sewn in to hold your accessories, such as pens, batteries, cables, and other items of interest. A zippered mesh pouch is also provided in the flap, which is a great place to store anything else that won't fit into the smaller pouches. I was able to fit most of my accessories in the front without any issue, though there was less space there than in my previous bag, so it took a little reorganizing to get everything placed conveniently. The side pockets are also spacious and the flaps zipper open a good 3/4th of the way around the pockets to provide easy access to anything you store inside these side pockets.

The exterior of the camera bag is touted as being water resistant, but anywhere there are zippers (these are non self-sealing zippers) there is a chance for water to leak in. Even keeping the exterior treated with a coating of camp-dry or other waterproofing spray will not completely eliminate the chance of water leaking in through any of the zippers, or soaking through fabric where the treatment has worn off. This is not a major issue with the Lowepro Magnum 400 AW camera bag however, as the innovative folks at Lowepro have managed to stash a little goody in the back pocket of the bag. Unzip the back pocket and out comes a waterproof rain cover that covers the entire bag, top and sides, keeping the heaviest of rains from getting into the camera bag. This is a great feature for outdoor photographers who take chances of getting stuck in a sudden downpour when out and about. Of course, I wouldn't go leaving the bag out unsheltered if at all possible, and you aren't going to want to set the bag down where water will pool around the base. This is still a fabric bag, and will not be 100% sealed from the elements like a bulky Pelican case would be.

There are plenty of carry choices with this bag, from a luggage carrier sleeve, to dual handles on either side of the lid, a single handle in the center of the lid, or a very thick, well padded shoulder strap with metal attaching hardware. Also found on the exterior of the bag are a couple of tripod straps, which hold the tripod at the back of the bag, but off the ground. This is a huge improvement over my Tamrac Pro 12 which holds the tripod at the bottom rear of the bag, making it the first thing to clunk down on the ground when setting the bag down. Kudos to the folks at Lowerpro for the excellent, well thought out placement of the tripod straps!

In addition, the Lowerpro Magnum 400 AW is digital friendly and came with a removable pouch that holds extra memory cards, batteries, and even enough room for a Firewire or USB card reader. Also of note is that this camera bag meets size requirements for carry-on baggage when flying is the method of travel. Overall, the bag is rugged, well built, with sturdy hardware, and overall is very well thought out in terms of functionality, durability, equipment protection, and ease of use. This bag has by far exceeded any expectations I could have wished for from a camera bag of this type.

Best Deals for Lowepro Magnum 400 AW Camera Bag

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This bag is large. In comparison to the Pro Runner 200 AW, this bag is approximately 2.5X bigger. It is has about 3.5x 4x the space of the Slingshot 100 I use frequently (see image I posted). To use this bag, you need to be hauling pro level equipment, and several cameras. The construction of the bag is second to none. The material it is made from is rip stop, and very tough. The shoulder strap it comes with is thick and you won't have fear of it breaking when fully loaded. There are a few really great features this bag incorporated:

1) Sleeve for a hand trolley. If you are fully loaded and want to use a hand cart, this will help.

2) Built in rain flap. Being from Seattle...this is a key component.

3) Fully adjustable interior. Very awesome how you can move the interior. IF you have a mid sized video camera, you could easily adjust this bag to work.

4) Pockets everywhere! On all side, interior, etc... You won't run out of useful space.

5) Separate small bag for personal goods and CF cards. Slots for 4 CF cards and your wallet. Real convenient and a nice surprise.

6) The interior dimensions are about 14" x 10" x 11" high. Lots of room... With pockets, you get a lot more room than this though.

Overall...you need to be hauling a lot of stuff to really find use for this bag. If you are a pro or semi-pro working with a lot of equipment, you really can't beat the design of the 400 AW Magnum... I will use my Slingshot and Pro Runner 200AW a whole lot more...but this serves it's purpose well.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Magnum 400 AW Camera Bag

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Even though I looked at the measurments, I was still pleasantly surprised by how big this bag was in person.

No problem holding two DSLR cameras with lenses attached, one side will hold my Canon 40D with grip and a 100-400 lens attached, other side had dividers/camera supports for shorter zoom lenses mounted on a body, but I'm sure you could buy a pair of the taller dividers if you needed to carry two with long lenses.

All the dividers will come out so you can redo interior to fit as you need it to.

Only thing to note is that the largest divider going side to side only has the hook and loop material covering one side fully, other side just has a strip in the center going top to bottom.

Also, hook and loop material on the back wall comes within 1 1/4" of the side walls on both sides, but should not limit your setup of dividers IMO.

Nice touch adding a microfiber cloth sewn in to cover the backs of two cameras for protection from scratches.

Top notch materials used thoughout this bag as well as reinforcement panels and lots of double row stitching where needed. Lots of padding with extra in the top and bottom panels.

Love the fact that they use a hard shell bottom plate(tray)on the bag so not only do you not need to worry about the odd stone when you set it down, but it also gives you that extra waterproofing that you need if the ground is wet or damp.

This hard shell comes up 1 1/4" on all sides also.

Sewn in weather cover is wonderful and can be pulled out and put away in very short order, a very real usable feature if weather turns bad.

Nice wide shoulder strap with 1" x 3" padded area to conform to your shoulder, seems very comfortable.

Please see my uploaded photos for more details.

No wonder they have been selling bags for so many years.. Man, I'm going to love using this bag!

Update;

After some use, the only thing I don't like so far is that the tripod/monopod carry straps are on the top of the bag and if one is mounted, it will cause a problem using any of the three great handles there, my work around is to use the luggage cart straps in the rear to pull my monopod towards the rear of the top and away from the carry handles.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Let me begin my noting that I have been a devoted user of Domke camera bags for almost 30 years. I hauled my Nikon F2s and F3s across the US and Great Britain in them. I still have the first Domke I bought. I figured I'd be a devoted Domke user for as long as I carried cameras. Then I got my Magnum 400.

I knew Lowepro made quality bags, of course. I've actually been thinking about getting one of their backpacks for nature photography. When I was offered a chance to get a Magnum 400 for review, I figured it couldn't hurt to have another bag around, and I might even find it useful. It's that, and more.

First of all, this is one seriously large bag. I can carry two DSLRs with lenses attached, another 3-6 lenses, flash, charger, notepad, filters (there's even a separate accessory bag!), CF cards, reflectors... this thing is huge, and it's only the middle bag in the series. The camera compartments even have special microfiber cloths attached for cleaning your DSLR LCD screens (or filters and lenses, if you keep the the cloths scrupulously clean). There are four external compartments as well. The front compartment has pockets to organize pens and pencils, flash cards, cords and other small items, and it's big enough to fit my Asus 700 netbook. The side compartments are also very bigbig enough to carry the folding reflectors I like to use.

This bag has first rate protection for your gear, too. The padding is thick and stiffa must for today's cameras, which generally aren't quite as rugged as the F1s and F2s of yesteryear. The base of the bag has a stiffer, rigid foam, to protect the contents against accidental dropssomething missing from my Domkes. The interior dividers are surprisingly solid, too. And in the back, a compartment that zips open to reveal a waterproof cover that can be pulled out and over the bag in a rainstormno need for a separate cover.

I just keep finding more features on this bag, and they're all well-thought-out features designed to fill real needs, not gimmicks. For instance, there's a wide strap across the back of the bag that had me puzzled. Turns out it's designed to slide over the telescoping handles typically found on modern luggage. You can place your camera bag right on top of your suitcase and wheel the two together, instead of trying to wrestle with two bags.

I used to organize my gear into two Domke F1 bags, and carry another bag for accessories, but now just about all the photo gear I travel with can be carried in this one case. As I noted, it's the middle bag in the Magnum line. There's also a 200, for one camera and accessories, and a larger 650 that has a dedicated laptop computer pocket in the lid as well as even more storage space. Now this is not a walking-around bagit's way too big for that. But for travel and storage, it's absolute ideal. This is a tremendously well made, practical, bags, designed by a company that really listens closely to photographers.

UPDATE: The bag currently contains:

Nikon D70

Nikon D80

2 zoom lenses

2 fixed lenses

two spare batteries

battery charger

Nikon SB-600 flash unit

Remote flash cord

flash bracket

2 folding reflectors

spare memory cards

Spare AA batteries (for the SB-600)

...and there's still room. I've also ordered a Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200 to compliment this bag. Now the gear gets kept in the Magnum 400 for storage, and travel, and the Stealth Reporter will carry just what I need on a day outing.

UPDATE: It's been nearly three years, and I still use this bag, though now it's more for storage than for travel. I sold all my Nikon DSLR gear and replaced it with Micro Four-Thirds geartwo bodies and four lenses so far. The MFT gear doesn't take up a lot of room, but the bag allows me to store the cameras when I'm not using them, along with the lenses, chargers, flash units, a meter, spare batteries, older lenses with adapter... and more.

This is the first time I purchase a soft case for a camera. I was more used to fitted leather cases such as those that canon sells or used to sell (I dunno if they are still available) for their point and shoot's.

I think this case looks pretty nice for a rugged camera (I still think the leather fitted ones are more elegant). It's light, has nice padding and choice of "how you can wear it"... a carabiner and a belt loop, which is the feature I love most about this case. As I stated earlier, I used to always carry canon point and shoot cameras on my waist. A fitted leather cases that has a belt loop will allow you to pull out and store back your camera much like drawing a gun from its holster. One handed, easy access/operation. That's the negative when using a soft case... it's more time consuming to unzip (which generally means using both hands) and access your camera... same goes for putting it away. However, using the carabiner is pretty cool (except for accessing the camera). I like how, when using the carabiner, the camera will sit lower than your waist and if you are wearing a jacket or a regular sized backpack even and you chose to hang the camera toward the back of your waist, the camera won't be in the way. Also, going through airport security means you won't have to take your belt off in order to get the camera off your waist. The little storage compartment came in handy to transport a set of ear buds, extra battery and SD card. As for how much the padding will/would help in the event of dropping the camera... I guess if you knock it off a table top your camera should survive unscratched (Don't try this, for I am only guessing!!!)

If you are wondering how spacious this pouch/case is... I am using it with an Olympus TG-820 and it fits loose. It could carry a slightly bigger camera without a problem.

Hope this helps anyone who is considering purchasing this case.

I saw this case on Amazon and was wondering how my TG-2 would fit in it. I had read other reviews that used it with the TG-1. The TG-2 is slightly larger. I went to Walmart and saw the exact case there so I was able to try it out. My camera fits perfectly in it. When wearing on my belt, I can barely feel the camera and case. To my amazement Walmart sells this case for only $9. It is very seldom I find a Brick & mortar store to be cheaper than Amazon. I'm sure Amazon will correct the pricing soon.

This case is very well made with adequate padding for protecting delicate cameras. It has a loop for wearing on a belt, a tiny caribiner for hanging, and the zipper on the pocket is nicely recessed hiding it from obvious view. Accessory Genie shipped it very fast and seems to go out of its way to ensure satisfaction. Made in Veitnam.

Works fine, I even use it when my float strap is still attached, I just let it hang out of the case when it is zipped up. The lens on this camera does not have a closer so the case really becomes a needed item.

There is not much impact resistance in this nylon case, but it is a good size and has nice pockets for extra batteries and memory cards.

This cover is exactly what I needed to protect my pentax w80.

it does not cover the lcd screen. but protects the other parts from dust and scratches which was my main concern .

for the lcd screen , I recommend that you purchase a transparent adhesive as I 've seen that glasses or plastic do not work well.

you don't need it. It doesn't cover or protect the lcd screen on the back; everything you'd want to "protect" is exposed. Also makes it hard to fit in a camera case that fits the camers.

I researched camera bags that are also "backpacks" or day-trip bags for a long time before purchasing; I never saw a review for this particular bag anywhere online, so I felt I needed to leave a review for anyone else considering it. What I needed was a bag that would securely hold my camera (Canon Rebel T2i) but that didn't look like a "camera bag" (for safety reasons), that has space for personal items (water bottle, snack, guidebook, wallet, etc.), that was comfortable to wear for hours at a time, and that fit me and felt secure (so it wouldn't be stolen off of me). Overall, I am very happy with this bag. My camera does not move or shift in the padded space. The bag does not look like a traditional "camera bag"; the attractive rust-orange color helps with that, as does the slimmer size. There is a side mesh pocket for a water bottle, though my taller bottle fell out a couple times while taking the bag on and off; I was able to fit a small guidebook, map, snack, passport, and tissue pack in the personal space area at top with no trouble (and still had room in the dedicated camera-area, as I did not travel with extra camera accessories). The strap is nicely padded and comfortable. The length and width of this bag was perfect for me to wear (I'm 5'3"; similar bags by Vanguard and other makers seemed too long when I measured them for me). This bag has an additional narrow strap that can be buckled into the one padded strap for extra security; I used this strap often while traveling through crowded Barcelona and on the metro. Additionally, I really like how this bag swings around so I can access the camera; this is easy enough to do (I'm right-handed) and I primarily use this side zipper to get at the camera, as opposed to the front pocket (which is very securely closed and buckled). I don't think the bag is completely water-proof; after being in the rain for about an hour or so there was some minor wetness to the guidebook in the top personal space area, though not in the dedicated camera space.

I love this pack. I wanted something that I could access without removing, so a backpack was out. The messenger bag gets old carrying after a while. A waist pack is too small and looks silly. So a sling pack was perfect.

I researched a lot and tried a couple on that I could find local before ordering this one. I'm glad I picked this one. Size-wise its in-between the small and medium lowepro slings so its a good compromise if you can't decide between those two.

It holds snug enough on my body that when walking it doesn't bounce around. I love being able to swing it around and pull the camera out quickly, it takes less than 5 seconds if you rush but not much more taking your time. If I have to I can swap lenses without taking it off too, but I prefer to set it down to perform this just in case.

Inside it has more than enough room for my Nikon D5100, attached lens, 2 extra lens, and accessories. The dividers are movable and removable so I can rearrange the compartments if needed.

A big factor as to why I chose this bag over the others was the pack doesn't scream "I have a nice expensive camera inside" to the casual observer. It looks just like a day pack that could hold anything. Also the excess fabric from the straps is contained with velcro and elastic which is nice.

If I could add one thing it would be tripod straps, but I knew it didn't have them when I ordered it, so I'll live. I can add them if I need to.

Overall this is the best accessory for my camera thus far.

Bought this for my first DSLR (Canon Rebel T2i) and very happy with my purchase. The bag is compact (a little smaller than I expected, but I didn't check the exact measurements when I bought it), it's well-designed and puts me at ease carting my camera around. The sling design with easy-access compartments works really well. The main compartment has space for the camera with zoom lens attached (i have a 55-250mm and it could fit something slightly longer) plus a sub-compartment for one standard lens it's a snug fit for my 18-55mm, which means I have to keep the zoom lens either attached to the camera in the main compartment, or in the other top compartment where it wouldn't be as well protected, especially if I want to keep other accessories in there. That's my only issue, but if you're just carrying around 2 lenses it's sufficient. I paid $35 which seems a pretty fair price for the size, I wouldn't have wanted to pay more than that. Overall a good buy.

Honest reviews on Vanguard BIIN 47 Backpack (Black)

I bought this because we were going on a trip that would involve small children and lots of walking. My camera bag was an over the sholder type and I needed something less bulky and easier to carry. This really delivered in that department. I would have given it 5 stars, but there were a couple of things (probably minor) I didn't like about it.

Pros:

Great over the shoulder, sling pack.

I loved that I could just twist it from my back around to my front and have easy access to my camera through the side zipper.

It can be adjusted to fit snuggly and even strapped around your waist to be even more secure.

Seemed to be pretty roomy if you only need to carry your basic SLR and one lens in the bottom half of the pack. The top half would probably hold one more if that were the only thing stored in the top.

It does not have the "valuable camera and accessories stored in here" appearance, so I felt more secure with it.

Padded nicely.

Compact and a great price.

Cons:

There is not much divided space in either compartment. I had to rip out the velcro pads from my other camera bag to make this bag fit my needs.

There is no "fuzzy material" that the camera bag pads velcro to on the sides of the bag, only on the back. This made any of the pads I put in flimsy and not as secure as I would like. I plan to remedy that myself by stitching some in.

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase, I would buy it again if I had a choice because it really is a nice bag for the price.

I bought this bag after much debate, I probably took a few weeks reading reviews and watching videos, I finally just decided to get this bad, and am pretty happy with it. The price I believe to be a bit high, but over all I like this bag it suits my needs. It is small so my camera and a average sized lens can fit, there is a pocket on the top perfect for the charger and anything you need to store so you don't have to take a purse.

Very prompt service. Arrived 4 days from placing order. Strap snap wasn't a tight fit. A rivet was put in next to snap + is more secure. All in all, a good buy, worth the $.
