Billingham f/Stop 2.8 Camera Bag (Black with Black Leather Review

Customer Ratings:

There's nothing wrong w/ the quality and materials; it's just the design that I'm not crazy about. For a boxy and potentially heavy bag (it fits a DSLR camera and a couple/few lenses), I would preferred that it had a top handle as well. My favorite thing about Billingham bags is the easy closure. However, I am returning this because it is just too boxy, bulky and the lack of a top handle was the deal breaker.

Cheap Nikon Coolpix P7700 Digital Camera Case Point & Shoot Digital

Customer Ratings:

It is a great case. It has been hard to find the right case for my amazing P7700 for the way I carry it. At first I wasn't sure it was big enough, but didn't really have an option other than a much larger size case so I tried again. Once I realized how to maneuver into the case it works great. It is a snug fit and not quick to get out, but it was more important to have the right size case. It is a nicely made case as well.

Lowepro Santiago 20 Compact Camera Case Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have a "Canon S95" and also the "Caselogic TBC-302" case which I love but at the suggestion of another reviewer I bought this case just to try it out. I found it to be a good case and made well but there is not any padding inside and no room for anything in there but an extra SD card if positioned right. I like to keep a couple extra batteries in the case so I prefer the "Caselogic TBC-302". See my review there.

Lowepro's LP3663 Santiago 20 case is the same as the regular Santiago 20 case, except for the gray color. That being the case, why it should cost over 30% more is a bit baffling.

Typical for Lowepro, build quality is mostly good. The case is stiffened to hold its shape under a reasonable about of pressure, and has what feels like a nylon covering over a stiff but flexible EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) shell. The case isn't "crushproof", but it should hold up fairly well under most general use conditions. There are no external pockets or compartments.

The belt loop is made of some kind of thin synthetic material. At only 1.5" wide and 3" across, the loop is too loose for my taste. If you have a narrower belt, which is typically true for most people, the case will slide around quite a bit. Widening the loop and tightening it up to 2" across would be a better idea. The case has two sets of zipper handles, so when worn on your belt, it's generally more convenient to open the case using both hands.

The case also comes with a thin nylon shoulder strap. The strap has a thin plastic clip which could easily break. This is an example of skimping by Lowepro, who have a troubling tendency to use plastic parts in critical applications, for many of their cases, such as their Toploader series.

Inside, the Santiago 20 has a pocket on the front side of the case. Depending on your camera, you might be able to squeeze a memory card, battery, or both in this space. There is an elastic strap, on the belt loop side of the case, that can be used secure the camera in place. The case is designed to open only about 60 degrees, which helps keep your camera from accidentally spilling out.

I got this case specifically for a Canon S95 point and shoot, a camera with straight sides and relatively sharp corners. I already had a softer case with more padding, which was fine for basic protection, but was looking for a rigid case for added protection. Although it's possible to squeeze both a spare battery and SD card inside the case, closing the zipper was a little tough, so I usually just put the camera in.

Overall, while this is a well constructed case, I found that it was a bit small for the S95, and I ended up giving the case to someone who had a slightly smaller camera. If you have any doubt whether this case is big enough, it's highly advisable that you physically verify that your camera fits by testing it out in a store. Unless gray is worth paying a premium, you might want to look at the regular black Santiago 20 case. If this case is too small, you might take a look at Lowepro's Santiago 30 case.

I can't give it 5 tires because there is a problem which I didn't have with another compact backpack I bought from kata the dr-461 which has served me for yearsvery well I might add. If you have a pro body like the D300/D700/D800 be warned that it will not fit. This one is made for smaller bodies meaning entry level dslr like the D3100, D5000 etc. You might squeeze in a prosumer/mid range dslr like a D90 which I did but the velcro strip will missalign and it will not be a perfect fit. Otherwise the bag is very good contruction.

Pros: this bag was perfect for my equipment easily storing my nikon D90 with a wrist strap and tripod quick mount. I also have a SB-700 speedlight, 50mm prime, and 18-200 VR lense in this bag. there is room for my charger, cables, and cleaning supplies, flash accessories, and even my rugged point and shoot with its cables. I like how compact this bag is for carrying as much equipment as it manages.

Cons: the only issue I have with this bag is that the tripod straps do not work for my tripod (it won't slide down far enough to be stationary. I plan on adding buckles to their design to work with my equipment. this is minor since it is more of an issue with my exact tripod than an actual major design flaw. I would also like for it to have an exterior mesh pocket for a drink, the images show a drink pocket but there is not one on the bag itself. only the higher number gearpacks have the drink pouch.

Reviews of Domke F-5XB Shoulder/Belt Bag (Sand)

List Price: $111.99

Let me just say, this bag is wonderful.

The materials are top notch, all around. The bag and strap are made of very thick, rugged canvas. The sliders and latches are all made of metal; the strap adjustment loops and zipper strips are plastic, but they seem to be very large and very tough.

The front and rear panels, the bottom, and the dividers are well padded. The small side panels are not padded, so do be aware of that. The bottom is rigid, to keep its general structure and allow it to stand on its own. The shoulder strap has a grippy material that keeps it firmly in place.

The velcro is substantial and it makes things very secure. I feel safe enough leaving the bag partially unzipped and relying on the velcro alone for quicker access. Yes, it's loud, but I'm OK with that.

I can't honestly find a single complaint, other than that it's perhaps a bit pricey. It does exactly what it says, and it just oozes quality.

I was looking for a bag specifically for traveling light with a small amount of Micro 4/3 gear, and after extensive research I was torn between this and the slightly taller (but lower volume) F-5XA. I ultimately settled on this model, and here's what I can cram in here if I'm really trying (I don't have quite this much in there for the video):

E-P2 body with one of the lenses below mounted

Olympus 17mm f/2.8

Olympus 14-42mm

Panasonic 45-200mm

Panasonic 20mm f/1.7

Olympus 50mm f/2 Macro with Micro 4/3 adapter mounted

Olympus FL-14 flash

Olympus VF1 optical viewfinder

Olympus VF2 electronic viewfinder

Spare battery/memory cards/filters/etc in the front pocket

In one completely absurd configuration, I've successfully fit my E-P2 mounted to the Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens in this bag. It *just* fits, and you can use the velcro dividers to create a little pocket underneath the 50-200mm lens to store an m4/3 lens or two.

It does really make you appreciate how much smaller M4/3 is, and how different its needs are. What's for a SLR a small day bag (it'll hold my DSLR + mounted lens + 1 or 2 small extra lenses) can hold an entire M4/3 system.

*** Video errata ***

I think I called the flash the "FL20" it's actually the Olympus FL-14

When talking about my DSLR in this bag, I mangled what's attached and what's not attached. A typical configuration for me is DSLR + small zoom + prime + flash (or another small zoom or prime), with one lens mounted.

*** Update 04/2011 ***

After heavily using (and abusing) this bag over the past year, the fading others have described is starting to become apparent. I'm pretty sure this is due to sun exposure, and it's most apparent on the top flap. It doesn't impact the bag's performance in any way and the faded look doesn't bother me personally (hey, it's got "character" now), but if you want to avoid this you might want to consider the tan model instead of green.

But for 2.5 little quibbles, I'd have given this bag 5 stars.

Quibble # 1 is the velcro closure on the main flap. It's makes the bag far too noisy to open. I like to shoot with Leica Ms for their quiet shutters and overall "stealth". The velcro negates those advantages. A simple fix...I just removed about 90% of the velcro, leaving only enough to keep the flap closed.

Quibble #2 is with the front pockets. There are 4 of them and 3 of them are too small for anything but a pen. The largest will barely hold a Sekonic 308b exposure meter. I really wish that Domke had designed the bag with just two front pockets, but then they couldn't advertise it as having 7 compartments. I guess that the stitching between the pockets can be removed if you have the patience and a steady hand.

Quibble #2.5 is the Domke label on the front flap. I don't want to advertise to the world that I'm carrying $4,000 worth of gear in a bag that, otherwise, is almost invisible. The label is a PITA to remove. I had to use a razor knife to verrrrry carefully cut it away. This is quibble 2.5, only because, if you select the "Official White House Photographer" (or something like that) version, you may actually enjoy advertising the contents of your bag.

Now for the good stuff....

The bag is made of high quality, durable canvas. After a little use, it softens and kind of molds itself to your side. In fact, the more you use it, the better it gets. You could probably remove the padded dividers and toss the shell in with the laundry if you wanted to.

The strap is fantastic. It's a Domke "Gripper" strap. Just like the ones I use on all of my cameras. Although I tend to carry my bags/cameras "cross-chest" for security, the Gripper makes it possible to keep them on my shoulder without much danger of sliding off. The swivels keep the strap from getting twisted and save a lot of cuss words.

The interior has three compartments. I use the center one for a small body with lens attached. Usually a Leica M, but it will also hold a SMALLish SLR with short lens.

One of the other compartments is useful for a second lens or two while the third can be loaded with film.

A nice feature is that the front of the padded dividers is not attached to the front of the bag. This space is useful for extra batteries, a filter or two or other small items.

This is a SMALL bag. It probably won't be your only bag if you have anything more than a very small kit.

It's nearly perfect for the Leica M system and costs a lot less than anything comparable...think Billingham/Fogg, etc.

Just remember to remove the velcro!!

Best Deals for Domke F-5XB Shoulder/Belt Bag (Sand)

This really is a great walking around bag. Very sturdy. The gripper strap is fantastic. Because this bag is made of canvas it molds to the side of your body well: this means less movement from the bag. Big enough to hold a digital SLR such as the Canon 5D body plus any decent size lens (up through a 200mm prime). May be too small for big zooms, or big primes (i.e. above 20mm).

Not a good bag if you want to lug around lots, or even some, "stuff." But if all you want is an inconspicuous, comfortable, and reliable way to carry around one camera body plus lens this can't be beat.

Review is based on comparing other bags I have owned.

Other packs I own or have owned that I am able to remember.

Pentax SLR camera bag similar to F5XB but not canvas w/o flap. (expired) gave it to my brother with camera way back in the day.

Domke F5XB

Pros:

Basic bag that is made of tough canvas and components.

YKK zippers will probably never fail on this bag.

Gripper Strap is best standard strap ever. I can't think of any other strap bag out there.

Smaller simple design. Will fit into any back pack if needed.

Belt loop option.

Practical

Possible Cons and easy solutions:

Outside pocket (under velcro flap) does not have zipper. As a test, I stuck several credit cards in it closed the flap and shook and tossed the bag around without any cards falling out. Also easily hand sew strip of velcro to pocket.

Loud Velcro (large but very secure). Other reviewer recommended reducing the velcro size to reduce velcro noise, but I'll keep it as is.

Domke name on bag is rather large. Simply use a black permanent fabric marker and color the brand name...wait a bit and do it again for complete soak/coverage.

Name tag: just take it off.

Other bags considered over this one: Lowepro All Weather shoulder bags and Case Logic SLRC medium.

Tried out Tamrac Velocity. Good sling pack, but if I was hiking, I'd want the option to use my other backpack and either place camera bag in pack or over my shoulder across my body.

The satchel/messenger style bag is very "on the go" and one would be able to take the camera out of the bag quickly when not zipped. The velcro is large and secure so chances of camera or lens falling out when not zipped is unlikely. The foam padding is just enough. My Tatonka bag had overkill padding that was essentially the same size as this Domke bag. Good stitching and made in the US to support American labor. The flap is customizable by easily sewing patches or drawing on it. I'll keep mine black. The sides have "attachment" loops for additional Domke lens case or pouches that are available as canvas. To use the belt option, use a thick belt to keep bag from sagging too much. Perfect size to put into any of my bags, when needed, without taking too much space.

STRAP STRAP STRAP awesome strap. All my other shoulder strap bags slip off and causes pressure on shoulders. This strap seems to somehow distribute the weight well. The gripper keeps the strap in place=keeps bag in place on your body.

Main compartment:Canon Xsi attached Tamron 18-250, Tamron Ultra Wide, and Canon poorman's 50mm,

Inside pocket: extra batteries, extra card,

Outside pocket: space for keys (front pocket only to prevent scratch), chewing gum, small folding knife w/clip (front again), cleaning/dustfree papers or cloths in empty Altoids container.

Overall, based on my experience of having bags that perform for specific purposes, this small camera messenger type bag is excellent and well worth the price paid.

Hope this helps you to decide.

This bag is well suited for traveling light with not much equipment. The bag is very inconspicuous as far as camera bags go, and the Domke logo on the front can easily be removed or altered to make it even less identifiable as a camera bag (the label is only attached to the bags at the ends).

This is a great everyday bag to tote around a 35mm rangefinder or small SLR, some film, and a second lens or _maybe_ a light meter. I've also used this bag to carry a Mamiya 645 Pro TL with a 55mm f/2.8 or 80mm f/2.8 and metered prism finder attached. The front pocket is pretty slim and can hold a small notepad, pen, business cards, and other items of the like. The velcro in the front is quite noisy when opening, and I will probably modify it to reduce some noise. Overall this bag is exactly what I was expecting.

Forward Observer(TM) SLR Padded Camera Bag w/ MOLLE by Hazard 4(R) Review

I bought this camera case to protect my Canon 60D and 17-55mm f/2.8 lens while deployed. I am half way though and it has protected my equipment great so far. There is plenty of thick padding on all sides to protect the camera from bumps and short falls. The MOLLE is great for attaching the case to my equipment or attaching accessories to the case. The main storage area is just barely large enough for my body/lens/UV filter combination. The body/lens/filter sticks up above the zipper line so it compresses the upper storage compartment a little. The upper storage has plenty of compartments for extra memory cards and batteries. Even though there is a space to put filters, it isn't large enough to fit the filter when it's in its protective case. I am not about to put a B+W polarizer in the slot where it could easily get scratched in my working environment. Thankfully there are side pockets that the filters with cases easily fit in. The upper compartment also has a spot where you can store a Lenspen or two. When fitted with the optional shoulder strap this is a great little case for a smaller SLR or large point and shoot for an afternoon outting.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 with the standard lens and a telephoto lens. The camera only fits with one lens (whichever one is attached). Even if you remove all the Velcro foam dividers it's too small and your camera would shake around a lot.

It doesn't come with a shoulder strap for use when the case isn't attached to a pack or other gear. But the MOLLE system works fine.

It seems to be a solid case but it'd work better for someone with a smaller camera or a photographer with only one lens.

Best Deals for Forward Observer(TM) SLR Padded Camera Bag w/ MOLLE by Hazard 4(R)

Just got this in today. Started arranging how I want my camera in it. I have a Canon Rebel T1I with an 18-55mm lens. With the customizable shelf that comes in the bag, you can create the perfect fit for your camera. The top compartment is perfect for all your lens filters, lens covers, battery, lens cleaning cloth and brush, ID cards, and to hold your phone. Seriously, in the top compartment, there is a divider that is both padded, but also lined with a soft, felt-like fabric. It will protect your phone and won't scratch it.

The outside also has open-topped pouches on the front and sides, behind the PALS webbing grid. Plenty of plastic D-rings give you many attachment and sling options.

I am so confident with this bag, that me and my wife tossed it back and forth a couple times from ~5 feet away, just to see if there is any movement of the camera inside. Both of us are convinced it is a secure, snug fit. Add in 1000D Cordura on the outside, and this bag is as rugged as you can get in a soft sided camera bag! I would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a camera bag for the outdoors, instead of a hard-case like Pelican.

Honest reviews on Forward Observer(TM) SLR Padded Camera Bag w/ MOLLE by Hazard 4(R)

I got this bag to carry around my Rebel T3 camera while I am deployed to Afghanistan. The padding on the sides of the bag has saved my precious camera from the rough wear and tear of a combat zone on more than one occasion. Furthermore, the top portion of the bag is perfect for holding additional SD cards and my voice recorder. Finally, the way that the opening is designed, it opens away from you which, keeps all of your stuff from accidentally falling out of the bag; ingenious. I would recommend this bag to anyone who is deploying to a warzone as a combat cameraman or reporter. The only negative to this bag is its bulkiness but that is to be expected in a padded bag.

Genius idea about all the D-Rings and molle. If you want to mount this in your vehicle you the options are limitless.

The top is constructed with a multilayer divider and you can place a ton of SD Cards ,Cleaning supplies.

The molle is perfectly sewn with correct spacing between each loop. Grimlocs with be your friend if you wanted to mount this to a larger molle item. There is no molle attachment webbing for you to mount this item sewn on the bag,you will need to use 550 Cord or Grimlocs to mount.

I recently purchased a Nanuk 925 case with foam and I could not be more pleased. Being that I have been a die hard customer of Pelican for many many years I was very skeptical of what I might be getting myself into. However, after looking at the specs of these cases and style I thought I would give it a try. Well, let me say these cases blow away Pelican. First off the latches are incredibly easy to use and I can open them with one hand. The handle also folds down which I never really thought about until I did it and I was able to fit the case in a storage compartment in my closet. Also the case is simply much better looking. I have invested a lot of energy into making a decent presentation when I show up for a job and these cases just look better and I can stack them! I opted for the case with foam that is basically the same as all the other cases I have ever gotten with foam inserts.

Consider me converted.

I often take my camera out on my boat during the summer months and needed a case that could withstand the water and moisture on a daily bases. While at my local Camera store I ran across the Nanuk cases. You might wonder why I did not go with Pelican, the answer was simple, I broke my nail trying to latch the case. Really! The case has worked out perfect and the latches are a dream.

I believe this case exceeds its rival Pelican! GREAT price! The whole case is very sturdy and the latches are great! I am using this for camera equipment--a camera body, grip, 3 lenses (including a 70-200mm), and Speedlight. In the 925, if laid out right, you can fit those with plenty of padding. I was lucky to get this on the Black Friday event and paid even less! (LUCKY ME!) I would purchase again though at full price. High recommended!

Honest reviews on Nanuk 925 Case with Cubed Foam -Black

I ran out of room in my Pelican 1510 and I was looking for something to hold my manual focus lenses and other pieces of gear. Pelican cases are expensive and I was looking to do a little better cost wise. I found Nanuk, which I had never heard of before, via the internets.

The Nanuk 925 case is similar to Pelican in features, with a few differences: The latches are of a better design, they will probably save your gear if they open somehow during a fall since they have an extra "safety" on them--even if latch pops, the case won't fall open. The handle folds into a locked position which is nice. Plastic seems softer but not sure if it is weaker. This case does NOT have the metal lock reinforcements like my Pelican. The padded dividers have less padding. The overall "outline" of the dividers is just as thick--sides and bottom--but the individual dividers are thinner. The divider system is much more customizable than the Pelican's due to the fact that the entire bottom has velcro and there are more/different sizes of dividers. However, the dividers, while better, are still not perfect. Two of the long ones only have velcro on one side and thus the case is not as customizable as it could be...

I shoot Pentax and I was able to fit the following gear in the Nanuk 925: Pentax DA 14mm f 2.8 w/hood, Sigma 28mm f1.8 w/hood, Pentax A 28mm f2.8, Pentax FA 35mm f2 w/hood, Pentax FA 50 f1.4, Pentax F 35-70 f3.5-4.5, Pentax DA 18-55 f4-5.6 AL II w/hood, Tamron 28-105 f4-5.6 w/hood, Pentax A 70-210 f4, Metz AF-58 Flash w/case, Pentax 28mm lens hood w/case, Hoya 49mm ND8 filter w/case.

That amount of gear filled the thing and I had two of the small dividers left over. I set it up as seen in the photos except I used the small dividers to sub divide the top right compartment into 3 sections for the 18-55 and 28-105 zooms and the 28mm lens hood and the bottom right section into one long portion for the 70-210 zoom and the hoya filter.

The 925 is about the size of a regular, full-size briefcase in all dimensions. This means you have little depth for larger lenses. In other words, you will have to lay the longer glass on its side. In my configuration all of the short glass was stuck in vertically with the exception of the 70-210 zoom. The flash also was placed on its side. I do not believe you could put a DSLR with grip in this standing up, it would have to lay on its back and thus take up more room. A DSLR without a grip/battery pack (Pentax k100d, k20d) would fit standing up. To compare, the Pelican 1510 is much deeper and you can put some telephotos in it straight up--I have a Takumar 200mm f4 and a Pentax FA 100-300 f4.7 in that case and they fit straight up and down, my k20d DSLR also fits in there with grip straight up as well.

Clearly, Nanuk is just as high quality as the Pelican, with some additional improvements. Their prices seem a bit more reasonable and they have sales--which I never find with Pelican. I like this case, but as always I wish I would have got a bigger one!

This is the kind of case that was popular in the old days of the 35 mm film camera, where the shape of the case closely conforms to the shape of the camera, so that it is as compact as possible. It is called a "ever-ready" case because the camera stored inside the case can be put into action quickly.

I like this Sony LCJ-HL/B Jacket Case for the DSC-HX300 camera because it is very compact, comes with a very secure hand strap, and is made of a nice, man-made, leather-like material. You can loop the case and the hand strap together, so that the case can hang "in the air" while you take pictures with your camera. I do caution that if you use the hand strap instead of the neck strap, putting in or taking out the camera should be done close to a tabletop, or somewhere there is support, so that you do not accidentally drop the camera, before you have a chance to put your hand through the hand strap. A more secure way is to always loop your hand through the hand strap BEFORE putting in or taking out the camera.

The hand strap is attached to the camera via two points: the screw-in tripod socket and the right strap ringlet. The bottom of the screw is threaded, so that you can mount the camera/hand strap/case on a tripod without removing the hand strap.

If you need to throw your HX300 camera into a suitcase or travel bag, this case will protect your camera while taking up as little space as possible.

As indicated on the case box, this case is compatible with Sony HX300, HX200V, and HX200.

Update: I just noticed the case box has an illustration of how the neck strap and the hand strap can be attached to the HX300 AT THE SAME TIME, so that you can choose the best method to hold the camera for a particular moment.

After some months, I've realized that I use this cover 95% of the times.

I had another case (LowePro Edit 110) which allows me to carrry some accesories (batteries, filters, charger etc) but it is significantly bigger, so this one although a little bit more expensive makes sense for daily use.

Elegant (looks like leather) and with the perfect size (just for the camera).

Only problem is that as I have my tripod quick release device attached to my camera, I'm not using the provided attachment (that comes with the case).

This case was exactly what I was looking for. The leather seems like it's great quality and I feel much safer throwing my camera in any purse or bag with this instead of having to lug around another camera bag.

Honest reviews on Sony LCJ-HL/B Jacket Case for the DSC-HX300 (Black)

Most of the time I am not using my camera it is stored on a shelf, so the case is pointless. On long trips however the extra protection is appreciated. I like knowing the camera is covered/safe to protect it from drops, hits, etc. But when it is being used for a long period of time it is in my hand, and the case just sits idle. It would be nice if there was some provision on the case to attach it to your pants/belt since it does not collapse and then you have this big molded case that you have to lug around somehow... sort of a PITA.....

The strap is great. Neck straps scream 'tourist' and just don't work that well for me. However, the hand-strap is really nice as it gives a sense of firmness and security when holding the camera. Really happy with it--Sony as always makes a great quality product.

finally got the case. Wonderful addition to the HX 300. Excellent product. Easy to use. Open the velcro cover and the camera is exposed. Slip your hand into the grip and start taking pictures. Couldn't be easier. Also can be used with tripod with out removing the case.

Customer Ratings:

This bag gives a wonderfully snug fit for my Nikon D90 and attached 18-55mm VR lens. It cradles the camera perfectly. And there is more than enough room left at the top, above the camera, to accommodate the camera's shoulder strap.

That said, the 18-55mm VR lens is among the shortest of Nikon's standard zooms. It's 3.1 inches long -a tad shorter than the 16-85mm VR (which is 3.4 inches long), and the 18-105mm VR (which is 3.5 inches long). What about them? Don't worry, this bag WILL accommodate those lenses as well. It just requires that you fold the shoulder strap a bit more carefully to fit it in.

What about the 18-200mm VR? It's 3.8 inches long, and I think that's just a tad too long to fit neatly in the bag. I haven't tried it myself (I don't own an 18-200), so who knows, perhaps it would work. But it would definitely require a bit of pushing and pressure on the zipper, I think. Those with the 18-200 are advised to get a slightly larger bag.

So, I'd give this thing five stars for the fit and construction. Why deduct a star? As others have noted, it doesn't have enough (or spacious enough) pockets; and even worse, the outer pocket, while tight, has no seal or flap over it, which means that it's potentially exposed to the elements. Since all my photography takes place indoors in museums, this isn't a problem for me. But I image that outdoors enthusiasts caught in a storm would be irked to find water getting into the outer pocket....

This case fits my Canon Digital Rebel XSi with the stock 18-55mm zoom lens, so it's always ready to grab and go. It has plenty of cushioning and a good zipper. The blue is nice too, I'm tired of everything electronic being black.

This case works great with my Nikon D40 / 18-135mm lens. There's actually a little bit of room to spare on the sides of the case, for filters, etc. I like the design of the bag, it looks sleek and is small enough to take anywhere.

My one complaint is that there aren't enough pockets. There are only two; one in the inside of the case's main flap, large enough for a shutter remote, a couple of SD cards or... well, that's about it. There is also another one on the outside of the case (behind the emblem). I only use this for my cell phone / ipod, things like that. I would like to see a couple more USEABLE pockets in the sucker. It'd be nice to be able to organize basic accessories a bit more without having to buy a huge or expensive bag.

For a basic, everyday, grab and go bag, it does the trick.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Cirrus TLZ 15 Holster Style Case For Digital SLR & Short

When I say 'snug fit' I mean that in a good way. I dont really care to have the camera move around very much at all in the bag. (And it doesnt, at all...)

The pocket on the front (behind the Lowepro logo) is really bigger than I had imagined from reading the reviews on here. You can put remotes, extra batteries, etc in there. I also put the camera strap in there. I don't really like to have the camera strap on the camera and only use it at certain times. the strap can be folded in alongside the camera with no problem inside the main compartment as well if that's what you prefer. (I really wish the stock Canon strap was easier to get on and off the camera.)

Overall seems well built and stitched. Ample padding. Great buy for the money IMHO.

After having recently bought a new DSLR camera, I was in major need of a bag that would keep it safe and secure for photo walks and travels, yet didn't [mistakenly] look like I was carrying a nuclear explosive inside. Something that could be worn on the shoulder/across the chest, without causing 2" thick red marks in the dents between my shoulder and neck, while bouncing heavily against my hip.

The big named electronic and camera stores all carried types similar to what I was attempting to avoid. And expensive, to boot.

I'm a sucker for reviews, and read them like they are novels of their own and the ones for this, entranced me into their happy stories of success. So, I won't add on too much redundnacy to my review, other than if you have a Canon EOS Rebel XS with its kit lens (and probably XSi as they have essentially the same body type), this bag is the perfect fit for your camera with the original neck strap and a couple of memory cards. The adjustable strap of the bag is excellent, and allows you to wear it across your chest, low and comfortably.

If you don't want your camera to be placed into a bag with the lens facing down, then I obviously don't recommend this item. There isn't any extra padding on the bottom of the bag just the same, thick padding all around (although it is sufficient enough for "regular" use which to me means walking around, placing on a table or in the car).

Shipping time was super speedy! It was noted to expect it about five days after I actually did receive it excellent!
