This camera case works perfect with my Canon T3 DSLR camera. I was looking for something small to use as a dust cover for my camer when it is not in use around the house. This fits the bill.

Smaller then I expected, but it fits my t3i perfectly with a few cords, ect. Luckily, i have an other case that can hold all the rest of my camera accessories, but this one is good for a walk around the city or a weekend trip.

The size is just perfect for my SLR camera. There are multiple pockets to fit all the camera accessories. And the bag is light weight. So its just perfect.

Honest reviews on Case Logic DSLR Camera Holster TBC-406

I use this bag for traveling with my Olympus OM-D EM5 with a Zuiko Digital 14-54mm II lens mounted (with the Olympus MMF3 adapter and lens hood reversed). It is a perfect fit with the lens mounted that way, along with a third party hand grip attached the Olympus OM-D.

Typically I use one of the side pockets for my Panasonic Leica 25mm lens, the other side pocket for the lens hood of the 25mm lens, and the front pocket for my Olympus FL-300R flash and a couple of spare AAA batteries. The internal pocket is used for storing lens caps and spare SD cards.

In summary, this is the perfect case for my travel needs!

This is the perfect case for my Sony TX20 digital camera! I love that it has a metal clip so I can clip it to my belt loops or the inside of my purse. It's made of nice silicon, so I know it can't take extreme abuse. But I am very careful with my electronics so this case is just perfect for me! Price was excellent too! Much cheaper here, than buying it at the Sony Outlet, where I originally saw it.

I thought the case would come with a way to keep it closed on top (zipper) but it does not. You slide the camera an and upper position stays open, which made me worry it might fall out but it has not. It does stays snuggle like a glove on the camera so far so good.

This case fits my DSC-TX66 very well. I was hoping to bring this case with me on the beach in Mexico this summer. However, the description says its waterproof. I don't see how when the case has holes in it. Also, it doesn't close so the camera can easily slide out and sand can get into case. I love the bright pink and the clip. I will be keeping it.

I purchased the Deuter camera case so that I would have my digital camera handy to take pictures. My Canon powershot elph fit into it without any problems. The bag secured by velcro around my backpack strap (both a Deuter backpack & others were OK) or belt. It fully protects the camera so it is wider than the Deuter phone bag (which I also have). There is room in it to put extra storage disks. You could put your phone in it instead I suppose also. Overall, I like it.

Try to stuff a full frame DSLR in the Day Holster and it won't close. When you pull it out, the lens cap stays behind. I have a CANON 5D Mark III and the flap won't even come across to the other side when you try to shut the top of the Day Holster. This bag is more for the lower end Rebel SLR cameras and otherwise smaller SLR bodies. It would have been nice had Case Logic stated that it couldn't accommodate the full frame DSLRs and I would have expected such caveats and it was probably why I didn't bother to compare the dimensions.

Bought this case after going through quite a few other cases and backpacks to hold our Canon t3i. Found that backpacks and sling bags may work great for hiking and getting your camera to a place where you are going to be taking pictures but not taking many pictures along the journey.

It was really nice to have the larger outer case to hold extra lenses, charger, memory cards, etc. and the camera in the protective sleeve. That got us from home to our destination, then when we were walking around we were able to keep the camera in the protective sleeve/holster and use the camera strap for easy access to any quick snap scenario we may have encountered. (We have a 1 year old so they are plentiful!)

It takes a long time to get the camera in and out of some of the other cases we tried and with the ability to hang the holster from the strap while you are taking pictures then just slide the camera back in and move on, this case has proved to be the best we have found.

I can see if you have quite a bit of gear (lenses, external flash, etc) this case may fall short on storage, but our setup with a 18-135mm zoom lens attached and a 55-250mm as a rare use lens, this case was leaps and bounds better than others we tried.

I bought this for my Nikon D5100. The case is very well built and looks pretty cool. It's nice that it does'nt advertise what's inside like "NIKON" or "CANON" on the outside. No point in giving potential thieves too much information. The case itself holds the camera securely and provides ample padding for any bumps that may occur. I'm not sure what would happen it were dropped though. It does have a solid plastic bottom that is nice for setting the bag down without it tipping over or getting wet from puddles or wet grass. The side pouches are big enough for a couple of extra lenses and hoods. The front pouch will hold small accessories and the rear pouch is good for thin items like lens pens and cleaning cloths. The inner pouch has a removable case that can stay with the camera. It's nice for shielding the camera from mist or dust. It has a loop for attaching it to the camera strap but this is a little awkward when taking pictures. It's best just to take it totally off the camera and store it in the case when taking photos.

Honest reviews on Case Logic DM-1000 DSLR Travel Pack

Like any other camera bag, fit it going to depend upon your gear. For me, this is a great bag to go hiking with and keep everything securely in place. My Nikon D7000 with 18-105mm lens fit perfectly in the main compartment. There are two side slots for additional lenses/flashes, however, what you decide to put in these compartments will matter. I found that when I have my camera packed, along with a 50mm prime and 10-20mm wide angle, it's a bit difficult to get the lenses out as it's a rather right fit. The prime lens is small and it sits down further making it difficult to get out without removing the camera first. However, if you're using a smaller DSLR, say a 3100/5100 or the Canon Rebels, you won't have a problem at all fitting two lenses in comfortably. This is why I gave this 4 out of 5 stars. It really depends on your camera. If you have a larger DSLR, I really wouldn't plan on having the room to carry two additional lenses, so the description is somewhat misleading.

I love the fact that this has a separate sleeve for your camera. I was going to buy one anyhow and it's nice that it's included in this.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera bag is built to hold a camera and two extra lenses. There is also a small compartment up front for a charger or what-not and a mesh zippered area on the back. It's definitely sturdy but a little bigger than I had hoped. At first the bulk stopped me from using it for day-trips, but it's perfect for longer trips when you need a little bit more with you. The inner sleeve is nice if you want it it adds extra protection while the camera is in the bag and pops out and can protect your camera if you're just taking that on the go. Obviously, it's meant for a bigger lens, actually, the whole bag is set up for someone with larger lenses (it easily holds my Canon 24-70mm, 100mm macro, and a 70-300mm zoom), but it will be too small to hold the longest zooms, and if you're carting around a 35mm or 50mm prime, you're wasting a lot of space.

Once again, it's outstanding feature is it's ruggedness. The zippers are strong, the nylon fabric is tough, and the bottom is made of stiff soft-touch plastic that should make it ok for setting down on damp surfaces. There's a cushioned handle and a shoulder strap as well. The strap is actually the weak link here, as its's thin and the pad slides around a lot, but it's hardly a deal-breaker.

Eynpire Camera Leather Camera Case For Nikon Coolpix P7000
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I have been using this case for about a month now. Overall, I am very pleased with it. There are really only two things that I don't care for.

(1) I don't believe the case is leather, as it is described. It has a lightweight velvet-type interior, which is fine, but the exterior of the case feels, smells, and looks like artificial leather or plastic of some sort. I would love this case to be made of a good quality leather befitting such an expensive camera. (2) The case is just a little loose fitting. Even though it does snap into place very well, there is almost enough space to put a finger in between the edge of the case and the camera body on each side toward the top of the camera.

On the positive side I love that the case screws solidly onto the camera with a tripod-mountable screw on the bottom of the case. I also love that the two snaps on the bottom sides of the case make it possible to take quick pictures without completely removing the case; while allowing easy access to all of the camera's controls. It's very easy to open and close.

Overall, I feel that the case is reasonably priced and well constructed. If you prefer an "Ever-Ready" style case over different styles, I believe this is the best case on the market for the P7000 as of 2/20/11. If Nikon ever makes a case in this style, it would very likely be much better quality and real leather. In that case, I would gladly pay more for the higher quality and better fit.

Since the Nikon P7000 is a small, but not pocket sized camera, one needs a protective case to carry it. At the risk of dating myself, I was hoping for an old-timey tight-fitting leather case like I recall from the 35 millimeter film days. These cases came (often as options) with rangefinder cameras and early consumer SLRs (for the majority of shooters who rarely or never used anything but their 50mm prime lens). They were pretty standard gear because the strong protection these cases provided in a very light, tight-fitting form factor, was like clothing for your camera. This case is almost exactly what I was hoping for, albeit with a couple qualifications.

First, in re the controversy in other reviews as to the material, whatever it is it's good enough for me. If it's fake leather, it's a real good fake. It even smells like leather (um, gee, maybe it's leather!). The heft and strength and protective capability of the case are all satisfyingly solid. The snaps are large and well-bedded, and everything looks solidly attached, and nicely stitched and finished, both on the exterior and in the velvet lined interior.

Now for the qualifications: Digital cameras are a lot harder to design covers for than the cameras of old, as they have a big screen on the back, and a lot of widely dispersed buttons sprinkled around them. While it was easy to keep a hook on the back of a film camera to let the top cover hang, the designer of this digital camera case has fewer places to hold onto, and so provides two ways to "hang" the top cover while taking pictures. One can either open the case at the bottom snap and hinge it back on it's side snaps, folding the case under (preferred); or one can leave just the bottom snap attached (likely to create a sharp bend in the material sure to reduce the life of the case). Either feels awkward at first, but the former (hinge) method seems to be something that works comfortably, though it takes a little getting used to. One can also, obviously, remove the top cover and set it aside (or pocket it).

The other thing about using a case like this that's different in the digital realm, is that in a film camera, most "consumer" shooters didn't have to (i.e. couldn't afford to) remove the case to get the film out very often. In a digital camera however, one is incessantly feeding the camera a steady stream of recharged batteries and memory cards. One has to remove this case to get to the battery/card door (and or cable connections, for those of you who plug in to transfer pictures & etc). Removing the case for this access, while a minor chore, IS an inconvenience. It's too bad they couldn't figure out a way to provide a battery / card door in the case! -and that's why I didn't give this case five stars.

Best Deals for Eynpire Camera Leather Camera Case For Nikon Coolpix P7000

The official case sold in the US for the Nikon P7000 is a nice case, but too small to actually hold the camera.

I was hoping to like this case. I think that the design of the case is great for protecting the camera but will surely slow me down when I want to take photos. The case adds an additional inch to the thickness of the camera.

I bought a Tamrac MX5383 to hold the Nikon P7000 and it is just about the perfect size. It is easy to get the camera out immediately. Its drawback is that it's rough canvas -not as nice as fake leather.

The case in this review looks pretty good and certainly has a better finish, but the camera feels a bit clumsy with the case attached. You have to worry about the top part of the case, which just hangs from a single snap. I prefer the raw camera.

Several doors in the camera are covered by this case, which may or may not be a problem, depending on your need to access them. Taking the case off to provide access means that you have to keep track of the two halves of the case.

I was brought back to reality today when I tried to return this item. If it's not sold by Amazon, then you don't get the wonderful return policy of Amazon. I'll just keep it, whether or not I use it and get on with life.

Honest reviews on Eynpire Camera Leather Camera Case For Nikon Coolpix P7000

I returned it immediately. I do not know what camera this was designed for, but it certainly WAS NOT for a Nikon P7000!

The product was 1/4 inch too small in ALL dimensions. It was designed to be held on with the tripod screw socket. The problem was, the screw in the case was 1 3/8 inches too far to the right! Finally, the assembly and stitching was very poor. Keep in mind this was not made by Nikon or made for them.

I purchased this case along with the P7000 in October 2010 and immediate took a trip or two or three with it. The case, all snapped on, does a fine job of protecting the camera. With similar looking cases on SLR's, though, I'd been accustomed to just letting the section over the lens dangle from the part that fits the body. That doesn't work with this design. After considerable experimentation and fiddling about, I learned that when I'm in shooting mode, I should completely detach the section over the lens, stick it in my backpack and just walk around with the camera in the body piece. That has proven to be much more usable.

The looser fit mentioned by other reviewers has allowed me to attach the viewer protector. It also gives me room to slide my finger in to hit the two preset buttons next to the lens. Cutouts for the latter would have been better, but at least this works, and my camera is still protected.

The body section is easily removable in the field for changing batteries and SD cards. I'd buy it again, and have recommended the case along with the camera to others.

I just returned form two weeks in Alaska and found the Lowepro Vertex 300 was what I expected from Lowepro. I found that it easily stored in the overhead bin and was easy to carry in the field. I carried a Nikon D100 and F100 both with the extended battery packs, a 170-500mm Sigma Telephoto, two additional lenses, an Epson P-3000, DX-80 Flash, various Cokin filters, extra batteries, chargers, flashlight, 20 rolls of film, manuals, tools, canned air and a Gitzo 2530 with no problem. So, as you can see I had just about everything but the kitchen sink! The ability to carry this by it's top strap made it easy to get around. The build quality is very good also. I will purchase Lowepro again!

After a week in Yellowstone National Park doing day hikes (70 miles of trails in 7 days)and carrying the Lowepro Vetex 300 AW loaded with video equipment I am happy to say it passes with flying colors.

One comment though that I hope makes it to the LowePro people is to begin to pay more attention to the needs of the mobile video community. More on this later.

I was carrying a Panasonic HVX200, high definition, a hand-held form factor video camera, three Focus Enhancements DTE FS-100 portable digital video recorders, a .6x wide angle adapter and a large, heavy 2x telephoto adapter both by Century Precision Optics and a set of rods for mounting the telephoto adapter. Of course there was the full complement of batteries, lens cleaning acessories and a small Pentax 7.1 megapixel point and shoot camera.

The tripod I carried was quite a bit heavier and bulkier than a typical still camera tripod. For HD video a heavy fluid head and stout sticks are necessary, even with image stabilization on, to get clean video. Using a telephoto adapter this is especially important.

My total weight load was between 35 and 40 pounds and I must say that the Vertex 300 AW was comfortable beyond belief! I have been backpacking since before the invention of the internal frame pack (almost 40 years) and this pack under load was as comfortable as any I have ever carried. In addition when adjusted and cinched properly the Vetex 300 AW was as stable as any pack I have worn. Even climbing 700 feet in ohe-half mile on a narrow trail the pack was comfortable and stable and truely a joy to carry.

I could easily have carried more weight, if this pack could stand up to more. I have not been able to find any maximum-load recommendations on the LowePro website so I do not know if I exceeded the recommendations of LowePro and/or the design specs, but I could have easily shouldered more weight using this well designed pack.

LowePro should give a bit more thought to design for video camera carriers. The Vertex 300 AW is rated to carry a "professional" video camera. The shoulder mount form factor of most pro cameras (like the ones you see TV news videographers carying) make the cameras larger than the Panasonic HVX200 that I was carrying and I cannot imagine there is enough room in the Vertex 300 AW for a pro camera, unless the lens is detached. That is something the vast majority of videographers are NOT willing to do on a regular basis as a crew travels, sets up, shoots, breaks down and travels again. So I cannot recommend to pros that this pack would be roomy enough. However if the camera you are using is the hand-held form factor this pack is great!

One other concern must be addressed for video camera use with the Vertex 300 AW. Video tripods are generally heavier and bulkier than a still camera tripod. The HD head on mine (a Manfrotto 503HDV with Manfrotto 35-1MVB2 sticks)makes up about half the weight I was carrying. Because the head is so heavy, for stability it has to be carried head down (tripod feet up). The Vertex 300 AW comes with an adjustable and removable attachment that holds two feet of the tripod at the pack's bottom. This is great for my still camera tripod, but two feet of my video tripod do not fit into the attachment. In addition because of the weight of the head I had to carry the tripod head down. Using a couple bungee cords and the straps that are part of the pack I was easily able to attach the tripod and carry it comfortably. I hope LowePro comes up with a simplier solution.

As far as air travel, even stuffed to the gills the Vertex 300 AW fit into overhead bins with ease.

This is a great, comfortable, stable pack if you need to carry a great deal of equipment and long distance and keep it safe this is the pack for you.

I recently went on a 3-week cross country RV-styled trip and took this bag along to handle photography equipment and my 17" macbook pro (uni-body style). It worked well for me.

the laptop fits just fine, and if you're needing to shove something else in with the machine (a book for instance) it can accomodate that, though i get nervous of the screen taking more impact than it normally would.

the exterior compartments do well to hold misc items (headphones, point and shoot camera, etc), and the interior storage is more than adequate. I actually didn't take a whole lot of photography equipment, but it was intentional to give me a pack that could handle photo gear along with all of the other miscellaneous items that i had along (books, point-and-shoot cameras, batteries, chargers, etc, etc.

it has a shoulder strap covering panel so you can zip it up if you don't want to have the shoulder carrying straps get caught on things, and it has a waterproof, cinch-down covering in case you go hiking in the rain. speaking of rain, the zippers are the rubberized, waterproof looking variety (I haven't tested it yet in wetness).

the shoulder straps fit well and the waist band is broad to help offload the weight from your back.

it's spendy, for sure, but i think it'll last quite a while and suit my needs well. I don't think I have anything bad to say about the bag. it's only the price that made me swallow hard.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Vertex 300 AW Backpack

I am heading to China for a year and needed a bag to carry a substantial amount of my photo equipment

on the plane and the Lowepro Vertex 300 AW Backpack does the job nicely. One is able to move the velcro

dividers and adjust the interior of the bag to meet ones storage needs. Also, there are added compartments for miscellaneous items adding to it's versatility.

This bag is definitely for someone who needs to travel with a lot of equipment for an assignment or for an extended photo trip. If you need a bag for walking around with two or three lenses and a DSLR /SLR then honestly this might just be too much bag.

I am able to pack away quite comfortably the following:

Nikon D300s body w/battery grip

Nikon D3s body

50mm lens

85mm lens

180mm lens

28mm-75mm lens

80mm 400mm lens

8mm fisheye lens

12mm 24mm lens

2x teleconverter

15" MacBook Pro

SB800 speedlight

Light Meter

Nikon SC-28 cord

Battery Charger

70" tripod

an international electrical plug adapter kit

various filters, flash memory cards, dust cloths, etc....

I have used Lowepro products before and have always been happy with their quality. I have been caught out in the rain and snow before and their bags have always protected my equipment. As far as airport carry on back pack camera bags that carry a great deal of equipment it does not get much better.

Lowepro gets it right, February 11, 2009

I have had Lowepro backpacks for many years and always loved how they fit me and how practical their compartments & configuration were. I bought my Tamrac camera backpack 4 years ago and it is also a nice backpack but I outgrew it and on a recent trip to Europe, it developed a split on one side. A couple other photographers in Europe were using various Lowepro Vertex packs and I soon bought the Vertex 300 AW to upgrade and replace my Tamrac.

I dont know why I didn't get a Lowepro to begin with as I knew their reputation and my own experiences with their packs. It is simply a great backpack and fits 2 DSLRs, 100-400mm, 70-200mm, 100mm macro, 24-70mm, 17-40mm, 10-22mm, 580EX & 430EX flash, Macro ring light and all my CF cards, batteries, card readers, & my 15.4 inch laptop (although it will fit a 17").

The straps are easy to control and snugs up tight & comfortable making this heavy load easy to carry.

It is harder to pick this loaded backpack off the floor than it is to carry it on your back.

It also comes with 2 pull out covers: 1. for covering the belt/shoulder straps for storing in overhead bins, etc.. & 2. a rain cover that covers the entire backpack to keep everything inside protected from rain/weather. I love this feature as I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot here.

On top of all this is a tripod carrier that is also easy to position and use.

I highly recommend this pack but will warn that when it is full, it is very heavy. Lowepro Vertex 300 AW Backpack

This is a great bag of very high quality. I bought this bag, so it could fit my gripped 50D with my 70-200 f/4 fitted.

Also, I wanted a bag that would hold misc. items beside the camera. One specific thing was a book. The front pocket fits a book of any size, which is perfect since I read a lot when travelling.

The main compartment holds my gripped 50D and any of my lenses fitted. Besides my 50D, I own a sigma 10-20, 50mm F1.8 and the canon 17-55mm f/2.8. I plan to get a 60mm macro as well, this will still fit inside the bag, although it is getting heavy. Main compartment is divided in three: One in the middle for the camera and lens fitted, and two others of equal size in the sides. The center compartment also holds my 430 flash with diffuser (standing up beside the mounted lens).

Inside the main compartment are pockets for memory cards, batteries, remote, pens, pads, etc. There's also a larger, more shallow pocket, for other items. The main compartment can be configured for most use, although the rectangular dimensions of the bag, makes other configurations than the default, less attractive.

Outside are long pockets on the side. I use this for my strap, as I don't use it everyday. Beware, that the contents of the external side pockets, will take up space in the main compartment. Putting my strap in the left side pocket, makes it a tight fit for my 70-200 f/4 on the inside (with hood attached reverse). Besides taking up space on the inside, they are very deep and tight. I have small hands, but do find it difficult to reach a penny in one of those pockets.

The strap on the bag itself is really solid and of high quality! The pad is soft and has rubber strips to keep it from sliding off your shoulder. Of the same material, are straps just above the side pockets, for other items compatible with Tamracs SAS or MAS, or other items like lens pockets, bottle pockets, filter pouches etc. These straps does make access to the side pockets a little more difficult.

Beside the main strap, there's a small "handle" as well. This is great for putting it in the car, moving it a short distance, etc. Don't know why I've never seen it on a camera bag before, but it's really practical in day-to-day use.

I simply love this bag, and it comes with me even though I choose not to bring all of my stuff. It's not a big bag as such, but it's roomy. I rarely walk around an entire day, but if I were going to, I would select only some of my equipment or go with a backpack.

Pros

Great quality

Lots of room

Doesn't feel or look big (I'm a small person, and any crumpler bag that can carry this amount of equipment, would look huge on me).

Fantastic strap!

Comes with raincover

Great "handle" under the strap

Has silencers for the top flap (so you can open the bag, without the entire wedding party suddenly looking your way)

Cons

Dividers aren't velcro combatible on the sides, so you can only attach dividers to the inside of the bag.

Side pockets take up space on the inside, and are very deep.

Pros:

o Despite high volume, no room for a laptop.

Decided I didn't like this bag, it's well built. I just don't personally like the configuration. Think tank makes great bags.

If you are after a camera bag that looks inconspicuous yet is comfortable and trendy. For me it holds a Canon Rebel and three lenses and one flash light.

I purchased this bag as a gift for my phographer girlfriend. She couln't have been happier. The features are perfect and obviously desined for use by someone who takes their profession or hobby seriously. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a substantial, user-friendly bag that is likely to be used for years.

This is a great pack unfortunately the order arrived incomplete, containing the pack but not the accessory kit. Tried to resolve the issue with Cameta and rather than revolve the issue electronically they require a printed form to be faxed (which I don't have a scanner/fax machine) or snail mailed. Kind of ridiculous that somebody who is willing to take your money electronically won't process their customer service requests the same way.

I searched over the internet & at the camera stores for a camera bag to fit my Canon G11. I wanted a the bag that fit my camera snugly, Velcro belt loop attachment only(no strap) and a small slot or area for and extra SD Card. The Tamrac 5689 fits all of that. It has Velcro to keep the lid/top of the case on and works well when you have to get the camera out quickly compared to zippered types. My camera fits just right with enough room to pull it out quickly. It is stored on its side and it makes it nice to pull out the camera quickly. The bag is well constructed, enough padding and not bulky. It fits well against your body if you hook it to your belt. It is larger than the little point and shoots and when I sit for longer periods I easily take it off my belt, which is attached again with Velcro. The small slot compartment on the inside is just large enough for a spare SD card, but not enough for a spare battery.

Overall, this bag fits my needs well and I have used it for a month now on various trips and weekend shoots. I give it 5 for its good construction, functionality and nice look. If you are looking to carry more things like extra camera supplies, then get a bigger bag, because this will be too small for you. Most reviews knock the bags etc. when they don't fit or have the features they are looking for after they use them for a while. My advice is to do your homework, know what you really want/need and do a good search.

This is a great case for the Canon G11 it offers good protection with light weight. Also purchased but returned the Tenba 638 MIXX Large and Kata DF-408 DPS, good cases, but they didn't fix as well.

My need is to add some protection around the G11 as it bounces around my bag with other media gear. This case holds the camera very well while the camera strap extends out of the top around flap. It is possible to fold the strap down and secure it inside the top of the case but it is tight.

Small front pocket is excellent for extra media card. It can hold an extra battery but it makes placing the G11 into the case more difficult.

Because of my specific use, and because the camera fits perfectly in the case, I'm considering cutting the top off of the case. It will allow me easier access to my camera while in my jacket pocket or bag.

UPDATE: I have now cut the flap off of this case. So it is now more of a protective sleeve than a case. It works great in my coat pocket or briefcase, protecting my Canon G11. I've also discovered that the G11 is built like a tank and doesn't need much protection.

A well-made, durable case for my Canon G10. It's made of a heavy-duty canvas-type material that resists scratches and provides enough padding to prevent camera dings. You can easily attach it to your belt but the G10 is a bit chubby to go unnoticed while at your side. It's not the case's fault but it's a bit thick to wear comfortably all day. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the case and have had no desire to purchase another which is usually a good sign that it is properly fulfilling the role for which I purchased it. I'd definitely recommend it to other G10 owners provided you weren't going to use it on your belt for long periods.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5689 Pro Compact Digital Bag (Black)

This bag was recommended for the Canon Powershot G12. It is a great bag if you don't want to carry anything else but the basic camera. If you put a extra battery in the front of the case you can't remove the camera. It is to tight a fit. I would not recommend it for that reason. It would be difficult to remove a extra memory card also.

So having gotten the awesome Canon G11, I wanted to have it well-protected as well as easily portable. After the usual surfing research, I bought the Tamrac 5689 and am glad I did.

I put a spare Canon battery at the bottom (I could cut a bit of foam to put it in), then the camera, leave the Canon wrist strap hanging out, and then close the flap. The velcro keeps it shut securely. An extra SD card in its little case is in the tiny front pocket (I didn't try to get the battery in there). Everything fits perfectly, and I carry the whole thing by the wrist strap. Very compact, no extra frills needed or wanted. Well-constructed, and durable materials.

I carry wipes, diapers, wallet, DSLR camera, phone, small toys, iPad and other random essentials with me on a daily basis. The different compartments are awesome I love that it protects my camera, which is the reason I bought it, but it has also kept me very organized! I carry my camera with me everywhere for my job, blog and as a mom this bag works for all three.

I bought this bag for a trip I was taking overseas and needed both my computer and my camera to go with me. It worked perfectly! It is a big bag so I would not use it for every day shooting but for travel it was exactly what I needed. I did a little shooting with it while I was traveling and it was okay. I just threw it over my shoulder messenger style and it worked well but it is a big bag so it was a little cumbersome. Be warned that when it is full with computer and camera, the bag is VERY heavy so keep that in mind as you travel. I packed this bag as full as possible which included a change of clothes, as my travel on bag. It was heavy but it was nice to have everything with me that I needed. I gave it a 4 star because I didn't love the two small zippers on the front. I put items in there that I need and found it hard to get them out, even when the bag wasn't full. I think anything other than the zipper might have made it easier to get items in/out of those pockets. Other than that I had no complaints about the bag.

I was thinking about getting either this or the Epiphanie Clover bag. I went with this one because I didn't think the other would hold my computer with its case on it. I'm glad I chose the Libby because with the case on, it was snug getting it into the Libby. I don't think it would have fit well in the Clover and I have an 15" Macbook Pro. The extra couple inches of the external case made a difference I think. If you're thinking of getting the Libby just do it; you won't be sorry :)

It's a very nice bag but a bit too expensive for what you get. I used a free gift card to bring the cost down and it was a gift someone else specifically wanted so I still bought it.

It's a great camera bag. I definitely recommend it for travelling or a photo shoot. It's probably too bulky to use as an everyday bag, but for specific tasks it's amazing.

Holds camera and accessories well.

Material stiff, however. Scratches my hand when I reach into exterior pockets .

Color nice. Heavy when packed
