This is a well-made product, but is a tight fit for my Panasonic FZ150. Side zippers are a bit stiff, but nice roomy outside pocket for filters, cellphone, etc. Would definitely recommend for cameras smaller than mine.

I use this bag for a Canaon HF11 camcorder. It is a very well constructed bag with many small compartments which are very useful. It will be a perfect carrying case for those trips when we don't want the bulk of a larger bag.The zipper compartment opens wide to allow camera safely in and out and has a convenient handle and shoulder strap. The material is resistant and protects the camera well.

I'm a photographer who'd been looking for ages for the perfect camera bag. My criteria: it had to be secure, padded, lightweight, not too big, and easy to get in and out of. I was having the hardest time finding one that wasn't huge on me. I'm a very petite 5'2" tall, and most camera bags even the "small" ones overwhelmed me. This pack has been perfect. The straps adjust so that the pack stays close to my body and above my waistline, allowing me to sit, bend, and jump without it getting in the way. The pack easily swings under my arm and in front of me where I can easily pull back the zippered flap and get to my gear. There are two bands of nylon webbing on one end of the bag where I snap my add-ons a Tamrac battery/CF card holder and my Expodisc. The zippered pocket on the front is large enough to hold a few things. On my shoot today, I put a Whibal card, Lenspen, small wallet, iPhone, and flashgun cable, and there was still some room to spare. The inside of the bag is surprisingly roomy. It's all padded with repositionable dividers. I can fit my 5DM2 with 24-70L attached (with lens hood inverted), 430EXII speedlight, Rogue Flashbender, and 50 1.4 in there with enough room to be able to remove things easily. The only thing that would make this bag better would be if it had straps or bungee cords on the bottom to allow me to carry a tripod or sweater easily. Overall, it's a great little bag, and perfect for those on-the-go shoots where I need quick access to my gear.

We ordered this item on a whim. I find that slings vs backpacks are more of a personal preference. We like backpacks since we only use one strap over one shoulder at a time. The sling is a completely different feel. We put our Nikon D3200 with the 18-200 lens, the 18-55 kit lens, batteries, charger, filters, and a pair of Nikon binoculars in the bag and found it a bit heavy and compressing on the chest. So, we tried slinging the strap over one shoulder. It doesn't feel as good as a backpack this way.....then again it's not designed to be used in this fashion. We resolved a little of the discomfort by removing the binoculars.

As for the function, this bag effectively stored all the items we have/need when going out and about. Wish it had one more pocket somewhere so that you could separate the filters from say the batteries. All in all, it's a quality built bag and have no doubt that it will protect our equipment.

A smaller camera bag suitable for the shorter, faster moving trips. Sits comfortably across the back but for shorter periods (5 hours would probably the max I'd use it regularly). Excellent build quality and a cool design. I'd go for the Kata 3N1's for longer trips or outings that require more bits and pieces. All-in-all, happy with my purchase.

Honest reviews on Kata Pro Light KT PL-LT-314 Torso Pack

Where the camera bag fits my Nikon D4 it doesn't have enough flexibility with the straps. The straps seem to get in the way. They give you extra straps, but give no picture or description of how to configure it differently.

After much thought, I decided to get a sling-type bag, as a backpack would be too difficult to access on the run, and in my experience a traditional (boxy) camera bag is a pain to carry around.

I have an EOS 20D with the 17-85mm zoom, and it fits beautifully in the main compartment with sufficient room for another lens and a flash or for two lenses.Then there's an upper compartment where I keep my battery charger, cables and other assorted stuff, and a filter pocket in the front.

Some nice details that really stand out to me:

The hidden all-weather cover that stows away in a flat Velcro-ed pocket to the base of the bag is invisible until you pull it out for use: so much so that one reviewer didn't even realise it is there!

The back is very well padded.

The zips are very high quality, and silent when in use. When they are closed the zips themselves are not visible, instead you have a neat covered `bead' for the length of the opening.

The main compartment flap opens fully, giving unrestricted access.

There are two nylon webbing straps with quick-release clips to that ensure that when the bag is on your front, there is no chance that the flap will accidentally open due to the weight of the camera, even is the zips are half opened. This is hard to describe accurately, but trust methere'll be no nasty surprises if these clips are in place.

When in shooting position, the bag presents an excellent platform for your elbows, greatly enhancing the steadiness of your shot.

There's a built-in microfibre cloth that protects your LCD screen whilst the camera is in the bag, and may well be used as a lenscloth.

When you want to get moving, there's a second smaller strap that attaches easily to the main strap so that the bag really stays put on your back, even when hunched over on a bike.

This is beautifully made and intelligently designed bag that will likely last for years. I can't recommend it highly enough.

UPDATE: Have gotten the 70-300 IS (non-DO) canon zoom and the SlingShot 100 will not fit this lens whilst it's attached to the body without distortion of the closure flap it does however fit the 20D body with a 17-85 mounted on it whilst the 70-300 is in the left compartment and the 70-300's large lens hood stored either on the lens in reverse, or in the right compartment, so I'm still happy with it.

UPDATE 2: Alexander asked me is the Slingshot would work on one shoulder: i.e. not over your head and across your chest. The answer is yes and no: you can certainly sling it over one shoulder, but due to the angle it was designed to work at the strap does not 'sit' as well on one side, so if you choose to carry it like this, you'll have to hold on to the bag a bit. Having said this, I use it on one shoulder far more than slung across my chest, so let that be your guide.

Bought my Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW bag off of Amazon Lightning Deals a few days ago. Although the reviews and description were very helpful to me I was still a little hesitant in not knowing if all my equipment would fit and how sturdy or well padded the bag was. Decided to try a video review (which I hope you find helpful) to walk you through the ins and outs of this camera bag as I was pleasantly surprised all the way around!

Lowe has done it again. I own 2 other Lowe bags (one being my expedition backpack for camping and a computrekker). I swear by their design innovation and attention to using professional grade materials.

I use the SlingShot 100 AW everyday. Photo ops come up at any second. You have to be ready and the SlingShot allows you to be there. It comfortably holds my DSLR Rebel XT, 430EX flash, 5 memory cards, cables, power adapter, 24mm lens, 85mm lens, 100mm macro lens and the attached 18-55mm lens.

The INGENIOUS sling design is easy to use. Simply rotate unzip the main compartment (everything stays in because the closeable buckles prohibit you from opening it up too far) and easily lift the camera out in shooting position.

While the camera is out, the bag hangs comfortable around the front and I use it to rest my elbow on while shooting (an added bonus! stability).

The stabilizing strap can be hidden away, very NICE touch. And easily pulled out when needed.

The all-weather (AW) hidden cover comes out and protects in a downpour. Another great idea.

The microfiber LCD protector, numerous pockets are added bonuses, but the TRUE BEAUTY OF THIS BAG is that it allows QUICK, EASY AND SECURE motion from storage to shoot.

I got the 100 because I'm smaller and prefer a smaller bag. If I need to absolutely carry more lenses and gear, I'll most likely be going somewhere where I'm going to be stationary so I'll use my Lowe computrekker.

But as for being in the field, and being ready at moments notice...the SlingShot is it.

UPDATE JULY 2008:

=================

I sold this bag. Not because it was bad--I got more stuff and bought the next size up! I own the Slingshot 200 now and it is just as versatile, convenient and durable. LoweProducts are the way to go.

Honest reviews on Lowepro SlingShot 100 All-Weather Digital Camera Backpack - Black

Contrary to the previous reviewer's comments, the all-weather sleeve that did not "come with the bag" is attached to the bottom of the bag -there's no way that it did not come with the bag as the previous author writes. It is a very well-padded compact bag, and has enough room for a dSLR with lens attached (I have an EOS Digital Rebel XT) and room for two additional lenses (one shorter-length prime lens and maybe one standard telephoto zoom). Additionally, it's easy to quickly remove the camera from the bag because the zippers are on the side of the sling, allowing you quickly swing the bag to the front of your body, open the bag, and grab your camera. Removeable padded areas attached via Velcro allow for personal customization of the bag to better fit your equipment needs. This bag gets a favorable mention in my book.

In classic western films, a lone hero pulls out a gun in a split second and then... bang bang bang! LowePro's SlingShot AW series allows you to pull out your camera ready for shooting in just few seconds. Designed for quick and easy access, it has a single diagonal strap that lets you rotate the bag from your back to the front. Two zippers open the left side revealing a well protected DSLR camera body ready for action.

Sometimes you need a bag that can hold all your gears, such as primary DSLR body, backup DSLR body, notebook computer, several lenses (walkaround, telephoto, wide angle, etc.), filters, several memory cards, iPod, chargers, extra batteries, battery grip, and so on. And there are times when you need a smaller bag like the Slingshot 100. It is just large enough to hold Canon Digital Rebel XTi with EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, extra battery, battery charger (with international power adapter if traveling overseas), a couple of extra CompactFlash memory cards, and 3 lens filters. And there's enough room for either Sony DCR-HC42 MiniDV camcorder, a couple of MiniDV blanks, and camcorder charger OR iPod with camera connector and iPod charger. Missing in action is EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM telephoto lens.

It has 5 areas:

1. Primary area for the camera and lenses. It includes 3 Velcro partitions that can be rearranged to snugly hold the camera body and lenses.

2. The area where camera's LCD meets is a pouch that can hold several memory cards and is specially engineered to protect the LCD.

3. Top portion can hold items such as compact camcorder, compact point and shoot camera, or iPod, along with their charger and cables. Or perhaps some snacks.

4. Front pouch can hold additional memory cards, blank MiniDV tapes, extra batteries, and other smaller accessories.

5. Hidden inside the bottom zipper is the "all weather" cover (umbrella like fabric) that can cover the entire bag.

This bag is just large enough to carry my most frequently used gears and small enough to be taken anywhere.

Pros:

Well made, weather resistant, stylish.

Cleverly designed for quick access.

Enough padding to protect your gears.

Just large enough for my commonly used gears.

Integrated water proof cover.

Cons:

Will not accommodate longer telephoto lens.

Side pouch for a water bottle would've been nice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program For many years, I've bought and carried JanSport Backpacks (JanSport Classic SuperBreak Backpack) because they are strong, sturdy and have a long life. When I received this Case Logic CPL-108GY Backpack, I wanted to test its durability. First, I removed all the padded compartments/dividers and used it to carry novels, notebooks, pencil pouches, etc., to work, church, and most everywhere I go. For nearly four months, I have carried this backpack faithfully every day. The zippers, buckles and seams have remained intact. None have torn or ripped apart.

I own numerous electronic devices including several digital cameras, a portable DVD player, a portable film projector, portable Bluetooth speaker, and several wireless headphones. The Case Logic CPL-108GY Backpack makes it easy to carry all of these. The padded compartments/dividers inside the backpack are easy to remove and reinsert. There is a diagram that comes with the backpack; it explains every part of the backpack, which has a multitude of compartments and pockets--more than I will ever use. If you lose the diagram, there is one on Amazon's website for this product.

I took this backpack with me when I photographed animals at the Norfolk Zoo. I own a Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR [Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens and EOS HD Movie Mode (Black)], which my parents bought me for Christmas two years ago. I was able to carry extra flash memory cards [SanDisk 32GB SDHC Flash Memory Card (SDSDB-032G-B35)] inside slots that are provided for them. Thankfully, this backpack has its own blue weather hood. It began raining rather hard at the zoo. I was able to put the hood over the backpack with little difficulty.

I highly recommend the Case Logic CPL-108GY Backpack for carrying all your electronics. It is strong, durable, sturdy and should last many years with proper treatment. It reminds me very much of my JanSport Backpacks, which I have always bought. I gave a CPL-108GY Backpack to my girlfriend, Tammy, who is an amateur photographer, for Valentine`s Day. She also likes it very much because of its multitude of compartments/dividers. Also, she said it was lightweight, but strong, compared to other backpacks she has purchased.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a medium sized camera backpack.. a perfect size for my amateur needs. I don't want something huge, but need something to travel with that has room for my camera, a lense, and some other non-photography related stuff. I like the protected sleeve for the tablet!

I also like that this doesn't have a huge logo advertising Nikon or other big camera name...proclaiming that I have an expensive camera on board. This looks like a generic backback.

One feature it doesn't have, is a sling option with rapid access to the camera. I like the sling bags that you wear over one shoulder and you can rotate horizontally in front of you for fast access to a camera from a door on the side. Some bags allow you to convert to this configuration. This one does not.

The internal padding is of good quality and very flexible with regard to changing configuration. There is room for all my gear if I need it (I am a casual photographer) including an SLR, extra lense, flash, sd cards and batteries. You can attach a tripod to the outside if you want.

There is a rain cover that is easy to get to and stretch over the bag.. a very nice feature. I am not sure how water repellent the bag itself is without the cover.. not something I want to test!

The best features though for me are that it is fairly compact, anonymous, and has room for everything a traveling amateur photographer needs. This is perfect to take with when being a tourist and wanting access to your camera, accessories, travel book, snacks etc etc.

I've always been a big Case Logic fan. I've just always preferred their features, build quality and look. I've bought numerous CL case & bags over the years for that reason.

This bag perfectly (and conveniently) holds;

(2) camera bodies, Panasonic G5, Olympus E-PL5

Four lenses, including a 300mm zoom. Two of the lenses were usually attached to the camera bodies at any given time.

Two chargers & cables

External flash & electronic viewfinder

Misc equipment (SD cards, LED light, mini tripod, etc)

Kindle Fire HD

There's also a side strap to carry a full-sized tripod and a weather proof cover that stores in it's own pouch.

The interior compartments are highly configurable using velcro tabs.

I just returned from a week long trip and the bag performed perfectly. It held the equipment firmly, was relatively small and easy to handle (important in close quarters, like a baseball game), good looking but generic enough not to draw attention.

Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Case Logic CPL-108GY Backpack for DSLR Camera and iPad, Gray

It's a nice enough backpack if you have a small load and don't need it to be rugged. It's much smaller than I expected. I have a manfrotto 055x tripod (a medium sized tripod) and the tripod strap doesn't come close to fitting it. The tripod strap is really only big enough to accommodate a small monopod. I feel like the description of this was misleading. So unfortunately this bag fails for me, I'll be sending it back.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program As the owner of a Case Logic SLRC-206, I'm a big fan of the company's camera bags. This model is even better than the bag I purchased. Like its big brother, it's comfortable, has good padding, and has excellent protective compartments in the main body that are customizable. The side velcro-slot is great for a monopod. As advertised, the back compartment has enough room for an iPad or other tablet. Unlike its big brother, it has a weather sleeve just in case you get caught in rain or snow.

If you have a small DSLR or camcorder setup for run-and-gun shooting, this bag is an outstanding choice. It's light and comfortable, while providing a good degree of protection and the convenience of a protective compartment for a tablet.

I purchased this camera bag to go along with the Canon HG10 camcorder. The bag is very nice in that it has multiple internal compartments and pockets, as well as external zipper compartments on every side of the bag. Also, it has a false bottom inside the bag which serves as a cushion in case the bag is dropped, but it can also double as additional storage space.

Initially, I too noticed that the bag is much bigger than necessary for carrying such a small camcorder as the HG10. However, when it arrives brand new, there are rectangular foam pieces in each zipper compartment to prevent it from losing it's shape. I simply took one of these foam pieces and trimmed it to fill the extra empty space around the camera in the main compartment. Now the camera fits in nice and snug with additional foam cushioning surrounding it.

With all of the space, pockets, and compartments, I am able to fit the camera and every possible accessory into this bag. Currently I am carrying the camera, the power cable and AC adapter, 2 spare batteries, a mini-tripod, the USB cable, the standard A/V cable, the HD component cable, the remote control, and the product manuals, and there is still a lot of empty space and empty pockets. Luckily, the HG10 does not require media since it is hard-disk based, but there would be ample room to carry mini-dv's, DVD's, or any other blank media if the camera required it.

All in all I think it is a great bag and it fulfills all of my camera and accessory carrying needs.

I bought this case to carry my Canon HV20, and reading other reviews I knew it was big, still more than I would expect. I can fit at least 3 Canon HV20 with all their accessories and some miniDVs. The quality is amazing, and since it's so big, I carry the camcorder, a DSLR like camera and a point and shoot camera with all their chargers cables and some miniDVs. Not forgetting that I still have more space if I remove the manuals on the second bottom.

So, if you want it just a small carrying case for a compact camcorder, it's not for you.

If you are like me, and love to carry everything even when you don't need it, this it a great purchase. Great materials, protects perfectly your camera, and lots of pockets and spaces to fit stuff. All the spaces are flexible, so you can fit different stuff without having them scratching each other.

Best Deals for Canon SC2000 Soft Carrying Case for select Canon Camcorders

I've used a great many camera and camcorder bags and I'm very pleased to say that after living with this bag for several weeks it's everything that I hoped for. I recently upgraded from a standard def camcorder to Canon's HV30 hi-def offering. After spending some time looking for a new camcorder bag I decided to try the Canon SC2000. The SC2000 carrying case works very well for me as I tote around among other things a Canon VL-10 spare light, spare DV tapes, multiple Li-ion batteries, a charger, assorted interconnecting cables, filters and various other shooting aides.

The bag's interior compartment is well padded and contains an adjustable velcro center divider, a zippered storage pocket and a Velcro tabbed side pocket suitable for lenses and cleaning materials. The three zippered external pockets are very roomy and easily accessible. There's also a hidden storage area located on the bottom of the bag that I find ideal for storing my shotgun mic and other less used items.

I like the zippered pullback style top flap and find that the bag, while not overly large, contains plenty of storage space for items that I need on remote shoots. The provided shoulder strap is comfortable and easily adjustable. All in all a very well constructed bag that more than satisfies my needs.

It came today and I quickly unpacked it and transferred everything from the 110 AND the small box of accessories that would not fit inside the 110 into the Canon SC2000. Oh, happy day! My Hoya lens pouch, Hoodman 300, 2 cables, adapter and cables, home and auto chargers, 2 batteries, lens cleaning fluid and cloth, HV30 camcorder, 10 mini DV HD's, a head cleaner, manual and included CD, 2 SD cards, a tripod mounting accessory, and a pack of LCD protector sheets nestled comfortably inside the storage compartments with one side pocket still uninhabited!

Leica 18752 D-Lux 5 Leather Case
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I purchased this Leather Case for the D-Lux 5, but decided to return it as found it not functional for using the D-Lux 5.

The design of the case fits very tight the camera, therefore you need a strap to pull it out, and the case has no strap for the camera included (D-Lux 4 case from Leica had it). The problem is that you can not either use the original strap that comes with the D-Lux 5, as the camera will not fit inside the case. Therefore is a very good looking case, but is not functional due to the missing strap for the camera.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

After purchasing a D-Lux 5 I was unable to find this case anywhere online, but managed to get one at the Leica shop in Singapore. The quality is first class, as you would expect from Leica, both inside and out. As another reviewer pointed out this is not a "point and shoot" case, but rather a carrying case which works well with a wrist strap instead of a neck strap. I cannot imagine why Leica did not include a wrist strap with the D-Lux 5, but I highly recommend getting one to use with this case. With a wrist strap attached the camera is quickly and safely removed for shooting. I enjoy using this case with my D-Lux 5, as the camera is out of the way and protected when walking while leaving my hands free, but quickly retrieved when shooting opportunities arise.

I believe a major reason people purchase the D-Lux 5 over the Panasonic LX5 is for the great history of Leica, and perhaps some very slight styling differences. If this is important to you and you enjoy the nostalgia of photography and Leica then this is the perfect accessory for your camera.

Best Deals for Leica 18752 D-Lux 5 Leather Case

I love my new Leica D-Lux 5, & adore the case being reviewed. I purchased the brown leather version, though it comes in black as well (though I am told it is not nearly as elegant in black). It really is a beautifully crafted case for an exquisite camera. It comes with a long leather strap, which I never use, which clips onto either side of the case. Honestly, it's a rather feminine look with the strap (which is fine, of course), but I prefer to loop it through my belt, & it is always at my side. It has a magnetic "snap" at the bottom on the case, which works really well & has a nice feel to it. It has never opened without my intentionally doing so. The camera fits quite snugly within, & feels secure. The only downside has more to do with the camera's design, perhaps, than the case, but they are unfortunately related. As the texture of the camera is SO smooth, it often feels in danger of slipping out of my grip, which it has on a number of occasions, actually. Luckily, I am neurotic enough to never take the camera out of the case without first looping the wrist strap (which comes with the case) around my wrist. I would highly recommend doing so. The look of the design, with the wrist strap hanging alongside the case itself, is quite nice, & is effective. However, as I found the camera to be so smooth in texture, hence so insecure in my hands, I purchased the hand grip accessory, which screws into the bottom of the camera & significantly (though not entirely) increases my hold on the camera. The only problem is this: the camera will not fit in the case with the hand grip attached, which means I must continually attach & re-attach it every time I take the camera from its case, if I wish to use that accessory. This also means, of course, that I must somehow carry the hand grip separately from the camera, which is honestly quite annoying. I can't understand why the camera wasn't designed with the hand grip & the case subsequently designed to hold the camera as such. That not-with-standing, the case itself is LOVELY...that's the word for it. Even considering the flaw just described, I highly recommend the case. It is the case both made for & worthy of the Leica D-Lux 5.

Honest reviews on Leica 18752 D-Lux 5 Leather Case

Appearance/build: the case is well built and supports the camera nicely. The (brown) leather is lighter than it appears on my computer screen, the "Leica" brand on the lens cover more subdued, and there are minor but noticeable flaws in the leather/dyeing. While good looking, the case looks better on line (Amazon or Leica web sites). The stitching and build are solid, and look like they will last for a very long time.

Storage: the camera fits snugly and appears to be well protected/cushioned. The adjustable shoulder strap looks and works great. The belt loop is stitched well and is securely and snugly attached to the back of the case. The case is held shut by a magnetic flap, which works well. I have found the camera easy to extract from the case, whether the case is on your belt or the shoulder strap.

Minuses: The shoulder strap that came with the camera does not fit in the case, giving you the choice of removing the strap from the camera or having the strap hang out of the case (neither attractive nor functional). Third party straps will have the same problems. The case works better with a wrist strap (NOT supplied with the case), but the strap hangs out of the case. Of course, the case does not work with a view finder or hand grip.

Overall: a nice looking, well constructed storage/travel case that is not that functional when I am actually using the camera. For practical reasons (as well as looks), I don't like having straps hang out of my camera case, and I DO need a strap (wrist or shoulder/neck) to protect my camera. There are (non-Leica) alternatives that are much more functional and protect the camera just as well. The leather's flaws are minor but, combined with the lack of functionality, should be considered when looking at a $100+ camera case.

I purchased this product a month ago. When I received, it was just as expected true Leica leather with high quality and vintage design and it fits well and tight the camera. However, it was only made to fit the camera itself with no additional accessories installed on the D-lux 5 like the hand grip or the viewfinder (that's why I gave it 4 stars). From a personal taste, I would have preferred if they had made a black color as well.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of buying the D-lux 5.

I purchased this because of the familiarity of the Polaroid name. The materials the adapter are made of seem to be of good quality and the threads fit snugly, but the three set screws were loose in the package. On further investigation, I found that the screws did not even fit the threads in the holes, but just fell through. Not something that could have been easily overlooked by the assembler. Hoped to use the adapter and instead I am waiting for another adapter from a different manufacturer.

I love the case. The case is sturdy and love the pocket to hold my SD card case. Only disappointment was that it didn't come with the hand strap. Even says it on the box that it comes with a hand strap.

This is a pretty hefty case. It's about double the width that it looks in the picture. Good for protection but not easy to fit in a purse.

My Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 fits perfectly inside of this case. I like that it is a hard shell case because it feels like the camera is more protected. The inside has soft lining to protect the huge touch screen on the camera and the inside also has a small mesh pocket. I haven't really found any use for the pocket but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. So, overall I am happy with the case and would recommend it for a similar camera.

This is a lot bulkier than I expected it to be. I upgraded my camera so I would be able to take it with me everywhere I went because it is small enough to do so. This case is extremely sturdy, but it is much larger than it needed to be. My camera would be floating around in there if it didn't have a strap to hold it in. I really don't understand why the made it so large when the cameras it is supposed to accommodate are so small. If you don't mind the bulk of it, it is a good case. The color is awesome and I guess you could double it as a wallet if you were traveling... There is plenty of space in it for extra stuff.

This cover is too small for the Canon Rebel XSI (with kit lens). Also, the velcro strips stick to everything, including the neoprene/fabric. Mine came with part of the fabric torn off. I returned it right after I received it.

Buy this for your SLR. I'm very happy with it.

I'm happy with the Zing as it protects my Canon Eos 450 from the slight knocks and dings. I gave it a 4/5 because the design cold have been slightly better (read below).

Pros:

It protects your expensive investment. It's flexible enough that you can easily pull it off for that quick photo. Will protect it from light rains and slight bumps.

Cons:

When the cover hangs off while you're taking photos, it can sometimes obstruct the standard issue lens if one doesn't hold the cover back behind the view of the lens (a slight annoyance). Also, the bottom piece wraps the base of the camera (this product is a two piece cover) and covers some of the buttons and the bottom of the screen. This is only a slight annoyance as the material is flexible enough that you can maneuver it out of the way enough to operate the playback and delete those unwanted photos (particular to the Canon Eos 450).

Bought this for the Canon SX20IS. I also purhased the Canon PSC-4000. I also have a lensmate 58mm lens adapter, and a canon 58mm UV filter on all the time. I quickly found out that the camera WILL NOT fit into the PSC-4000. Because of this I will not be keeping the PSC-400 case. Although I think overall quality and design of the PSC-400 is pretty good it just was not compatible with my Lensmate adapter, and Filter stack.

The Zing does have some drawbacks. First off, it is meant to be used with the camera straps through the holes on the Zing back section/cover. However, for the Canon SX20, I mostly use the LCD screen to take pictures and the back part of the ZIng obstructs the view. It is meant to be used if you use only the view finder to take pictures and prefer leaving the case attached to the camera straps. So I ended up not attaching it through the strap loops on the Zing, so I can completely remove the camera. The good thing is that since it's neoprene I can stuff it into a jacket pocket or my suit jacket pocket when I remove the camera. Obviously you can't do this with the leather clad PSC-4000.

The other frustrating part of the Zing is that putting the camera back into the case takes some technique and getting used to. Since the Zing is in 2 parts, a back section and the front section velcroed together; one must first seat the camera into the back part and THEN slip into the front part.

I couldn't figure this out at first, but once I got the technique down it was pretty simple. Remember I didn't attach the camera through the loops, this made it alot less cumbersome to remove and replace into the Zing.

This may not be important to you, but the PSC-400 looks kind of like a purse when you have it hanging on your shoulder. The Zing forms into the camera shape so it doesn't look like a purse or a fanny pack.

MY vedict, ZING Eveready for the Canon SX20IS. Check out some of the pictures I posted as a reference. thanks!

Honest reviews on Zing 550-011 UBK1 Standard Eveready (Black)

I love the material and style, but for my Canon Rebel XSI the case is almost a little bit too small (even though you can stretch it and try to fit it).The case bottom hardly fits around the camera base. I thought the case had a zipper on the back (no idea why I thought that but it looked like it somehow), but there is only a velcro fastener on the back and even if I pull it down as far as I can, it doesn't completely cover the back of the camera (incl. screen).

Overall, I like the product because it's light-weight and great if you don't want to drag along a big camera case or bag.

I liked this product even though I bought it for a point and shoot Canon S5 and it really didn't fit perfectly. It fits great but there is about and inch and a half left on the front of the lens part, but it's better than anything there is out there for these larger point and shoot digital cameras.

The only thing is that the first week of use (and I don't give it that much use) the elastic through which you put the shoulder strap of your camera became loose. I sewed it back up and its working fine, but I didn't really use it that much for it to become unsewn.

Good product overall.
