This camera case looks great and fits nicely but....

The SMELL! It's horrible to me. Burns my eyes so I don't know what chemicals are in it. Maybe it was just mine?

I left it outside for a week with little or no change. Rubbed it with a dryer sheet, nada.

The other caveat is that you can't mount the camera on a tripod since there is no mount on the case.

You can't change the battery or SD card either but that's true with all the cases.

If you don't use a tripod and can get used to the smell it may work for you.

I always write reviews based on the product cost vrs. benefit. This product is certainly worth it's cost. It has a faint leather / ancient camera smell to it which does not seem sythetic at all, it's properly sown and constructed and it fits quite well on the X10 (very small non-critical gaps here and there, as well as friction when covering the X10 if its wearing the lens protector.)

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I've had this bag for about a year and a half, and it's remarkable. As others have said, the movable/removable velcro dividers provide enormous flexibility, and there are plenty of pockets and strong zippers. The walls and the velcro dividers are well-padded and they secure the contents well to prevent most movement and vibration. There's a little pocket in the bottom front that contains a nylon shroud that can be pulled out to help secure the bag from dust and moisture.

It's a good size: large enough to hold the essentials but not so big that I load it with my entire household (and then have to lug all that extra weight). In the main compartment, mine holds a Canon 20D body, a 17-85mm zoom, a 50mm prime lens, a 70-200 f2.8 zoom (BIG), Speedlite 580 flash, plus polarizing filter, battery charger, spare AAA batteries, and a USB cable. There are other compartments that hold another battery charger and extra rechargeable battery for the camera (the speedlite and the camera use different rechargeable batteries), extra flash memory card, various booklets, maps, and guides, airline tickets, and various other odds and ends.

There are loops on the back of the bag so that it could be attached to a backpack, though they don't look like they'd support much weight for very long.

When I'm travelling, I can sling this bag across one shoulder, a notebook PC case across the other, and still carry a modest suitcase. With all my stuff in it it's barely 12x8x10 inches. Strong, comfortable shoulder strap, comfortable handle, rubber footpads that keep the bag pretty much off the surface, and expansion pockets all over the place.

Seconding what another person said about the color: the green is more subdued and attractive than the photo suggests.

Everything about it just exudes quality. I'd buy it again in an instant.

I've had this bag for almost two years and it's been excellent. The only problem I've had with it is that it doesn't magically expand and get lighter as my camera equipment increases. It's definitely not a small bag, but it also isn't so huge that you're embarrassed to carry it on your shoulder in public.

I have crammed probably too much into this thing: A Nikon D200, Tokina 12-24 DX lens, Nikon 18-70mm DX lens, Nikon 50mm 1.8D lens, Nikon 75-300mm zoom, SB-600 flash, memory, camera and AA batteries, cleaner, filters, remote, flashlights, and various small flat things that fit in the flap. Even with all of this, I've done photo shoots with this bag strapped across an opposite shoulder comfortably for hours at a time.

Positives:

1. The main compartment has plenty of room for a good-sized collection of photo equipment, and the front zippered pouch has a lot of room for batteries, tools, cleaner, etc. There are also lots of places all over the bag for extra things, like a zippered back pocket for gloves or docs, belt loops for an add-on belt, elastic side mesh panels on both sides, zippered front pouch that's great for a remote or filters while you're shooting, a thick zippered see-through panel inside the top-flap of the bag. Lots of room!

2. Excellent quality build material that resists scratches and abrasions, and zippers that are pretty satisfyingly heavy-duty where they need to be.

3. Very configurable main compartment with lots of movable velcro'd partitions.

4. Shoulder strap is light and has a good heavy-duty feel, is comfortably padded, and is curved to fit your shoulder, and it stays put. It also has metal clamps that connect to the metal rings on the bag. I've never had this strap come off the bag, ever.

5. Has a cool hidden water-proof cover that you can pull out and cover your bag within a few seconds if the weather turns wet.

6. Large rubber feet on the bottom so your bag material doesn't wear out, and a large rubber-covered handle for a good grip on the bag.

I should note that the green and blue bag colors look much better in person. The colors are much more subdued and normal in regular non-flash light.

I don't really have anything negative to say about this bag. It's awesome. If you're looking for a good camera bag with plenty of room, this is a great choice!

First, the bag arrived in super fast time. I expected to wait at least a week but it got here within days!

The bag easily holds my Nikon D-50 and 4 lenses with an open slot for one more. Many zippered flaps and pouches for those flash cards, extra battery and filters. The bag is very secure in that it has a flap that covers the top (and helps with keeping out moisture) plus two zippers that secure it as well.

The internal dividers are secured with velcro and can be moved to accomodate larger items, even a second digital camera body (would eliminate the space for one of the lenses).

I am well pleased with the bag and it is very well padded and has a shoulder strap that is contoured so it will be less likely to slip from one's shoulder if carrying it by that method. There is also a solidly built handle that provides an alternate method of carrying.

All in all it is a good deal especially at less that $44.00 with free shipping when I purchased it.

Great construction, well designed. Provides quick, easy access to lenses, flash, and accessories.

I didn't take the time to actually pull a measuring tape to figure the actual size, and was expecting something a tad larger. However it still manages to keep the following intact:

1 Canon Digital Rebel Xti with 28-135mm IS lens (mounted)

1 Canon 17-55mm kit lens

1 Canon 50mm f 1.8 Lens

1 Canon 75-300mm lens

1 Canon 70-200 f4L Lens

1 Canon 580 EX Flash

1 Sto-Fen Diffuser

and that's just in the main compartment.

In the pockets, I've got spare batter, CF cards, at least 2 dozen AA batteries, remote, assorted stationery....the list goes on and on.

And there's still a little more space.

I stumbled upon the weatherproof cover by mistake while marvelling at how many pockets it had. (The product description does not properly describe this part) It's located at the front bottom of the bag inside a zipper, and is a weatherproof cover with an elastic rim that can be slipped over the bag for protection.

I'd recommend this bag to anyone!

I bought this case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC SZ1 digital camera. The camera fits perfectly with room to spare for storing both an extra battery and a few memory cards in the mesh pocket (just be careful when you open the case because the storage pocket has no closure). Don't expect to see the thick, plush memory foam like in the picture. There is a thin layer of this foam on each side of the case. However, the case is rigid enough to sufficiently protect a camera in a bag and possibly even if dropped. I bought the green and I love the color. Overall, this is a very good case for the money. Highly recommended.

I purchased this backpack bundle for an upcoming Cruise to the Caribbean with several ports of call. I needed something not too big, but big enough for all my gear and be flexible enough to be a shore excursion pack when I needed it to be.

I received it in good condition, before the delivery estimate, it was shipped promptly and packaged carefully with the other items that were purchased at the same time.

Of course, the first thing I had to do once I got it out of the box was grab my camera gear and laptop accessories and see if I could stuff it to the gills and then see how much room was left if any...

SIZE It is a pretty good sized bag it held my Nikon D90 with several lenses (one of them a 300mm), a couple of flashes, card readers, my camcorder, a small underwater camera, all the extra batteries, chargers and accessories and a laptop, its charger, wireless mouse and all of its goodies. That's a lot of stuff! I was amazed that three bags of stuff went into one backpack!

Now, of course, I didn't pack the kitchen sink or any cinder blocks and I left some of my less used accessories behind, but still, it weighs a ton... But at least I will be able to get it all on board in one bag! I plan on stripping some gear out of it for shore excursions.

POCKETS & ZIPPERS This thing has heavy duty zippers on all sides! I especially like the main lower compartment access on BOTH sides of the bag from the sides where the camera and lenses are stashed. It makes for quick and easy access to the camera and the most used accessories while cradling the rest of them inside the lower compartment, in Velcro dividers. There is access from the back panel for the center of the lower camera compartment as well with a zippered mesh pouch on the flip down access door I used for manuals, lens cleaner pens, etc. The upper compartment has little pouches on the sides inside to stash cables, battery packs, memory cards, etc. The laptop compartment puts your laptop (and notebooks, books, folders) against your back so you don't feel any lumpy camera gear inside the pack and the zippers are sort of a bitch to get to if you don't know where they are GOOD safety/security feature! Once you know where they are, it's easy.

"STASH POCKET" One pocket of note on the upper portion on one side, on the outside, with a Velcro flap, is a simple slip-in pocket it appears to be the PERFECT size for a passport and papers. Making for an easy place to stash your important papers when going through customs. (I wouldn't LEAVE it there while traveling, but it's a good size for a small wallet, cell phone, cigarettes, etc.)

PORTABILITY This bag has several handles on it, making carrying it "not as a backpack" a lot easier. I have used one of the handles on the side to attach gear bags with belt loops for outside storage. The one on top is heavy duty and handles the load I stuffed into it without any strain at all.

STABILITY When stuffed this bag likes to sit upright when you sit it down on the ground which I love. I hate for a pack to fall over because the bottom is shaped like an egg. It seems stable, even though it is sort of top-heavy from all the battery packs I have stuffed in the upper compartment with all the chargers. (that's MY packing job, not their problem...)

TRIPOD BUNDLE The tripod is light, aluminum and comes in its own rain-cover, a sock style case with a drawstring closure. It is a small and light tripod for traveling. It is so light duty I am a little worried about how it will handle a D90 with a big double battery grip, a 2x tele-converter and a 300mm lens... We shall see how it performs but it is sort of what I expected in a "bundle" like this. It will be good for my wife's small point and shoot, so I am more than happy with it. It attaches via a little leg pouch and adjustable snap strap NOT Velcro.

The ONLY thing that I think would make this bag better is some simple sewn in straps or loops for attaching other stuff to. Little straps or loops for Velcro straps to attach sunglasses cases, water bottles, straps for a monopod, etc... Much like I have seen on the "National Geographic" camera bags. Simple loops so you can roll up a windbreaker, over shirt or jacket and Velcro strap it to the loops or something. I will be making a couple of simple modifications to mine to hold things like this.

So far, I am happy with the purchase and my new bag I will have to see how it performs when we take the trip! It is exactly what I expected, it seems heavy duty enough and I look forward to using it. I stuffed it to the gills and there isn't much room left, but it sure swallowed an awful lot more than I expected! Thus allowing me to take it all in ONE bag!

Thanks to Butterfly Photo for being so prompt!

MP

*** AFTER TRIP UPDATE ***

We used this for our "shore excursion pack" it rocked! We stuffed a lot of duty free shopping stuff inside of it and had lots of room left over for cameras, snorkel and mask and other sundry items. It is a little big compared to the little bags other folks walked off of the cruise ship with but we weren't walking back to the boat with two arms loaded with bags either! We LOVED how this thing has all sorts of little nooks and crannies, zippered pouches and easy access to the inside via the side mounted zipper openings! The little passport pouch was good too! We used it for the GPS and the passports at every port. This pack made our trip easier!

This little camera has the power of the bigger bridge units in the compact size of a point & shoot unit. It's a powerful little unit with a range of lens to suit most mid-level users. Sony are also making the technical aspects of photography accessible to us amateurs by building in options to blurr backgrounds (used to make foreground focus of the image stand out better). It's a solid unit and well made. I can say 'well made' as my unit attached to a tripod toppled over and hit concrete and suffered no apparent damage. The user guide is typically confusing but then all guides are. The NEX-5 has a screw in shoe to attach the small flash and optional mic'. I bought the mic' and was really surprised at how clear the sound was when recording a national conferece. It needs some learning to use properly, but well worth the effort for this mid-level investment.

I have been searching for a bag that was like this for a long time and now that I have it I never want to be without it. the bottom section is a camera bag (the padding is very nice) with dividers that you can move around to your hearts content. the top portion while small is big enough to fit a sweater, some granola bars and miscellaneous small tools or perhaps more batteries and other camera equiptment. The pockets on the perimeter are functional; I put multitool screwdriver attachments in one, sd card wallet in another and have a third for whatever else. My only complaint and its minor is that it is not very breathable as the entire bag is pretty much all canvas so either wear a shirt with wicking material or don't use it on distigustingly warm days if you want to avoid feeling like a sponge.

As a professional photographer, I've been through my share of camera bags . . .but for an upcoming overseas trip, I needed something that wouldn't be cumbersome and will fit my equipment and iPad. Now, I have to admit, I was somewhat nervous about placing this order because it would be coming from Hong Kong, so I placed it in plenty of time to receive before my trip. Aside from that . . .it's a hundred dollars cheaper than anything even sort of comparable, in the US.

Order placed December 28 . . .and arrived this MORNING, Jan 7! I've put in my equipment and it fits quite well and there's room up top for my iPad. I'm exceptionally pleased with this bag and the quick shipping time. I'm still awaiting US orders placed before Christmas . . .so if shipping speed is holding you back . . .dont hesitate, this bag is rugged, comfortable user friendly. What appear to be buckles on the top flap, are actually easy snaps and the zippers are heavy duty and easy to use.

I have tried a lot of camera bags, trying to find just the "right one". I have a Nikon D5000, with a 400mm lens, a 200mm lens, an 85mm lens, plus a lensbaby and a fisheye lens. I like to be able to take them all with me when I travel, so i have choices depending on where I am. This bag fits the camera and ALL the lenses in the bottom camera compartment. The velcro separators are great for setting it up for what I need. Plus the outside pockets on the bottom hold my camera user guide (sometimes I forget things :-)), a mini tripod, SD cards and the extra flash. This leaves the top part completely open for other things I may want to carry.

It's relatively lightweight, and I love the waterproof cover stashed at the bottom, in case it starts to rain. And to top it all off, it looks good; it has that worn, comfortable look and feel.

I've had quite a few bags, but this one tops then all. HIGHLY recommended.

Honest reviews on Koolertron Canvas DSLR SLR Camera Shoulder Bag Backpack Rucksack

I have never owned a camera bag as good as this one!! I love the look of it!!! I love how sturdy and tough the material feels and the ruggedness it appears. I've looked everywhere for a camera bag that didn't look like a camera bag because I don't feel comfortable showing expensive camera gear to the public. This bag looks like it's more for traveling and hiking which it can be for that too!!!! This backpack truly amazes me for a camera backpack!! I have never been impressed by other camera backpacks because they always look ugly or stiff, or bulky looking. But not this one!!!! This canvas bag is comfortable on my back and the straps feel very soft on my shoulders and this is truly a very good looking rugged canvas bag with heavy duty zippers and a nice feel to it!!! I can't say enough good things about it!! I'm very happy with this purchase and I hope to get many, long uses out of this backpack!!! And not only is the bag everything I hoped for, the shipping was fast as well!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

I ordered this bag to replace my old one. It wasn't that I was unhappy with my old one; I just wanted something that better suited my needs. This bag offers all that I need and more. I has a removable, padded compartment for all of your camera equipment. The best part is that when zippered up it is quite inconspicuous and no one would immediately think that there are hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment inside. It just looks like a traveler's backpack and that's what I like about it the most. The top compartment looks confusing with the buckles and all, but it's actually a clever snap design made for quick and easy access. It's enough to fit a light jacket and maybe some souvenirs. There's a neat hidden zipper pocket on the inside where you can keep your wallet or passport or other important documents such as boarding passes, hotel keys, etc... The front and side pockets are good for additional camera accessories, maybe some pens or pencils, and small electronics. As far as build quality goes, that will have to stand the test of time, but it appears to be well built with strong and rugged fabric. It's not waterproof, but you're in luck with the rain cover included in a zipper compartment on the bottom side of the bag. I would definitely suggest this bag as a great way of protecting your camera gear, in a way that's fashionable, practical, and doesn't scream "Hey, steal me! I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of camera gear in here!"

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When I selected this case, I read in the Amazon description, "Compatible with most point and shoot cameras." This is just not true. Please make sure to check the dimensions of your camera before considering this case: 4.1" x 1.1" x 2.5". To put the size in perspective, my iPhone will not fit inside, my Flip camera just fits.

Once you know your camera will fit, you will find a nice little case. It has a rubber-like shell (not hard, but rather firm) with padding on the inside. The camera fits behind an elastic strap and on the opposite side is a pocket for batteries, memory cards or other accessories. It also includes an optional lanyard and belt strap that you can use to attach to your belt or a bag.

There are nylon strips on the inside that keep the case from opening wider than about 70 degrees. I found that these strips would stick out of the zipper when closing the case and I had to push them in to zip it closed. This seems like a design oversight. This wasn't much on an issue when the case was empty, but it would happen with my Flip camera inside.

With that flaw, I can't recommend this case.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I selected this case based on its small dimensions for my Kodak mini video camera. I was storing it in my purse in a ziploc bag so most anything was going to be an improvement. My father wanted to borrow it so I wanted it encased in a bit more protection since he prefers to go out without a purse. This little case basically meets the need for some protection. It has an interior pocket for a SD card or cable but I will not utilize it as there is the possibility of items falling out of said pocket when the case is open. I know to hold the case perfectly upright upon opening but I can not control the actions of others. The sewn on belt loop is a nice touch for hands free convenience. I would not go so far as to say that it is a true "hard" case since it is polyurethane and can be bent. Also keep in mind that there is padding on only one side of the case. Overall a definite upgrade from a ziploc bag with its additional features of dual zipper pulls and detachable lanyard. But, your needs may vary so also keep in mind the exterior dimensions of 5 x 1.8 x 3.7" and interior dimensions of 4.1 x 1.1 x 2.5".

Best Deals for Case Logic EHC-101 Point and Shoot Camera Case (Black)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Case Logic Point and Shoot Camera Case EHC-101 is a nice little case for small cameras at a reasonable price. Most small cameras will fit nicely, and there is a strap inside to secure the camera from moving around. The opposite side has a mesh pocket that will hold extra memory cards or possibly a small cable. Note, the side that the camera secures into has more padding.

The outer "hard-shell" is some kind of polyurethane material that is not extremely hard, but does provide more protection than if it were simply nylon. There are two zippers that have small cords with a type of tassel for easier finding and zipping. There is also a detachable lanyard that has a plastic clip that attaches to the plastic loop fixed to one side of the case. Additionally, there is a belt loop on one side of the case that I really don't see many people using.

Overall, it is a nice little case for small cameras. Recommended.

Honest reviews on Case Logic EHC-101 Point and Shoot Camera Case (Black)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This nice-looking semi-hard case does a decent job of protecting small cameras, but makes them not-so-small to carry.

I'm a fan of Caselogic camera bags (they make the bag I carry my dSLR in every day), so was pleased to be able to store my point-and-shoot pocket camera in a Caselogic. For the moment, it's my Canon SD4000 that lives in this case.

The SD4000 fits with plenty of room to spare. A substantially larger camera could fit, but those with a battery-bump (like some of the Canon A series) or models on the verge of being non-compact-sized would not fit.

The inside is nicely padded to hold the camera firmly. There's a spot to tuck something small (like an SD card or maybe a spare battery), but definitely not enough space to carry anything else noteworthy.

The semi-hard case has a firm fabric surface that offers extra protection over a sleeker unpadded fit. The extra padding and structure does mean your pocket camera is no longer pocketable, nor would it fit in a smaller women's purse. The pull-tabs on the zipper are substantial and easy to grasp.

The short lanyard is too short to be useful, and would be most effective for fishing the camera out of a larger bag. There's also a belt-loop, but that seems like an odd way to carry a small camera (with the exception perhaps of during a hike).

The amount of bulk is off-putting since I think most people who buy a camera small enough to fit this case had intended to carry it in their pocket or purse. But for my travel or excursions, this case is perfect to protect the small camera while in transit (in a backpack or suitcase or messenger bag), and the camera can then be carried bare when I expect to use it. For that limited (but important) purpose, this case is Recommended.

I ordered this a while back and did receive it promptly. I use it for my sony alpha nex-5n, and soon my minolta x-700 also. While there is plenty of room to fit both cameras and the lenses, I really don't like the dividers. Since they are held in place by velcro, they sometimes will come undone, compromising my cameras. My only advice is to do plenty of research before buying a camera bag.

Pros : lightweight, plenty of room for cameras and lenses, easy to use

Cons : generic velcro, thin materials, not padded enough

I wanted a bag to hold my Nikon D40 with the 18-200 mm lens attached and just enough room to fit the SB-400 speedlight on the side. This bag is well designed for that purpose and has a little room left over for memory cards, usb cable etc. The length is a little tight with a filter on the lens, but it still fits fine...just no space for extra padding there.

I own a couple of other Lowepro camera bags. I wouldn't buy any other. I originally ordered the Apex 100 based on the Lowepro selection guide, but had to upgrade to this bag to contain all of my attachments. Perhaps not the least expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

This bag fits my Panasonic Lumix perfectly. It is just enough protection to keep the camera from being banged up or scratched.

I can't recommend this case not for the expense for what little it is and definitely not for the inflated shipping costs. This little case is fair as far as cases go, but it is 'really' tiny. You'll be hard pressed to fit more than another card in it (and maybe without the SD card's protective case depending on the size of it). I normally like to carry a spare battery, but it seems I'll have to choose between card and battery. The shipping was not the $2.98 quoted when I checked shipping costs prior to purchasing but an unjustified $6.98. Crazy. Contacted the seller about shipping discrepancy, but they would do nothing. Shop elsewhere.

bought it for my mother-in-law and she loves it! Her favorite color is red too very soft and a nice safety cushion for any smaller compact camera

Honest reviews on rooCASE (Flamming Red) SLV2 Neoprene Sleeve Carrying Case Panasonic

I got the case at the same time I purchased the Panasonic Lumix DMS-TS3. (Cameras should be shipped with a case, I think.) The case was serving me well for over two years now. I find the whole edge and corners reasonably padded, so it prevents the camera from results of abuse. Since it is not a hard case, it can be put in a pocket, when not in use, without even knowing about it. The zippered side pocket will hold a spare battery, though it is bulging out. And, the bulge rubs on other stuff, so it gets dirty. I did not try to wash it, I used the camera in environment, where it does not matter.

The case I have does not look quite like the one pictured, which seems to open fully on one long and one short side. Mine opens the long top starting on the short sides, two thirds up, same distance on both.

It is advertised as "Flamming red." It is red, but not flamming.

Why only three points? A case with the same features can be found in many discount stores, for less money. You just have to have your camera in hand and try what fits.

Although this is a handsome looking case, it is poorly thought out and not very useful. First of all, unlike most fitted camera cases of this type, the front piece is not hinged to the bottom piece. So one cannot take photos without complete removal of the lens cover piece, and then one has it to hold while trying to take a photo. In addition, if one has the optional viewfinder, which is almost a necessity with this camera--the case can't hold the camera with viewfinder attached, which means that one must have a place to safely store this small, delicate and expensive piece of equipment. Attaching and removing the viewfinder for each photo is not practical. The base plate with camera strap is the only part of the case that I am able to use--hardly worth the cost of this accessory. I would award it something less than one star if that were allowed.

This case fits my DP1 snugly, offering a secure and padded environment for my compact camera. It allows you to use the strap outside the case, and fits in my pocket comfortably.

Be aware, however, this case truly was designed for the DP1. It did not fit my DP2 due to the difference in lens size. While most other DP1 accessories work with the DP2 and DP2s this one does not.

This case easily fit my DP1x along with the Sigma external eyepiece installed. I can crush it and put it in my pocket if I need too.

In my search for a camera bag that did NOT look like a camera bag, I discovered the Lowepro Passport Sling...and I LOVE it! I could not find any reviews on this product so hopefully this review will help someone else who is searching for that perfect camera bag...that doesn't LOOK like a camera bag. The Passport Sling is not too big yet large enough to hold my gear. Unloaded, the bag is also very lightweight. It features a removable camera box which attaches to the bag with Velcro, 2 small interior flap pockets (for phone, iPod, credit cards, gum, etc.), 2 exterior pockets, 1 exterior water bottle pocket (which I have yet to use for a water bottle), adjustable shoulder strap, and expandability.

I wish the external pockets were a little deeper/wider and designed in the shape of a rectangle instead of a trapezoid so items could fit better. Although a travel book and map would fit inside the bag, it would be nice to have quick and easy access on the outside of the bag. I would feel more secure if the external pockets had either a zip or Velcro closure so I don't feel like items might fall out.

The camera box has 1 adjustable Velcro divider which I configured with my Nikon D90 and 18mm-200mm lens attached on the left side and both the 35mm f/1.8 and 50mm f/1.8 (filter attached) side by side in the other half of the camera box. (I'm not going to lie, it's a little snug fitting them side by side but I like knowing that I have both with me.) There's still some space on top of the prime lenses for a spare camera battery, 4 AA batteries (for my SB-600), and some other small accessories (spare SD card, card reader, camera remote). The flap of the divider folds over nicely to cover the lenses/accessories and provides a cushion to protect the lenses and camera grip. I keep the SB-600 next to the camera box in its padded case to stay protected since the bag itself does NOT have any padding. There is also a small pocket on the soft box to hold a spare SD card. I wish they had other pockets on the side of the camera box to hold some other small accessories for quick access (cleaning cloth, rear lens cover, lens cap, pen loops, etc.). Even with all this camera gear in the bag, there is still some room inside for other things and I haven't even expanded the bag!! I usually keep the bag UN-expanded but I like knowing that I have the option to increase my space if I need it, especially when sightseeing. I do have a tendency to do a bit of shopping while traveling!!

It's great that the camera box is removable so the bag can then be used as a regular bag to hold anything you want to put in it. I wish there were some internal zippered pockets, especially if I ever use the bag WITHOUT the camera box so there is more organization. The current design does not really have a place for any other internal pockets (aside from the flap pockets already included) so I do understand why there aren't any in there. I LOVE the look of the bag so much that I could easily see myself using with without the camera box...as if I EVER leave the house without my camera!!!

I chose the Mica color because I wanted something neutral and I have enough black bags. The Mica is like a dark khaki/olive, both male or female could feel comfortable carrying this color.

Although the bag was designed to be worn across the body, it can also just be worn as a shoulder bag. Personally, I like the security of wearing it crossbody because the bag will not fall off my shoulder. The strap length is more than adequate for me (I'm 5"4' and 115-120 lbs.) and is adjustable. I imagine this bag would be fit someone much taller or much smaller than me.

The bag was announced in early 2009 and I am surprised that I have not seen more of these in stores or available online. It is such a great bag!! When I purchased mine earlier this year, I had to special order it and it took a couple weeks to arrive. Maybe I should shut my mouth so I am the only person out there carrying the Passport Sling!

I purchased the Lowepro Passport Sling for my recent trip to Italy. I wanted an easy access, stylish camera bag to use while I travelled. I carried a Canon 7D with it's 18-135mm lens, my 70-200mm, 2.8L lens, a few memory cards and filters. The bag functioned very well and was comfortable to use, easy to access. The padded area for my camera and it's primary lens was barely big enough. A Rebel would have fit very comfortably, but my camera was very tight. I would have liked to have had my battery grip on too, but there was no way it would have fit. I had plenty of room for my 70-200mm, 2.8L, but the area in the bag that it fit had no extra padding, so I had to add my own with a crunched up t-shirt.

The improvements that I would recommend would be as follows: make the bag slightly larger to accommodate a full size camera more comfortably; add some extra padding in a secondary compartment to protect a second lens and/or flash unit; and lastly, add zippers to the external pockets of the bag to hold a passport, money, filters, etc. more securely.

I just received this bag today and at first sight it seemed kinda small. However, when I opened the zipper and expanded the bag, the size appeared to be average (not too big... not too small).

When I looked at the interior, I immediately saw the problem. There is not enough space for my gears. This bag is simply for the casual photographer having an entry-level DSLR with a kit lens. By the way, what I meant with "not enough space" refers to the padded area of the bag. You wouldn't want to put your camera or your lens on an unprotected space would you?

To address the above issue, I stripped the removable "paddings" from my old camera bag and stuffed them into this bag. With proper arrangement, I was able to fit the following items inside the bag:

1. Nikon D7000 with attached MD-11 battery grip

2. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 vr ii telephoto lens with lens hood attached (reversed)

3. Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens (attached to the camera) with lens hood attached (reversed)

4. Nikon 10-24mm wide angle lens

5. Nikon SB-800 speedlight with 5th battery compartment attached

6. Lens hood for 10-24mm lens.

I am giving this bag 4-stars because of it's looks, material quality, design, and configurability. Had it been a little bit bigger with sufficient padding, then this bag would definitely be the best walk-around bag.

When should you NOT buy this bag?

a. If you have a D300 and up (or 7D and up) with battery grip, don't bother with this bag unless you decide to remove the battery grip.

b. If you don't have "paddings" to fill the unprotected part of the bag interior and you want to place lenses or other expensive gears on this part.

Which bags should you consider as alternatives?

The bags that come close to this bag in terms of elegance and "casual or non-typical-camera-bag-looks" are the Crumpler million-dollar-bags or the Domke bags. Tamrac has the Rally series i think? But of all these bags, the passport sling bag is the most unique, best-looking, unconventional, and you-wouldn't-think-it's-a-camera-bag image.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Passport Sling

I'll keep it short because everyone's got the details covered, but I'll add the extra 5 stars that it deserves, and try shed some light on what seems like some pretty silly 2 to 3 star reviews...

So, you take the time to write a review to essentially tell us that you bought the wrong bag. The bag is perfect for what it is*. No it does not hold a D700/5D MKII+ with pro lenses... if you want full-frame body with lenses in a little shoulder bag, you need a Leica M9... perhaps re-review after trying it out with an approate setup? Why would you want to carry the amount weight of equipment that people are complaining that it doesn't fit, over your shoulder in what is essentially a large purse?

If you've got a small to midsize DSRL and a handful of primes, or maybe a rangefinder or a manual focus SLR; it's mint. The D7000, my 35mm, 50mm, and 105mm, fit with room to spare for: wallet, phone, flash, gorrilapod, etc... more than enough equipment to take some great photographs.

I apologize for any dryness... just trying to add some thoughts for anyone looking for an affordable semi-under-the-radar camera bag.

I purchased this bag to use with the Canon T2i with the kit lens. I initially did not like the bag's rigid structure. I'm a petite woman, and this bag hung awkwardly on my back.

However, after spending 6 weeks carrying this bag around Ethiopia, I can honestly say I don't think I could have found a more perfect camera bag for travel. This bag is definitely not for someone with a lot of camera gear. But it is a great all-in-one for someone who wants their camera bag to hold all their other essentials, as well.

The padded camera pocket is divided and held my camera with lens attached, as well as a small extra lens (Canon "nifty-fifty"). I also toted a glasses case, water bottle, granola bars, and sunscreen in the large inner pouch. The inner pockets were great for holding my iPod nano, extra memory cards, and a cell phone. The outer pockets were perfect for hand sanitizer, lotion, kleenex, a small notepad, pens, and more snacks.

On the plane I carried this bag along with a backpack. Unzipping the large pouch allowed space for a travel pillow and a change of clothes.

I found the padded section of the bag strap to be unnecessary and never wore it. The strap alone was comfortable enough, even without the padded support.

After beating this bag up for weeks, it still looks like new. The material is rugged and durable. And my camera was always safe. Fellow travelers were constantly digging through bags and struggling to access cameras. The sling design made it easy for me to quickly grab my camera, and the various pockets kept everything organized.
