I bought this case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC SZ1 digital camera. The camera fits perfectly with room to spare for storing both an extra battery and a few memory cards in the mesh pocket (just be careful when you open the case because the storage pocket has no closure). Don't expect to see the thick, plush memory foam like in the picture. There is a thin layer of this foam on each side of the case. However, the case is rigid enough to sufficiently protect a camera in a bag and possibly even if dropped. I bought the green and I love the color. Overall, this is a very good case for the money. Highly recommended.

I've been looking for a rolling camera case, mostly on ebay. The tenba or other well known case products were 300 bucks and more for a similar product!

I was kinda skeptical of what I was going to get with a case this cheap but I decided to give it a try anyway. It came in the mail last night. It seems to be made well enough and the zippers are all heavy duty, the only place it might be a little lacking from a more expensive case is in the thickness of the padding on the sides and top and possibly a locking pull handle. The unit is built like a small softsided suitcase and comes with a bunch of velcro dividers, horizontal and vertical so you can set it up to your taste. This unit also has backpack straps so if you want to sling it on your back instead of rolling it behind you then that works too (although I would not want to stand in a crowd unless I locked the zippers together, too easy for someone just to unzip and grab my camera body or something). The unit has one pretty big pocket on the outside front (that has more smaller pockets and a key clip) and a small one on one side and what can only be a cell phone case, the other side has a tripod holder and there are straps that come around to secure the top (not just the zipper holds the top down) even more. The handle pops up and slides down when you don't want to use it (there is no release button it just slides). I wanted this for a plane trip in November, it'll just be easier to deal with a rolling case for carry on and I DO NOT want to check my beloved camera into the luggage compartment where it could be damaged or stolen (especially in a metal haliburton case that looks like what it is). The only slight issue I've noticed so far is that one of the wheels seems stiff, I'm going to load it up and roll it around to see if it loosens up or I can fix it myself. This bag has double wheels on both sides but they're the typical small rolling luggage wheels, i.e. don't bother trying to roll this in sand, it probably won't handle it well. So far I'm satisfied with what I got for the money, I'm sure that full retail these were probably sold for well over a hundred dollars if not more. The looks of this case does not "say" camera case to me, so in addition to the cheap price it has the advantage of not looking like what it is where an expensive Tenba or other well known camera case brand SCREAMS that it's sitting there with expensive camera gear inside. I'm satisfied with it, if I end up investing in a more expensive bag later it will still have many other uses.

update: I used this on my November trip, worked perfectly. Has the usual issues a bag with only wheels on the back has but it rolls well and no problems. I can see the differences in this and a 200 dollar bag, the long velcro dividers down the middle are too soft and the velcro not very strong, i.e. you have to put the bodies on the bottom of the bag or the weight will pull the long dividers away from the top of the bag. The sides of the expensive bags are also a LOT harder than what you get here. Overall, for what I paid this bag was worth it and it fit in the overhead and under the seat on the plane (at one point the Southwest stewardess threatened to force me to check it and I told her precisely what I thought about that idea) fortunately it fit under the seat as well as anyone else's bag and she backed off. For fourty bucks there's nothing wrong with this bag but if you're really concerned about protecting your gear it can't hold a candle to the much more expensive products.

Don't waste your money on this product. It is cheaply made and very flimsy. I bought this specifically to haul and protect my equipment on a photo trip to the Pacific Northwest. The insides are too soft and the bag doesn't hold it's shape. Before I boarded my first flight, the pull handle had pulled apart so I had to carry the bag, instead of pulling it, for the rest of my trip. The velcro didn't hold my equipment in place and one of the front pockets tore, I guess from shoving/pulling it in/out of the overhead compartment, even though I had nothing in the pocket. I would have ditched it then and there except I had no other means of carrying my equipment. Again, don't waste your money on this inferior product.

I wouldn't reccomend purchasing this case. The handle broke after less than 5 hours of use. I wasn't pulling anything unusually heavy but the extension part of the handle pulled all the way out and it won't catch when I put the piece back in. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to fix it so now it's just an uncomfortable backpack.

Honest reviews on Square Perfect Rolling Camera Case Backpack for Digital Photo

Rest assured you can "carry on" your camera gear and it will be protected with this bag on all the major airlines. The general airline carry-on size limit is 45" (H+W+D) and this measures in at 20"H (bottom of wheels to handle) x 16"W (w/o side pocket stuffed) x 8-12"D (with or w/o top pocket stuffed), so 44" easy. So many of the $300 price range roller backpack camera bags even fail to meet the 45" standard, and I just don't want to take the risk of noto being able to carry on my equipment on the plane with me. It's the size of a normal backpack, and comfy too to wear.

I bought this bag a couple of years ago on ebay for about $50 and it's been my best/most used camera bag. I can keep my small laptop (or netbook) in the top pocket, which also fits a regular "folder" as well just barely for model releases, travel notes, etc. If you have a larger laptop, you could probably fit it on top of your gear within a protective sleeve. I love the small top and side access pockets for accessories, cellphone, cards, batteries, business cards, pens, etc. The side straps also help compress the bag to keep things snug and tight.

Upside: You didn't spend $300 for a carry-on rolling camera backpack!

Downside: The padding is a little bit weaker/softer but it's definitely protective. I feel comfortable about it. The "lid" zipper ends just short of the end of the bag, so it doesn't naturally flip down 180 degrees w/o a little weight in it and flipping it back but as you can see in the picture it does.

For the price and the value received, this is definitely 5 stars!!!

When I received this product, I was sure that my camera was too large for it. I was actually surprised that my camera not only fit, but fit perfectly. It is a low-priced product, so there are no bells and whistles. No space for charger, adapter, extra memory cards, etc. Just the camera. It is sturdy enough to protect the camera, which is all I was looking for. I would have given 5 stars if the case had a clasp; I am not sure that the camera would stay in the case if it were dropped and the extra security would be nice. Overall I would recommend this case to owners of Samsung TL205 digital cameras.

This bag was shown with the camera we ordered where Amazon tries to get you to buy other compatible products by implying they go together (buy both for $XX.XX, as if it is a deal when it is almost always just the two prices combined with no savings). The implication is that the two (sometimes three) products go together. My husband bought the camera for me for Christmas and bought the bag because it was made to look like it would work with the camera. It doesn't. My camera is the Kodak Z1015 IS, which is not very big in any case. This bag is much too small for it. If you are looking for a bag, check the measurements of the camera and the bag. Don't assume it will fit just because Amazon implies they go together. Disappointed -not worth the cost of shipping it back, so we're just out the cost of the bag.

I just recently bought this bag, for one of my digital cameras.

I thought the price was good. until i actually saw the product.

it is a very dissapointing bag. It is way to small for most kodak cameras.

It is way to cheaply made and is now considered a gigantic rip off. they should be selling the bag at 6.00 dollars not 16.00 dollar. I am going to return the bag. I would not ever recommend this bag to anyone. Dont ever buy this bag.

Case was about what we expected for price (light weight, probably would not last long etc.), but it was for a child's camera and would work fine. They also were shipped to me within a few days of being ordered.

HOWEVER, the cases smelled very strongly of oil or something. My guess is that the vinyl was not properly cured or something like that. I left the cases outside for three days,and they still smelled. It was strong enough that I would be afraid of using it from a health standpoint. I asked to return them (at my expense). I got a return authorization and did mail them back. That was a few weeks ago. To my knowledge, the credit has not yet been posted to my account.

I got a Kodak Easy Share for my granddaughter, and needed a case for it. I chose this one mainly because it came with a shoulder strap, which considering she is only 3 it makes it easier for her to carry with her. She loves to take pictures of everything, so making sure she has a case that she can keep the camera close by in is important. It did have a oily smell when we first took it out of the package, but that has faded with use and time.

The front cover has to be completely on or else completely off. It does not swing down out of the way to allow you to take photos, and has to be stowed when the camera is in use. This detracts significantly from the overall convenience of the case.

I didn't know what to expect for $15 but I am exceedingly pleased with the quality and workmanship. It's well made and thought out. Extra points for the raised bump on the front of the case for placing of fingertips while taking pictures, it's an excellent and refined touch.

The only caveat is you have to take the case off to access the battery, usb port, memory card, etc. But that's an extra 40 seconds of unscrewing and screwing the case off and on. I think the best part of this case is that it is similar to the case on my father's old film camera so I know it's a time-tested and proven design.

The case is a great size for our Nikon P510. It fits the camera, a couple of straps, and all of the accessories no problem all without being too big and bulky. Our only complaint is that the strap is too short to be worn comfortably across your body. That was easily fixed by replacing the strap with a longer length of 1" nylon webbing we bought at the craft store.

I debated about getting this bag versus a smaller Jill-e and a more traditional camera bag. I am SO glad that I decided to go with this one! It offers a ton of room for my camera (a canon 50D), plus several lenses, battery grip, extra batteries, memory cards, cables, etc. There is even room for my "bag of tricks" that I take with me on kids portrait shoots. I love the fact that it also has a wallet/purse section for those types of items--I can get by without having to bring a purse. It is a little on the heavy side, but given how much it holds, and how stylish it is, I don't mind one bit.

I love this bag. First, the pink color is really attractive. It is not too bright and quite deep in color. The contrast between the pockets and leather makes it look high end. There are a couple of areas that could be improved, but overall a fantastic bag!

Areas to improve:

1. The magnets for the pockets could be stronger to keep the pockets closed. Sometimes they open up and flap around.

2. On the inside, you have the ability to move the velcro pieces around. However, it is tricky because the velcro is always catching on something and the male/female parts of the velcro are hard to figure out.

3. I just travelled with this bag and I kept it on top of my wheeled hand luggage. However, there was no way to keep it attached to wheeled luggage. It would have been great if they had a slip for attaching it to the handle of the wheeled luggage. This is a personal preference. With my lenses and camera the bag was heavy and I was grateful to keep it on the wheeled luggage. Now if I could just figure out how to keep it in place.

Hope this helps...

Best Deals for Jill-E Medium Leather Camera bag

I loved the concept of a pretty camera bag for my wife; however, when she received it, she could not fit everything she had in her sling bag into this Jill e Medium Camera bag. This bag was supposed to hold 2 camera bodies as well as numerous lenses and other miscellaneous items, but it does not. She only has one camera body and it is a tight fit with the lens and other items.

Another disadvantage is that the bag is so heavy it is difficult for her to carry.

If we could return it we would.

It is a really nice bag but doesn't hold a lot.

Amazon had the best price for this bag, as usual.

I'm always saying I wish I'd had my camera, so I wanted to find a bag that I could carry everywhere. By accident I ran across the Jill.e bags and wished I had found it before I bought a sling bag. I went ahead and splurged for this one and I'm so glad I did. It hold my camera and equipment as well as items I would normally carry in my purse. The leather is good quality and I have plenty of storage. It's easy to get into but everything is secure. No more do I say I wish I had my camera with me.

I would highly recommend this camera bag/back pack to both amateur and professional photographers. It is light enough, even when it is filled with heavy camera equipment, so as not to put a strain on your back. But it is also very "tough" and protects equipment. I have literally dropped the bag from the roof of a car and it completely protected the camera equipment. Plenty of room for a D7000, the standard 35-105 mm lens, a telephoto lens, and additional lens, a flash, not to mention additional carrying space for papers, digital media (DVD/CDs), etc. What is best is also the price!! You cannot go wrong with this bag.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This is the third bag I have bought in the last year and it is by far my favorite. No bag I have used is perfect but this one comes close. It offers the ease accessibility of my lowepro flipside, with the comfort and stability of a backpack. The size is just right for short trips that require minimal equipment. My Canon 50D, 200mm zoom, and 10-18mm wide angle, fit perfectly in the divided pouch, which is 100% customizable. The accessory pouch has plenty of room for a speed light, cables, chargers, batteries...while still allowing for some trail food. and my Camelback water pouch fits snugly in the back, which is insulated so the water stays cool. This bag seems very well designed. It is extremely comfortable and seems to be made of high quality materials. I suspect I will have this bag for years to come.

Complaints: The divider between the two main pouches isn't very stiff and tends to collapse inward. This is really only a problem when the bag isn't full. The bottom zip pocket is really only deep enough to hold things like memory cards, yet it is as wide as the entire bag, this makes it relatively useless, a deeper more versatile side or top pocket would have been preferable.

I bought this before going to Arizona for a couple of weeks. I wanted something for my small slr (Sony A55), with a telephoto (Sigma 17-50 fat lens) small prime lens, filters, compact tripod, water, snack, wallet, GPS, etc. It's perfect! It has so many nice features, is so well thought out and is just the right size and is incredibly comfortable. Plus in the Grey it looks so much nicer than the black ones. I wore it on a number of hikes but it was equally at home in town walking around Scottsdale and such. It was never hot because it does a good job of staying off your back. The price is a bit ridiculous but I was willing to pay it because it truly is perfect for what I was looking for I don't think I'd change a thing it's not often you can say that. Only thing is make sure you check that the camera compartment wil be big enough for what you expect to carry. It's not big so for some it may be too small.

Great tight backpack. I use it for walking around and for long long mountain bike excursions. My kit w/this bag = camera + lens attached, 1 additional lens, 1 canon speedlite, 1 extra battery, 1 cleaning kit, extra cards, and a small tripod. If I want to bring a bigger lens its nice that the lower pocket will take a lens like the 70-200 2.8ii or even the 100-400 (cannon). Note that the Hydration pack does not come with this bag..must be bought seperately. In any event...Awesome bag and very comfortable to boot

All the products in this kit were just what I wanted, except for the camera bag. In all fairness, the bag has lots of good pockets and seemed convenient, with its adjustable separators. When I actually used the bag, however, I found the plastic buckles were too hard for me to open, especially outdoors in cooler weather. I am 74 and my grip is not nearly as strong as it used to be a younger person would likely not find this to be a problem. While the shoulder strap is attached to the side, the shorter handles are attached to the 'lid' so the buckles have to be closed in order to carry the bag that way. I actually had to have my husband carry it and open it for me every time I wanted to switch to a different lens, a filter, etc. Hence I did not have fast access to changing lenses, filters, and such for my new Canon Ti4. As a result, I lost some photo opportunities. Also I was often stuck holding the lens cap, trying to find a handy place to put it when I wanted to take a picture, e.g. of flying seagulls.

I have since purchased a Case Logic camera bag which was clearly designed by someone with 'user experience'. The case is a little on the small side, and does not hold everything I need comfortably. But it is easy for me to deal with the zips, and the velcro closure on the separate protective camera case which comes with the bag. The very lightweight, separate camera case drops into the center compartment of the bag, has a pocket for the lens cap, and attaches to the camera strap so that it is quick to take the camera out thereby leaving the small case dangling from the camera strap while shooting. The whole camera bag also has a plastic protective base, so it is safe put it down on the ground, wet or dry. Yes, I realize that this is not a review of a Case Logic camera bag, but I just wanted to point out some of the more useful features that camera bags could have!

The tripod is sturdy, and collapses easily into a convenient carry mode. I tested the remote, and was happy to find that I can hold it close to the camera and it still works. This is useful when my camera is on its tripod and I want to take a picture of our resident red squirrel in the backyard, without going outside or risking camera shake.

It is always a good idea to have a spare battery charged up.

I don't really have any comments on the filters or lens hood.

The little carrying case for SD cards is useful and gives good protection where it is needed.

All in all, an excellent kit. I priced the items separately, and this kit is very definitely good value. I would rate it with 5 stars if the camera case had a different closure system.
