First of all, I disagree with the reviewer who panned these because the flap closes inward. That is exactly as it should be to prevent it from snagging and being opened unintentionally. Access is very easy and any slowdown due to this configuration would have to be measured in milliseconds.

I replaced the strap that came with my Nikon D5100 with a heftier one that is 1.5 inches wide. These pouches fit fine, but it did take some effort to maneuver the buckle through it. The D5100 remote came with its own chintzy sleeve, so I'm using one of these for SD cards and the other for the remote. I decided to also order the battery version of this pouch OP/TECH USA 4701202 Battery Holster Black to keep a spare in. The D5100 battery measures 2" x 1.5" x 0.5" and fits comfortably, though snugly in these media pouches, so I wouldn't get them for anything larger. Since the battery version of this pouch sells for the same price, but only as a single pack, I assumed that it's probably somewhat larger, so I ordered it. Not so. The "media" and "battery" versions are 100% identical, except that the latter is renamed and sells for twice the price.

So if you need anything larger than the media pouches, forget the battery version and look elsewhere. I recommend these, but don't be duped into buying the others at double the price. 5-stars minus one for deceptively marketing the other option.

It took just the right search terms to find these thingsI couldn't imagine nobody had created this, but it took me a while to find them. They are exactly what I wantedneoprene and small. One holds my backup SD cardI always worry that I will leave my SD card in the computer and run out the door without one, so have been wanting this to keep one permanently in there. I can get the SD card in its case AND my 46mm lens cap in one, and I can get the backup battery for my PEN digital camera in the other. I sort of disagree with the gentleman who thinks the opening should face outthe flap is easy to reach and will keep something from accidentally pulling up the flap and you losing something. So I personally think the flap facing in is a good thing.

The worst thing about these is that you have to unthread and rethread the camera strap. Arrrggghhthat is always difficult for me. But you def want them on there that way so they don't fall off.

I no longer have to worry about taking my bag or leaving the two most essential backup items for my camera.

The Op/Tech media pouch could have been a great product, but something isn't quite right with it.

The materials are fine and so is the build quality: one side is neoprene, the other velcro, and everything holds up nicely. The velcro face has both the loop (through which the camera strap is threaded) and the flap to the little compartment that holds the spare media card or battery.

Herein lies the pouch's flaw: the loop and the flap should be on opposite sides, not on the same one. Its current construction makes it difficult to quickly open the flap and grab the card or battery because the camera strap gets in the way every single time. Furthermore, there's a whole lot of velcro there, which makes everything stick.

The result: this simple task turns into a two-handed operation, sometimes demanding that the camera be put down. This sort of defeats the media pouch's purpose, doesn't it?

One final detail: the pouch is awfully tight for the Olympus BLM-1 battery (for the E-5xx and E-30).

I love the concept, but the final product leaves something to be desired. Or designed.

Honest reviews on OP/TECH USA Media Holsters

I ordered this product knowing it would be handy and in truth its a great idea. I also ordered the matching batterey holder too. Both arrived both are sold by same company. But the batterey holder is made in the USA and the card holder is made in China. The quality control in China is sadly lacking. The straps where the velcro are adheared too are too short thus keeping you from getting a secure fit and in addition the quality of the velcro must be less as well because they dont stick well. Returning as junk. In fact the batterey holder is only slightly larger then a card holder so why have both it will easily work as a card holder too. Make them all in the USA if you can. If you can do one you can do both here.

I was concerned that these would not work due to the negative reviews. This is not the case. The strap/belt loop is stitched in so you have to thread your strap through it, which will prevent it from releasing from the strap. There are also complaints that the flap closes towards the strap. I personally like this, since there is less chance that you will snag the flap on something. And for me personally, it is easier to open and pull the contents out if it is facing towards you.

Update: I have put these on two of my cameras one being the G15 (great compact camera btw), which I normally take with me everywhere on a quick disconnecting neck lanyard. These media holsters are small, durable and most important lightweight, which is important if you are wearing a camera around your neck all day. I am going to order two more.

Cheap Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 Bag for Medium Size Mirrorless Body

Customer Ratings:

After crossing over into micro 4/3rd territory last year, I needed a bag to better accommodate my growing lens collection, or rather allow me to take a good selection of lenses with me when I want/need more than the bare minimum. While researching I was surprised to see that there are hardly any bags out there that are designed for MFT or compact system cameras. Most bags are too high and 'swallow' the small camera and lenses apart from the fact that they are then bulky to take along, with a lot of dead, wasted space.

So I was excited to find the Think Tank Mover 20, designed for mirrorless cameras, and here are my comments in no particular order:

PROs:

Size: A very compact yet spacious bag. The dimensions, especially height-wise, are perfect for probably most if not all mirrorless cameras.

Weight: Light-weight and not too heavy even fully loaded.

Materials: This seems to be a very well-made bag. The seams all look good, the magnetic flap is strong enough to hold even when the zipper underneath is unzipped and one carries the bag by its handle. On occasion I had it happen that it didn't hold, but that was usually when I loaded the bag to the max. The rings and swiveling carabiners are metal, and the strap looks well-made as well (Please see Cons for a few other observations).

Sufficient compartments to store a lot of stuff: The main compartment has two dividers, and one of those double-functions as an open pocket for a phone or small accessory. There is an external zippered pocket that runs the width of the bag and is half-covered by the magnetic flap. This pocket has two open interior stash pockets (which are nicely finished, by the way). One of those stash pocekts contains the bag's rain cover and is attached by a loop. There is also a see-through semi-open pocket on the inside of the lid which closes in the center with Velcro. And finally there are two open exterior stash pockets on each side of the bag, one of which has some stretch to it to accommodate somewhat larger items and the other is a bit gusseted.

CONs (quite minor to me but mentioning these points for completeness anyway)

Dividers: The dividers are rather thin and not as well padded as in a lot of other brand bags. I assume it was a trade-off to keep the dimensions of the bag as compact as possible, and that's fine by me.

The strap: While it features metal hardware (as mentioned above) and looks generally well made, I find it rather narrow and it has absolutely no padding of any kind it is just a plain strap. I might use one of the straps from my other bags because frankly, this is not the most comfortable strap. However, since it is detachable, it is not a big issue.

I also would have liked to see another zippered compartment on the back of the bag instead of the option to pull through a belt (or the strap) to make this a sort of waist pack. I for one find that fully loaded, this bag would be rather uncomfortable worn at the waist.

On a strictly personal note, I want to add that I am not fond of the 90% of black or grey camera bags out there. I would love to see this bag in a fun, modern color but alas, it is black and grey... :-(

7/18: Someone remarked on my review (see under comments) and stated that leaving the bag unzipped, the magnetic flap does not work for him when he lifts the bag by the handle (bag containing camera with kit lens), and that it falls open every time, endangering his equipment. While it works a lot better on my bag, it is definitely not 100 % secure. So to be safe, it's best to not lift the bag up by the handle at all when it is only closed with the magnets and not zipped shut. The manufacturer should probably rethink this approach altogether...

EQUIPMENT I can fit into this bag (also see 2 pictures I uploaded):

Main compartment:

Olympus PEN E-P3 with 14-42mm kit lens attached

M.Zuiko 40-150 mm zoom lens

M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 lens

Olympus Macro Converter

Note: With all those lenses in there, the divider that would normally provide space for a phone is almost too squeezed to use it for anything, so I leave it empty.

Lid Pocket:

Several spare lens caps or ca. 2 small filter bags (Note: My B+W plastic filter boxes do not fit the Velcro cannot be closed anymore if I try to put those in there). This is also a great space for 2-3 spare batteries or small cables, etc.

Large Zippered Exterior Pocket:

Small(!)camera manual

Spare battery or small cable.

Has the rain cover stored in one of the stash pockets.

Exterior Side Pockets:

I leave these empty as they cannot be zippered or Velcro'd shut but they could accommodate small items such as spare lens caps and the like.

SUMMARY:

The bag is well designed and thought-out where it counts. The shortcomings are all minor and rather insignificant. I for one am very pleased with this bag and recommend it 100%.

NOTE, 7/17/2013: Turns out that as of 7/15 Amazon has done away with the customer-submitted image feature. My uploaded images were therefore deleted. Sorry about that. I don't agree with Amazon who told me that this feature was not used enough by their customers and that's why they stopped offering it but there is nothing I can do about it.

8/12: Confusion! My images are back not sure whether Amazon has decided to bring back the Customer Image feature or what's up with that. In any case they are up again and should they disappear in the future, you'll know what's likely happened. This will be my last comment on this issue now :-)

Well built, and light.

My Mirrorless Mover 20 arrived today. I've always been a Lowepro guy until the end. I will continue to be a Lowepro guy. I also must say that I can't testify to the quality and design of any other thinkTank bag, but the Mirrorless Mover 20 is well designed and well crafted. I think it's not a perfect bag, and how many of us ever do really find the "Perfect bag of bags?" But, thinkTank made a good bag. It's perfectly suited for my V2, lenses and accessories. I'm sure that I probably could've found a Lowepro bag that is comparable. One thing that I really appreciate about thinkTank, is that they use metal hardware, instead of plastic, which many of their competitors use. They also have a great magnet closure, which allows for quick access to your gear. You don't have to zip everything up, to secure your gear. I'm extremely content with my Mirrorless Mover 20.

Honest reviews on Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 Bag for Medium Size Mirrorless Body

This is a great [small] bag for M4/3 gear. I dont like to carry a big photo bag, and this one is small, but carries most of the necessary gear. I have a Olympus OMDEM5 with three lens: Panasonic 12-35 2.8, Panasonic 14-140 3.5, and Oly 45 1.8. They all fit [including their lens hoods and the small Oly flash], and I still have room for extra batteries, SD cards, a mimi tripod and some lens cleaning stuff.The end pockets are pretty much useless, but everything else works well and is of high quality. The bag is "maxed out" with the stuff noted, so don't expect to add much more-you "might" be able to get a pancake lens in there somewhere, but that will be about it....... all-in-all, a fine travel bag!

Pretty much like everything about this bag with two exceptions. First, I think the dividers are a bit too thin. I know this is a small bag so interior space needs to be maximized, but the dividers do not provide as much cushion as I would have liked. Second, the strap isn't very comfortable and although it seems to be of high quality, the rotating metal clips squeak a lot. I think adding a little lube will help with the sound, but I hope I don't have to reapply it often.

This next portion doesn't factor into my rating, but I thought it might be helpful. The bag is nice and small but I wish that it was just slightly bigger. I fit the following into the bag: Nikon V2, 32mm f/1.2, 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 VR, 18.5mm f/1.8, SB-N7 speed light, small lens pen and small micro fiber towel, extra SD card, nikon wireless remote, and 2 extra AAA batteries (for speed light). That's quite amazing that I can fit all this into this tiny bag but I still wish it was slighter deeper (from front to back) and included a padded pocket similar to the next size up TTMM30. I like to walk around cities for a full day and having a pocket for a book or my kindle would have been perfect for lunch time. The 30 is a bit too big and I don't really like the way the top opens, so that's why I ended up choosing the TTMM20.

This is a really nice case, padded quite well and has an added front storage zippered compartment which has another small compartment inside suitable for memory and batteries and such. The latch is especially sturdy and dependable as it is velcro backed up by an adjustable buckle system. It has a belt loop on the back and an adjustable shoulder strap as well. This case is a little more bulky than Canon's leather case but it offers a good many features the leather case does not. No doubt this case is the safer home for the camera if you don't mind the little extra bulk.

I have a Cannon SD 800IS and this case is perfect!!! It is very protective inside (soft & supportive) , it has actually two pouches inside and a nice zipper that contains it all. It has an additional strap for carrying and a place to cary it on your belt. I really like the belt option because you don't have to take off your belt to put it on. This also helps if you want to attach it to something else. The protective weather part is very discrete and hidden when not in use. All in all, this is a WONDERFUL case if you have a small digital camera!!!!

I looked all around for a small case for my High Def camcorder. I have the Sony HDR-CX100. (Great camcorder BTW). The problem with all cases that are intended to fit the camcorder is that they are too big. I can't understand why you would go to the trouble of getting a small camcorder and then put it in a large camera case/bag !! The irony is that all the reviews for cases that are designed for the smaller camcorders gripe that those very cases are too small !! THEY ARE HUGE !! I got the Sony LCM-AX1 --it is HUGE !! I tried the Sony LCS-SRC ---again --humongous !! The premise is all wrong...All I want is a case that protects my camera and allows me to benefit from the small camera. Simple concept. I dream of a day when someone designs a hard clam shell form fitted case like a guitar case for these small camera's. Wouldn't that be great !!! But no no no none are available. (I feel better now I'm vented).

Now this case works but it is crammed in there like a fat man in a pair of biker shorts. Not a pretty site. But just like the fat man after a 5 mile ride it works. Also it will only work with the small regular sized battery that comes with the camcorder there is no room for a bigger battery to fit.

This is a well constructed, roomy, user friendly case for use with small frame cameras. It can easily hold your camera, an extra battery, extra memory cards, and the USB cable. If you have a battery charger it might also fit, but it may be pretty tight. The case comes with a strap or can be attached to a belt loop via a secure snap button on the back of the case. Overall, this is a nice case, if you need to store several accessories and your camera together.

I ordered this case for my Sony Cybershot camera. Either I didn't read the product description correctly or it didn't talk about all of the pockets in this case. Anyway the camera pocket had more than enough room for the camera. I can even include the battery charger in there if I wanted. The other two pockets can hold the battery and any additional memory that I want to have. I like the fact that I can use the shoulder strap or attach it to my belt. This was an excellent deal.

Reviews of Case Logic SLRA-6 Medium Tripod Case (Black/Gray)

Customer Ratings:

I will vouch for this case. I do a lot of outdoors and travel photography, so a lightweight tripod is a must. This size fits my Slik Sprint Pro tripod perfectly, so you can check the dimensions on that to see if it will fit yours. The interior dimensions listed are on the small side, meaning this will likely fit a bit more than it says it will... which is a good thing.

As for durability, it is incredible. I have not found another tripod bag that will even compete. I have it attached to the side of my LowePro Fastpack 250, and have taken it all over the world basically. Rain, snow, dust, dirt, this thing has been through a lot. A lot of airports too. And it's still going strong. I would say the build is similar to lowepro's better equipment. It'll hold heavier tripods too (i.e. manfrottos), but they must be small enough to fit inside the bag.

The biggest reason this case is so much better than the rest is that it has its own structure. This means that you can pull the tripod out of the bag without having to hold the bag. This means you can also put the tripod back into the bag without having to hold the bag. This is incredibly convenient, especially for those of use that are on the move, and maybe only have a few seconds (and/or just one hand) to pull out a tripod.

I just wanted a bag to help hide my tripod at least a little bit while on the subway or walking the streets and this fits the bill.

The idea was to clip it somehow to my camera bag, a Domke F-7, and this one was easy to attach. There are small strap loops, 2 on each side and 2 on the bottom. There is also an orange bungee cord surrounding the whole thing that I have no idea what is used for. Its gone anyway, I don't care much for safety orange attention grabbers on my gear.

It seems to be made well, everything is reinforced and its lightly padded. Its not great, but what do you expect for a $20 bag?

My Gitzo Traveller with a Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head does not fit in the bag. The head is too big by about 2". What I need to do is take the head off, reverse the legs on the tripod like they're meant to be, throw the tripod and then the head in the bag and everything fits. A little bit of a pain but only takes a few seconds. I did not want a longer bag as this one is almost exactly the same length as my bag. A Benro Traveller tripod fits fine.

I wouldn't trust this to protect an expensive tripod in the cargo hold of an airplane, the sides are too soft and too little padded for that. It will obviously pass carry-on restrictions but it will count as a bag, so depending on what you're carrying, the airline, and the flight attendant that might not be an option. The flipside is that if you just have the tripod strapped to your bag, you might not it get through security or on the plane as they think it would be too easy to grab it and use it as a weapon. In that case it might be better to buy something that is just like a cloth bag that will cover your tripod and strap it onto you camera bag that way.

Overall a good deal. Its almost twice the price on the Case Logic site, and its not nearly as expensive as a lot of bags listed here.

Best Deals for Case Logic SLRA-6 Medium Tripod Case (Black/Gray)

I bought this for my Slik Sprint Pro. But unlike another reviewer with the same tripod, I feel that it is a poor fit. It's not the case's fault. It's just too long and too wide for SS Pro.

That's the problem with buying things over the Internet. You have to go by the pictures and the available reviews. Had I known this case would be much too big (in girth), I would not have purchased it. But then I would have missed out. It's a great fit for my Sony video tripod, which is a little longer than the Slik Sprint Pro and has a much greater girth with the legs folded. I always wanted a more substantial case for that video tripod but didn't want to spend the money because it came with a case (more like a "cover" or slipcase). Carrying the video tripod was an ordeal because its thin cloth case didn't protect the tripod and it wasn't comfortable to carry (no padding).

This case is nicely padded good protection for the tripod against the elements and good protection for me against the tripod.

I haven't figured out what the orange elastic cord is for. There are four "belt loops" that also have no obvious function. I could do without both, but it doesn't bother me to have them there.

Bottom line: Measure the length of your tripod. This case really is 21" long inside. It has a generous diameter. I can't image many tripods having too great a girth to fit this case. And for those with slender tripods like the Slik Sprint Pro, you could wrap a towel around it for a snug fit. I might have done that if I didn't have the video tripod.

According to other reviewers, this case may not be the greatest for C60's, but it's the perfect case for my Olympus Stylus 500.

Initially I worried its dimensions would fit too small, but it is actually fairly roomy for the Stylus 500 model. It's not too snug, so taking the camera in and out of the case is very easy and I've never had a problem fumbling my camera in the process.

I feel my camera is well protected in this case, and at the same time the case is not too bulky. I'm even able to carry it around in a small purse. I would imagine the only downside is that there is no place to put a spare battery, but overall I think it is a great buy for the Stylus 500.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I bought this package in 2008 because my husband and I were going to Hawaii in October. The waterproof case worked out perfectly!

Best of all there were no leaks, so my camera stayed perfectly dry! The camera case and cleaning kit were also very useful. Being on the beach the majority of my trip got a lot of sand in the cracks of my camera, but the cleaning kit took care of that problem, and the camera case was big enough I could fit my personal items as well so I didn't have to carry a purse.

I bought this case for my Pentax S5z and it was too big, which resulted in the lens part of the case getting into pictures. This destroyed around 90% of my pictures.

Otherwise the case worked, meaning it did not leak, but I used it only once as it is pointless to use it with this camera. I strongly discourage to buy this case if you want to use it with Pentax S5z (and possibly other cameras of similar size).

Honest reviews on Underwater Case for the Following Pentax Optio Digital Cameras: S

This is a great piece of kit. It's basically a souped-up plastic bag but has a heavy-duty ziplok, a long sleeve that rolls tight and then two velcro tabs that hold the roll-up closed.

I've been using it a lot over the last two days and it has survived several runs down a log flume plus a fair old bashing around in the pool with the kids. I don't know what it's like at depth I'll give it a trial some other holiday.

The picture doesn't show it too well but the black circle actually sticks out a couple of cm to allow the lens to project when the camera is turned on. The glass at the end is very clear and doesn't hold drips. The controls are easily accessible through the plastic at the rear and the video screen is also easy to view.

All in all a great addition for the cheap family camera.

I would describe myself as an enthusiastic amateur photographer/videographer who frequently travels with a lot of equipment.

This series of backpacks has been given high ratings by a number of users which prompted my initial interest. I live in a small town and was unable to get a "hands on" look at this backpack, although my local vendor did carry the Aero series of packs.

Prior to purchase I was looking for:

1) Protection for my 2008 15in MacBook Pro (LED series)

2) Protection for my Canon EOS 40D with multiple lenses

3) The ability to bring my Sony HDV Handycam

4) Plenty of room for accessories and additional small items

5) A sturdy external construction that would survive travel and hiking

6) A bag would serve as a carry-on for flights

This bag meets and exceeds my expectations. I am able to fit the bag under the seat of regional and large jets. On regional jets, it won't always fit in an overhead compartment...but I'm sure that this can vary among airlines.

In addition to the expectations above there are several other pluses:

1) The waste-strap provides plenty of extra support when you load up this bag

2) The inside may be customized in a number of configurations to suit your equipment needs with well designed velcro pads (keeps wasted space to a minimum)

3) There is room for later expansion with Tamrac's SAS and MAS systems

Be Aware:

1) This is a large backpack as others have suggested. Though it would appear to work well in a plane, it barely makes it under some seats. When there is a tight fit in an airplane you will have some difficulty getting access to your laptop without a bit of work.

2) This is probably not a bag to be used for short trips with a small amount of stuff...this bag is designed to be a carry-all.

3) It would appear that the zippers on laptop access portion of this bag are similar to the waterproof/rubberized zippers that have been given low ratings on other Tamrac bags in the past. I have not experienced any issues with these so far, though my time with this bag has been short to date.

I highly recommend this bag to those that have expectations similar to mine.

I am not sure how it happened but the amount of photographic equipment and accessories I've accumulated has blossomed like a mushroom cloud. I found myself carrying two or three bags of equipment with me when I went out on a photo shoot. This became cumbersome and frustrating. I decided what I needed was a bag that could hold my gear and keep it protected while I was out in the field. I looked at several before finally deciding on the Tamrac 5587 photo backpack.

Part of the problem with buying a bag over the Internet is that you never quite know how big it really is. I read the description of this bag but still did not have a clear vision of the size. I placed an order thinking I knew how big it was but when it arrived I was slightly stunned. This is by no means a small bag. It is large enough to require a waist belt and for good reason. The bag itself is capable of holding quite a lot of equipment. To give you an idea let me share with you what I had in the bag during my last assignment.

I was able to include a Nikon D300 camera with a Nikkor 80-400mm lens, a Nikon D200 camera with a Nikkor 18-200mm lens, a Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 lens, two Nikon SB800 flash units, a Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 lens, a Gitzo GM3551 monopod (strapped to the outside), an assortment of batteries, filters, lens caps, cleaning supplies, 12 Compact Flash memory cards, an Apple MacBook Pro 15", and the power cables and connections for the computer. All of this gear fit comfortably in the backpack. Once loaded it was by no means lightweight but I at least felt like the gear was protected and I could carry everything I needed in 1 bag.

The construction of the bag is first rate. The zippers are heavy duty and the velcro seems to be top notch. There are several adjustments that can be made to make the bag fit well. Fully loaded the weight seems to be distributed well so it was not overly painful to carry it. I would not want to hike for days with this on my back but over the course of several hours covering a soccer tournament it worked pretty well. The base is fairly square so it stands up on the ground pretty well. While I like the waist strap for carrying it, it does get in the way when you are not wearing the backpack. I wish there was a way of removing the waist strap but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible. Overall I like the idea, just be aware that it is pretty large so don't be too surprised by the large box it is delivered in.

I actually didn't expect this bag/backpack to be so big. However, it makes sense and it holds allot of equipment and the Sony 15.4" laptop all in one bag with good solid construction and padding along with some light rain guard on the outer areas. It fits well, is very adjustable, comfy but heavy especially when filled. However, to me that is a no brainer. If you are looking for light weight this is NOT it. It does what it should and does it well and it moves well with you when hiking or on uneven terrain it doesn't throw you off balance as some other more stiffly attached ones do. Remember this bag/backpack comes in a larger one (Expedition 9x) and 2-3 smaller ones (Expedition 3x & 5x). These are usually on display at larger camera specialty shops, so go check it out before you buy it. Do search around as you can find good prices as with most items prices change often.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5587 Expedition 7x Photo/Laptop Backpack (Black)

As a professional photojournalist, this bag does almost everything I could ask for. I have some quibbles but for the most part, they are just that...quibbles. This huge bag is pretty well designed, extremely well padded, pretty rugged and has served me quite well.

I don't remember exactly when I purchased the Tamarac Expedition. It was somewhere between 3 1/2 and 5 years ago. In that time, it has proved itself to be just exactly what I need as a photojournalist both in the field and in transit.

The first thing that I noticed about the Tamarac Expedition is its size. This thing is HUGE. If it was white, one might be mistaken for an Apollo astronaut preparing to walk on the moon. For some, the size will be too big but for me it's just right. Having a large bag like this allows me to not only carry multiple camera bodies and lenses, but it also allows me to carry a plethora of accessories into the field when necessary. The ability to carry enormous amounts of extra stuff means that I rarely find myself in need of anything if this is the bag I've grabbed on the way out the door to an assignment. In addition to all the obvious things like extra lenses, bodies, flashes, cleaning kits and so on, I also have plenty of space which is used for the bejillion little things that one always seems to need and never seems to have when something goes wrong in the field including extra lens caps, LCD covers, remote triggering accessories, a flashlight, a knife, battery packs, earplugs, gloves, camera covers and a reflective yellow safety vest.

The Tamarac Expedition has a myriad of adjustments that allow the wearer to make it comfortable. In fact, I would submit that there may be a few too many adjustments on this bag as I find myself constantly at war trying to find new and innovative ways to secure straps and pull ties that always seem to be flopping around.

One of the most important aspects of any camera transportation system is padding. Carrying expensive camera equipment has been likened to carrying a pair of jars when one is inside the other. The Tamarac Expedition 7 REALLY delivers in this area.

The padding on this bag is quite thick, chiefly because of the designer's apparent goal of user comfort. The padding and lumbar support on the back of this bag is quite thick which not only gives comfort to the wearer, but as an added bonus, gives the all important duty of keeping the contents of the bag that much more padded. In addition, since this bag is designed with a laptop pocket, that too is padded which again provides the real cargo (camera and lenses) with even MORE padding.

Inside, the Tamarac backpack continues the padding theme but on a far lessor scale. The adjustable dividers that are provided with this product are thinner than outside but quite adequate at keeping even heavy cameras and lenses separated in individually adjusted compartments. I also like, and wish there were more of, the velcro straps that allow you to "tie down" cameras or long lenses in the larger compartments.

The Tamarac backpack has a fair number of relatively small pockets and pouches. The way these are designed into the bag makes it look cool but frankly I would prefer a little more space to a little more style. One example of this is what I consider to be wasted space on the top of the bag where there is a small pocket for putting the feet of a tripod and above that empty space in between two oblong pockets where the tripod ostensibly rests. I never use this "feature" preferring to strap a tripod to the bottom of a backpack and I miss the pocket that could have been there instead.

If there is a downside to this camera bag, it is brought on only by one's own stupidity. It's possible to overload this bag so much that it would be truly a burden to carry for long periods of time. Ask me how I know this. ;-) In general, however, the big shoulder pads and heavily padded back, along with a very large waist belt system, make this camera bag quite comfortable to wear, usually. If I could change one thing about this, it would be to reduce the lumbar support by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch because it sticks out just too far.

The only failure I've experienced with this bag is an area on the right hand side where the shell has somehow come unstitched for about 4 inches near the top flap. I don't believe that this was a user error but I really don't know how it happened, so take that for what it's worth.

All-in-all I pretty much like the Tamarac Expedition 7. From the materials it's made out of to most of its design, it is a very good backpack for those who have need of carrying large amounts of delicate equipment. The padding is outstanding (maybe a little too good in the lumbar area) but I would still recommend this product to fellow photojournalists or others who might want to take a large amount of stuff into the field. For me, the price is on the high side, but the utility of this backpack really meets my needs.

This is absolutely the perfect photo bag for me. It's comfortable, rides well, carries everything I could need in the field, including a tripod. I think the design is by far the best so far.

Kroo Camera Case for Canon Powershot Camera Digital Camera Reviews

Customer Ratings:

No lanyard. Within a day the zipper broke and the camera fell out making this "cool" case a very expensive piece of junk. It is bigger than I expected--much bigger than the camera--and it is bulky. The green is VERY pale green, too, not the intense green pictured here. I was very disappointed. Avoid!

The description says that the Eva Case comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck or shoulder -but there is no lanyard with the case I received. Did anyone else get a lanyard with it? The case is also bulkier than I expected.

The case is very nice in appearance and functionality, but unfortunately it does not provide a great fit for certain cameras. The case is much larger than I had expected and my Canon SD1000 does not fit snugly in the case as I had hoped. Do not expect to be able to carry this case in your pocket as you would the camera by itself. I must say that I am fairly disappointed by the case's size but at least it provides good protection for the camera.

Product is great, however I did not receive the cloth or lanyard as described in the item description on this page. No big deal, but someone needs to do a little more QC on the orders shipping out.

The case was too big for my Canon Powershot SD1000 camera. Inside has too much space for the camera. I do not feel safe with the camera having so much space inside for it to move around. Inside does not have much cushioning.

A Pelican is the top of the line case for protecting your items against water, sand, and dust.

I chose this size the 1015 because I was looking for something to fit my digital ELPH camera for a rafting trip. The case fit the Canon Powershot sd1200 perfectly with enough room to wrap the camera in a sock for cushion and have it fit snugly.

Beautiful blue case color, too.

I bought this case to store my Samsung Galaxy S II phone while hiking and camping. My phone does not have any external case or protection around it such as a gel cover for shock protection. With the rubber insert, which makes the case water resistant, the case is too small for my phone to lay flat. I can force it too lay flat but I have to pry it out. Droid users don't have a chance. The rubber insert may break in over time but I doubt it will make that much of a difference. With that being said, the case is made with outstanding quality. My phone will definitely be protected from the elements.
