Mark Tapungot is right this bag is bombproof, as all LowePro bags I have ever bought are. They just make a great product. This bag is the perfect bag for a Canon G7/G9, especially if you have the LensMate or Canon conversion adapter installed. It fits my G9 with LensMate adapter, filter & lens cap + a filter case for a polarizer, small cleaning kit, 2 extra batteries, and extra memory card like a glove. Absolutely perfect. The belt loop fits nicely on my backpack & waistpack belts. Note that this bag is not big enough to store additional conversion lenses like teles, wides or macros. If you have additional lens add-ons beyond the conversion adapter & a couple filters, check out one of the bigger Apex bags like the Apex 120.

I bought the Lowepro Apex 100 AW for the Panasonic DMC-FZ18. The Camera fits very nice but you can not carry much more in this case. It will carry the camera, spare battery and Memory cards but not much else. A perfect case for day trips.

hey peoples, this ,as of spring 2007, is a new model for lowepro. did quite a bit of searching to find a case that would be quiet, efficient for travel use and sturdy enough to drop and not ruin my camera inside. Although I could not find a model in town to look at first, I ultimately took a chance on this case to fit my canon powershot s3. based upon lowepro fitting guide, this one fit my camera and had the all weather wrap around cover that is a bonus in wet conditions. Also this case has a reinforced rubber bottom so if you are like me and make some unforced errors, the camera wont go first. so yeah I like. also has a nice belt loop on back. A very simple design. inside of case is a very soft material and can be converted into two pouches for whatever. and has a little pouch for an additional memory card.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Apex 100 AW -Black

This is a snug fit for my Sony NEX with 18-55 lens. THe camera sits on its side with the lens across the bottom. There's a divided pocket area inside at the front that can hold a few flat items like filters or an extra battery and the micro sized Sony flash attachment. You would be hard pressed to fit just the camera and the charger in there.

The shoulder strap has a padded section that is supposed to ride on, yup, your shoulder, but it doesn't actually work that well. In theory, the design allows for the strap to slide through the padded section so that it stays centered on your shoulder, however, the bag and contents aren't very heavy (unless you're toting gold bars or something) and the pad tends to fall right off your shoulder, or the strap slips through it and the pad ends up behind your back. Very annoying! I removed the pad and find the strap remains on my shoulder much better. Go figure!

I like the built in rain cover. Seems to work well.

Now, here's my main problem with the bag: one word Access! It's just too difficult to get it open and closed. There are two zippers that must go around very tight 90 degree corners to open the thing, and it's just way too fiddly. When you're tooling around and you need to get your camera out to snap that perfect picture, you are going to be fiddling around with those two zippers, and by the time you get your camera out of the bag, your kid's smile is gonna be gone; that beautiful bird, girl, car, whatever, will have passed you by. It's that much of a pain. Most of my other bags have a flap of some sort that covers the zipper enclosed area so you can "run and gun" with just the flap covering the top of the bag, leaving the zipper underneath open until you're storing the camera for a longer period of time. WAY BETTER SETUP!

In the end, I think the bag is decent, but the way they have the zipper section open and close makes my life a lot more difficult.

After much research, I purchased this bag and my Canon G11 fits in it perfectly. I replaced the Canon neckstrap that came with the camera with a Canon video wrist strap (which I prefer). This change resulted in more room in the bag for batteries (2), memory chips and even the charger everything I needed with me during excursions taken on a recent trip to Hawaii. The bag is well constructed inside and out, is light weight, and proved to be relatively water resistant during the occasional tropical shower.

The only minor negative is that it can be aggravating at times to quickly zip the zipper up (or down) on both sides of the bag in order to get the camera out or back in. Photo opportunities can be missed just trying to get the camera out quickly. Despite this minor point, I am very satisfied with this camera bag and highly recommend it to all Canon G11 shooters.

I spent a long time looking for a camera bag before settling on the Zuma 7. There are very few quick access backpacks on the market, and this one is as good as it gets... Quick access to your camera and maybe 1-2 lenses or a flash as well on the other side. Overall, ample room for 2-3 lenses, flash, iPad, batteries, cards, and a little extra energy bar, keys, and so forth making this the perfect bag for a day in the field. Very comfortable to carry.

Whenever I travel, I seem to always end up carrying the OEM Canon camera bag that came in the kit I bought from Costco and my laptop backpack. Since getting a New iPad this year, I no longer carry around a laptop and all the extras that go with those. While I still like using the backpack as my carry-everything-and-the-kitchen-sink bag, I hesitate moving anything into it from my camera bag, as it's just not that convenient to use for camera work other than a carrying case. Thus I decided to use the camera as the primary focus (pun intended) for my next "backpack". I found this little guy and was quite pleased with the convenient flexibility of changing where the camera loads in the bag for ease of access (left, right, center). Plus, it swallowed up all my accessories, cables, and then some, in addition to easily taking my iPad (plus its fat silicone and plastic shell case made by Griffin) into its gaping maw. Maybe that's an over-exaggeration, but in the same physical space as the OEM Canon bag, my iPad, camera, lenses, flash, cables, hoods, etc. all fit nice and neat. Plus, the total weight doesn't feel as drag-me-down-around-the-neck any more, so that's also a bonus.

My only knock on this bag is the price. The Case Logic bag that compares to this one is about $50 cheaper, and looks about as well-made as this one. Only features the Case Logic doesn't have are the camera positions the bag can accommodate, but they make up for that with the one central pocket/camera suspension design. That looks really nice, but I like being able to slide the camera in and out from the sides, for quick access; only have to drop one shoulder strap to grab the camera, as opposed to removing the entire bag for the Case Logic pocket.

I use this to carry my A77 and NEX-5 cameras. I do this so I can have a variety of focal lengths available using high quality glass. I can switch between them quickly once I got the knack of sliding the pack under my arm. It can carry a variety of additional stuff and can strap a small tripod on the bottom. This pack replaces carrying a shoulder bag.

Discount Case Logic TBC-306 SLR Camera Holster (Black)

Case Logic TBC-306 SLR Camera Holster
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this when I had my Canon Digital Rebel XT about a month ago. Before I bought this, I had another case from another brand, which was getting old. So I looked into Case Logic because I've bought a lot of their products before and I know that its always quality stuff. This case was no exception. When I got it, it looked a lot smaller than I had expected (in a good way). It was definitely smaller than my previous case. I was worried at first that It would not fit my camera and kit lens (18-55mm) like my previous case. But to my surprise, it fit even better! It managed to store my camera with the kit lens on, the battery charger, body cap, data cable, memory card box and the case strap which I had not yet attached to the case. All of this fit very comfortably, and there is still room for a little more stuff. The little zipper compartment on the front flap of the case is still empty. Though to be honest, I don't see much fitting in there anyway. A memory card or two at the most. Maybe something flat. The only downside is that it does not fit my camera manual. It is a bit too big for the case. But I'm sure not everyone usually walks around with their manuals! I have a slight case of OCD, and I just like having everything to do with my camera in one place, you know?

Three days ago, I upgraded my DSLR to the Canon 20D. This camera also still fits in the case with the kit lens on. With this camera though, the fit is a lot more snug since the camera is a lot bigger than the XT. But it still fits, and closes as well as when I had the XT in there. So I am totally satisfied with it! Even if I upgrade to a bigger case, it will definitely be from Case Logic. The build quality is excellent. Soft and padded in the important areas, and slightly more stiff on the flap area. It has a very nice color scheme too. Highly recommended!

EDIT 1:

I've had this case for almost a year now, and I've cycled through DSLRs like nobodies business. So apart from the XT and the 20D I mentioned above, I've since used this case for a 30D and now a 40D (soon a 60D). All of them have fit ever so perfectly with no space for it to move around. I've taken this case with me to the beach, road trips, the Niagara Falls and other random places! So its safe to say that this case has been tested, and guess what. It looks BRAND new even today. This case is SUPERB.

EDIT 2:

So I bought my 60D! This camera fits even better than the 60D with the 18-55 IS lens on it! It's probably because of the fact that the 60D is a tad smaller. It is also a tad lighter, which makes it much nicer to carry with this case. Still an excellent case thats going strong!

This is a nice, lightweight case. I carry my panasonic lumix FZ28 with lens hood on inside. The side pockets gives me room for a battery charger (wall type, no cord), extra battery, cell phone and my small wallet. Perfect for day trips so that I don't have to carry camera around my neck, and don't look to much like a tourist when camera is in the bag. Easy access by just pulling on the front flap with one hand and both zippers come undone to reveal the camera. Has a velcro closure as well on the flap so you dont' have to zip it up when you are inbetween shots! Very nice!

This Caselogic 306 SLR Camera Holster was perfect for what I was looking for. My Canon XSI with the 18-55 lens fit nice and snug in the bag. The strap could be folded on top of the back of the camera. The side pockets hold the battery charger and extra lens filters. The front storage pocket holds small items like extra memory cards. The bag is durable and nice looking and is padded very well in case you drop it. You will need another case for any extra lenses. I would definitely recommend this item for a DSLR camera.

Honest reviews on Case Logic TBC-306 SLR Camera Holster (Black)

First, this isn't a bag I would want to use in a rough situation. The padding is fairly minimal in it. However, I don't really think that is supposed to be its purpose. It is called a holster for a reason. It isn't designed for major storage of your camera. It's designed for when you want a light bag that's quick and not bulky. There are plenty of other bags with more padding, that hold more. However, those bags are substantially larger, heavier and bulkier. So, I feel that it is unfair to criticize the bag on this front. That would be like criticizing a mini cooper because it can't haul your family of 5 plus two dogs and a week's worth of luggage.

Now that we've talked about what the bag doesn't do and isn't good at, let's talk about what it is good at, and why I gave it five stars:

First of all, it's a perfect fit for my camera. It's tight, sure, but I actually would prefer that to too big where the camera is sliding back and forth. My D3100 fits perfectly snug in the main compartment with the 18-55mm kit lens attached.

Secondly, the extra compartments are just enough. I can actually fit a 55-200 mm lens in one of the side pockets, which was surprising. In the other side pocket I can fit: a micro tripod, a macro/wide angle combo filter/lens, a remote, some rubber bands and some plastic bags. In the front tiny pouch pocket, I can fit an extra battery and an extra memory card or two. Basically the essentials.

Thirdly, while it doesn't have a lot of padding, it is very ruggedly built. You aren't going to have to worry about the zipper breaking, they're all very big, sturdy zippers. The stitching is all very strong. The velcro for the front is strong. You're not going to have to worry about this thing falling apart.

Fourth, as far as cases go, it's attractive. I also somewhat prefer that it isn't camera branded. If you know what you're looking for, it's very obviously a camera bag, but a common thief would probably mistake it for something of lesser value.

Fifth, I like that you can just velcro down the main compartment without zipping the zippers. This is what is meant by calling it a "holster" and not a bag. It gives you the option to quickly rip open the compartment and grab your camera without painstaking zipping and unzipping the main compartment. Perfect for when you want a little more protection than simply letting your camera dangle around your neck, but you also need to be able to snap off a photo within a minute. Those precious seconds it would take to zip and unzip can often mean the difference between getting just the right moment and getting the disappointing fallout of the moment. Nothing sucks worse than thinking 'man, if I could have only hit the shutter button 5 seconds sooner.' and this holster helps with that. If you're at all into nature shooting, street photography, or basically any field where you are trying to capture the spontaniety of the moment, this bag can help. Again, remember, it's not supposed to be a storage bag, it's supposed to be a holster.

Finally, I like the fact that you can either carry it by a shoulder strap, a handle or through a strap (ie you can run a messenger pag's strap through there, keeping you from having two separate shoulder straps. I guess in theory you could also wear it on a belt, though as light as it is, it'd still probably be too heavy for a belt).

It's a great, small, light, non bulky bag for when you want to, for instance, just take your dogs to the park without lugging around a big bulky suitcase. Sure, if you're somewhat serious about photography it probably won't be your only bag, but for beginner's it's a good first bag, and for more serious photographers, it's a welcome option for when you want less bulk and/or need constant lighting fast acces to your camera.

I bought this case for my Nikon D3100 because it looks to be a respectable size on the Amazon page. Unfortunately, this bag is much smaller than I anticipated! I would only purchase this bag for occasions that require one lens and no accessories beside a couple of memory cards. My D3100 is a tight fit with just the kit lens, and even then, I have to play around with the zippers to close up the case. If you're looking for a primary case to store your DSLR, this is not it. Look for something bigger! You'll be underwhelmed when you receive this one.

Tenba 638-341 Messenger Camera Bag (Black) Reviews

Tenba 638-341 Messenger Camera Bag
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

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.

When the bag arrived, my first thought was 'omg it's huge' for a girl. Very roomy with lots of compartments for accessories and personal items. Could fit in my 12.1" laptop as well. Material felt a bit thin but I guess that's what made it light. Removable padded compartments allowed me to use it w other large bags. Overall good but may be more suitable for men and pros. Hope to see more camera bags designed for women.

I've looked around photo and electronic stores and couldn't quite find anything that fit my G400 decently. This case however is made of quality leather and is reinforced to protect your camera. The inside has soft lining to protect the LCD display and it closes with a little velcro patch on the flap. The integrated belt clip seems to be a leather covered metal clip which looks pretty sturdy. The only downside is the lack of pockets for extra memory or battery.

... the belt clip is not that secure; in fact, just getting out of the car it popped off my waist band a few times. The case is compact and seems to reasonably protect the camera. However, when using the cam, i leave the case at home; I just pop the camera (G400, 4 mp) in my shirt pocket, and put the cord around my neck.

This is a whole lot quicker to access than from the case.

This is a nice backpack with lots of storage space and I even fit my 15.4" HP widescreen notebook although it is very tight and not designed to accomodate that size notebook. I do have a problem with the zippers around the main camera section. They are imbedded in the outer layering of the case and take a bit of work to get them zipped up. I also do not like the front section accessory compartment as it is also a bit tight to get into and the bottom section has another zipper section inside that I cannot even get my hand into. It has an outer setion for carrying other stuff that I really dont need. I would have liked them to instead left that off and allowed the front section to open all the way. I do like the main area storage space and can fit most of my lenses, 580 flash and hood covers fairly easily. When this is loaded with everything, it is pretty heavy but the shoulder & hip straps make it very comfortable. This is a great pack to haul your camera gear on a trip but kinda clumsy to work out of if your in a hurry. It has lots of smaller zipper compartments for lens caps, spare batteries, CF cards, and other small accessories. I have not yet figured a way to attach my manfrotto tripod though it does have strapping for it. Maybe I am not as smart as the bag :)

Overall, I am able to fit eveything I need for my camera, lenses & HP notebook into it with a little spare room left over for extra cords, wireless mouse & even a book.

First off, I never write product reviews. However, when I went in search of the perfect professional bag, I decided after months of looking, reading hundreds of reviews, and almost ordering a bag or two, a review was exactly what I needed to do. A little background: I'm 5'4'' & used to carry two lens, one external flash, one professional camera body and my emergency kit all in a 4 lb bag. The word "crafty" might come to mind. I knew when I upgraded my equipment I wanted the ability to house two camera bodies, two-three lenses, my external flash, diffuser, extra batteries and my emergency day of kit that I carry, & to be able to have everything in one place, for each and every wedding. I originally HATED the Jill E. The size, the styles, etc. Nothing seemed to fit me, except for the white & bone bag, that was out of my price range, because I knew, being a "scrappy" photographer, I was going to have the bag either ruined, or scuffed up in only a matter of a few events. My other biggest problem was the size issue. Nothing I read, saw, or had heard could describe to me exactly what the size was going to look like on me. I'm a small build, so I didn't want a bag to swallow me whole or be too heavy or uncomfortable. My original first pick, was to get a Kelly Moore, hobo style. I had swooned over the ability to zip or simply close the flap for easy access for months and then when they finally had a shipment in, I backed out. I watched the informational video & thought the bag just wouldn't work for me. It didn't seem deep enough, a lens might fall out, or I might not fully get the lens back in the bag, or might miss the opening. I think you get where I'm going, my equipment trumps the bag style. I looked into the expensive brands I have seen elsewhere, over the shoulder totes, and even totes that National Geographic endorses. Nothing seemed to fit me. Finally, I made up my mind & had my husband order the Jill E medium black bag for me. It was a little more than I had wanted to spend, it was a little bigger than I really wanted to get into, but when it arrived, it was love at first sight. The design is flawless. Truly. Not only is the leather soft to the touch, but the little velcro packs on the inner flap of the zipper are ingenious & easy to access to refill my flash with, there is a pocket for any need, even your cell phone. The inside is completely adjustable. Every flap inside is velcro, so when you get it, you can arrange it however you like. I can fit more than enough equipment inside. I comfortably house my d7000 + vertical grip, my extra d40x body, my 18-200 attached or separate, my 35 mm attached or separate, my sb-600, my diffuser, my cell phone, my wallet, and even a sweater, all within the main compartment. Don't be fooled, it is a deep bag. I could even keep a bottle of water, and some snacks inside, if need be. Outside, in the front two pockets I have my wedding day emergency kits, all safely closed with magnetic snaps. The back flap that is open to neatly houses any programs or paper for the day, and the side pockets are great for the cell phone, if I need quick access, but really, anything moderately slim will fit there. Weight wise, this was quite a step up for me. I think I could have sufficed with the small and still had a heck of a ton of room up in there, but I knew I wanted to go bigger, so all in all, I'm fairly glad a did. I do have a complaint about the size of the across the body strap. It was made for long torso people & thus the silver adjustment piece rubs on my collar bone & the bag sits right on my bum. Also on occasion the over the shoulder straps get caught on pews & whip me back till I unhook them. Many times I carry the bag all day, only to come home to a small back ache, but it is incredibly professionally looking & the complements I have received on it, have been wonderful. There is no doubt that I am the photographer in charge on the wedding day, and that I am overly prepared. My only advice is, if you are small framed, short torso, or aren't used to hauling around weight, just buy the small, I bet you can make it work however you imagine it to. For the price, and the style, which I ended up loving, I can confidently say, this was the best professional bag for the money. I hope to post a video review, just because the reviews I have seen, are not as informative, as I would hope for future buyers. Just little things here & there that go unnoticed, so check back if you still haven't made up your mind! Happy shooting!

I absolutely LOVE this bag. I purchased a Jo-Tote which I returned due to poor quality. I also pre-ordered a Kelly Moore bag, but after borrowing my friend's KM bag and putting them side by side for a comparison, I cancelled my pre-order. This bag is heaven. It is real leather and good quality to boot (neither of the other two referenced camera purses were real leather). It fits a ton of stuff inside and I am perplexed as to why the manufacturer refers to it as "medium" size. Also, I am crazy about the extra padding inserts you can put around the camera or lenses (they are not just dividers), numerous exterior pockets, matching wallet inside and the padded shoulder strap love them all!

I am using it as my daily purse so I can have my babies (Canon 5Dm2, 50mm/1.2L & 35/1.4L) with me all the time and I am loving it. I can't recommend this purse/bag enough.

Also, I was seconds away from purchasing it directly from the manufacturer's website and could not believe Amazon had it for seventy less and free shipping. KUDOS to Amazon!

UPDATE: I've had my bag with me every day for 2 weeks and still love it!

Everything is easily accessible by the full top zip and it's easy to carry either with the smaller or larger straps which both fit on my shoulder. The longer strap is one of the most durable and comfortable I've ever seen.

I also love how it looks more like a travel case than a camera bag it will sure make me feel more comfortable traveling with my equipment knowing that I can fit all my valuables in this carry on size.

Honest reviews on Jill-e 769381 Camera Leather Bag Medium (Black)

I've been using the bad now for several months and really love it. I can fit all my gear in it and it's super easy to put things in/take things out during a session. It's stylish and feminine. Before this bag I had a backpack and this is definitely much easier to use.

It seems to be made well I carry a lot of stuff and the bag is holding up great!

I love this bag. Just the right size for a camera, flash and a few lens. Cute bag for around town. Not a bag for a hiking trip (still need a backpack style bag for that type of trip) or traveling.

Perfect case for my Nikon D3000 Digital SLR camera. I don't have to worry about my camera getting banged around in my car anymore. The way it is padded inside, I just cut out the shape I needed for each piece for a perfect fit.

This case is as described except for the HUGE Polaroid tag on the side that the picture does NOT show.. Not in the picture, not in the description. I wouldn't have spent the time and money on this if I would have known. So disappointed. As for the case itself, I haven't even used it yet, but I have to since I am unable to get a new one before I need to use it.

This worked ok, but there was no way, even applied as directed to get every tiny microscopic bubble out. I bought it for the warranty as it was a tad on the expensive side. So far so good though. I have nothing to compare this to as I dont use the shields on anything else. I would love one my sons portable dvd player though, I must investigate!
