I would recommend this product to anyone, it's a perfect small case with a hard shell, so no worries. It has inside pocket for extra batteries, etc. and you can hook it onto a purse for security.

I specifically double and tripled checked that this listing said it would fit my Olympus TG-1 iHS camera. The seller has it listed first as a camera the case will fit, but when I received it and tried putting my camera in, it doesn't fit at all. It isn't even just a tight fit; I can't close the case with the camera in it. Probably best to check measurements with your camera and the case if you decide to buy this case, since obviously it doesn't fit all cameras it says it does.

I recently purchased this item to store my Canon SX200 IS camera in. The camera itself is a little on the larger side of point-and-shoots, and this bag fits it very nicely. If you have a small point-and-shoot, your camera will probably slide around in this bag. I would recommend the brand though the case has a solid feel to it and has good construction quality. It's a little pricier than some other options, but the extra few dollars are well worth it in my opinion.

Cheap Thule Luggage Perspektiv Large Toploader

Thule Perspektiv SLR L Toploader - Black
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Thule is well known for making high quality car attachments. They can be used to carry bikes, kayaks, skis and luggage. Recently they have expanded to also making bags for caring your electronics (computers, iPads, cameras, etc).

This is a very interesting bag, from the moment you pick it up, you can tell that this was made with quality and inattention to detail. It is even made to withstand most weather, although I would exercise caution with that.

On the other hand, there is one use for this bag to carry DSLR with a large lens. There are no pockets, no internal containers.... just one big open case. As such, this really limits its usefulness

For many people this is not going to be an ideal bag. Then again, if one has the need for a bag like this it isn't going to be the primary bag as you can't carry much else in it.

Ultimately, I would say that this is a novelty bag. It won't appeal to many and for those who need this type of bag, you should probably check out the competition before deciding on this one.

Well it is well built, and has some nice details.

But it is larger than needed for my lenses.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a rather large camera case. Measures about 11" tall, 8" square on top, tapering down to 6.5" square on the bottom. Construction quality is excellent. The walls are semi-rigid foam. Plenty of padding. All the zippers are sealed. In addition there is a rain cover. I ran this in my shower, and not a drop of water got in. The back has about a 1/2" of soft, ventilated padding. In terms of storage, you have one main compartment wit 2 sets of movable foam pads for the lens. On the out side, you have a tiny pocket on top...good for a set of keys or an iphone, but not much else. There's two side slots as well for quick access items, but there's no zipper. Overall construction quality is just beautiful. Best of any camera bag that I've seen. All the seams are perfect. The material looks amazing. Great looking case.

In use, I'd have to agree that this is not for everybody. My Nikon D7000 with a 18-200 lens look tiny and cannot be secured because it's plain too small. In fact, I can fit a 50mm lens on the bottom and still have room for the camera and 18-200 lens on top. It's not only the depth, but the width is also too wide. My friend's Nikon D800 fits perfectly.

This is a fairly comfortable case. I use it mostly as a sling. The strap is plenty padded, and the waste strap kept movements in check. The extremely precise seems makes it hard to work the zippers, however. Even using the zipper straps, the zipper gets caught all the time. And the top compartment, for some stupid reason, does not open all the way. The zipper stops about one inch from the back. Makes it a bit difficult to get your camera out.

Overall, I like this bag. It's beautifully made and completely weatherproof. However, I wouldn't use this for anything short of a full size DSLR. Just plain too big otherwise. If you have a full size DSLR and have the 80-200 lens, this is a custom made case for you. Otherwise, don't buy.

Honest reviews on Thule Luggage Perspektiv Large Toploader

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was initially excited about this bag because I carry a Canon 60D with a 70-200mm zoom lens and the bag I have now doesn't facilitate transporting the camera with the zoom lens attached.

Although the Thule Perspektiv bag will easily swallow the 60D with the zoom lens attached, a design flaw with the zipper makes it difficult to retrieve the camera from the bag. I've posted some photos to illustrate the problem that I will attempt to describe here.

The zipper on the top does not reach to edge of the top of the bag. This makes it difficult to open the bag and keep it open without using two hands. You have to fumble with the zipper and then use two hands to bend the top back out of the way to retrieve the camera. It's awkward, cumbersome, and frustrating.

I'm mainly a wildlife photographer so I need to be able to quickly retrieve the camera from the bag when I reach my location. This is where the bag disappoints, and for me the bag is unusable.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program As camera bags go this the probably the smallest one I own for my SLR now. It is as the vendor describes it, a minimalist bag for people on the go that don't want to be weighed down. It's really probably built for the prosumer range of camera's with but my SLR fits in nicely with with a 300mm lens. I could probably fit maybe one more lens 80mm or less in at the bottom, maybe, but that its, the only things left that the bag would really have room for is some memory cards and maybe a spare battery. That is pretty much it. So I think of the bag as a grab and go bag. I just want to take my camera, no extras, and go hiking or the zoo, concert maybe, somewhere that will not be needing a lot of accessories. For that purpose it does well. Its tough and well padded and pretty easy to open and get to in a hurry.

Best Tenba Car Case P2003 Wheeled Wedding Case Deals

Tenba 634-602 P2003 Wedding Car Case
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The Tenba Car Case P2003 Wheeled Wedding Case is a good piece of luggage for transporting your photo and video equipment. The construction quality is good, and the low-key appearance will appeal to those who don't want to draw attention to the equipment they are transporting. But this case is somewhat limited by a few design elements, and the capacity is not enough to make it a carry-all. So after reviewing all the factors I decided to retire this case and go with an alternative.

PROS:

++ Rigid foam and plastic wall-panels can be removed and cleaned

++ Wrap-around double zippered opening makes it easy to organize your equipment

++ Padded pocket provides added protection and separation for accessories

++ Velcro straps & fuzzy walls accommodate optional accessories such as the magazine pack (MP) & lens pack (LPZ-4)

++ Compact enough dimensions (L12'' x H21'' x D12'') for potential flight carry-on & overhead storage

++ Padded hand-strap makes it easy to grab and go

++ Oversized 2-inch curved padded shoulder strap allows for comfortable transport

++ Telescoping handle and wheels makes it easy to cart around

++ Durable and weather resistant ballistic nylon material

++ Zippers can be locked closed for added security

++ Integrated Velcro lashing tabs for mounting your camera and / or strobe & bracket inside

++ External Velcro straps for your tripod or monopod

++ Low-key appearance won't draw attention to the equipment you are transporting

++ Integrated feet on the base for standing

++ Generous 5-year warrantee covers everything outside of intentional destruction

CONS:

-Though they are included in the production picture, the case does not include the magazine pack (MP) or lens pack (LPZ-4)

-Somewhat limited capacity & compartments prevent using this as a carry-all

-Insufficient attachment hooks and loops for hooking things onto

-Little padding or anti-shock protection built-in

-Handle is not reinforced, unlike alternatives

-Compared to alternatives, also has slightly less versatility for layout and organization

-No externally accessible zippered pockets for incidental storage

-Comes at a premium

KEY FEATURES & CONSIDERATIONS

The storage compartment includes a nice padded pocket, as well as space for additional accessories that can be added with adjustable velcro straps. The depth is good for fitting most bracketed setups.

The walls and cover all have wrap-around zippers so that the rigid foam and plastic walls inside can be removed and cleaned. That's probably this unit's best feature. I don't know how durable those plastic panels actually are, but they appear to be stable enough.

But I find several design elements of this case to be limiting. There are loops for a tripod or monopod on the side of the case. But there are no additional loops or carabiners for smaller accessories. The positioning of the internal lashing tabs also limited the setup options.

COMPARING TO ALTERNATIVES

I debated between this and the Pelican hard-shell case. The handle is not reinforced but it includes a functional but basic leather material cover. Contrast that against the Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Black), which has a thick hard plastic steel reinforced handle and all metal hinges. The Pelican case gives you the extra confidence of potential water tight usage. You also have the option of fabric dividers and foam, both of which are customizable to make a large number of smaller internal compartments.

This case is more forgiving for fitting into an overhead luggage compartment. But the included dividers will only accommodate a small number of accessories. And while the Velcro sides allow you hook in more dividers, the lack of Velcro on the back, top and bottom limit the kinds of items that can be stored in ad-hoc compartments.

For those that want a fabric case, Tenba also makes a unit without the wheels, frame and telescoping handle, the Tenba 634-601 P2001 Wedding Car Case (Black/Blue). But because the fabric handle is not reinforced, I wouldn't really advise that one unless you are transporting it inside of something else.

There are other fabric cases like the Lowepro Pro Roller x100 Camera Bag (Black), but I have to look at them more before I can comment.

CONDITION

As a side note, the unit I initially received seemed old, dirty and used. It differed from the product picture in that the wheels were not as wide and, instead, were centered under the case. I was surprised because I thought this was a new model. Amazon was more than willing to replace the unit. But after looking everything over, I have decided to explore the alternatives.

CONCLUSION

This is a nice compact piece of equipment luggage made with high quality lightweight materials. While it didn't meet my needs, it is one of the most compact cases of this kind. Be sure to review your options and if you choose this one I hope it works for you.

Enjoy.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Just got it and for $22 was expecting WAY more.... This would be good if it was the $5 ebay deal (I have a stack of those cheapies for lenses and they are better quality then this one :-( ). Needed for a trip and ebay delivery was too slow but if your not in a hurry find a cheap version there instead of this.

Bag is very thin (thinner then you think from the description) and fit is very average very poorly conformed to shape of camera body. It's small but stretches. The velcro does not go full width, so I expect it will get pulled open if rubbed the wrong way. Going to be generous on the 2-star rating.

Bought this for my Canon 7D for a trip. I always carry my camera on in a sling type camera bag, but didn't want to have all of the foam interiors of bulk of the camera + lens.

So i bought this along with a set of neoprene lens pouches and separated the body and the 2 lenses.

It was great! I felt the camera and lenses were protected without all the excess bulk. Will definitely travel this way from now on!

Best Deals for LensCoat LCBBBK BodyBag (Black)

I wanted something to protect my Canon Mark IV when it was packed without a lens. This bag was designed for just that. It works well with one exception and that is not a fault of the design. It will not fit over the camera body with a Really Right Stuff L bracket attached. I must take the bracket off firsta bit of a hassle. It would be nice if the neoprene was a little more stretchable, or they offered a model that would accommodate the bracket.

Honest reviews on LensCoat LCBBBK BodyBag (Black)

When you ship or travel with your cameras you shouldn't leave the lens attached. The lens sticks out like a lever and can cause damage to the lens mount or camera flange if it runs into careless handling or accidental dropping. I carry my camera's in a Pelican case with dividers. I have been using a Velcro soft wrap, but it is bulky and takes up a lot of space in my case. This neoprene sleeve offers good protection for cameras that are in a case. Leaving the cameras unprotected is a disaster waiting to happen. Any number of small parts could work their way into the cases camera compartment and scratch up your camera or worse your display screen.

Think of the investment as a $20 insurance policy.

This bag is for the camera body without an optional grip. It says it fits to Canon 5D, but it's really tight to fit my 5D Mark III. Fortunately, the fabric is a bit elastic. I hope it becomes loose as time goes.

Received this case as part of a package. It's sturdy, well-built, and fairly well thought-out, with a zippered (and flap protected) pouch on the front for accessories such as cables, spare batteries, etc. There is also a compartment built into the top for smaller items like memory card, lens cover, cleaning cloths, maybe a USB card adapter. The front and top compartments have velcro/zipper closures. The main compartment has a velcro adustable divider for presumably an extra lens.

There are two problems I have with the case. First, its too small, really for my PEN E-PL3 wearing the 14-40mm lens and 40-150mm packed to the side. It seems to be a common problem amongst cases trying to get too much in too small a space. I understand stuff needs to be tight in a case, but the camera barely fits, needing to be pushed in while pulling on the case. That leads to my other problem, which is the main compartment zipper. Dude. If you're going to put together a nice little case like this, why on earth would you put on a cheap zipper that breaks on the first zip? It's one of those nylon zippers with two zippers that can meet at the middle. But on this case they won't, because one is broken such that the closure is open on both sides. The other zipper will come around, with some effort to get around the camera and lens, but I'm guessing it will break soon, too.

In my opinion, a camera case should be secured with a latch, not a zipper. Especially a cheap zipper. With a couple of design changes this could be a good camera case.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This bag is exceedingly well-made and at $10, an absolute bargain. I would've been happy with mine at three times that price. The fabric is durable, the zippers are sturdy, and the design is excellent, with a total of five exterior pockets and one large interior compartment that can be divided. Overall, the bag gives an impression of quality and good design.

The reviewer who gave this bag two stars is not being fair. His complaint seems to be that the bag's size is... well... the size stated in its description. If he didn't read the dimensions of the bag before ordering and was expecting something much smaller, how is that the product's fault?

Know what you're ordering: This smallish shoulder bag is a little smaller than a sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper in width and height, and about 2" thick. You probably wouldn't want to use it all the time, like you might with a belt-mounted camera case. But if you need to head out on a photo day trip with your digital camera, an extra set of batteries, an extra storage card, a small notebook, a map, and a cell phone, this bag is pretty close to perfect.

as a camera bag, it is really stylish and superlight.

I bought it as my mini-day pack for Canon digital camera, batteries, and one guide book, and a bottle of water. They all fit and still could put some more. So, you get the idea of the size.

If you are considering a compact bag like a fanny bag size, this is twice of the volume. A medium dark shiny grey color makes it look very sleek in my opinion. I think it was a very good buy, at least, better than Canon camera I bought with it;)

The strap is great too. Whether you want to carry it or put it over your shoulder. This bag is worth twice the price!

Honest reviews on Canon PSC-1 Side Pack for all Powershot Digital Cameras

This is not a straight camera case or even bag, so to speak, but nevertheless I've found it very useful as a field bag, and the price is extremely attractive. There is room for far more than a small digital camera, and I suspect Canon just never correctly marketed the real utility of this item, after reading another review.

Professional photographers have scads of choices in dedicated equipment bags; everyday shooters are prone to grab the nearest tote if they need more than just a protective sheath for the camera.

As has been mentioned already, there is room in this bag for field guides, camera manuals, power cords, batteries, keys, wallets, etc; it's a great small messenger-type bag overall. I have started using it in place of a shoulder bag from time to time.

One quibble: instead of the small (velcro-attached) shelf available in the main compartment, insert an attached bag, or slipcase, dedicated to the camera itself, in order to protect the LCD from scratches, and provide quick retrieval. I'd be happy to buy it again with that improvement.

With the current design, many people will just throw the camera into the main compartment with who knows what else. And then they will of course complain when the LCD gets beaten up.

This is a nicely designed camera bag. I have a Canon powershot S3 IS that fit's perfectly inside the main compartment with tons of room to spare. There actually enough space for my compact as well.

Best feature of this camera bag It doesn't look like a camera bag. It's got a very casual yet urban look and feel to it, so you won't look like a tourist when walking around in the city especially.

I'm sorry to say that the reviewer who gave this bag 2 stars didn't know exactly what he was purchasing this bag for, or didn't consider the pros and cons of owning such a bag prior to ordering it.

If you plan to carry tons of photography gear, this bag ain't for you.

If you wanna look like a total tourist, this bag ain't for you.

If you need a bag for your camera with room for spare batteries, memory cards or a couple of rolls of film, maybe even some usb cables, then this bag is perfect.

I ordered this to have a camera bag/purse style bag to take on vacation. I wanted something that looked less touristy than a camera bag. The bag did fit my Canon T2i with room to spare for extra parts and it seemed like it was pretty good protection. It is as padded as most mid-level camera bags you might purchase. I love the overall style and texture of the bag, however the outside of the bag is really shiny (read cheap looking.) I don't know if it would be better in one of the other colors, but the red would be much more attractive if it had a more matte finish. I returned the bag.

There is also Velcro at the end of the zipper closure to keep the closure of the main part of the bag extra secure. Side pockets are nice, but also held closed by Velcro so I worry a little about the security of whatever I decide to put in the side pockets. The extra shoulder strap that comes with the bag is helpful and the clips are well made. The strap is made of nylon mesh strap material, similar to a backpack strap material.

This cute little camera bag does not look like a camera bag at all, rather it looks like a stylish hand bag. The interior is light gray, padded and has one movable divider.

My Nicon Coolpix P510 takes up half of the bag leaving the other half for accessories or keys, wallet etc... The main compartment of the bag closes securely with a double zipper. There are two (one on each side) slim side pockets on the outside of the bag, that tab closed with velcro. The bag also has a detachable shoulder strap. Here I find is room for improvement. The shoulder strap is made of black nylon webbing instead of the same material as the handles., It is cheap looking on an otherwise very pretty bag.

I use this bag to haul around my Nikon D80 with the kit lens, along with charger cabling, etc. with plenty of room to spare. There are 2 internal compartments sized for SD card cases, 3 separate pocket areas in the front, and the usual Velcro type compartment arrangement for the camera and gear. I am told the case is large enough to accommodate the D80 with the 18-200 VR lens fitted as well, but I don't yet have that lens to verify it myself. The camera sits lens down in the compartment. The single zipper design makes for fast access and secure containment of your gear. There is also a built-in microfiber cloth, and the pull-over rain fly is a nice touch as well. The build quality is top notch, the only complaint I have is that once you remove your camera, the weight of the bag's flap is enough to make the bag fall over if you leave it open.

When I received the package and opened it, I was concerned that this bag was too small. However, the previous reviewers were quite correct in that it is lightweight and does have ample room for a D90, 18-200mm lens (hood reversed), an SB-600 speedlight, and a few other small items. I don't have another small lens to put in the bag, but one may possibly fit. Instead I have two Sto-fen flash filters tucked along side my camera. This bag provides great protection for my gear, yet is small and light enough to carry all day anywhere. It has a loop to be worn on the belt, although I prefer a shoulder strap.

My criticism (and reduction of one star) is the strap. The quality of the strap is good and there is a nice movable pad on the strap. The problem is the strap is way too long. I'm six foot tall, 220 pounds, and if I extend the strap all the way the bag would be at my knees! Sure, you can shorten it, but that means sliding the buckle to double the strap back on itself. Since the buckle will not pass through the permanently attached shoulder pad, you have to slide the shoulder pad away from the buckle. This means the pad is no longer at the top of the arch of the strap and will not be on your shoulder. I'm going to have to take the bag to a tailor shop to have them remove about ten inches of strap and resew the loop to the buckle! I can't imagine this strap being suitable for anyone that is less than about 350 pounds. Maybe I just got the one with the long strap, but it is seriously lengthy. Otherwise, like I said earlier, the bag is a great day bag. I'd still buy it again for the price since I should be able to easily have the strap shortened.

I am thrilled with this camera case. I have a Nikon D80 and most frequently use an 18-135mm zoom lens which fits in here perfectly. There is also room for my 50mm fixed lens, flash, and lens pen. I even use this camera bag as my purse when traveling because the camera fits in it and my travel wallet fits in there, as well. I love the way it opens and it's design feels safe and secure.
