Best BUILT Neoprene Ultra Compact Hoodie Camera Case, Mini Dot Navy Deals
List Price: $15.99
Sale Price: $6.98
Today's Bonus: 56% Off
I needed a camera case for my Fujifilm FinePix XP10 12 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) and liked the Mini Dot Navy design from Built so I decided to give it a try. The case is the perfect size and shape. It has a snug fit that keeps my camera from moving around and has a terry cloth lined hard backing that protects the screen from scratches and breaking. It also has a "pocket" to keep an extra memory card. Although it's not listed in the description I can also fit an extra battery. My battery is flat and square and fits nicely inside this "pocket" but I don't think larger round batteries will fit. Also, the case is not big enough to fit a charger so if your needing to carry a charger too this is not the camera case for you.This camera case is a very snug fit for a compact digital camera. Also room in the back for an extra battery or card.

List Price: $33.99

I bought this case intending to use it with a Canon VIXIA HV30. Here is what I found:
Pro:
-Case is sturdy, made in China (what isn't these days?).
-Comes with a shoulder strap.
-Has a lifetime warranty.
I tried to stuff all the accessories in to see how much it would hold. Whether anyone would need to carry all these things, I wouldn't know, but I think it is a good way to do it for review purposes.
The Canon HV30 fits in the main pocket. One side pocket holds the remote and an extra film tape. One side pocket will hold 2 batteries. There is a zippered compartment behind the main one. It held the adapter and plug for a wall, but absolutely nothing else. For the front side pocket, it would hold 2 extra film tapes, maybe a cellphone. There is a zippered mesh bag on the inside front of the front pocket that could hold change, batteries, possibly a miniSD card.
I am not sure how I would fit a battery charger, manual, videomic, usb or firewire cables, or other accessories. If traveling some people might leave the battery charger in their room, but if you were taking it out for professional use you might need it. Either way, there is no space for these things.
Con:
-It will not hold many accessories.
-The belt loop on the back is uncomfortable with anything in the back pocket.
-It has decent padding, but seems a bit thin. I include it as a con because I like to protect my stuff very well. It might be good to some.
On the whole, it is a decent, but small case (interior dimensions are 4.7"W x 6.3"H x 1.97"D). If I was only carrying a camera around I think it would fit my needs perfectly. For a person using a camcorder with lots of attachments, I would say look elsewhere.

This bag is fantastic for the price! Lots of pockets to hold the little things, too. I really like the yellow interior it made it easy to see everything in it. I wish there was a handle on the top, but I would definitely buy again!Best Deals for Ape Case Digital Camera and Mini Camcorder Case
Really surprised at the high quality of this bag. The materials, construction, and workmanship is first class. Overall, excellent product, excellent service, excellent deal. Highly recommend.Honest reviews on Ape Case Digital Camera and Mini Camcorder Case
I bought this for my 5inch GPS. Most of the GPS cases I looked at were designed for 4.3inch GPS, but my new unit is 5inch.Like other Ape Bags, this product is well constructed, has great pocket sizes and has a bright yellow contrast interior. It's a brand that speaks for itself.
This bag has 5 pockets. The main pocket has 2 mesh pockets inside (one each front and back); the front pouch has 2 sd-card sized pockets and a mesh pocket inside; each of the side pockets has a mesh pocket (about the size of 2 AA batteries); the flat back pocket is divided. All interior pockets and dividers are well constructed. The variety of sizes ensures you'll have somewhere to safely store each small part you may have; but none of the interior dividers take up/waste a lot of space like some bags I've owned.
Also, although it's not shown in the photos, this bag does come with a narrow shoulder strap, which is adjustable in length and had a non-slip coating on one side.

I was looking for a small case that would hold my GPS unit, a battery charger for my iPod, a wall charger for my ipod, a small camera, and all of the associated cables. This case carries it all and with room to spare. I suppose I'm using it more as an organizer. When I check into a hotel, this case carries all of my electronics into the room for charging. It's built well, padded, with plenty of pockets and zippered compartments, but not too large.

Best Tenba Car Case P2003 Wheeled Wedding Case Deals
(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The Tenba Car Case P2003 Wheeled Wedding Case is a good piece of luggage for transporting your photo and video equipment. The construction quality is good, and the low-key appearance will appeal to those who don't want to draw attention to the equipment they are transporting. But this case is somewhat limited by a few design elements, and the capacity is not enough to make it a carry-all. So after reviewing all the factors I decided to retire this case and go with an alternative.
PROS:
++ Rigid foam and plastic wall-panels can be removed and cleaned
++ Wrap-around double zippered opening makes it easy to organize your equipment
++ Padded pocket provides added protection and separation for accessories
++ Velcro straps & fuzzy walls accommodate optional accessories such as the magazine pack (MP) & lens pack (LPZ-4)
++ Compact enough dimensions (L12'' x H21'' x D12'') for potential flight carry-on & overhead storage
++ Padded hand-strap makes it easy to grab and go
++ Oversized 2-inch curved padded shoulder strap allows for comfortable transport
++ Telescoping handle and wheels makes it easy to cart around
++ Durable and weather resistant ballistic nylon material
++ Zippers can be locked closed for added security
++ Integrated Velcro lashing tabs for mounting your camera and / or strobe & bracket inside
++ External Velcro straps for your tripod or monopod
++ Low-key appearance won't draw attention to the equipment you are transporting
++ Integrated feet on the base for standing
++ Generous 5-year warrantee covers everything outside of intentional destruction
CONS:
-Though they are included in the production picture, the case does not include the magazine pack (MP) or lens pack (LPZ-4)
-Somewhat limited capacity & compartments prevent using this as a carry-all
-Insufficient attachment hooks and loops for hooking things onto
-Little padding or anti-shock protection built-in
-Handle is not reinforced, unlike alternatives
-Compared to alternatives, also has slightly less versatility for layout and organization
-No externally accessible zippered pockets for incidental storage
-Comes at a premium
KEY FEATURES & CONSIDERATIONS
The storage compartment includes a nice padded pocket, as well as space for additional accessories that can be added with adjustable velcro straps. The depth is good for fitting most bracketed setups.
The walls and cover all have wrap-around zippers so that the rigid foam and plastic walls inside can be removed and cleaned. That's probably this unit's best feature. I don't know how durable those plastic panels actually are, but they appear to be stable enough.
But I find several design elements of this case to be limiting. There are loops for a tripod or monopod on the side of the case. But there are no additional loops or carabiners for smaller accessories. The positioning of the internal lashing tabs also limited the setup options.
COMPARING TO ALTERNATIVES
I debated between this and the Pelican hard-shell case. The handle is not reinforced but it includes a functional but basic leather material cover. Contrast that against the Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Black), which has a thick hard plastic steel reinforced handle and all metal hinges. The Pelican case gives you the extra confidence of potential water tight usage. You also have the option of fabric dividers and foam, both of which are customizable to make a large number of smaller internal compartments.
This case is more forgiving for fitting into an overhead luggage compartment. But the included dividers will only accommodate a small number of accessories. And while the Velcro sides allow you hook in more dividers, the lack of Velcro on the back, top and bottom limit the kinds of items that can be stored in ad-hoc compartments.
For those that want a fabric case, Tenba also makes a unit without the wheels, frame and telescoping handle, the Tenba 634-601 P2001 Wedding Car Case (Black/Blue). But because the fabric handle is not reinforced, I wouldn't really advise that one unless you are transporting it inside of something else.
There are other fabric cases like the Lowepro Pro Roller x100 Camera Bag (Black), but I have to look at them more before I can comment.
CONDITION
As a side note, the unit I initially received seemed old, dirty and used. It differed from the product picture in that the wheels were not as wide and, instead, were centered under the case. I was surprised because I thought this was a new model. Amazon was more than willing to replace the unit. But after looking everything over, I have decided to explore the alternatives.
CONCLUSION
This is a nice compact piece of equipment luggage made with high quality lightweight materials. While it didn't meet my needs, it is one of the most compact cases of this kind. Be sure to review your options and if you choose this one I hope it works for you.
Enjoy.

Reviews of Lowepro Rezo 20 (Leaf Green)
This is a very nice case at a great price. It is just big enough for the camera and a few small accessories. It is moderately padded. It has a long neck strap. Its belt strap has both velcro and a snap for extra security. There is a double-zipper section for the camera and also a front velcro flap that has a gusseted compartment for memory cards, batteries, etc. That compartment has a mesh separator in the middle so it's actually two compartments which is handy. The green color is attractive and modern and not too bright.
Sometimes I get a little confused about the two compartments and want to use the velcro front compartment to grab the camera, but I'm sure I'll get used to that. I do appreciate the zipper for the camera section because it adds security. The double-zippers are good because you can have it partly open but still keep the camera secure.
The only potential problem I see is if you want to keep more accessories with the camera. It is fine for a couple of cards and an extra battery (or even two) but that's about it. On the other hand, that's really all you need with this camera. (I also keep a cleaning cloth and a tiny brush in it.) This is a great case for my uses and this camera and I would buy it again, no question.

I am an international traveler that hates to just throw my camera in a pocket and hope it survives my trip. I am also very picky about my camera case. This case is perfect! It holds my camera tight and protects the front and back. I was surprised how well the neoprene protects the front of my camera despite the neoprene being soft. The back is nice and solid so I don't have to worry about my screen getting cracked. The top flips open quickly and I can get my camera out fast enough for those spontaneous shots. I love the pocket created between the hard back and outer layer of neoprene, it's great for extra cards and batteries. It holds them tight enough that you don't have to worry about them falling out but not so tight you have to work to get them out. Wish I had discovered this years ago!Best Deals for BUILT Neoprene Hoodie Camera Case, Scuba Blue
I'm really pleased with the color and quality of this case. When you pull the flap back you see that there's an additional space to put extra memory cards, etc. However, I feel like I'm squeezing my camera in there, and it's pretty small. At least it's snug. I'd recommend this case.Monday, December 22, 2014

This bag serves as my "go-to" bag for grabbing whenever I'm heading out to do a quick camera shoot in my local area. I can get my Canon 60D and its 2 lenses, the Canon Flash, extra batteries, lens hood, and charger in it without difficulty. At 5'1" bag loaded like it is, isn't weighing me down any beyond it's minimal bag weight. I also use the bag as an additional luggage item (i.e., purse) when I travel. And, National Geographic has done an excellent job (in my mind) to make the satchel look not anything like a camera bag. Lastly, it's made very well!

Absolutely love this bag! It holds my D3100, lens, ipad, a small umbrella and water bottle comfortably. Without the insert, it's roomy as a day travelling bag. Love its rugged appearance, and that there's a zip all round the top so that prying hands can't get to your contents. The strap is securely stitched to the bag as well.

This bag took several weeks for Amazon to finally ship to me, but it was worth the wait. I was looking for something that would fit my Pentax k-5 + 18-135mm lens attached, i-pad, nook reader, smaller p&s camera/lens, 2 chargers, cables, sunglasses in a fat plastic hard case, cell phone, passport, travel documents, etc. for my next "travel light" trip. In other words, something to stash everything I will need, besides a carry-on for clothes. I think this will do the job nicely. It is sturdy, well made, and quite roomy, but will fit under the passenger seat in front of you. The bag is very lightweight, made with what feels like heavy canvas. The inner padded case for the dslr is removeable, so you can use the bag as a regular small satchel with a large inner compartment. There are two zippered compartments on the outside of the flap that can hold small, flat items. There is a second zippered section outside of the main compartment that will hold all the other incidentals I mentioned. This is the midsized model, as the name Midi indicates. There is a smaller and larger size, so be aware which size you are ordering. The only thing I am not too thrilled with is the buckles on the exterior flap. It's fine for securing everything during transport, but not very convenient if I wanted to have quick access to the my camera. I guess I will just leave the flap unbuckled when I know I will be using my camera. Otherwise, it's a great bag.Monday, December 8, 2014

Considering the low price and the lack of information given for the product the end result was surprisingly good. The case accommodated my Nikon D90 as well as the Sigma 18-200 lens without a problem. (I wasn't sure that my lens type would fit) The part of the case that covered the lens was easily removed but you were also able to use the camera without removing it completely. The Eynpire case protected the camera without getting in the way and that is why I bought this product. I am happy with the choice!

Cheap Canon 200EG Deluxe Digital SLR Camera Back Pack Case + Precision
The back pack is great...obviously it is a canon back pack and it is exactly what I thought it was. Maybe I didn't do enough research before deciding to buy the extras but they really aren't worth it. I am nervous about using the filters on my canon rebel because it is like putting a two dollar product on a thousand dollar lens...seem like a waste. The cleaning kit you can buy at walgreens for two dollars and the tripod is only for point and shoots...this backpack is obviously meant for a DSLR body Not a point and shoot...so I am not sure what the purpose of including this tripod, in a kit for this bag, is. So bottom line...buy the bag it is awesome...save the twenty extra dollars and skip the extras kit...it is a waste :)
The lens cap holder has come in handy TONS of times. Inspired me to get one for all of my lenses. Cleaning "wand" is more gimmicky than anything but functional none the less. Love the filters as an added perk.
The tripod is more for beginner mode and isn't very stable but it came with it, so no complaints. I prefer a gorilla stand personally, but it's OK if you use it on level surfaces. Otherwise you risk tipping over. And the extra screen covers was genius addition. I've ever scratched my screen but I really never even thought about it until I put one on the camera. Glad I did it! Glad they were included!
Pack is compact, light weight, seems durable and well built for the most part. Handles most environments, from snow of the Rockies to the salt water spray of the Pacific (Certainly NOT waterproof though).
Lots of room on the outside for add-ons but not so good for traveling when things are on the outside. Needs a true place for a tripod/mono-pod holder though. That's the only thing lacking.
Overall a terrific buy. Highly recommend it!
Good materials but not the best bag for more than a beginner.
For the money, it's an awesome bag. But if you take a lot of photos and move around a lot it may get worn out after a while.

Honest reviews on Canon 200EG Deluxe Digital SLR Camera Back Pack Case + Precision
While the bag is nicely designed and has worked well be very cautious of the main compartment zipper placement. with the zippers both placed at the top of the bag it can easily open when snagged on something, spilling the contents on the ground or in my case on the concrete. This bag is also difficult and a bit awkward to carry.Good materials but not the best bag for more than a beginner.

The bag when I first got it, was the perfect bag. Fits everything perfectly. And your camera goes in without taking lens off... But after having it for about a year, the bottom flat piece started to stick out and stab me in the back. And out of no where one of the straps came off, ripping out a hole in the compartments. Also, the netting inside, I keep extra AA's and eventually the netting ripped loose.For the money, it's an awesome bag. But if you take a lot of photos and move around a lot it may get worn out after a while.

Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro Review
I just came back from a 4 day trip to Zion National Park with the Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack Black. I own many camera bags including one from Lowepro (Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW) but none of them fit my needs for my camping trip. I wanted a bag that (1) provided a padded easy-access compartment to hold my Canon 7D with 1-2 extra lenses and extra battery/memory card, (2) had extra room for food and extra clothing, (3) was comfortable especially for long hikes, (4) had room for a hydration pouch, and (5) featured rain or water protection. This backpack had all of these!
Camera Compartment:
I thought of using one of my normal backpacks for the trip but I did not want to risk my gear bouncing around inside. I was extremely impressed with the camera compartment. It was padded all around and was separate from the rest of the bag. The compartment also opens from the side which allowed quick access. I did not want to bring my full camera gear on this trip; I just wanted to bring my essential zoom lenses to get scenery and action shorts of my family. It fit my Canon 7D with 17-55mm f/2.8 and 70-300mm f/4-5.6L with hoods attached snugly.
Stuff Compartment:
Above the camera compartment was a large open space to store whatever I needed for the day. This part of the bag opened with a cinch cord on the top and had a small zippered compartment inside. I managed to fit 2 windbreakers, snacks/granola bars, 4 juice boxes, 4 sandwiches, 2 extra water bottles, and extra memory card/battery with some extra room to spare. The top pouch which covers the stuff compartment features a zipper pouch for quick access. I stored a multitool, 3 sunglasses, cellphone, keys, and a flashlight in there with room to spare.
Everything Else:
The compartment for the hydration pack was extremely convenient; I fit my 70oz CamelBak into there which lasted me the whole day. The compartment is also quite large so I can see someone fitting in a small (no bigger than 13") laptop, netbook, or tablet into there. The shoulder straps were comfortable and did not strain me out like normal backpacks. The side waist straps kept the back from bouncing side to side and also had small pouches where I fit a sunblock bottle and my Canon S95. The back padding was adequate and had channels so your back does not get too sweaty. The internal frame kept the bag sturdy and helped with support. The rain cover tucks inconspicuously on the bottom of the pack and was useful when we hiked along a chest high river in the Narrows (if you go to Zion check this trail out). There is a tight front pouch where I managed to store a towel and a pair of sandals and a water bottle pouch on the opposite side of the camera compartment opening which fit my 1 liter aluminum water bottle easily.
Pros:
Lightweight and secure on the body
I am 5'11" and the bag sat well on my shoulders. I went on a 8 hour hike and did not notice the bag at all.
Padded camera compartment
Extra room for other gear/food/misc items
Hydration compartment
Rain cover
Does not look like a typical camera bag!
Cons:
I wish the bag was a bit larger horizontally. I would have loved to bring my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II but it did not fit without bulging out the other side.
You have to provide your own or buy a hydration bladder
This backpack served me well for my hiking daytrips; it offered everything I needed in a camera/hiking backpack hybrid. It is NOT a store-all carry-all type of camera bag such as the Photo Trekker series from Lowepro. This bag lets you carry the essentials for a daytrip and a DSLR with 1-2 lenses.
I will try not to cover stuff in other reviews, but here is a couple of minor things I didnt know before I bought it:
1.The stuff sack at the top actually goes all the way to the bottom of the bag around the camera case. This is great and not great. Great because you can put stuff down there; not great for keeping medium size things in the larger compartment without them sliding to the bottom. This can be fixed by pulling the outside cinch straps tight. If I had a choice, I would leave it the way it is. It turns out that an Adventura 120 bag (maybe even a 140) fits perfectly in the top part of the stuff sack, so I took all my little parts, flash and extra lens and put them in that in the top of the stuff sack of the 200AW. When I go mountain biking, I just take it out and go.
2. A hydration bladder does not come with it. There is a place for one up to 70oz with a nice hole for the hose. I put an old Camelback bladder in and it works fine although the bottom next to the camera case is a little tight. With no bladder, you could also put a small laptop in this section if you needed to.
3. The waist straps do not fold in to anything to hide them when not in use. Once again it is fine with me but I could see them being a minor inconvenience while traveling. The waist straps actually work very well for me. I was able to put most of the weight on me hips which surprised me. The aluminum stiffeners work pretty well.
Aside these minor things it is a great bag for the active person, especially for the price. It isn't made for holding all of your camera equipment. It is however made for taking your camera and some equipment somewhere where the view is great in comfort and style.
1. Quick access to camera
2. Backpack-style for hiking/biking
3. Water access
4. Space for other items other than camera
5. Light
6. Waist and sternum straps
* There is a frame to the back panel of the pack separating the water compartment from the padded camera compartment, giving the backpack some vertical shape/structure.
* As previously mentioned by another reviewer, I fit a 70oz. Camelback bladder into the water compartment of the pack without a problem there is some tightness at the bottom of the pack where the padded camera compartment bumps up against, but if you leave room in the water bladder to adjust the shape, it's not a big deal.
* I've found the waist belt to be a very valuable feature. My typical use case: I'm on a mountain bike and see something I want to photograph. I'll get off my bike, take my right shoulder strap off, swing my backpack around my left side while still attached to the waist strap, and quickly pull out camera.
* The camera compartment is nicely-sized for my needs. I shoot with a Canon 5D mk II and have attached the stock 24-105 lens. If I wanted to, inside the padded compartment, I can place a 580EXII in there with no problem. That side compartment has enough give where instead of a flash, I could fit my 70-200 F/2.8 IS II lens in there as well. Admittedly, with the 70-200 in there, the backpack bulges out a little bit, but it fits snugly. I found that with the 5D mk II, I didn't have to cinch up the camera compartment. I could pull the padded cover down, zip up the backpack cover, and not worry about my camera spilling out or anything. I value speed over snugness and whereas I might get a little more snugness out of using the padded compartment's drawstring, I get a lot of speed out of not using it.
* There are compression straps that allow you to attach either a throw or a fleece underneath the pack I found that I could attach a Gitzo Series 1 traveler tripod underneath the pack with very little fuss.
* One mini-gripe the construction doesn't actually feel like a Lowepro bag. For the target market, the fabrics used are very light which is great, and there's double/triple stitching in places that would potentially be break points, but a little more padding around the shoulders might be nice. That said, I don't REALLY have a problem with the straps.
* Found the larger non-camera compartment very useful for carrying snacks, a replacement bike tube, and tools. Also as previously noted, it's great that the compartment reaches all the way down to the bottom of the bag, but could be a little frustrating as well since you'd have to reach your hand down the top and around the padded compartment to reach items that may have fallen down there.
* There's the top cover over the large non-padded compartment that is zippered and that will store things like keys or protein bars.
* Also, as a sense of space, when I'm not taking it outdoors in the wilderness, I pack the water compartment with an iPad 2 which fits very nicely.
The one mini-gripe aside, this is by far my favorite camera bag for hiking and mountain biking. I would give it 4.75 stars if I could, taking it a smidgen down for what I thought could be studier build quality, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means.
I've owned GoLite backpacks, and to me this product appears to have had strong influence from that company. It's comfortable, light, and secure. First impressions? Appears to be a winner for the money for certain.
Camera Compartment:
I thought of using one of my normal backpacks for the trip but I did not want to risk my gear bouncing around inside. I was extremely impressed with the camera compartment. It was padded all around and was separate from the rest of the bag. The compartment also opens from the side which allowed quick access. I did not want to bring my full camera gear on this trip; I just wanted to bring my essential zoom lenses to get scenery and action shorts of my family. It fit my Canon 7D with 17-55mm f/2.8 and 70-300mm f/4-5.6L with hoods attached snugly.
Stuff Compartment:
Above the camera compartment was a large open space to store whatever I needed for the day. This part of the bag opened with a cinch cord on the top and had a small zippered compartment inside. I managed to fit 2 windbreakers, snacks/granola bars, 4 juice boxes, 4 sandwiches, 2 extra water bottles, and extra memory card/battery with some extra room to spare. The top pouch which covers the stuff compartment features a zipper pouch for quick access. I stored a multitool, 3 sunglasses, cellphone, keys, and a flashlight in there with room to spare.
Everything Else:
The compartment for the hydration pack was extremely convenient; I fit my 70oz CamelBak into there which lasted me the whole day. The compartment is also quite large so I can see someone fitting in a small (no bigger than 13") laptop, netbook, or tablet into there. The shoulder straps were comfortable and did not strain me out like normal backpacks. The side waist straps kept the back from bouncing side to side and also had small pouches where I fit a sunblock bottle and my Canon S95. The back padding was adequate and had channels so your back does not get too sweaty. The internal frame kept the bag sturdy and helped with support. The rain cover tucks inconspicuously on the bottom of the pack and was useful when we hiked along a chest high river in the Narrows (if you go to Zion check this trail out). There is a tight front pouch where I managed to store a towel and a pair of sandals and a water bottle pouch on the opposite side of the camera compartment opening which fit my 1 liter aluminum water bottle easily.
Pros:
Lightweight and secure on the body
I am 5'11" and the bag sat well on my shoulders. I went on a 8 hour hike and did not notice the bag at all.
Padded camera compartment
Extra room for other gear/food/misc items
Hydration compartment
Rain cover
Does not look like a typical camera bag!
Cons:
I wish the bag was a bit larger horizontally. I would have loved to bring my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II but it did not fit without bulging out the other side.
You have to provide your own or buy a hydration bladder
This backpack served me well for my hiking daytrips; it offered everything I needed in a camera/hiking backpack hybrid. It is NOT a store-all carry-all type of camera bag such as the Photo Trekker series from Lowepro. This bag lets you carry the essentials for a daytrip and a DSLR with 1-2 lenses.

I got this bag a few weeks ago and have been mountain biking a couple times a week with it since. As always, Lowepro has made another great bag. This is basically a day pack with a camera holder in the side. The new cinch mechanism seems to work pretty well to keep the camera in one spot. I have a Nikon D3100 right at the moment (waiting on my D7000 to get here) and it fits fine with a 55-300mm lens on it with space for another lens or flash. I have no doubt that my new camera will fit just fine with the same lens. I have been able to stick a small, lightweight tripod in the side that has the bottle holder, but I wouldnt recommend doing that to often to the strechy fabric bottle holder. If you were hiking, you could also strap it underneath. Nothing to heavy though. Another plus is that other than the Lowepro label, it does not look like a camera bag.I will try not to cover stuff in other reviews, but here is a couple of minor things I didnt know before I bought it:
1.The stuff sack at the top actually goes all the way to the bottom of the bag around the camera case. This is great and not great. Great because you can put stuff down there; not great for keeping medium size things in the larger compartment without them sliding to the bottom. This can be fixed by pulling the outside cinch straps tight. If I had a choice, I would leave it the way it is. It turns out that an Adventura 120 bag (maybe even a 140) fits perfectly in the top part of the stuff sack, so I took all my little parts, flash and extra lens and put them in that in the top of the stuff sack of the 200AW. When I go mountain biking, I just take it out and go.
2. A hydration bladder does not come with it. There is a place for one up to 70oz with a nice hole for the hose. I put an old Camelback bladder in and it works fine although the bottom next to the camera case is a little tight. With no bladder, you could also put a small laptop in this section if you needed to.
3. The waist straps do not fold in to anything to hide them when not in use. Once again it is fine with me but I could see them being a minor inconvenience while traveling. The waist straps actually work very well for me. I was able to put most of the weight on me hips which surprised me. The aluminum stiffeners work pretty well.
Aside these minor things it is a great bag for the active person, especially for the price. It isn't made for holding all of your camera equipment. It is however made for taking your camera and some equipment somewhere where the view is great in comfort and style.

I felt the need to write a review of what is now my favorite camera bag. I've looked for a very long time for one that met all my requirements, and this one fits the bill. To summarize what I've been looking for:1. Quick access to camera
2. Backpack-style for hiking/biking
3. Water access
4. Space for other items other than camera
5. Light
6. Waist and sternum straps

Honest reviews on Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro
I've owned a lot of camera packs, and my quest for the perfect pack is still in process. This one, so far anyhow, has been my favorite. It swallows a lot of gear for it's size. I easily carry my Nikon D300 with a wide angle zoom lens attached, an 18-200mm zoom along side it in the adjacent compartment as well as a fixed 50mm lens. The top section easily holds my two speedlights (one is the large SB900) as well as other gear. Unfortunately, after my first week excursion with it the carry handle between the shoulder straps tore loose causing me to obtain a replacement pack that will shortly be put to the test on two overseas trips in the bush.I've owned GoLite backpacks, and to me this product appears to have had strong influence from that company. It's comfortable, light, and secure. First impressions? Appears to be a winner for the money for certain.

Although I would have liked the size of the pack to be a little larger, it was well within what I expected so I give it a full rating for the sizing. The rest of the pack was also what I expected from Lowepro (very well made and functional, especially the rain cover that is found at the bottom of the pack!). However, I have a big issue with what I feel is a major design flaw: the upper compartment is not sealed from the lower section of the bag so just about anything you put in this compartment will eventually find its way down the side of the bag and to the bottom, below the camera compartment. I had placed a rain jacket/shell in the upper compartment and this quickly went to the bottom of the pack; a pack of gum, extra battery or anything of this size will undoubtedly make its way down. I was hoping to put an extra lens in the upper compartment but this too made its way down and given its weight, ended up at the very bottom where there is absolutely no protection or cushioning. So basically, this upper compartment is almost useless unless you seal it off from the lower section of the pack by using an insert or sewing it shut yourself. The rest of the pack is fine so I will not return the item as I am sure I'll be able to find or make an insert...Saturday, April 19, 2014
Discount CowboyStudio Waterproof Triangle Small Camera Bag Case for Canon
Bag seems well made but beware the measurements. My t3i with 55-300mm lens did not fit in the small bad despite the measurements given. I can only think that they are giving the external dimensions instead of the internal because it should have fit.

Item was shipped and received on time. No problem on that part but product was smelling heavy smoke and chemical. They packed it and stored in where smokers around probably. Another problem i experienced is that the zipper keep stucking in the middle and it looks like it will brake soon. I will use it couple more days to see if i like it and possibly return it. Does not worth the irritation i get when i use it.Best Deals for CowboyStudio Waterproof Triangle Small Camera Bag Case for Canon

This is an excellent case for the Kodak Easyshare Z990. It seems sturdy, well-padded and weather-resistant as advertised. It is very light weight and pretty compact considering the size of the camera. It has a central divider attached with velcro strips that can be moved/removed for a better fit or positioning of the camera. It also has some small additional storage pockets. I find that I am able to carry my charger and spare batteries in the case, which is convenient. It has a nice shoulder strap but I do not see a way to attach it to a belt. However, given the size of the case, wearing it on a belt doesn't seem to practical to me anyway. When I bought my case it was listed as a "Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 Digital Camera Case. I pointed out to the seller, East Coast Trading that the case and the packaging in which it arrived do not mention Kodak or any specific camera and that the invoice describes it as "Water Resistant Camcorder & Digital Camera Case." The seller was very responsive and said they would request that the listing be changed. I am very satisfied and recommend this case and seller.Best Deals for Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 Digital Camera Case Synergy Digital Water

My Kodak z990 fits well into the bag. There are several pockets for the camera accessories. I have not tested if it is waterproof. However, comparing it with "Case Logic DCB-304 High/Fixed Zoom Camera Case (Black)" , which a friend of mine has, this product is worse. This bag is more expensive and worse padded.Friday, April 11, 2014
