When i unpacked and examined this thing, I just couldn't believe it would work. So I tested it as follows: (1) Sat it in the shower for 10 minutes; (2) Floated in a tub of water for 30 minutes; and (3) Held it underwater for 2 minutes. The only water that got in were a couple of stray drops that fell in when I opened the bag and some condensation that accumulated from the cold shower. For this reason I would recommend sealing any electronic gear in a ziplok bag for extra protection.

The bag comes with a foam sleeve that is large enough for any size point-and-shoot camera (I tested it with a dead Canon PowerShot S2is), but not a full-size DSLR. The camera and sleeve easily fit into a quart size bag.

On the negative side, the bag has no handle nor attachment points for a shoulder strap. It does come a belt that could be used as such, or to turn it into a waist pack but it's an awkward arrangement. That's basically why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

The case looks solidly built, and fits my Canon S95 snugly. I'm very satisfied with the ergonomics. One small flaw: The velcro strap within the case that holds the camera in place is not quite long enough to fit comfortably across the camera; it will just about strap in, but half an inch more and it'd be much more secure. This isn't a major problem, since the case itself wraps around the camera just fine.

The seller (PCMicroStore) shipped quite promptly, and even included a free small black tripod with the order, which was a nice touch.

Once I received this case, I was so pleased to see how beautiful it really is. I was looking for something "young" and "fun" for my 12 year old daughter to carry around. It is basically a hard case covered in fabric and lined inside, but its design and color are so out of the ordinary, and my daughter's little camera fits in it perfectly.

Review of Crumpler Haven Camera Bag (L) HVN001-X06G60 - Black/Grey

Crumpler Haven Camera Bag HVN001-X06G60 - Black/Grey
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Crumpler bags are well made and thoughtfully designed so I figured their inserts had a good chance of the same. And, indeed, the Haven is well made, attractive and thoughtfully designed for its stated purpose. It's as if Crumpler designers actually test and use their designs for photography! I use my Haven in a medium Timbuk2 Classic Messenger and it fits perfectly with room outside the Haven for a water bottle, light jacket, iPad, etc.

One of things that distinguish the Haven from standard inserts is it is a fully padded self-contained unit with side pockets for CF cards, filters, USB cables, etc., and a draw string to close the top. So it's easy to transfer your camera gear and small accessories without digging through the pockets of the host bag. When I travel on an airliner, I close the top and toss the Haven in a backpack or suitcase, and use my Timbuk2 bag for other things.

The Amazon image of the gray Haven isn't very telling but the interior is lined with dayglow green brushed cloth and includes 3 rigid velcro equipped dividers. I'm not a fan of dayglow colors but it makes it easy to see inside. The dividers are covered in the same soft cloth as the lining but are not padded. The two main dividers act like pillars and have hinged wings which may be used to support a top-loaded camera with lens mounted and pointed down. And, because the divider are rigid, they don't collapse under the weight of the camera. The third smaller divider may be used to further divide a space, e.g., place between stacked lenses. My Canon 5D2 with mounted 24-105 4L IS USM fits well with room to spare for a Speedlite and/or small prime or zoom. If you prefer to stow your camera without lens mounted, you can bend the wings up and use them to protect tall items stored in the side spaces. You can squeeze in more gear with the lens removed: my EF 70-200 4L IS USM, 24-105 4L IS USM and 5D2 fit without a whimper. However, I prefer my camera ready-to-go with a mounted lens so I don't make the most efficient use of the space. The interior space is roughly equal to that of my Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home.

I can't think of any serious cons, although I'd prefer a more neutral interior color. The ultra tough and waterproof exterior fabric is probably overkill for most users but may prove useful if the Haven falls out of your bag or gets left out in the rain. All in all, an attractive and well designed and constructed insert, perfect for photogs wishing to travel incognito with a standard messenger bag or backpack. I'd give it 5 stars but it's a bit too pricy so I docked it one. However, for the extra bread you do get a much better insert than most out there.

I have to start off by explaining my love-hate relationship with Crumpler. They are easily the most progressive, thoughtful bag maker out there. Their products are beautiful to look at, and nearly every detail has been well thought out. I fall in love with their bags online. Yet, there is ALWAYS some little detail that causes me to return my purchase. For instance, their camera backpacks are beautifully constructed, yet the sides curve in such a way to reduce the functional capacity just below my needs.

This insert is VERY well constructed (like everything made by Crumpler). The lining is tightly woven and not covered in small fuzz that I worry will eventually wind up inside my camera. The dividers are nicely stiff and their velcro is exceptionally grippy. It makes this bag very easy to customize to your liking. And, it comes with 3 dividers. Two flap styled for holding an SLR in place with a lens attached. And, the third is a flat that could be used to create floor under a lens to store filters, etc.

If you are not carrying a big of a load, say an APS-C with a standard sized lens or two, then this is DEFINITELY your bag insert. Buy it, and you will love it for sure. It makes for a well-protected, but inconspicuous way to carry your camera around. It will make you far less of a target for unwanted attention from thieves and other undesirables.

I carry a Canon 5D Mark III, with a Canon 24-105 f/4 L in place. And, if I Feng Shui things just right with the lens against the left side of the bag, and the flap divider sitting under the grip side. I can fit my 17-40 f/4 L with it's lens hood in place reversed. And this still leaves an awkward space for other accessories or even perhaps a small prime.

Generally, my preference is to carry my camera with the lens in the bag center and stabilized with a lens or speedlight on either side. The balance feels better this way. But, as this is an insert for my backpack, this might be less of a consideration.

I can even fit my Canon 70-200 f/4 IS L instead of the 17-40 but, not both. There is no room for accessories in this configuration. (See my photos.)

I just wish this were 5% larger. It would still fit inside my backpack, but it would make it slightly more functional for me. The build quality is so high, it makes up for the size short comings. I hope they make an XL soon. 4 stars for me personally. 5 stars for an APS-C shooter.

This is the perfect little gear bag, although, it is smaller than I expected. It barely fits my Canon 7D body, stock lens attached, macro and zoom lenses. Pockets on the outside are great, perfect for holding odds and ends and the material is nice and stretchy, so easy to use.

Would have been a 5 star rating if it had just been a bit bigger.

Honest reviews on Crumpler Haven Camera Bag (L) HVN001-X06G60 - Black/Grey

Great design! I'm able to fit a 7D with a 17-55 f/2.8 lens attached, and a 70-200 f/4 lens in this bag with the top cinched completely down. I can also comfortably stack a 50mm f/1.4 and a 1.4x Extender II on top of all of that, and cinch the top around those, securing them snugly. That entire package is about 12" tall, which is very compact for that much gear, and allows me a lot of remaining space in my backpack.

With the width of the 7D, the 70-200 is directly in contact with the body, so I slip the telephoto in a neoprene sleeve (the kind used to insulate a nalgene bottle), and that provides a generous cushion. The padding on the Haven is excellent--I have no concerns about my gear being damaged in a backpack if I take some normal precautions with packing the rest of my gear, and not dropping the pack.

Two of the pockets are designed for SD cards, not for CF cards. I can't wedge a CF card in. The other three pockets are very handy. The middle lower pocket fits a spare battery nicely.

It's not a cheap insert, but it's not cheaply made either, and it's protecting more than 50x its cost in gear, so it's well worth it. Aside from allowing me to sling more than just camera gear on my back, it's nice to carry around a generic backpack rather than a camera-specific bag that advertises what I'm carrying.

Never seemed to find the good camera bag. Too big, too small, too heavy, too fragile, not appropriated, not enough this, not enough that...

And then: Tatatan ! This pouch appeared to my astonished eyes.

It fits every bag (camera or not) i have, contains up to a Canon 70-200 f/2,8, protects my gear in every situation, even on a motorcycle, can be taken every where i go, the small pockets on the front side are very handy, the built quality is excellent, the red colour inside allows to find instantaneously what you're looking for.

Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro Review

Lowepro LP36353-PAM Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I just came back from a 4 day trip to Zion National Park with the Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW Backpack Black. I own many camera bags including one from Lowepro (Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW) but none of them fit my needs for my camping trip. I wanted a bag that (1) provided a padded easy-access compartment to hold my Canon 7D with 1-2 extra lenses and extra battery/memory card, (2) had extra room for food and extra clothing, (3) was comfortable especially for long hikes, (4) had room for a hydration pouch, and (5) featured rain or water protection. This backpack had all of these!

Camera Compartment:

I thought of using one of my normal backpacks for the trip but I did not want to risk my gear bouncing around inside. I was extremely impressed with the camera compartment. It was padded all around and was separate from the rest of the bag. The compartment also opens from the side which allowed quick access. I did not want to bring my full camera gear on this trip; I just wanted to bring my essential zoom lenses to get scenery and action shorts of my family. It fit my Canon 7D with 17-55mm f/2.8 and 70-300mm f/4-5.6L with hoods attached snugly.

Stuff Compartment:

Above the camera compartment was a large open space to store whatever I needed for the day. This part of the bag opened with a cinch cord on the top and had a small zippered compartment inside. I managed to fit 2 windbreakers, snacks/granola bars, 4 juice boxes, 4 sandwiches, 2 extra water bottles, and extra memory card/battery with some extra room to spare. The top pouch which covers the stuff compartment features a zipper pouch for quick access. I stored a multitool, 3 sunglasses, cellphone, keys, and a flashlight in there with room to spare.

Everything Else:

The compartment for the hydration pack was extremely convenient; I fit my 70oz CamelBak into there which lasted me the whole day. The compartment is also quite large so I can see someone fitting in a small (no bigger than 13") laptop, netbook, or tablet into there. The shoulder straps were comfortable and did not strain me out like normal backpacks. The side waist straps kept the back from bouncing side to side and also had small pouches where I fit a sunblock bottle and my Canon S95. The back padding was adequate and had channels so your back does not get too sweaty. The internal frame kept the bag sturdy and helped with support. The rain cover tucks inconspicuously on the bottom of the pack and was useful when we hiked along a chest high river in the Narrows (if you go to Zion check this trail out). There is a tight front pouch where I managed to store a towel and a pair of sandals and a water bottle pouch on the opposite side of the camera compartment opening which fit my 1 liter aluminum water bottle easily.

Pros:

Lightweight and secure on the body

I am 5'11" and the bag sat well on my shoulders. I went on a 8 hour hike and did not notice the bag at all.

Padded camera compartment

Extra room for other gear/food/misc items

Hydration compartment

Rain cover

Does not look like a typical camera bag!

Cons:

I wish the bag was a bit larger horizontally. I would have loved to bring my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II but it did not fit without bulging out the other side.

You have to provide your own or buy a hydration bladder

This backpack served me well for my hiking daytrips; it offered everything I needed in a camera/hiking backpack hybrid. It is NOT a store-all carry-all type of camera bag such as the Photo Trekker series from Lowepro. This bag lets you carry the essentials for a daytrip and a DSLR with 1-2 lenses.

I got this bag a few weeks ago and have been mountain biking a couple times a week with it since. As always, Lowepro has made another great bag. This is basically a day pack with a camera holder in the side. The new cinch mechanism seems to work pretty well to keep the camera in one spot. I have a Nikon D3100 right at the moment (waiting on my D7000 to get here) and it fits fine with a 55-300mm lens on it with space for another lens or flash. I have no doubt that my new camera will fit just fine with the same lens. I have been able to stick a small, lightweight tripod in the side that has the bottle holder, but I wouldnt recommend doing that to often to the strechy fabric bottle holder. If you were hiking, you could also strap it underneath. Nothing to heavy though. Another plus is that other than the Lowepro label, it does not look like a camera bag.

I will try not to cover stuff in other reviews, but here is a couple of minor things I didnt know before I bought it:

1.The stuff sack at the top actually goes all the way to the bottom of the bag around the camera case. This is great and not great. Great because you can put stuff down there; not great for keeping medium size things in the larger compartment without them sliding to the bottom. This can be fixed by pulling the outside cinch straps tight. If I had a choice, I would leave it the way it is. It turns out that an Adventura 120 bag (maybe even a 140) fits perfectly in the top part of the stuff sack, so I took all my little parts, flash and extra lens and put them in that in the top of the stuff sack of the 200AW. When I go mountain biking, I just take it out and go.

2. A hydration bladder does not come with it. There is a place for one up to 70oz with a nice hole for the hose. I put an old Camelback bladder in and it works fine although the bottom next to the camera case is a little tight. With no bladder, you could also put a small laptop in this section if you needed to.

3. The waist straps do not fold in to anything to hide them when not in use. Once again it is fine with me but I could see them being a minor inconvenience while traveling. The waist straps actually work very well for me. I was able to put most of the weight on me hips which surprised me. The aluminum stiffeners work pretty well.

Aside these minor things it is a great bag for the active person, especially for the price. It isn't made for holding all of your camera equipment. It is however made for taking your camera and some equipment somewhere where the view is great in comfort and style.

Best Deals for Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro

I felt the need to write a review of what is now my favorite camera bag. I've looked for a very long time for one that met all my requirements, and this one fits the bill. To summarize what I've been looking for:

1. Quick access to camera

2. Backpack-style for hiking/biking

3. Water access

4. Space for other items other than camera

5. Light

6. Waist and sternum straps

* There is a frame to the back panel of the pack separating the water compartment from the padded camera compartment, giving the backpack some vertical shape/structure.

* As previously mentioned by another reviewer, I fit a 70oz. Camelback bladder into the water compartment of the pack without a problem there is some tightness at the bottom of the pack where the padded camera compartment bumps up against, but if you leave room in the water bladder to adjust the shape, it's not a big deal.

* I've found the waist belt to be a very valuable feature. My typical use case: I'm on a mountain bike and see something I want to photograph. I'll get off my bike, take my right shoulder strap off, swing my backpack around my left side while still attached to the waist strap, and quickly pull out camera.

* The camera compartment is nicely-sized for my needs. I shoot with a Canon 5D mk II and have attached the stock 24-105 lens. If I wanted to, inside the padded compartment, I can place a 580EXII in there with no problem. That side compartment has enough give where instead of a flash, I could fit my 70-200 F/2.8 IS II lens in there as well. Admittedly, with the 70-200 in there, the backpack bulges out a little bit, but it fits snugly. I found that with the 5D mk II, I didn't have to cinch up the camera compartment. I could pull the padded cover down, zip up the backpack cover, and not worry about my camera spilling out or anything. I value speed over snugness and whereas I might get a little more snugness out of using the padded compartment's drawstring, I get a lot of speed out of not using it.

* There are compression straps that allow you to attach either a throw or a fleece underneath the pack I found that I could attach a Gitzo Series 1 traveler tripod underneath the pack with very little fuss.

* One mini-gripe the construction doesn't actually feel like a Lowepro bag. For the target market, the fabrics used are very light which is great, and there's double/triple stitching in places that would potentially be break points, but a little more padding around the shoulders might be nice. That said, I don't REALLY have a problem with the straps.

* Found the larger non-camera compartment very useful for carrying snacks, a replacement bike tube, and tools. Also as previously noted, it's great that the compartment reaches all the way down to the bottom of the bag, but could be a little frustrating as well since you'd have to reach your hand down the top and around the padded compartment to reach items that may have fallen down there.

* There's the top cover over the large non-padded compartment that is zippered and that will store things like keys or protein bars.

* Also, as a sense of space, when I'm not taking it outdoors in the wilderness, I pack the water compartment with an iPad 2 which fits very nicely.

The one mini-gripe aside, this is by far my favorite camera bag for hiking and mountain biking. I would give it 4.75 stars if I could, taking it a smidgen down for what I thought could be studier build quality, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means.

Honest reviews on Photo Sport 200 All Weather Camera Pack by Lowepro

I've owned a lot of camera packs, and my quest for the perfect pack is still in process. This one, so far anyhow, has been my favorite. It swallows a lot of gear for it's size. I easily carry my Nikon D300 with a wide angle zoom lens attached, an 18-200mm zoom along side it in the adjacent compartment as well as a fixed 50mm lens. The top section easily holds my two speedlights (one is the large SB900) as well as other gear. Unfortunately, after my first week excursion with it the carry handle between the shoulder straps tore loose causing me to obtain a replacement pack that will shortly be put to the test on two overseas trips in the bush.

I've owned GoLite backpacks, and to me this product appears to have had strong influence from that company. It's comfortable, light, and secure. First impressions? Appears to be a winner for the money for certain.

Although I would have liked the size of the pack to be a little larger, it was well within what I expected so I give it a full rating for the sizing. The rest of the pack was also what I expected from Lowepro (very well made and functional, especially the rain cover that is found at the bottom of the pack!). However, I have a big issue with what I feel is a major design flaw: the upper compartment is not sealed from the lower section of the bag so just about anything you put in this compartment will eventually find its way down the side of the bag and to the bottom, below the camera compartment. I had placed a rain jacket/shell in the upper compartment and this quickly went to the bottom of the pack; a pack of gum, extra battery or anything of this size will undoubtedly make its way down. I was hoping to put an extra lens in the upper compartment but this too made its way down and given its weight, ended up at the very bottom where there is absolutely no protection or cushioning. So basically, this upper compartment is almost useless unless you seal it off from the lower section of the pack by using an insert or sewing it shut yourself. The rest of the pack is fine so I will not return the item as I am sure I'll be able to find or make an insert...

SIZE:

This bag is the perfect size for carrying a crop sensor camera with two small zoom lenses.

The equipment I carry in my bag:

Camera: T2i (550D)

Lens 1: Sigma 17-50mm with hood on backwards (attached to camera)

Lens 2: Canon 10-22mm

Its a perfect fit, no extra room and unfortunately no room for my Canon 10-22mm hood which is pretty big.

The 10-22mm hood can fit in the smaller pouch but I use the pouch to carry two 77mm filter cases.

DESIGN:

The strap is a lot more comfortable then it looks.

The material feels quality and the zippers are solid and smooth.

Theres around a quarter inch of cushion all around to protect your gear.

There is however, one serious design flaw that makes me want to give this product three stars. Do you see the two layers of material used for the cover? The gray textured cloth on the top and the black plastic underneath? Those two layers are only attach by velcro, the same amount of velcro used to attach the black plastic to the body. So you basically have to remove three covers to open your bag. 1. The gray textured cloth by velcro, 2. The black plastic by velcro, 3. Another gray textured cloth by zipper.

Yes, you can simply pull up from the black plastic to save yourself a step, but that makes that leather strap useless since its attached to the gray cloth. I wrongly assumed that the strap was so I can quickly pull off the cover, but it appears its just for the logo. I am considering stitching the two layers together.

No, you can't put anything inside those two covers. A ton of wasted space in my opinion. You could have used that extra space to put filters, papers, SD cards, battery chargers, etc. But nope, its useless.

Overall I'm happy with it because of the material quality and the size.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

After a week of using a case that was too large for the Sony HX1, I finally broke down and purchased this case. I'm happy to say this is very close to being the perfect carry around case for me. I wanted something that could protect the camera while the strap is either around my neck or shoulder, but also let me access the camera quickly so I can take some shots right away. This case does that. Here are my pros and cons after carrying it around a few days:

Pros

Nice hard shell with a leather-like soft skin (real leather? Not sure)

Clam shell design with magnets that keep lid closed make it easy to access the camera

I like using the neck strap to carry the camera around instead of a separate bag strap

Fits the HX1 perfectly (it should since its specifically made for it)

Very elegant looking

Battery pouch is a nice touch

A loop secures the case to your neck strap so it won't fall when you whip out the camera for action shots

Cons

I wish there was another pocket to carry extra memory cards

The belt loop is okay, but neither of the ends can be detached. Belt loops are so much handier when you can just snap it around your belt and then snap it off without having to take off your belt

There is no space for anything other than your camera so you'll need something else to store your battery charger and cables

The instructions that come with the case recommend you use this case with the neck strap over one shoulder. The neck strap that comes with the HX1 is a bit short to make that perfectly comfortable for me, but luckily I had already bought a larger OP/Tech neck strap that lets the case hang at the perfect level for me to grab quickly. You can certainly still use the case with the camera around your neck if that is your preference.

I'm very happy with this case. It makes me want to take the HX1 to even more places.

The case is made for this camera but the two problems I see are that it is very bulky and difficult to get the camera in and out quickly, and the second is the small strap that you snap around the shoulder strap to hold the case to the camera (which is only good if you are going to carry the camera around and not use it as much, storage to traveling). This little strap almost caused me to drop the camera a few times because I was quickly taking the camera out to take a pictures and I forgot the strap was attached and it was dangling off the shoulder strap and it is quite heavy and awkward. Overall it's a great case to protect the camera with, I just which the design was better.

This is a good quality case if you're simply using it to store your camera while not in use. I returned it because it cannot fit the camera and the neck strap without interfering with the lid closing right the little magnet they have embedded in the case isn't strong enough if anything inside is putting resistance on it closing.

Honest reviews on Sony LCS-HE Soft Carrying Case for DSC-HX1

I took this case with me for my HX1 to Hawaii this summer and it worked great. Yes it does not carry anything extra other than the camera, but if you're the type to keep the strap around your neck then you shouldn't have any issues with this case. If you hook the strap up to the loop you can take your camera out of the case for quick use easily w/o dropping the case. The belt loop case for an extra battery is great if you plan on going through the camera supplied battery in a day or dont' have anywhere to recharge but its not really necessary for the casual amateur who can recharge overnight. I gave it four stars instead of 5 though b/c on occaision the case can get in the way if you are rushing a shot or you are using the camera supplied strap over your shoulder instead of neck. Its not the most convienent case sometimes but it gets the job done.

The case is fine and does what it's supposed to do; protect the camera. The directions suggest looping the camera's neck strap through it. Therefore, it's a bit awkward to have the case hanging on your neck strap, but also see the logic...you do not run the risk of dropping it. Having the attached spare battery attachment is great. There is NO room for anything else in the case. The camera fit is "snug" and is somewhat difficult getting the camera out of it quickly. It's a good investment to protect your Sony DSC-HX1.

This case is made with very high quality materials and constructed very well. It compliments the camera perfectly for style and function. It features a low profile belt loop and allows access to the camera vertically. Hands down, the best case for this wonderful camera and it's available here for the best price to boot.

This great case hangs vertically on one's belt instead of laterally (Horizontal), taking less space. Now I need another because I bought a similarly sized camera for my wife and I can't get my case back.

MADE Rubberized Camera Armor Case (Black) for Canon Rebel XSi/ XS Review

MADE Rubberized Camera Armor Case for Canon Rebel XSi/ XS/ T1i Digital SLR Camera + LP-E5 Battery & Charger + Accessory Kit
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
The MADE Rubberized Camera Armor Kit offers a perfect blend of good accessories, such as two spare batteries; mini Charger; LCD screen protectors; and the 6-piece lens & camera cleaning kit.

However, our Canon Rebel T1i would not fit comfortably within the armor; it appears the measurements are not an exact match to the camera.

As other reviewers stated the rubber case is not worth the effort. Not bad if you never want to change lens or use a tripod. By the time you change the lens the shot you want is gone. The product was shipped in the time listed, and arrived in good shape.

This kit comes with 2 batteries and a car charger that plugs into the cigarate lighter in the car. The problem is that the batteries don't fit the car charger. So the car charger is completely useless to me.

The camera case is bulky and I have never used it. I bought it thinking it would fit my camera much better than it did.

Reviews of Pink Kroo Digital Camera EVA Case for Canon PowerShot SD 1300

Pink Kroo Digital Camera EVA Case for Canon PowerShot SD 1300 SD3500 SD1200 S...
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this to go with a Powershot SD1300 in pink, as it seemed like a great case to carry it around in. However, you could comfortably fit 3 or 4 of these cameras in it, which makes it way too big to carry around in a packet or small purse.

If having this big lump of a case does not bother you, then it seems well enough made for the price. We have not really stressed it much because it stays home as it is too darn big!

Just as the title says. I've had this case for over two years and it's still in fair condition. It is also nice to look at because it's pink! Not a bad buy for the price but in the future I'll opt for something thinner.

This case is big, it's not sized right. My camera was listed as one of the cameras it fits but it is way too big for it. I can fit two of my cameras in the case and it takes up so much room in my purse. I don't even use it and I regret buying it.

Honest reviews on Pink Kroo Digital Camera EVA Case for Canon PowerShot SD 1300

This case is quite well padded and should protect the camera from the average fall. It has a clip for belt use, and securing straps inside for the camera. Not quite as vibrant pink as the screen shows me, but that's fine. I'd rate it AA++ for the price point, securely packed. Dan

Bought this case for my canon powershot. Cute and durable, very light weight. Drop my camera in this a couple of times and it kept it safe (no damage to the camera).

Reviews of Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini

Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini Camera Bag
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
With the standard 18-55mm (non-VR) kit lens + filter my Nikon D40 fits snugly inside. The construction is what you'd expect from LowePro, bulletproof and well-padded. With minor effort, the charger fits in the outer pocket. This case works well either over-the-shoulder or on a belt or backpack loop.

Note: If the lens was more than 1/2" longer this case probably wouldn't work.

This bag is the perfect "small" bag for carrying just the essentials around. I would highly recommend it for someone that does not have a lot of accessories and wants to travel light.

This camera bag allows you to take full advantage of the compact size of the Nikon D40. It is small and comfortable to take with you anywhere, and it's very easy to access due to the topload design. It fits the Nikon D40 with the 18-55mm lens perfectly.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini

I have a Canon Xs with the kit lens. I like the bag very much. It fits perfectly and it's easy to carry around. It probably won't work with longer lenses, but I am a complete beginner, so I plan to work with the kit lens for a while. I like the size that it's not too bulky, and you can still bring all the batteries, memory card and even a brush pen in the bag. I like the color because as a girl, I don't want anything associated with my camera black. It has nice padding all around, so I suppose it helps protect the camera. However, I dropped my camera on the ground, lens facing down, and the lens broke immediately. (the body is functional thhough) So I guess the bottom line is, it's a good bag but it does not shield the camera from carelessness.
