I must say I like this bag a lot. This is the second one I bought I have one and my dad has one now too.

It is functional and not to big.

I posted my first review a week ago, and I must say that I bought this bag for $25.99 and now writing my second review the seller bummed the price to $35.99.

The quality is good of the bag so I would probably still pay the $35.99 for it. :-)

I love this camera bag! The bag that I received as a gift was way too bulky for my liking, so I searched for a smaller one on Amazon and was very happy when I saw this. I made the purchase, but I was wary of the negative reviews. When I opened the package I was VERY pleased! It fit a good amount of accessories (including my camera) in it and I tried it on and it was quite comfortable. I highly recommend this camera carrying bag!

I ordered the WP700, yet I received the WP711. This review sits separate from the 3-star review I gave the company who sold/shipped this to me via Amazon. See the WP700 product page for which company that is.

That said...

NOTES AND TRICKS

I was concerned I'd run into issues fitting my Sony TX-7 into this case, however after a weekend of underwater shooting I can't say I've had any problems. I highly recommend watching the youtube videos for this product to make sure you're properly sealing the pack after inserting your camera. On a full touchscreen camera like the TX-7, getting the air out of the pack as much as possible before sealing it up ensures a) the camera won't move around much, and b) there's no air or air bubbles to interfere with the controls on the back. Also, and I'm no scientist, but it seems logical that the less air that's inside the pack, the less room there'd be for condensation buildup. Dicapac includes a minuscule silica packet to counteract any humidity, though I have a hard time seeing how effective a small packet like this would be for a very prolonged period of time.

ACCESS & CONTROL

This section definitely depends on your individual camera, but here's my experience.

Once you've properly sealed the pack, and you've double checked that the rectangular "window" around the lens and flash isn't blocking either one of those components, you're good to go. Using a fingertip, I was able to change my settings at will through the plastic of the Dicapac. The TX-7's mock rotary zoom wheel on the upper-right corner of the camera was slightly difficult to reach through the plastic, however once I realized what sort of pressure worked in what place (working somewhat blind given the right edge of the Dicapac obscured the very right edge of the camera's hardware) the zoom controls became moderately comfortable.

QUALITY

Again, this will depend largely on your camera, but I was quite happy with the results through the Dicapac. There was a very minor sheen when I used the "incandescent light" scene mode on the TX-7 which didn't exist with the camera outside of the Dicapac, but much of your success or failure in high detail shots will depend on the space between the plastic and the lens. If you press directly down on the shutter, the plastic may bulge out a bit in the front, adding unwanted distortion to the shot. Damping down the plastic, going from the front of the camera over the top toward the back, will keep the plastic from bulging out. Shooting underwater with a $30 waterproof pack will certainly create a small amount of degradation but nothing which would lead to an undesirable photo. Video seems sharp as well, and (I say this as a novice) it seems that you'd notice the difference in quality less during video given how artifacts are more likely to show up in a frame rather than in fluid motion.

THE AFTERMATH

I left the camera in the pack for a few days. At the end of those few days, moments after last using it, I took it out to watch the results on my tv. I was quite surprised at how much water was absorbed by the velcro. Hours later, there was still a small bit of residual moisture. A smart move might be to grab a hair dryer, set it on low, and from a distance dry out the velcro. The plastic seems heavy enough to be unaffected by a hair dryer set on low, but you can't be too careful with something tasked with protecting an expensive camera. The realization from this was that the ziploc-style seal is, in the end, the only thing keeping the camera from becoming an expensive paperweight. It's rolled up many times over, and it's something I feel I can trust, but if you like your camera MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAL IS TIGHT.

I'd feel comfortable buying this again, especially since if I'm ever in a weird bind it would also work perfectly well as a cellphone case or a carryall for my keys/credit card/ID as I'm out at the beach & in the water. Just make sure you're getting what you ordered.

I recently bought a WP711 for a trip to Hawaii to use with my Fuji FinePix Z30. This is my backup camera and did not cost much, so I did not mind risking it. I tested the WP711 as soon as I received it, and it worked fine in the sink. I then used it on 6 salt water snorkeling trips (ranging from 30 90 min) over a 2 week span with no leaks. This was mostly at the surface, but also included a few quick trips to 6-8 feet underwater. Based on the other reviews, I was cautious: I made sure everything was well sealed and downloaded all pictures after every use. I don't think I'll use it again for a few months, and I'll definitely redo the sink test before putting my camera in again.

Fitting the FinePix Z30

My Z30 is not a perfect fix in the WP711. There is definitely extra room in the case; however, I found that to be useful. The Z30 on/off mechanism is sliding the front cover to the left/right, which is not easy to do through the case (the case material tends to suction to the camera, which is good for keeping the lens lined up, but bad for sliding pieces around). Having the added space to shift the camera around allowed me to get the camera on/off when needed. That was a chore, so on later trips I made sure to start with a full battery, turn the camera on before going in the water, and leave it on for the whole trip.

Image quality

This obviously depends a lot on the camera (and mine is not great), but I did not find the WP711 to noticeably reduce the image quality. It did affect the flash, so I learned not to use that. Here's one of my clearest shots, taken in about 5 feet of water with lots of light:

I found that I got clearer shots when diving a few feet below the surface and shooting more horizontally. This probably has more to do with my camera and lighting than the WP711, but I don't know for sure.

Conclusion

I would recommend the WP711 to anyone who wants underwater pictures has a camera they're willing to risk. It's given me a lot more and better pictures than the underwater disposable cameras I've used in the past.

I bought this for an older sony cybershot..hoping it would work..but figured if it didn't no worries..it's an older camera anyways!! It worked like a charm!! We took it snorkeling with us in Honduras and Belize and had no problems with leaking..the camera stayed dry and we got great coral, sting ray, fish, etc underwater pix!! Definitely recommend this product..just be careful not to leave too much air in the bag or the camera will "float" around in it and you take the chance of the lens moving right in front of the line..which will mess up your pix. :)

I bought this to use while snorkeling. After the second day, there seemed to be moisture in the bag, and the plastic no longer looked clear. I must say that it did keep the camera dry and I took a lot of underwater pictures and videos and they came out ok, but I will look around for something else for my next trip. I didn't love it.

I bought this for my Olympus 720 SW. "But it's a waterproof camera!", you ask. Reading reviews online for the CAMERA, it seemed about 10-20% of the time, water would leak into the camera and ruin it, so I bought this Dicapac pouch as an added layer of protection.

Unfortunately, I had a few problems with this pouch.

1) When doing outdoorsy things that might require a pouch like this, the user is also likely to be wearing sunscreen and insect repellent. As such, it was easy to smudge the outer plastic just by inadvertently touching (i.e., if the pouch hits my arm or leg) so that it made photos very cloudy. It was difficult to "wash off" while in the water, so generally photos were cloudier than they should have been. Even when the pouch was perfectly clean I found that taking photos through the plastic distorts photos somewhat.

2) The pouch itself isn't quite the right fit for the Olympus 720 SW, even though the WP-711 is the recommended size by the Dicapac manufacturer for this camera. As a result, I struggled with the camera moving around inside the pouch, and often the rectangle on the front that is intended to take photos within would migrate so that the edge of the rectangle was right in the middle of the photo lens. This also ruins a fraction of photos.

3) It's a little unwieldy to take photos through the pouch.

4) Yes, my camera stayed absolutely dry within this pouch.

5) My Olympus 720 SW was indeed successful when NOT using this pouch at remaining waterproof. My best photos from snorkelling are WITHOUT the pouch much sharper and clearer.

Having the pouch and having cloudy/blurry photos with a camera that didn't get wet is still somewhat better than the blurry photos that I generally take with disposable water proof cameras, but removing the pouch and successfully being able to use the waterproof feature of my camera made the pouch seem useless. Other users who don't have naturally waterproof cameras whose cameras may fit this pouch a bit better may still find value from using the pouch.

I just with the rectangle on the front of the pouch weren't there that seems to only be a potential barrier for anyone using this size.

Overall no issues with Ocean Reef Electronics. The item was shipped promptly and in new condition.

Got this case for my HERO3 recently, and it fits the bill perfectly. I use my HERO3 for skiing and on my motorcycle at the track, and was usually tossing the camera, remote and mounts into the bottom of a big gear bag. Was looking for a case that held everything safely, and found this stylish solution.

The camera and accessories fit snuggly into their molded spaces. The included pouch holds my cables and spare mounts.

The outside of the case feels almost rubbery and high-end while the exterior zipper provides a water-tight seal. I no longer have to worry about my $500+ gear/accessories getting lost or damaged.

THANKS GO CASE!

I have a GoPro Hero3 and have been looking for a good case. I received the GOCase today. It's construction is excellent, the case is very hard yet light, so the Hero3 will be very well protected, without the whole kit being unwieldy. Customer service was very responsive (email response the same day). Since the GOCase is not yet available from Amazon in Canada, I ordered through eBay. Very satisfied, highly recommend the case.

I love the way this case looks: it reminds me of classic cameras from the 40's

I love the way it feels: heavy leather and fasteners

I even love the way it smells...

But it doesn't work-you have to remove the whole cover to use the camera. The screen is on the back of the camera, and that is blocked by the top part of the open case... and it is hard to put back because the screw doesn't line up easily.

Loved the look of this camera case. Looks nicer than some other PU leather cases I've seen.

Too bad I am using the JJC auto lens cap attachment on my LX7. The lens cap is wider than the original housing for the lens on the camera body, and this camera case was designed with the original housing for the lens on the camera body in mind, so the diameter is insufficient.

The actual casing material is bi-cast leather (google it) which looks and feels like leather because it's part leather. The neck strap is more like vinyl. The tripod mount hardware looks and feels cheaply painted with stainless steel coating. But don't get me wrong for $29 it's not a bad deal. If you want top notch quality case, there's Gariz. But cost is prohibitive, at least for me. Functionally the camera case is sufficiently protecting my LX7 when I put it in my messenger bag or sling over my shoulder when walking about. Aesthetically, I think it's retro super cool. I've had other people curiously asked me what's in the case. I'm keeping it.

Honest reviews on MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case

This case looks very nice..."retro" and fits the camera very well. Unfortunately, it WILL NOT FIT the LX7 fitted with aftermarket Auto Lens Cap for PANASONIC LUMIX DMC LX7 LX-7, LEICA D-LUX 6 + MagicFiber Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth Auto lens cap. I received both items for Christmas, fit the camera in it's new case then put on the cap. Whoops...the case wouldn't fit anymore after the cap installation. : ( I feel the cap is a better option than the case, since we know how ridiculous and irritating the LX7's stock lens cap can be. I'll kept the case since it was a good price and I'd lose nearly half my money trying to return it. The bottom piece of the case stays on with a screw into the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. The top of the case stays on with two side snaps that attach to the bottom and a snap under the lens area that closes it altogether. One downfall of this design is that you have to unscrew and remove the bottom piece of the case to access your battery and SD card. $20 well spent.

I just wanted a decent case for my LX7, and I was eying up this style. The Panasonic branded case was a little pricey, but these were in my range. I'm very picky about my cases (I hate PU "leather" products as a rule). I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It's a weird leather composite, but has the look & feel (and even a little smell) of real leather. It's pliable and fits the camera pretty well. The dark brown color is handsome, the stitching nicely done and the snaps are very secure. I didn't think I'd be this happy with it--I had planned on upgrading to a nicer case later. Now I don't think I will. The material used isn't any worse than the cheap leather they used in the '50s-'70s for this style camera case.

I only have two very minor gripes. The neck strap feels a bit cheap, though it's no more cheaply made than the one that comes with the LX7, and at least it matches the case. Also, the knurled screw that attaches to the tripod mount and keeps the case on is unimpressive (cheap metal, bad chrome finish) and not that easy to turn, though it is loosening up a bit. It does the job, and if anything else, it should be easily replaceable.

I was a little worried that the bottom half of the case (the part that screws into the camera) didn't quite fit the contours of the camera, but when I took it off again, I found I was actually able to form the sides and tighten the gaps around the camera body. The case took my sculpting nicely, and when I slipped it back on the camera, no more gaps! I also wasn't sure how it would look on my white LX7, but it looks fine.

Lastly, for the record, I am using a slim filter adapter with a UV filter and the replacement lens cap (which is thicker than the Panasonic lens cap). This all adds 10mm to the length of the lens. The case is a tight fit, but I was also able to use a smooth, round pen cap to press out the center of the case where the lens cover hit. It did free up a little extra space, since the case is pretty forgiving.

Definitely worth the price. I'm extremely happy with this case, and I'm sure once I break it in on my next vacation, it'll be even better.

After trying a few box like bags, I looked for a messenger style bag that would be at once more discreet and efficient. The box like bags are more difficult to set up and waste space, unless you have tons of gear, in my opinion.

What I have in this bag:

D40 camera with attached tripod QR plate.

Kit lens 18-55

Lens 55-200

Lens 30mm prime

Small SB400 flash

Filters.

It all fits in perfectly. The D40 + 55-200 with the hood attached also fits in perfectly because of the depth.

Build quality is good and is comfortble to lug around.

Caveat: Other than the flap, there is no other, inner, cover. I.e. you open the flap and expose the camera. I was a bit scared at first, but the design works very well. There is a short tab on each side that helps contain your gear and makes sure nothing can fall out. This also explains why the carry handle is sewn to the back of the bag and not in the center/top.

Bottom line, everything is secure, but easily and quickly accessed, explaining why the name of this bag is "Express"...

2.580 speedlite flash

4.50mm/1.8

5 sigma 10-20mm with hood

6.canon 28-135mm/4.5~5.6 with hood

that is 1 body +4 lens + 1 flash !

I needed a bag that does not really look like a Camera Bag, is small enough to carry around and holds my most important gear.

The Tamrac Express 7 came closest to what I wanted.

After the box arrived I was a little puzzled as to how small the box was but hey, it's a soft bag.

The bag itself seemed a little small for my needs and I was not sure how I can make the stuff I needed to carry around fit. But to my surprise it fit OK. Snug but it worked.

Here is what I have in there (usually)

Left side: Canon 580EX Flash with diffuser attached

Middle Bottom: Canon 50mm 1.8 prime lens

Middle Top: Canon EOS 40D with Sigma 17-70 with hood

Right side: Canon 70-200L with hood

Various Memory Cards and stuff in the front zipper.

The overall quality of the bag feels very nice and it carries very well.

The reason I gave it only 4 stars is that I wish it was just a tad larger for todays SLR Cameras.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 3537 Express 7 Camera Bag -Black

I am a professional photographer and I debated endlessly about this bag. I wanted something that would carry my 5D, 24-70L and 70-200L with hoods.

Unfortunately this bag is way too small.

Further with the included lens hood, it is virtually impossible to pull a lens out of the bag.

Why did I give it 5 stars? While it didnt meet my needs I think it is perfectly suited for someone that owns a small dSLR such as the Canon Rebel XT/XTi series. The construction is top notch and it looks great. Just not big enough for a pro.

The bag itself is well made and padded and has enough space for me to carry my two DSLRs with telephoto lenses (30D with Sigma 70-300 DG APO and 450D with 70-200 f/4L), and an assortment of extra batteries and memory cards. However, when the DSLR/lens combo is stored with the lens pointing down and the lens hood on backwards, it's awkward and difficult to pull the camera out with one hand because the lip of reversely attached lens hood always gets caught on the velcro strip that runs about 2" below the bag top, parallel to the bag top.

The shoulder strap also isn't particularly comfortable, and the thread holding the rubberised area over the extra padding for the shoulder is already becoming to come undone (only had the bag for two months, and used it for maybe 3 outings). I'm going to go to a travel goods store and see if I can get a replacement strap.

It was $6.94 TOTAL with shiping for this little camera case. I purchased it for backpacking with a ruggedized waterproof point and shoot camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2).

General Info:

1) The case weighs 2.2 ounces with the shoulder strap.

2) The case is actually silver and black. In the photo at the top of page it almost looks white.

Pros:

1) It fits the camera w/ silicone sleeve and wrist strap, an extra memory card, and an extra battery easily.

2) The construction is solid. The stitching is secure. The belt loop is secure and strong enough for any weight camera that is small enough to fit inside. The strap and D-rings are also made well enough for securing any camera that will fit in the case.

3) There is ample padding in the front of the accessory compartment.

Cons:

1) There is no padding in the back wall of the camera compartment or between the camera compartment and the accessory compartment.

(NOTE) This can cheaply be remedied with craft foam from Walmart.

2) The case has no material covering over the zippers, rendering the case NON-WATERPROOF.

(NOTE) This wasn't a problem for me because my camera is waterproof.

Shipping:

I submitted the order at around 12 P.M. on a Monday from North Eastern Ohio and the item arrived that Thursday in the mail by standard shipping.

Very Nice Bag, and roomy. Not *quite* enough vertical room to hold my 70-200 f2.8 lens mounted on a big DSLR body nose-down comfortably (it does fit, but the closing flap then sits too high. It does fit *fine* on its own.) otherwise it is great. Plenty big enough to hold 1-2 SLR bodies and 3-4 lenses including like I said a larger 200mm f2.8, plus flash and other misc small items and filters. Nicely sized velcro compartment seperators so you can make a custom fit, and the interior fabric is soft. Exterior fabric looks tough but isnt overly stiff. Seams are tight, this is well made. The orange interior is a surprisingly welcome contrast to all the black lenses lens caps etc so you can actually see everything rather than squinting at black items against a black interior.

The front and side pockets are sewn tight would be nice if the front pocket had zippered sides as it is only top access. The front flap is also cut a little bit shy so if you stuff this bag to bulging it really doesnt close up well. There could be a little more padding on the exterior walls and bottom. Shoulder strap is not mounted on swivel clips where it attaches to the bag so it has a slight tendancy to twist but I have not found it to be a problem.

Having pointed out these minor items I do think this is a fantastic bag.... and one that does not scream "Hey this bag is full of expensive camera gear... steal me!". I looked at plenty of bags online and at the local big-box stores and am pleased with this choice.

I looked at several bags that were well made and would no doubt provide great protection for the cameras—but they weighed too much. One designed specifically for travel weighed almost 10 lbs (the bag by itself!), which would not allow me to get much equipment into the bag and keep everything under 15 lbs. With the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home bag, however, I have been able to pack two full-frame bodies, four lenses, and two flash units and still keep it under 15 lbs.

And while the bag isn't bulletproof and I wouldn't really want it to drop straight to the floor from six feet, it is nevertheless quite well padded, and provides more than adequate protection against the kind of normal banging about that I expect.

The interior of the bag is well designed. My stuff goes in and comes out easily and it seems that everything is pretty accessible.

And then there's the look. I was actually a little worried about the possibility that the bag might be too hip for me personally. Well, I've gotten compliments from my daughters. I'm a casual guy, the bag has a nice casual look. I particularly like the fact that it doesn't LOOK like a camera bag.

The size turns out to be perfect not just for long-distance travel but also for work locally. This is now my main bag. I like it a lot.

Tried to think of something negative to say about it to demonstrate my good faith, but I can't.

I am very pleased with this bag, perfect balance between configurability, size, protection and shall I say "style"? It doesn't look like it's a camera bag --which is a great because most camera bags / backpacks look dorky as all hell. Instead it looks like a simple but attractive canvas messenger bag, which keeps potential thieves from noticing that you've probably got valuable camera equipment / technology in there. The inside of the 7 million dollar home is very spacious and has velcro-attached customizable dividers. It can hold a large DSLR camera and a number of lenses. For my purposes it's exactly what I wanted: a versatile bag that lets me say either bring my Canon D60 with battery grip and a few lenses on a big trip (heavy load), or pare things down and just bring the camera with one lens to the park to take pictures of my daughter or walk around all day with my camera (light load), all while being a nice safe, well padded place to keep the camera when it's not in use. The price was excellent! Highly recommend.

Honest reviews on Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home MD-07-14A

I have a smaller and a bigger one. What's great about them is that they are totally normal-not all these crazy clips and meshes to organize god knows what. Just a big padded compartment with moveable pads. You look like a normal human carrying one of these around.

I can't say enough about this bag! If you want something that it totally utilitarian & descreet, then get this bag.

I can comfortably fit a crop camera with battery grip with 70-200 zoom lens attached, facing down. I can fit a standard zoom in a corner pocket, a full-size flash in another, a couple primes, batteries, cables, filters, & more in this.

The strap is comfortable. This is perfect for someone that may be doing street photography or traveling. It's the perfect size. A little smaller than my Lowepro classified 200AW.

The material is like durable canvas & the inside lining is felt lined. The dividers inside are made of felt covered as well, thin, & rubber-padded. They are attached by Velcro & can be removed & configured to your liking.

This bag is totally worth the money. Nothing else out there like it.

this bag is just what i was looking for. i already own a Think Tank professional camera bag that holds several lenses, camera bodies, and my laptop. when i ordered this bag i was looking for something that would work for walking around a city. fits body and lenses up to 4 1/2 inches. side pockets will NOT fit a wallet but you can hide an id and a couple credit cards behind the memory card in the front pouch. side pockets would be good for cell phone, ipod, etc. all in all, i love this bag. i'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for something simple to take on photowalks.

this bag is super. Holds the Canon 40D w/ Tamron 28-300 lens w/o a problem. Super efficient with pockets in the right places to offer easy access to extra battery, cards, filters, etc. Comfy shoulder strap. Good zippers to seal it shut, very convenient for travel when the big camera bag is just too much.

The price is sweet, I looked at a lot of these on ebay and elsewhere, this purchase cant be beat. And you get the Amazon warranty so there is no down side I see

I run with a Canon XTI and a mid range telephoto lens. This bag has every attribute going for it.

1Extremely well made. All seams and zippers very well made and sewn. It's not at all likely this bag will open or fail, dropping your equipment to the ground.

2Stylish.

3Carry handle is the right size for a mid size hand. Sometimes you want to take the bag off your shoulder and just carry it. Very comfortable and again, well sewn.

4Carry strap is nice and wide and comfortable. Again, well sewn.

5Belt loop I don't forsee myself carrying the bag in this fashion, so not much I can tell you here.

6Outside compartments are roomy for the items you'd want to carry such as spare memory, batteries, and maybe your cell.

Overall, the entire Amazon process was amazing, and I was able to save about $20 off the retail prices.

I will be looking into other products they make for my larger bag requirements.

Ohby the way, you can choose to zip the inner compartment, making the bag more secure and I would think rain resistant. That's how I start my day with the inner zip zipped. Once I take the camera out, I don't rezip, just close it with a well designed, and easy to use clasp.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5515 Adventure Zoom 5 (Red/Black)

Smaller, but can fit my Nikon D90 with extra 2 batteries, 2 filters plus SD cards. Good for me to take out.

The edge of top cover is a little overlap and zipping is not very convenient.

This bag is the perfect size for my Canon Rebel XSi with 18-55mm kit lens attached. When I get more lenses, I will need a bigger bag, as there is not extra room for additional lenses, but for now, it meets my needs perfectly. It is comfortable to wear over my shoulder when I am on the go, and easy to put my camera in and take out of--though still snug enough that my camera stays protected. Side pockets are perfect for cell phones, keys, power cords, memory cards, extra batteries, etc.

I have so many camera bags in my possession right now that I actually think I've beaten my girlfriend's stash of bags and purses. Each bag I have has a significant purpose for the things I do in life. Whether it be for a long trip overseas or an in studio photo session, each bag does it's job. I needed a bag that wasn't a backpack, a suitcase or even "a typical camera bag." Something that could lug around my Canon 5D mated with a 70-200 Telephoto lens and battery grip. I accidentally purchased the Topload Zoom AW thinking that's the one I needed. Apparently it's not modeled for a Camera with Battery Grip, so I returned it and picked up the Toploader Pro 75 AW. (Please be careful when selecting one of the 7 TopLoad bags that Lowepro has to offer.

The Toploader Pro 75 AW fits my Canon 5D (Series 1) with Battery Grip and Strap just about right. It's a little tight with no room to move, but after adjusting the removable foam pads around, I can say that the fit is almost perfect. I can have my 70-200 2.8 mounted to the body with the grip or my 17-40 with no problem. I just recently purchased the Lens Case LC 1 and LC 2 to take advantage of Lowepro's Sliplock System with this Bag. The Oblong shape is what I really like about this bag. I'm a skinny dude, 5'8 and the bag seems to rest just right around my hip and down my side. My Speedlite with in it's case fits comfy in the front pocket and the open pocket on the other side is nice enough to put little nick'nacks in as well. Overall, I'm very happy with this bag and with my purchase directly from Amazon. Do try to go to a camera shop and check one out for yourself to make sure it's the right fit for you before order. It will save you a lot of time. Thanks

Lowepro Toploader Pro 75 AW

READ OTHER REVIEWS CAREFULLY. Look at what the reviewer actually was describing. Several of the "most helpful" were actually for the Zoom AW models (not the *Pro* AW, which are more expensive, better padding, better materials, more attachment options). It seems like an Amazon problem; I think the reviews sometimes get incorrectly attached to a product "family," even to distant relatives on the family tree.

Other reviews of *this bag* are pretty much on the money: well built, well padded, nice expanding accessory pockets, good zippers, good stitching, lots of attachment/carrying options. I own both a Zoom 50 AW (consumer grade/price) and this Pro 75 AW (pro grade/price). The Pro is worth the price premium to me because of the additional protection offered to my gear while hiking and Nordic skiing (with seemingly no weight penalty). The only negative is that the rain cover is relatively complicated (compared to the Zoom AW). The Zoom AW is as simple as a shower cap; but, it has to be removed in order to access your camera. The Pro AW rain cover is much trickier to get on the bag, but allows access to the main compartment while it is still in place (though the accessory pockets are inaccessible). Neither cover is effective in heavy rain; but, they are both very helpful to me as extra protection from light rain or snow (in wetter conditions, I put my gear in heavy duty Ziploc bags inside the Lowepro).

I'm impressed enough that Lowepro will be tops on my list for my next bag purchase.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Lowepro Topload Zoom 55AW Camera Bag (Black)

PROS:

Long enough to fit a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens while attached to a Canon T1i camera (with the sun shade on the lens in the flipped around packed position).

Velcro divider that can separate two smaller lenses.

Lid has a zippered compartment with a protective triangle of fabric to tuck the zipper pull behind to not scratch the camera. (See note on camera lid in cons below.)

Loops on exterior webbing (possible use for slipping a small travel tripod through).

D-rings on top strap and more importantly on the bottom of this long bag can be used to keep the bag from flopping around while walking.

Handy rain cover for the bag that is attached to the bag and tucks neatly in the flap located at the back of the bag.

Belt loop attachment.

Carrying handle is sturdy and comfortable in the hand.

CONS:

The lid could be made out of a soft fabric versus nylon which would provide a softer surface as it does touch the camera screen. A thick micro fiber type fabric would be nice.

Exterior zippered compartment could be used for a flash unit if the compartment were padded.

This case would have received 4 stars if it had more padding in the bottom of the bag to protect the lens.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Toploader Pro 65 AW

I ordered the 55 AW for my D5100 with 70-300 VR zoom lens and hood attached, but it fell over 1 inch short of fitting, with hood in shooting position. When I reversed the hood, it barely fit; but the hood's outter edge snagged on the lower seams of the velcro that is sewn halfway down inside (for a divider), while trying to pull it back out of the case. It was frustrating to get it back out once, and I did not put it back in again; I was afraid I would break my hood or tear up the lens/camera trying to get it out. The padding is also thin on the 55 model, and does not seem adequate enough for the safety of my equipment, when wilderness hiking. However, I just got the PRO 75 AW, and it is perfect!!! Much better built in terms of padding and pockets; it holds my camera with battery grip, 70-300mm zoom lens attached and hood on, in shooting position. And it also holds my 18-55 wide angle zoom in the upper compartment in front, and extra batteries and a micro cloth in the lower. It came with both chest harness and padded shoulder strap, and is exactly what I needed for trail photography; I LOVE IT!!! For whatever reason, Amazon would not let me review the PRO 75, saying I had already reviewed it, and asked if I wanted to edit. When I clicked the link, it brought me here, to my review of the 55 AW, so I edited. The 4 stars is for the PRO 75; I originally only gave the 55 AW a 3 star rating, and that was being generous.

I am using this holster with a Canon 50D w/ a battery grip and a 70-200 f2.8. The camera and lens fit great even with the lens hood inverted. It even has enough room in the front pocket for my Canon flash. I added a Lowepro lens case mounted to the side for an additional wide angle zoom. The quality is top notch!

Call me a visual person but I just love things that match. These Sanyo bags fit my Yellow Sanyo WH1 Waterproof camera and are qaulity made a great deal for the proce. It will hold the camera and maybe a card or two, but dont count on camrry a long charger cord and stuff, it wont fit. I still love it and think it was more then worth the money. Genuine accessories always make your products worth more.

I got this for my new Canon SD800 IS (great camera btw). It's as small as possible, not possible to get any smaller really without sacrificing protection & utility. It fits in my pants pocket which is really nice. It has a small pocket for a memory card or battery, I'm not sure both would fit in there. This is the bag I use most of the time. I have a larger one for if we were going out for the entire day.

Just received the Rezo 10 for my new Canon S90. The pouch is well constructed as everyone's reviewed here, however the S90 is too long for this bag. There is a discrepancy on the internal dimensions listed on Amazon vs. Lowepro's website: 2.8 x 1.4 x 4.7 vs. 2.8 x 0.8 x 3.5, respectively. In this case, I'd go with Lowepro's sizing to be accurate. I will return the model 10 to Amazon and get a model 30 instead.

Shop carefully and Amazon, please correct the post.

I'm giving the product a 5 star rating because it is very well made and attaches on my Lowepro Flipside 200 nicely.

I bought this camera bag for my Canon Powershot 600. It was perfect! I am a big fan of anything lightweight and not a nuisance or bulky to carry around. With the adjustable strap, you can easily put it around your neck or carry it on your shoulder. It even has a loop in the back of the pouch so that you can carry it on your belt. It also has a small pocket on the inside to maybe put in another memory card for the camera or extra battery pack. Definitely worth the price.

Fantastic little bag. Better than the zippered ones they make now. Lowepro had it right the first time, I don't know why they changed it to what they produce now.

I am a Lowepro fan because all their products are high-quality and thoughtfully designed. This small case is no exception, but was too small to comfortably fit the Canon S100 I bought it for. At such a low price, I kept it to use with something else. I've got the Lowepro Apex 20 AW that works beautifully as a belt case for the S100.
