Review of Lowepro Clips 140 Photo Shoulder Bag for Digital Camcorder (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this bag for a consumer-oriented Sony minDV HD camcorder. The recent model camcorder is quite small so there's a lot of room inside the bag for the camera plus accessories, plus tapes. Easy to use and seems to be well made. You'll never be inconspicuous using this bag but at least you'll know if it "walks away."

This is a very well made bag and nice appearance as far as style is concerned. Lowepro is high quality and they make great bags, but they missed the mark with this one.

While the open out (think glove box in your car) compartment could be a very handy way to access your camera vs. the usual zipped and flapped compartment, this bag is very inefficient in its use of space.

The exterior pockets hold little to nothing, and todays digital cameras and camcorders require cables galore and chargers. What about lens cleaning and other accessories. Where to put them in this bag? It will hold memory cards.

There are no storage compartments in the lid, like with other LowePro bags. The main storage compartment could use more than one adjustable divider to make best use of its available space.

The LowePro Edit bags have the same numbering system as the Clips bags. The larger the number, the bigger the bag. My recommendation is to stick with the Edit Bags. They make better use of pockets and space.

BTW, Amazon's website incorrectly listed (larger than actual size) the interior and exterior dimensions on this Clips 140 bag.

This is a nice bag, good quality. BUT Looks much larger in the picture than it really is. Make sure you look at the dimensions carefully before you buy. I have a small Canon Vixia HV30, and I have trouble getting it in the bag. Forget about putting other accessories in the bag. For the money I thought it should have been a bit larger.

Updated I Recently noticed that I had originally only rated this bag with 1 star that was an error. My review stands as written but I never meant to give it just one star. I have corrected my rating.

Like:

Zippered top flap -I don't have to worry about holding it upside-down.

Clip-on shoulder strap -no sewn-in straps!

Subtle top handle -I don't like Lowerpro's "foam rainbow" handles.

Just enough space -Fits the camera, spare batteries, charger, cleaning products, and cords almost perfectly.

Don't Like:

Internal divider -You can only set it at 90-degrees

No storage in the top flap -There's space! Lemme use it!

Overall:

I have little issues with this bag, but the price and size took care of everything I was looking for.

I ordered this case for a new video camera. The case was perfect for the camera and few accessories that came with the camera. The case was well made. I would recommend this case to anyone with a small video or digital camera.

I used this bag to carry a Panasonic FZ18. The camera would just fit when laid on its side, leaving enough space for all the other cables. However, I was not able to fit the lens hood in the bag when the cables were present.

Otherwise the charger fit in the front pocket, and some lens cloths fit in the side pocket.

The bag is very small, but looks and feels like a quality product.

If your equipment fits in this bag, then I recommend it.

First, this should really be called a Photo DayPack. It has two distinct areas: one well padded area for photo gear, the other unpadded for things like sweaters, etc.

The camera compartment is not huge, but it will accommodate most peoples digital SLR, mid-range zoom, telephoto zoom and flash, and a few other modest size accessories. It's not a very good bag for a gadget freak you can't decide what to take, so takes everything.

The top compartment serves two useful functions. It gives us a nice, somewhat roomy area for carrying odds and ends; and it extends the bag length so that it fits comfortably on the back. This design is also much lighter than most backback designs, which makes it more suited to those such as myself who don't like to lug tons on my back.

I hope this review helps those who are debating whether to purchase this backpack. Here is what I have in the lower portion of my bag right now (which is all my equipment) compare the dimensions provided to what you own:

Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only) (which is attached to:)

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras According to Sigma's website: Diameter 76.6mm X Length 122mm (3.0 in. X 4.8 in)

Tamron Autofocus 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) for Canon SLR Cameras (off the camera) According to Tamron's website: Diameter x Length = ø73mm x 92mm (2.9 in x 3.6 in)

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens (off the camera) Dimensions (Diameter x Length)= 41.0mm x 68.2 (1.6" x 2.7")

In the last two bottom compartments (which could hold lenses instead of what I carry) I have:

Four 67mm colored filters each in their own HUGE hard plastic protectors

One camera cap

One back lens cap (for the attached Sigma)

One pocket guide for the Canon XTI (very tiny)

One 67 to 52mm step ring in flexible plastic

How does it fit? Very well. I have NOT manipulated the dividers and they are in their original place. I have room to stack another short lens on top of the Canon 50mm if I ever buy another short lens. It is important to note that the Sigma 70-300 attached to the XTI is a smidge too tall and pushes lightly into the top compartment space (which is separated by material filled with what I guess to be foam padding).

Now I guess it is time for my complaints...

I am a huge fan of the BIG purse movement. I LOVE room for all my personal belongings. I love being able to carry EVERYTHING with me. In my purses I am able to hold a hoodie, six chapsticks, several lip glosses, a few games, checkbook, oversized wallet, snacks, calendar, Tylenol, water bottle, hand wipes, cell phone, two pairs of sunglasses, breath mints, pens, coin purse... oh I am sure I am forgetting things. Nevertheless, I assumed a backpack would be able to fit at LEAST this in the upper portion. I was wrong. I knew the dimensions before buying and tried to simulate the size at home. I figured I would have to cut back on my "essentials" but I didn't realize how much. My compromise? The hoodie will be slipped through the belt buckle and tied in place and I will have to learn to live with a little less when I travel with this backpack.

So with the upper size constraints, why did I buy this pack?

Obviously, (from my purse contents) I needed a daypack. The Tamrac differentiated itself from others in several ways. It was necessary for me to have the water bottle pockets. Cold and wet water bottles do not mix with electronics (cell phones, cameras, etc.) and paper (checkbooks, calendar, etc.) and the mesh outer pockets became a deciding factor. This ruled out the Lowepro Orion Trekker II Camera Backpack (Black). The Tamrac Adventure 9 Photo/Computer Backpack (Grey/Black)was another contender (because of the slightly larger size) but I hated the idea of extra weight due to the notebook pocket I would never use. Additionally, I did not like the way the bottom portion of the Adventure 9 opened. From the photos it seemed like a security risk and had the potential to spill out on to the sidewalk. (Though I could be wrong)

Hope this helps!

For those of you wanting to lug around all of your gear then this bag is not for you.

I on the otherhand don't have a lot (canon 20d, 70-200 lens, 18-55 lens, flash and charger. I can fit all of my stuff in here fine. And if I know I don't want to carry all of my stuff great.

The top is actually bigger than what I thought. For now, I leave my 70-200 lens attached to the camera and put it in the top part. ANd I put my wallet and keys down below instead. This is only because I don't have a smaller zoom lens yet that I want to leave attached which will then store the camera in the bottom section as well as the 70-200 lens in the bottom section. I on'y do this because that's the lens I always use and don't want to attach and detatch on account of dust. So there you have it. It's not HUGE and it really does hold alot.

There are mesh compartments on the side that do hold water bottles. There are mesh compartments in the top that hold my wallet/pda and keys and sunglasses.

The bottom has rigid compartment barriers which I like but it's all about your taste.

Bottom line if you don't have 200 dollars to sink into a bag then this is a great bag. I wanted a bag that I could afford so I could spend more money on a better lens.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5547 Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Red/Black)

I have several camera bags and this by far is the move versatile I own and my standard bag for out and about. It easily handles my Nikon D50 with 3 lenses and a flash. I have room for extra batteries etc.

The top compartment was great for carrying my Gortex jacket, sun glasses, power cords and chargers, as well as a baseball cap and more.

It's light enough to carry all day, doesn't make you look too much like a tourist.

If you are considering this you should also look at the Adventure 9 (#5549). I don't have that one yet, but other than the extra "weight", it looks like another alternative.

I bought this by mail order rather than the 5546 model on the basis that it had a larger top compartment which would fit "a light jacket, lunch or other stuff". Don't believe a word of it. Although the bottom compartment is fine and the pack has some cool features, once you squash in a lightweight parka there's not much room for anything else.

If you need a backpack for an all day trip or travel, the Lowepro Rover AW series would be a better choice, even with the strangely excessive waist straps. In the Rover's top compartment you can easliy fit a parka, lunch, thermos, sun block, cell phone, film, maps etc with room to spare. Any extras can go on the outside secured by the bungee straps and protected by the AW cover when raining.

The reason for buying these sorts of packs is threefold to protect your photo equipment, to carry other gear that you might need on a short tramp or trip and to be comfortable doing so.

I like Tamrac gear, but sorry, this is not up to its larger tag. If this 5547 model had more room up top for other gear (gussets or another front pouch?) it would get 4 or 5 stars. It is fine if you know its limitations and want small or if you want very small go for the 5546 model.

Vidpro ACT-15 Black Accent Large Camera Case Review

Customer Ratings:

This is a very nice camera case that I purchased as part of a set Must Have Accessories Bundle Kit For Nikon Coolpix. I would say that the dimensions listed on this page are fairly accurate in reflecting the interior of the case; it holds my Nikon Coolpix S8200 just right, even when I put an extra battery or memory card in the little inside pocket. Speaking of which, I do like having the inside pocket, although a Velcro closure on this would have been nice. Similarly, I like the exterior strap as well, but it is not as easily removable as I'd like (i.e., there are hard plastic clips that do not maneuver easily to come off quickly). However, the best features of this case that will be appreciated by most is that it has two zippers which go completely around and that it is a hard shell to completely protect the camera. Given these aspects, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this handy, inexpensive camera bag.

****************

Update 7/26/12

****************

Today I noticed that the metal "Vidpro" logo on the outside of this camera case attaches with small metal prongs that travel INSIDE the case. This prongs are simply small tabs that fold over onto the inside of the case. Although they are rounded, they were also somewhat rough, and I was concerned that they might actually scratch my camera (this hadn't happened as of yet). Therefore, I lifted up the tabs and removed the logo (this did leave a small indentation as well as small slits in the front of the case, but it is not overly noticeable).

I also have a second issue with this case, although I did mention this in my original review. The case has an inside pocket, which is handy for an extra battery, memory card, etc. However, it is a very loose pocket with NO closure, and I almost lost the the extra battery for my camera because it slipped right out of this pocket. Without the closure, I find it to be almost non-functional, so I am going to add a Velcro strip to it myself.

Given these two issues, I've deducted one star from my original review.

Great pouch to hold my Canon Rebel T3i. I was a bit hesitant at first when buying it but it turned out to be a useful and convenient pouch to carry along instead of the huge regular dslr bags.

I'm really satisfied with the product and highly recommend it.

I wanted a smaller camera case for my Nikon D3100 that was colorful and cute. This seemed like it would do. It fits my camera with the lens that came with it, so if you have any other lens don't think it will fit this case. I had to leave my strap hanging outside of the case, I don't want to cram it in the case and take a chance of scratching my digital screen. I also like to carry the battery charger, connection cable for computer, a couple of SD cards, a pen and small notebook. I don't think that is much extra, but there is room for those and nothing more in the extra storage. So this is a close fit.

My problem with this case wasn't the size, or even really the $9.99 extra that I was charged for shipping. By the zone and weight on the package that was just over $3.50 too much for shipping. I probably wouldn't have said anything about that if the smell had not been so bad that I had to set it outside for a full day then spray it to get rid of the smell. I am not sensitive to smells, but this was strong enough that I could not keep it in the house.

So if you purchase this be aware that it is a tight fit, what looks like a good price is less than a good price when the shipping is added in, and it comes with a horrible smell.

Tenba 638-341 Messenger Camera Bag (Black) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I guess there is no single bag that meets everyone's needs and all the major manufacturers have features the others lack. Its the same with this Tenba Messenger bag. First, the good. Its light. Current pro digital SLRs are simply too heavy (I've seen guys doing "street shooting" using roll around bags!) so shaving a pound off the bag weight is terrific. Next, the reason I bought the bag--it opens at the top! Eureka. After you've had to use 2 or 3 hands to mess with clips or even set your bag down to open or close it, you realize the easiest & quickest way to open a camera bag (or a box of corn flakes) is from the top. While this bag doesn't have the superior, double zipper arrangement that really gives unlimited access, having just a slit does help conceal what's in the bag. Of course, once you pull out your 5D with giant white L lens, people will probably guess the bag is not full of old socks.

Now for the less good. Remember that great top access? The top flap has no rigidity at all. So, when the bag is on your shoulder and you tug on the zipper, its like trying to zip a jacket that's crumpled up. You have to straighten the two sides of the top flap, so now we're back to needing 2 hands. That's still better than having a bag with clips on the bottom but there's another hitch. Even with everything zipped and latched there's a lot of clearance between the top flap and the interior of the bag. In other words, for small lenses, you don't even need the top zipper; you can reach under the sides of the top flap even when its "closed". So not a bag for wet weather.

This is just my personal taste but the type of shoulder pad Tenba uses on this bag is like an SUV. Big enough to call attention to itself yet not very comfortable. True, it does not slip but it tugs. My preference is the suede pads used on the better Tamrac bags, which miraculously don't slip yet are super comfortable. But that's personal taste and I can just clip on a Tamrac strap. Lastly--and this shows Tenba really does listen--this bag has the usual enormous strip of Velcro but it also has a fold-down flap to cover the Velcro so you don't announce yourself every time you need to take a photo.

All taken into account, on a dry day, with the top flap unzipped, and for just over $100, its a nice bag but (my opinion) not as well thought out as other Tenba bags.

I subjected my new Tenba large Messenger camera bag to an admittedly severe test in France the past three weeks. I carried a Canon 5D2, a 70-200 zoom and four small primes all over Normandy and Brittany. Through airports I added my small laptop and a mesh bag of chargers, cards, card reader and other assorted stuff. So, the bag was admittedly rather heavy.

First of all, I really like this bag. It carries well, at least in part because of the well-padded strap. I am under no illusion that it does not look like a camera bag. Fully loaded, it couldn't be anything else. I do like the upper zipper access to the bag, allowing quick access to my camera with current choice of lens. I even did lens changes through the upper zipper. The bag accommodated my 70-200 zoom, even with the hood attached. In rainy weather, I kept a folded Velcro wrap between the lid and the contents. A user would do well to keep a plastic sheet to put over the entire bag in a downpour.

I carried it in very crowded cities and had some concern that a skilled pickpocket could access my lenses through the gap in the top on each side of the bag. I have heard other users say a zipper closure might be helpful in such situations.

In general, whatever one carries in the bag, whether body, lenses or small laptop is easily accessible, which is what I wanted.

I have one concern. After a few days of carrying the bag, I noticed tiny metal bits around the attachment points for the strap clips. On closer inspection, I see fairly deep cuts in the rounded portions of the strap clips. If I were a pro, carrying this bag often with this kind of weight to press conferences or to weddings, it looks as if I could expect one of these clips to snap eventually, dumping my gear in the floor.

Tenba should consider a fix for this. The triangular attachment points are super hard metal, just as the advertising material claims. However, the edges have very sharp angular corners. These are rough on the clips, which are made of an obviously softer metal. I suggest rounding off the attachment fixture edges and/or using a harder metal on the clips.

Again, I love this bag. Tenba obviously consulted working photographers when they designed it.

I wanted a small belt case for my RX100, and picked this one for the following reasons:

* Neoprene provided good padding-to-bulk ratio.

* Magnetic closure magnets do not break.

* Small profile

So what's wrong?

* It's a little wider than necessary for the RX100. There's not much wasted space inside, but fat seams around add bulk.

* Belt loop (sewn in) only fits narrow belts. No wider than average belt would fit it.

* No side protection. Only some elastic to keep the camera in place.

* The magnet is a bit weaker than I'd hoped, although it works.

It's a good case if you want to toss the camera in your purse or backpack.

Standalone it works, but could be better.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera case is basically for any camera smaller than an SLR. It is like a regular camera gadget bag only smaller. The internal dimensions are approximately 7 x 4 inches by 5 inches deep. Within that standard block-shaped space you can position two included dividers to create up to three cells to separate your camera and any other equipment you might care to carry along with you.

There are two dedicated memory pockets under the lid. The pocket in the front of the case should not be used to carry anything that is small enough to slip out or smooth enough to slide out, because the pocket cannot be sealed. Things are held in the front pocket by the lid flap. The strap has a nice anti-slip area, which is a nice touch. The case is made of quality material throughout.

A permanent strap "handle" is convenient for carrying it like a little suitcase and two permanent straps on either end can be used to clip things to (or whatever your imagination can come up with).

It's a nice, quality product. But...

I don't like a flap whose only practical use seems to be to help keep things in the front pocket. If you were to remove the flap and make the front pocket sealable, you'd have a better product in my opinion. In case you didn't know, the contents of this case are kept safe because the lid is zippered. The latchable flap is just an annoyance to me.

There's one other weird thing. I would have liked it much better if the shoulder/neck strap and the small permanent carry strap were located in the middle of the case, right over the center of gravity, rather than on the corner of the case. Unless you carry it in your hands, using one of the two straps will cause the case to be tilted. That's just weird and awkward to me.

I gave it four stars instead of three because the very features that I don't like may be useful to someone else. The material is tough and the design is simple. But the flap and the offset carrying straps bother me.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera bag is suited toward either smaller SLR cameras or camcorders. It is being marketed as a bag for 4/3rd's style SLR's, but it has many uses beyond that as well (my Nikon D50 and lens can fit). Overall, the construction and quality is nice, however, for the price I would have expected better design, ergonomics and storage options.

Pros:

-Good material construction

-Small & lightweight

-2 dividers than can be placed anywhere within the bag

-2 memory card pouches

-Buckles and zipper closure provide options

-Clean, sleek look

Cons:

-Interior bag fabric not bonded to the padding could come loose or stretched after repeated repositioning of the dividers

-Expensive for the small size and limited storage options

-No zippered/velcro pockets other than for memory cards.

-Poor carrying ergonomics the strap and handle are positioned off-center, and feels like the camera can fall out if the flap isn't zippered shut.

The exterior construction is nice, the top flap can be either zipped shut, or simply buckled. The watchout here is that the strap and handle are not placed well. If your camera is in the bag, but the bag isn't zipped or buckled, you may find the camera tumbling out as you pick up the bag. Additionally, with the buckles attached to the underside of the flap, they're hard to get to and limited in adjustment.

Two dividers, one full depth and one 1/2 depth, allow you to create up to 3 compartments inside the bag, or you can remove them completely. The dividers stick anywhere within the bag, not just in certain spots. This lets you fully customize the interior. If you often rearrange the dividers, be aware that as you pull them off the sides, it tends to stretch the interior fabric. Over time, I could see the fabric stretching out.

Removing all the dividers, I was able to fit my Nikon D50 camera with 15-105mm lens in the bag. Granted, nothing else would fit, but this does make it a suitable bag for entry-level DSLR owners your camera and lens will fit, but you just won't have extra room. That makes this bag nice when you only want to carry just a camera and its lens, and don't want to deal with a huge bag.

With only one general-use pocket, which cannot be secured, valuables like a tripod mount, battery, etc don't feel secure. I would've preferred the pocket to either zip shut or at least have a velco tab, especially with the way the bag flips forward when picked up by the handle or strap.

I'm honestly stuck between 3 and 4 stars on this one, but feel it fell short on overall value ($50 at the time of this review). It's a quality bag, but a bit pricey and could've had some better ergonomic and design options. A simple bag might be worth the cost if it's perfectly designed, but I don't think Lowepro hit the mark on this one.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The interior dimensions of this bag are approximately 7" x 4" x 5". It looks like a little lunch bag actually. It is well padded. I like that the padded separators are adjustable (with velcro). The position of the shoulder strap is kind of strange, located at the back of the bag. This is not a problem when I'm wearing the bag over my shoulders, but when I'm handling the bag it tends to tip forwards. A bit awkward, but I guess this will just take some getting used to. I like the small handle on the back of the bag. It has two small interior pockets for memory cards. Overall I would say that this is a good quality camera bag, but too expensive at the current price of just under fifty dollars.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have probably a half a dozen LowePro bags (the downside of having a photography hobby) and this bag is the first one that I thought was a bit of a disappointment. I like pockets on camera bags because there's no shortage of stuff you carry, from memory cards to misc cables.

Like all of the LowePro bags I have, they're built ruggedly very well padded and can handle some abuse. Something this small should feel like it should take some abuse. The camera fit a T2i with kit lens pretty snugly, but it's designed for those who went for the 4/3rds cameras. I'd even use this for a larger megazoom digital camera.

The price is what causes me some reservation. At $50, it's far more expensive than their other bags this size. I'd recommend something like the Lowepro Edit 100 Camcorder Bag (Black) or the Lowepro Adventura 170 Camera Case (Black) simply because if you've already bought a camera and an extra lens, you're on your way to spending more money on the camera for additional accessories.

This is a decent bag, but the price kills it.

Timbuk2 Sneak Camera Case (OS) Review

I just today received this camera case, and while I DO intend to keep it, prospective buyers should be warned that while it is exceptionally well-made, it has essentially no padding at all in the construction. It's something to put your camera in to carry around, but if you drop it, there will be little, if any impact protection.

This case is rather rugged with good padding and room for the camera. Just what you would expect from Timbuk2.

Just to be clear, I am heavily biased towards Timbuk2 products. That being said, I really do think this is a nice camera case. It is very well-constructed, and the material is smooth despite being durable. There's a bit more refinement to it than many of the other cases I have had in the past. I use it for my D600 with 50mm prime lens. Everything fits well and it is easy to open/close.

Some have noted the lack of padding. I agree that if you're going to be dropping this regularly, you may want to add some padding. But for most drops (and I have dropped it), the usual camera equipment will likely be just fine. The bag itself is somewhat stiff and seems to distribute the force of the drops well.

The only real issues in my opinion are the fact that it's not that sneaky (I personally can tell it's an equipment bag) and, for those who want to set their bags down upright, the bottom is rounded.

Hope this helps.

This works with my Nikon 5100 camera very well. I would give the fifth star if it was just about 2 inches deeper so that I could use it with my zoom lens.

This is a good value for a protection case for my Kodak M 380 camera.It has a clip to attach to a belt loop and a velcro strap to hold the camera in when you open the zippers to remove the camera. It works. My wife has since purchased one to carry her Iphone. It works great for that too.Great value.

Well, there's not much to say about a camera case other than the fact that this one is awesome. It's very compact, held both my camera and replacement battery and protects well. I carried this case with me in a book bag for a week's trip where my bag got thrown around quite a bit and it protected my camera very well. It's a nice looking case and it's perfect!
