I purchased this case for my Slice camera. The camera actually came in a flimsy pouch which would not have protected it. This is a beautiful black case with white pipping. It is solid construction and very sturdy. I carry it in my pocket book constantly and feel confident that it is safe. I hate scratches and dings on my expensive (relative) electronics and always purchase a case to protect them. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

This is a retro look real leather camera bag. In my research on the bag I believe it is actually made in Columbia. It's a well made bag and the leather feels soft and buttery. At the time I purchased the bag it was offered in black and a saddle brown color, which is the color I purchased. I was looking for a retro camera bag that would work with my Fuji X-100 digital rangefinder camera. This bag is perfect for the X-100. It allows me to carry the camera with the lens shade on AND the small flash unit in the main compartment. The front accessory bag is perfect for the owners manual, extra batteries, and memory card. It a small, but well made camera bag. It is a great value for the price. I looked for this type of camera bag at several camera and leather stores before choosing and ordering this bag on-line. If the size will work for you, it's a high quality bag you will be proud to own.

I don't use this for my cameras as they are professional cameras and are quite large, especially with the lenses attached. I use this as a man bag for my wallet, car keys and a cigar lighter. Works great. You can only use it for smaller SLR camera or the little pont and shoot ones that are so common.

I use this as a combination purpose bag: Cameras for light shooting work, extra camera gear bag, emergency gear bag for winter/blizzard travel, day pack for hiking up to 8 hours. It's easy to shoulder, unshoulder, organize, load and access gear.

It is not as easy to access as the outstanding LowePro Slingshot 300 (which I also use). NOTHING touches the Slingshot for rapid ease of access (you don't have to unshoulder it -just slide it down from your back to your waist) or for safety during access (divisions open face up when dropped to the waist), but then this doesn't COST as much as the superior LowePro products and has proven just about as durable.

I suspect that this is very close to the size of the Slingshot 200, but you save about 25% (today, about twenty bucks). If size is right and cash no object or if speed of access is absolutely essential, buy the LowePro Slingshot 200. If cost matter more, consider this Doluca.

I bought the large version. It is big and can hold lot of stuff. Only complaint i have is that if you don't fill up camera gear, it rattles. It would be good if there are more number of compartment padding so that you can customize it into small compartments.

Best Deals for Dolica DK-30 Large Travel Notebook Backpack/Sling

Pro's: Sturdy/durable, good carrying options,

Con's: Slots are too large, not enough slots/ pockets/ elastic rings for peripherals. Velcro dividers don't seem like they'll stay in place. The storage and spaces don't seem to make that much sense.

I have a Canon 7D with a 24-70mm, 50mm, and a 135mm fixed, all quality canon glass, some extra filters, a spare battery (no battery grip), a spare CF Card,lens cleaners, tripod, The space for the camera with 24-70mm attached is great with room to spare (almost too much room to spare). When I go to organize all my lens, I find that there's almost too much room for my lenses as well, so I feel like they're bumping around in there. i tried, re-positioning the dividers, but there's really only one divider that I can re-position that makes sense. That's complaint 1. My second complaint is that there aren't enough side pockets for all my peripherals to be secured, so I ended up just piling them in the top main compartment, which is almost like a small glove box. Although a very disorganized way to do this, I wouldn't mind it, but there's the compartment is not sealed off from the rest of the bag, so if my lens cleaner (it's shaped like a marker) sometimes falls through the crack and is floating around in my bag. Also, my extra filters don't have a secure and separate place to slide in, so they're jammed together in a compartment. There's plenty of space for the memory cards, but to tell you truthfully, I don't care if my extra memory cards are bumping around a pool of other items, they'll be just fine. But glass that's gonna be between myself and my subject, should have their own compartments. Overall a decent bag, but if I had to do it again, I'd go with something different.

Honest reviews on Dolica DK-30 Large Travel Notebook Backpack/Sling

A very nice looking bag with great storage but at this point, I'm highly frustrated and very disappointed in the initial quality of this bag and that's even before first use. I already have a functional camera bag but was excited to get this larger backpack to tote my camera and additional gear in. I opened the bag today and alas the zipper along the top is jammed or broken. I've been working on it to see if I can get it to work but to no avail. Can't say that I'm looking forward to contacting Dolica's customer service as they 1. Don't provide an 800 number and 2. It looks as though I'll have to pay to send the bag in for repair and then they decide if it qualifies for the warranty. New bag that's already broken = UPSET. I don't feel like having to take the time OR expense to fix this unexpected and unwanted problem when it should have been first rate quality to begin with.

Bought the Dolica DK-30 bag, after having been pleased with their CF tripod, my specific purpose was to store and carry my gear and laptop on long trips, I should say the bag did not meet the purpos. My main issues are

1) The seam that attaches the shoulder straps to the bag has given away

2) The seam that run around the laptop case is giving away.

3) Not happy with the placement of the tripod holder. with the Tripod mounted, the entire weight of the tripod rests on the Zippers of the front flap, which would eventually weaken the zippers.

I was carrying a D7000 with 4 lenses, a Flash and a laptop with a few accessories, always used it n the two shoulder strap configuration

Ape Case Pro Medium Camera Messenger Review

Ape Case Pro Medium Digital SLR and Video Camera Case

Sale Price: $54.99

My criteria for bags is non-negotiable, and finding a bag that fits this criteria took a long time. First, it has to be top loading. Second, it needs to have at least one side pocket, and one front pocket. Third, a bright interior is a huge plus. Fourth, it needs to be reasonably weather-proofed. Finally, it needs to be well-padded.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found this bag online after hours of searching. I had spent several more hours at camera shops around the city, and the prices they were asking, for bags that did not meet all of my criteria, was not justifiable for me. So, I thought taking a chance on the Ape Case was a measured risk. I'm probably not the only one who has had that experience. Frankly, I looked at the price of this case and wondered why they were charging so little when all other bags were double the price. But, I ordered anyway.

I ordered the medium instead of the large, as the internal dimensions are identical in length and width. The medium bag is about one inch shorter in height. Ultimately, internal dimensions are the most important to me, and I didn't think that missing one inch of height would be a big deal. So, I went with the medium. (Sidenote: If the internal dimensions of the large are really almost exactly the same, as all the websites I found suggested, the large bag can certainly not be considered large.)

Now for the bag itself. The side pocket is a little "tight." It has spots for extra memory cards, and several elastic loops for pens, etc. But, this side pocket can't really be stuffed full. Over time the material may relax to give more flexibility. The front pocket is the same, so don't buy this bag expecting to be able to jam those pockets full of goodies.

One of my favorite features is the zip pocket on the front flap, just above where the Ape Case logo is sewn on. That is ideal when traveling for putting flight tickets and passports in. On that note, the first week I got this bag I got caught in monsoon-type weather. Despite having an umbrella, my bag got soaked as I walked. Inside my bag was my camera, lens, battery, and my passport. Once I was inside the train station I opened up my case to assess the damage. But, there wasn't any. Not a single drop had gotten through, and the bag had been exposed to more than a reasonable amount of rain.

The following week I was on the street, and dropped my fully loaded bag onto the concrete. Again, I sat down and opened up the case to assess the damage. Again, there wasn't any. Everything was exactly where I had put it when I packed for that day.

The interior is obviously bright yellow, and it makes opening the bag a joy in itself.

The only thing I changed on the bag was with the clasps that hang off each side of the bag. In total, there are three. One clasp closes the front flap. Then, there are two more, one on the left and one on the right, used to keep the bag more tightly shut, I guess. I cut off the two on the sides of the bag off. I'll never use them, they're clunky, and they make it needlessly difficult to get into the bag. Also, the clasps are made of very light weight plastic. I'm not sure how long the remaining clasp will last. But, I assume it serves a dual purpose: it cuts weight and cost.

Overall, this bag meets and exceeds my criteria for a camera case. Don't let the price deter you. It might be half the price of a lot of other camera bags, but it is not half the camera bag. In the few short weeks I've had it, it's been put through more than it's fair share of abuse, and has performed better than I would have ever expected. Ultimately, this bag gives me what I most expect from a bag: security. I can put my camera and travel documents inside, and know that they are safe and sound.

Just got done configuring this case, I'm already in love. Plenty of space, I have all my cords, guides, storage, power, filters, 3 lenses (2 long), camera, covers, cleaning, and a monopod on here and still have room for a flash and battery grip (my next upgrades). Tough shell, nice padding, indiscriminate look. Especially appreciate the metal hooks for the shoulder strap. Glad I didn't get the small version, but I won't need anything bigger for a long time. Highly recommended.

We got a new digital SLR and shopped quite a bit for this bag. I can fit:

This camera with a medium lens

a telephoto lens

the digital handicam (it is a smaller one)

the coolpix little digital 35mm in its case

the old film SLR with a medium lens

securely in this bag with all the dividers. Plus extra filters, and assorted junk in all the outer pockets.

...and carry it comfortably.

As others have noted the yellow interior really is a help.

The only thing I would change is that the 3 latches for the top are a little loose, so if you don't zip the bag when you are wanting easy access, when you lift it by the top handle, it always feels insecure. It really isn't (3 latches work fine with a good overlap top to side for protection), but I wish it didn't scare me everytime I lift it.

Honest reviews on Ape Case Pro Medium Camera Messenger

When I first saw the name "Ape Case" on this camera bag, I didn't think much of it, except, "what a goofy name". So, just out of curiosity, I clicked on the product link, on Adorama, actually, and just had to take a look.

I really liked the bright yellow interior, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. And the price was right in the neighborhood to fit my budget.

I finally narrowed my choices down to the Ape Case, but didn't know which one, the Medium, or the Large bag. I decided to go with the Medium, as it was a bit cheaper, and figured if I didn't think it was big enough, I'd send it back and go with the Large. Well, it turns out that my Canon T2i wearing a battery grip with 18-55mm kit lens, 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS zoom, Speedlite 430, battery charger and cord, camera and lens owners manuals, Lens Pen, video and USB cables, lens caps, set of filters, timer remote, and probably a few other things all live in the Medium size bag, still with room to spare... I think I could still get at least 2 more lenses in there comfortably... room to grow! The only difference between the Medium and the Large, is that the Large is about an inch or so deeper, the length and width measurements are the same. If you have a full frame Pro body like an EOS 1D or similar, or some longer zooms, you might want the Large bag, for the extra depth.

One thing I am having a bit of a dilemma with, though, is creating the optimum arrangement in the main compartment. As the bag comes, everything fits perfectly in the compartments as they are arranged, as long as I have the 18-55mm lens on the body... but the 55-250mm zoom will not fit when installed on the body. So, I removed one of the dividers (they are held in place by velcro) and rearranged the remaining dividers to make room for the body and tele zoom installed. But now, that left me with 2 less "compartments", but actually more "room". All the dividers are removeable, so you can customize this bag to your needs. You just have to decide exactly what your needs are, and how to arrange your bag.

The divider that is made for the body and installed lens actually elevates the body/lens up off the bottom of the bag, making a "secret compartment" under it where you can store seldom used parts like the body cap or ???.

The bag has excellent construction, and good thick (feels like a closed cell foam) padding. Unless the bag gets run over by a truck, or sat on by an elephant, everything inside will be well protected. I've not had it in the rain yet, but I think it would take quite a downpour for any water to make it's way inside. The bag top is held shut by a double zipper, and then secured with a plastic snap clasp on both sides and in the center also. If you hide both zipper handles under the front flap, then secure all the snap clasps, it would be quite difficult for anyone in a crowd to get their hand inside the bag without you knowing about it... it's good and secure. But, that same security also means that it does take a bit of doing to get inside yourself, also. If you need quick access, you could leave the zippers open, and just secure the front clasp, but sacrifice some of the security.

The shoulder strap has a rubberized pad on it, and it stays on my shoulder fairly well. It gets the job done.

There are zippered pockets on the top cover and flap, inside and out, on the right side of the bag outside, and the front of the bag outside. The left side of the bag outside has a mesh pocket secured with a drawstring and keeper ball. I haven't figured out yet what to keep in there, I wish it was another zippered pocket instead, to be honest. I guess it would be good to carry an 8-pack of AA batteries for the Speedlite.

In all, I'm pretty satisfied with the Ape Case Medium bag. Excellent protection for everything inside, the bright yellow interior makes it easy to see dark colored items like lens caps and lens pens, and it has enough room inside of all my stuff and then some.

I like this bag, but I wish the external walls were stiffer. The interior is spacious enough for my Nikon D300 w/18-200 lens and with the MB-D10 battery attachment with room leftover for the detached flash unit and some other minor accessories. If the 18-200 lens were detached from the body, I could have squeezed another lens in the bag. That makes it a little too heavy for my taste. Besides, I like the 70-200 lens attached for that quick candid shot or the fleeting deer on the side of the road. The bright yellow interior of the case is a definite plus when looking for those small black camera things hiding on the bottom. The Velcro lined segments are very versatile if you want to customize the interior. Personally, I don't have the patience for it. It's a good bag. You shouldn't be disappointed with it. Joe

This case for the Nikon P7000 is OK but has 2 flaws. First, the snaps aren't very secure, allowing the cover to fall off. And second, if the cover does stay snapped, it folds in front of the lens, making it necessary to remove the cover. A proper case would allow the cover to securely dangle below the camera, stay connected, and not obscure the lens.

the case and design looks nice but the bottom snap after second use came apart , although side snap are alright, I wish they beef up the bottom snap which is frequently being open and close.

Best Deals for COSMOS ® Black Leather Case Cover Bag For Nikon P7000 Camera

Unlike the previous reviewers, I find this case is similar to the old style range finder and compact camera cases. The bottom half is form fitted and is attached to the tripod connection. The top half wraps around the camera from the back and swivels by two side snap buttons and locks with a snap button at the bottom. The case fits perfectly and is well padded.

All snap buttons are pretty firm and they stay in place unless you need to pull them open. The front is somewhat firm so it can be hard to snap close, but stays pretty secure when closed. When you flip open the top, the top flips back behind the finder and stays attached via the two side snaps. Very convenient so you can leave the top on and still see both the LCD and view finder to take pictures. If you need to, or find the top gets in the way, you can easily take it off by removing the two side buttons, and leaving the bottom half on to protect it.

All buttons and controls are accessible and you can attach a tripod to the bottom of the case without taking it off. I highly recommend this case if you have this camera.

The ONA bag is well finished and great for a small camera such as a micro four-thirds and a few lenses. The only thing I would have liked was a strap handle on the top of the bag. It's easy to pick it up by the shoulder strap, but I get nervous about picking up camera bags by the shoulder strap. I've been known not to fasten the top of the bag, if I forgot and picked the bag by the shoulder strap, everything spills out. A handle on the top of the bag gives you feedback real quick if you hadn't fastened the bag. Beyond that, it's very well built, hangs well, and looks great.

I read the reviews -which all seemed to say you could fit an SLR with lens attached and an additional lens in the main compartment -so I purchased this bag hoping I could fit more than one lens. This bag would work well for a crop sensor camera. I have a full frame (5D Mark II) and I can only fit the camera with 16-35mm wide angle attached. It's very tight with the strap attached to the camera, so I've been using my camera with no strap when I carry it in this bag. It's very cute and stylish though.

It is sturdy and feels comfortable carrying it across the body. It is a little small for my Nikon D700 the front bulges out and I had to adjust the strap to be able to close it. It would be perfect if it was just a little deeper. I'm still keeping it. I can fit the camera with lens attached and an extra lens.

As an introduction, I have a Pentax K10D with the kit lens, a Sigma 50-150 telephoto and a Sigma 10-20 wide angle. I wanted a bag that would fit close top my body and hold all three items.

This is my third attempt to purchase a bag. At first glance I though this bag would be to big. However, for these items it's just the right size.

The Good:

The material and construction are good. The front pocket is big enough to actuall hold some accesories. The much maligned clip actually works fine for me. It pops open with one hand and goes back together easily because there is a guide track that centers the insert. The size and shape are really nice for carry. It lays close to the body, is not too stiff but still has some protection.

The Bad:

The dividers are held in place with velcro. There are two strips that run horizontally across the long end of the inside of the bag. these strips catch on the sharp edges of the lenses as you remove them from the bag. If you store your hoods backwards on the lens, the hoods catch coming out every time. If you attach the hood to the lens in the forward position, it catches going into the bag. This is especially bad with the lens on the camera. It doesn't just drop into the bag. You have to fiddle with it everytime you put the camera back (which kind of defeats the purpose of this kind of bag.)

The flap is attractive and gives the bag a stealth look. But, it's pretty big and hard to move out of the way to get the camera out for a quick snap. If you fold it over against your body, then the equipment is visible and not protected from the top.

I've decided to keep the bag but I need to come up with a way to cover the edges of the velcro. Duct tape would probably work but the glue would make sticky mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I wanted a great camera bag for street photography to carry a Nikon D7000, plus an 18-200mm VR lens, a 50mm lens and some odds and ends. To be clear: I wasn't looking for a travel bag or a way to haul gear to a shoot. I wanted a messenger-style camera bag for street photography.

If you want a bag for walking and shooting, this is the bag. It's the best I could find, regardless of price. Yes, Crumpler and Timbuk2 make much better camera bags, but they look like camera bags, cost much more, and are less functional for my needs.

So, here's the good and the bad about this bag, the Tamrac Rally 6:

Pros: Size! Padding! Cost!

The size is frigging perfect. Absolutely perfect. If you need to carry around an iPad or netbook, you'll want the Rally 5. Otherwise, this is the bag to get.

The padding is excellent. It's padded on all sides, plus it has extra dividers and a padded shoulder-strap attachment.

It costs less than $60.

So here's the bad: The bag is to basic when it comes to storage. It has a pocket in the front, but that pocket is kind of lame. Also, the clip that holds the main flap closed is terrible. Really terrible. How Tamrac could have screwed up the design of a CLIP is beyond my comprehension. It's a frigging plastic clip kids. Get it right. This clip has an ignorant diagonal/pointy design that is EASY to screw up while closing. It's so bad that I'll probably look into replacing it (if possible).

That being said, I'm still giving this bag 5 stars. Why? It's only $60. It looks like a messenger bag. It's really well padded. It's easy to walk around town with, pulling your camera out when you need it and putting it away when you don't. The new Snoop bag by Timbuk2, for example has two clips. If you're walking around town taking photos, do you really want to be constantly dealing with two clips just to reach your camera? No. One clip makes for a proper walking around camera bag.

I originally bought the smaller Rally 4 bag. It was a little too small for my needs, so, I started looking at other bags again. I upped the price I was willing to pay all the way to $200 and I still couldn't find a better photo-walking camera bag than this. If you want a messenger-style bag for street photography, I don't think you can do better. Even with the god awful clip on this bag, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Best Deals for Tamrac 3446 Rally 6 Camera Bag (Black)

With my recent purchase of my first DSLR camera, I needed a case or bag but didn't really know what to look for. I initially started looking at bags from Canon, then Lowepro, CaseLogic, and finally Tamrac. I found out that no one bag is perfect for all people and uses. I will probably end up with at least two bags for two distinct functions. I chose the Tamrac Rally 6 to be my all-purpose, day bag.

PROS:

Decent amount of storage

Good protection

OK build quality

Discrete appearance

CONS:

Horrible clip

Tamrac logo a bit loud

Front-heavy imbalance

I chose the Tamrac Rally 6 for its discrete appearance and because it was a messenger-style bag. I liked that it fit what I wanted to carry with me on trips to the park with my kids and other brief events. Here is what I was able to fit into the bag:

Canon EOS Rebel T2i w/18-55mm lens attached

55-250mm telephoto lens

Battery charger and cable

Lenspen

Spudz microfiber cloth

User manual

I probably would have been able to fit a small flash and a 50mm prime lens as well but those are on my Wishlist and I don't own them yet. The Velcro dividers are easy to configure and the interior of the bag provides a good amount of impact protection. The sides also have flaps to cover the edges to keep light rain and dust at bay. Unfortunately, when I put in all my gear, I discovered that the Rally 6 became imbalanced and when I set the bag down, more often than not, it would tilt forward and lay down on the front of the bag.

The Tamrac Rally 6 is slightly larger than but very similar to the Tamrac Express 7 with a different flap and altered side pockets. The Rally 6 is a newer bag and it appears that the complaints about the clip on the Express 7 were not addressed for the Rally 6. The clip isn't always very easy to lock and even worse, it is extremely easy to unlock. Other than the clip, there's only a small patch of velcro that keeps that flap closed. Without a secure clip, I am afraid that my equipment will fall out or get swiped without me even knowing it.

If not for the clip issues, I would have considered the Rally 6 a decent bag, but I cannot recommend the bag with the existing clip design.

I ordered 2 bags for my Canon 5D Mark III on Amazon and they were either too bulky (Canon bag) or won't fit (a sling backpack). The Mark III is huge/heavy and the lens I have are huge/heavy, so I needed a bag that is big, yet small enough for my frame. I went to many stores in search of the perfect bag, and I found this one at Best Buy for a great price. It is the right size (like a regular messenger bag), it's lightweight and doesn't feel awkward or stiff across your body.

It has a pocket in the back (no zipper) where you can slide in manuals or an iPad. The 2 side pockets can hold your smartphone, mini water bottle, etc. There is a zippered pocket underneath the flap that has 2 divided (no zipper) deep pockets.

I docked down a star because the bottom doesn't seem like it has enough padding to plopped on the floor. With a regular bulky DSLR camera bag, it has so much padding that you can plopped it on a cement ground without thinking much. With this bag, you'll have to carefully put down your bag unless you add more padding. I'm going to put those bubble bags that Amazon usually ships with. It also doesn't have many zippered pockets.

The plastic lock is fine. Easy to un-clip. If you don't want to use the clip, there's a piece of velcro that sticks the top flap together.

I was hoping this was the "3 case" neoprene case and it was!!! I can't believe that amazon is not providing a picture and description (maybe they will in the future), because they would sell a lot more! I have a w10 and needed a case I could strap-on for kayaking. This is it and more. The case is quality made nylon over neoprane, with a velcro flap closure (just what I wanted, not zipper). It has a clip for attaching to belts or vests (like a gerber knife). It has a little groumet hole in the top flap that a little strap could go through My one wish is for a groumet hole on the bottom, for drainage while yaking. The case fits my w10 w/rubber skin perfectly! Snug, yet not too snug. No wasted space or pockets. The other two items of the "3 case" system are:

1) a stretchy nylon/neoprene waist belt with hip-snugging pockets for accessories. It is not a narrow belt, but suprisingly wide like a fanny pack (maybe 6-7") yet snug like a back support. This too could be used while swimming. Maybe put dead fish pieces in the pockets to feed the sharks?

2) an arm/ankle? band, same nylon over neopren, velcro's around the arm. It looks a little like a blood pressure strap. I would guess it is for snorkling/swimming too. Perfect for active stuff like fishing, boarding, triathalons, etc.

Both of the above belts integrate with the case. They have a slot into which the case's clip fits snuggly.

Pretty cool system, I recommend it! I wish there had been a review before I bought it because it was a gamble. But it was just what I wanted. Really high quality and fully functional.

The case in the picture is all black and looks like leather. The one I received is black and red and looks nothing like the picture. I looked carefully through all the different cases before choosing this case which cost more money than some of the others. I paid more money for this case and received the wrong case. I chose to keep it because it is functional and it is a hassle to send things back. I must say I am not happy about it but will use it anyway.

The photo that goes with this case is not at all like what will be sent. Case is red/black. Comes with armband and waist holder. Waist holder has two spots for back up batteries. Over all an OK case. Could be more secure.

The picture for this product is a classy looking camera case. The reality is an amorphous shaped ugly red and black cheap looking case that no one would want. Change the photo or drop the product! I sent it back fast!

I really like the hard case! It protects my camera nicely and even stores extra batteries. One thing that I would appreciate is a tiny bit more room in the depth of the case so that it closes more easily. It's a bit snug to zip! Thanks!

Reviews of Crumpler The Bucket- Medium

Crumpler THE BUCKET Camera Organizer
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
What you should know, before ordering this item, is that it is round all around. The bottom is not flat, but curves upwards. Because of this, the inserts don't really fit, and have to be bent out of shape. Even then, they are almost impossible to place.

Also, the bucket is very shallow. If you own any 70-200 zoom or other long lens, you can pretty much forget about fitting it in here.

And then there is the lid. Why oh why would you need the lid? It restricts what you can fit into the bucket, is in the way when you need to access your gear, and adds a lot of bulk to the messenger bag you place it in.

Personally, I couldn't wait to return this thing fast enough.

When I decided not to get a new camera bag, I already know that I couldn't find the perfect replacement. I'd got a Chrome Citizen Messenger, similar to the Crumpler bag in terms of size and shape. I wanted to make good use of my bag and I found a few solutions to it. In the end, I bought this Crumpler Bucket as it satisfied my needs. It's made with no corners, because it's supposed to fit into the inside of the messenger bag. Its dividers can be adjusted freely, but they are not made in perfect shape to compensate the roundness of the bucket. It's well-cushioned all round including all the dividers. When I don't need that many gadgets, I'll just take out the bucket and stored it at home, so I can still use my Chrome bag.

In my opinion, if you are looking for a perfect and professional camera bag, you wouldn't be looking at this. This is almost perfect for people like me, who doesn't need a dedicated camera bag, but sometime would like to have this kind of protection to my camera and stuff.

Got this for my Crumpler Textbook Point. Fits like a glove. Now my Crumpler messenger bag's a camera bag! Size wise it fits a DSLR D90 and 2 Lens with space for another SLR lens or flash.

Honest reviews on Crumpler The Bucket- Medium

I got this a couple of years ago with my first dSLR. My intention was to put in my Vera Bradley tote bag. It didn't fit so it sat on my shelf with camera equipment I wasn't using. Then I finally got a Crumpler Barney messenger bag to use this with.

Most of my equipment fits, an Olympus E-30 with 3 lenses. But my Olympus FL-50r flash is too tall to fit in and not eat up too much space. The zippered top is annoying. It would be better if it could zip off completely or be a thinner material which could fold back easily.

I purchased this for my camera, but I actually use it for my dictaphone and flip video which often got turned on accidentally in my backpack. It works well for that, but I will have to buy a new case for my new camera. The clip is nice as I hike a bit and I don't have to worry about it falling out.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The package is very well packed and received on time. Bag is very nice and good, compact and light for carrying out for random shots. Enough room to put my Canon T4i and 1-2 lens. Lots of space to accommodate extra batteries, card and cleaning kit. The only thing I dont like is the screen protectors. They are in very low quality and does not match my camera. The film is not transparent so I have to peel it off and buy another one.

4" Depth

The outer dimensions are:

7" Width

7" Height

5" Depth

This case would not fit Nikon D5000 with the lens it is sold with (Nikkor 18-55mm). Other than that the case is exactly what I was looking for. Compact, padded, and comfortable. I wish I could use it for my camera.

The bag looks nice but it is too small to fit a Canon T3i with standard 18-55 lens and a camera strap. Since Canon T3i is an average size camera, the bag should not be advertised as "specifically designed to house your Digital SLR Camera". It's misleading.

Best Deals for Ape Case Compact Digital SLR Holster Camera Bag (ACPRO600)

This case works great for Nikon D3100 with Nikkor 18-55 lens. Bag looks durable and it's well done. This is why I like it:

-well padded,

it has front and interior pockets for accessories such as additional memory card; outside front pocket will fit battery,

there is attached but hidden rain protection cover,

bright interior,

detachable shoulder strap allows to wear the camera on the arm or messenger style; it is also padded with little plastic/rubber dots that help to keep pad in place,

there is also attachment for belt on the back of the case.

Overall good quality and perfect for me as I wanted small case. The only minus is that it could be an inch higher to fit camera strap, but thanks to double ended zipper the strap can hang outside.

UPDATE: I attached the pictures; the strap also fits inside when folded.

Honest reviews on Ape Case Compact Digital SLR Holster Camera Bag (ACPRO600)

Ordered this to carry my Canon T1i when I go out and don't want to carry a big bag of equipment with me. Fits perfectly with a 50mm lens attached. Pockets big enough for memory cards and extra battery but don't expect to fit much else in it. Strap is comfortable and bag provides adequate protection for a low profile design. Perfect for when I go out to eat and take my camera or just for a walk around the park.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Ape Case Compact Digital SLR Holster Camera Bag (ACPRO600)

I bought this camera case because I rarely travel without another bag, and I didn't want to carry a camera bag *as well*. I have this camera: Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

This fits snugly around my camera with the kit lens and polarizing filter attached (my other lens is smaller). I leave the strap hanging out and zip around (this lets me carry the camera by the strap with the case on it). I have the case clipped to the camera strap. If I'm just taking a quick shot or two I'll just leave the case attached to the strap, or I'll un-clip the case and put it in my bag.

It is *very* protective, and holds a surprisingly large amount without adding any bulk. I always have it carrying: an extra battery, compact charger, and an extra SD card. I then just stuff this in my back pack, side bag, suit case, or whatever bag I happen to be using. I don't have to worry about anything dinging or scratching my camera. I want to take my camera with me and I don't want it to be an ordeal.

Pros:

Small, snug against camera

Very very padded and protects all parts of the camera

Works well with strap

Fits in other bags

Durable, expensive material

Cons:

Probably won't work with a lens larger than the kit lens
