I am very happy with this camera case. I have a Cannon Elph and this fits snug into the case. I would not recommend for those with large or wide point and shoot cameras. I appreciate that I can wear it around my neck for easy accessibility. This is not a toy, but a sturdy and useful case. It does not look cheap, guady or like only children should have it. I am 27 and I am a big fan of Hello Kitty and this camera case.

This case fits my Panasonic ZR1 perfectly. I wish the outside pocket had a little more room, so I could fit the battery charger in it. All in all, the camera section is well padded, and the shoulder strap is fully adjustable. It is a welcome addition for my frequent travel, and the price point was perfect! Thank you, Amazon and Adorama.

it is not soft, probably to protect the camera very much, but i actually bought it as a small handbag to put my wallet, mobile, keys, glasses, and additional mobile battery, mobile headset, so many things to be inserted inside my jeans pocket, so i decide to buy something small from Samsonite, and i found this one, it fit, but hard to manage, because i think its purpose to protect the camera, not to hold stuff like mine, to be fare it deserve five stars for its purpose, but for my purpose its only four stars, i couldn't find something else actually

My wife calls me the Imelda Marcos of camera bags. I have so many cluttering ManLand because I could not find the perfect bag. Then I saw this one in a local camera store. It has everything I need for my sometimes extensive business travel space for my laptop, work papers, my iPad, and for my camera(s) and lenses. A famous photographer once stated, "I always carry a camera with me. It's hard to shoot photographs without it." That's me I have a camera with me at all times, even commuting to and from work. This bag makes it easy with the 12 padded sections in the main compartment. I've customized it to be able to carry my Nikon D300s, it's battery pack, three lenses, My filter pouch and step down adapter rings, and a wireless remote shutter release. Now I carry everything in one bag and it is compact enough to fit in the overhead bins on planes. Remember that local camera store I mentioned? They were asking well over $350 for this bag. Glad I waited to shop online I paid a little over $200 on Amazon. Now I can advertise my Tamracs and National Geographic bags on eBay!!!

It has enough room for my camera, lenses and accessories with room to grow and I can slip the laptop in with no problems.

Over all a great buy.

I'm not really sure how much you can rave about a controller skin, other than to say it does it's job. As noted in a previous review, the skin does not look like the ones pictured. The one I received had ten rows of knobs that run long the face and back where the palms, finger, and pad of the thumb cradle the controller. I actually like this better because it has the added benefits of increasing grip, reducing condensation, and adding just a little more padding.

So, for functional purposes, the skin does what its supposed it. I find it a little easier to play for longer periods without getting uncomfortable, and that's really the only reason I bought this.

From a cosmetic perspective, the skin looks fine. I got the smoke, and I think it works nicely without being over the top. The knobs do break up the otherwise clean lines of the controller, so if you're a fanatic about smooth lines then this might not be the skin for you. That being said, the knobs are actually quite small, and you'd be hard pressed to notice them until you're up close.

Getting it on was simple enough, took a few minutes to adjust and center it. It would be nice if the fit were just a tad tighter, as it tends to have a little more slip than I'd like. However, it doesn't slop around, so no big deal there.

I've had this on my controller for about six months now, and it's holding up well. It hasn't stretched out, no tears, and it's still remarkably clean (I was afraid it would get all gunky and require cleaning, but no such problems).

If you want a little extra comfort, I'd recommend the product. Also, if you have to deal with multiple controllers and you want to mark one as yours, this is a great way to do it.

i found a controller skin at a target not too long ago when i first got my xbox 360. it was green and the last one there. i asked when they would get more and no one knew. so i looked up skins online and found this page. the skins you get in the mail are not the ones in the pictures. the pictured ones are a different brand, the one i found at target. this skin is cheap and looks completely different than as advertised. it already almost ripped when i was putting it on the controller, while the first one i got slipped on easliy. I am very dissappointed and will probably never order from amazon again.

After some extensive research and try-ons, Case Logic SLRC-205 Camera Sling Bag is my current favorite bag to carry my small DSLR (Olympus E-620) and two lenses (one attached to the body).

Case Logic must have a great design team that cares. They seem to put a lot of attention on the design that not only looks good, but also very utilitarian. They keep improving the holder for the camera body with a lens attached in their camera back, the latest hammock design exhibits that. It's a very simple design that will suit various camera configuration. Such effort deserve to be praised.

It's a pleasure to carry this bag. Weight distribution of a sling bag is crucial, as the load is stressed on one shoulder (in this case, left, and there's no right shoulder option as noted by another reviewer). However, Case Logic SLRC-205 feels like feather when I put it on me with the bag fully loaded (~5 lbs. of equipment).

In the main compartment, I have put an Olympus E-620 (around the size of Canon XSi/T1i) with Zuiko 14-45mm II (3.5" long, 3" diam.) attached with hood reversed. It still has some room at the bottom to store my 50mm macro lens if desired. However, I squeezed my Giottos large rocket Blower Giottos in. It's a tight fit for that configuration. A larger camera body may have a hard time getting in without removing the neck strap. I had the quick release plate of my tripod attached to the bottom of the camera and it's a tight fit, but no problem. There is no problem in term of horizontal space.

In the extra lens pocket I was able to put a Zuiko 50-200mm in (6 1/4" long, 3.5" diam.) with its gigantic hood reversed and tripod holder attached, which makes it around 5 1/4" wide, and the pocket still has some room to spare. The nice little touch about that pocket is it has an elastic band near the bottom. I forgot to zip the bag up once, after I changed my lens, and that elastic band held the lens closer to the bag, saved my precious lens from an irreversible disaster (though a smaller lens might have felt through, so don't bet your life on it, but it's a nice contingency design).

There is also a spare pocket for small things like memory cards, battery and trinkets (I also put lens cleaning pens inside). It is more accessible than the side pocket, which is blocked by the tripod holder. My other gripe about that side pocket is it's not deep enough for a standard novel-size camera manual. I just wish there is one non-flat type pocket dedicated for larger item such as the rocket blower, and some pen holders for my lens pens. A cellphone/iPod holder on the shoulder strap would be a nice touch.

There is a filter pocket! I love the design team. They were able to squeeze so many features in a compact bag, and all except the side pocket mentioned are readily accessible when you swing the back to the front, without having to take the bag off (which is the shortcoming of a backpack style bag). The two filter nets inside it hold 67mm filters fine, though the smaller one is better suited for a 58mm filter.

The tripod holder is wonderful. I have a full-size aluminum tripod (Dolica 62" Proline with Ballhead) retracted and stored in its dedicated tripod bag. Using the two Velcro closure, the tripod was piggybacked onto the back and doesn't shift around. The tripod is longer than the sling so I won't carry a tripod that way to a crowded place. However it's nice to free your hand if you're hiking.

The shoulder strap is very comfortable and well padded. The length control is a bit weird. Instead of that plastic thing you would loop around twice, you pull the extra strap to the desired length and then roll it up like an omelet, then fasten it with a Velcro strap. I prefer the traditional plastic loop (when done right, the loop is actually more secure).

The interior padding is okay only. It's not super thick, but should be okay for minor impact. The part I'm more worried about is the spare lens pocket, as it's more exposed. Main compartment should endure concoction more. The interior material is made of high quality nylon. It feels smooth and I don't believe it'll scratch the equipment (just don't rub the lens glass with it).

There are handles tactically placed. I don't feel the content will fall out when using them. While the zippers secure the bags well, but the main compartment's zipper could be smoother when zipped around the corner.

Minor gripe. Though Case Logic team deserves the recognition, but I wish the logo can be a little more low profile. It's not gigantic or hideous, but when I see the sunshine logo, I know who made the bag already. The way it is put now, it looks like a camera bag, which is not something I like to flaunt about (i.e., rob me!). I also wish the side pocket and the main compartment have a more joint look, so it looks more like a regular sling bag. As of now, the main compartment looks alarmingly like a camera holster.... A discreet, understated design is the best attention grabber.

Overall, it's a very well-designed bag for a small DSLR with two lenses. Importantly, it is in a compact design with good ergonomics and holds all the crucial items. I just wish Case Logic design team could add one more pocket for lens cleaning supply, or perhaps one pocket for iPod/cellphone on the shoulder strap. Case Logic team deserves the praise.

Pros:

Holds many gears in a small package

Good built material

Holds weight but doesn't weigh down

Well thought-out design perks

Very accessible pockets

Excellent value

Cons:

Needs one more pocket for non-flat items

Exterior design could be slightly more discreet

No pocket for camera manual

Hi Everyone,

So, my wife and I are wedding photographers. We've been looking for a good bag for quite a while to carry our camera & lenses. We've checked out the other major brands (including crumpler) and many of the more popular choices ... and then as came across this one (the case logic SLR sling).

I have to say, we really love it. So, to point out a few good things:

1 It looks pretty good and doesn't scream 'camera in here!' (good when traveling)

2 It can easily hold 3 lenses at a time, including the Canon 70-200 2.8L IS. The 70-200 can actually fit in the main compartment with another smaller lens (like the 135 f2 or the 100mm 2.8 macro) or it can fit alone in the extra top compartment with the hood on backwards! To clarify even more, the 135 + 70-200 with hoods on can fit in the main compartment without a problem (it is tight though, but tight is good). Oh, one last note here it can hold 4 lenses if packing smartly 70-200 + 135 in main compartment and 14mm 2.8L + 50mm 1.2L in the top compartment.

3 It works as intended. The sling capability (the ability to bring it to your front) is invaluable. It makes is -veryeasy to get out the lens you want without taking off the pack AND it can make you feel secure in areas where you want to keep an eye out for pickpockets.

4 The quick release clip on the front is just great hands down, great. If you are just getting to a location, an event is about to happen, you can quickly release the pack, place it on the ground, and be shooting within seconds.

5 The material is very nice and breathable.

6 The extra small compartments for cards, etc, are very handy. We found ourselves putting keys/memory cards up front and putting more sensitive items behind the tripod strap (which works very well).

Hands down, we'd recommend this.

Downside: We had ours altered as we are too small for it to fit. We just had the strap moved up where it connects over the chest. Fits like a charm now. Cost us all of $7.

Quick last note for nearly any lens combination, the bag could fit at least three. Such as the 24-70 2.8L + 85 1.2L. We found ourselves putting one lens below the camera holder/sling inside and one above so that they did not hit each other. And then we'd just have 1-2 lenses in the extra compartment. If you want to store your camera in the bag, a 5D Mk II + 24-70, 85 1.2, 100 2.8, 135 2.0, ... etc fit in the middle compartment without a problem. In fact, we could fit the 5D Mk II + 24-70 (hood backwards) in the middle compartment (not using the internal sling type device) and still have room to put a 580 EX II flash ontop of it. The only lens that doesn't fit with the camera body attached would be the 70-200 2.8L IS or any lens of that length.

For us, we are able to carry 5 lenses, 2 580 EX II's, and a 430 EX II with radio popper stand in two bags at once.

Highly recommended and also highly recommended to have the strap altered so that the bag fits you properly. Otherwise, it can be a waste of money unless you are 6'5".

Edit: I should say that we just got back from a 2 week trip for a destination wedding in Europe and these bags were invaluable. We kept our passport, IDs, cash & cards in the inner pocket behind the tripod strap and had no problem. In busy areas, we just slung them around for a bit more security. They were comfortable to wear the entire trip without a problem and carried all the lenses + flashes + tripod + modifiers we needed for the wedding. For just sight seeing, etc, they still held everything we needed (had room to even carry personal items with us, like water, etc).

I spent a lot of time researching sling-style DSLR cases and this is by far the best I have seen. I've owned one for a few months already and I have no complaints.

Comfort adjustable, padded strap allows the bag to wrap around your torso for a comfortable fit. Sometimes I even forget that it's there. I cannot say the same for the boxy-style camera bags, they just feel out of palce.

Storage The main compartment has the hammock suspension system, which I think offers good restraint and easy access to your camera: just unzip the top cover and reach for the camera. The compartment is deep enough to fit a super-tele lens attached to the body, or an attached medium sized prime with room at the bottom for another lens. Another compartment has room for two more medium sized lenses or a lens and a charger. A few more zippered pockets offer room for small gadgets like wireless remote control, USB card reader, some filters, lens cleaning gear.

Protection there's enough padding to keep your toys safe, though I wouldn't get on crowded bus with it.

Style This is the only case I have seen that actually looks great, and not really like a camera bag bonus points for that; last thing you want is to advertise your stash of expensive toys.

Worth mentioning a hook and loop tripod holder; pretty useful for a light tripod, though the bag will get heavy if you're going on a long hike. Build quality is good, feels like money worth spending.

Kudos to the designer of this case.

Honest reviews on Case Logic SLRC-205 SLR Camera Sling (Black)

I spent days looking for a sling bag before I bought this one. I travel light, but have a Canon 5D, plus a 28-135mm lens and a 70-300mm telephoto lens. I wanted a sling pack to slide my small amount of other personal stuff into while traveling in (potentially shady) areas (and non-shady ones).

Verdict: I love this bag. It is so awesome. The hammock is so cool. But there are some other things to consider:

1. It is going to be very annoying to constantly stop, slide the bag around and take photos. The bag needs some breaking in at the beginning; it is very stiff (and that is a GOOD thing). If buying it for a vacation, take it out for a romp BEFORE your trip to soften it up and get used to the maneuvers required to load and unload your camera. I only say that because it has an usual design.

2. The height of my 5D (from the bottom, set down, to the top near where the flash module would hook into) seems uncomfortable fit-wise into the hammock compartment. I am not sure if an EOS 1or 5D with one of those battery pack grippers would be able to fit into this compartment. My 5d JUST fits. However, a camera with a full telephoto lens might fit in here without disassembly. There is a lot of space in the hammock for a longer lens than my 28-135mm lens.

3. In order to use this, it is really optimal to remove any other protection: ie, camera armor (which I had) and the strap. To keep the strap on while storing the camera in the bag is to add serious and repetitive frustration to your life when you unloadand load the camera back into the bag. There is just not space for the strap in the compartment.

4. There is limited space for much else if you have a telephoto & default lens. The small side pocket has space for my mini tripod, my folded strap and a few lens caps. The flat pocket over the camera hammock fits something flat, like a manual and some papers or whatever. There are a few other nooks and crannies but don't expect this to double as a backpack for personal items if you have a lot of stuff. It will fit a camera, a manual, a mini tripod, some other various doo-dads, 2 lenses (one on, one off), and a small variety of whatever else.

Regardless of the above items, I think this is a fantastic bag and is totally worth the money. I hope it lasts long enough to carry my camera to the Southwestern USA, Denmark, Norway, Bermuda and throughout my winter of snowshoeing and winter sports! The padding is awesome and it is very sturdy. When this bag dies, I hope I can buy another one. Perfect for an on-the-go photographer.

Recently my wife and I were traveling abroad for 3 weeks and I needed a bag to carry some of my camera equipment around with me. I didn't want a full on backpack and a fanny pack was out of the questions. Shoulder bags just looked silly for some reason and I found this bag and the Incase DSLR Sling Pack in Black CL58032. I ordered both as I felt like I needed to see them in person to really decide.

They both go on the same way (one should strap that goes on across your body) and fit just fine. The incase bag was much larger and looked like it would be holding expensive things inside. One of the things I wanted was for this bag to be pretty unassuming I didn't want to announce to everyone I have a few thousand dollars of camera equipment inside. Both bags were also very well built.

The case logic bag has a very breathable material on the back which made it very comfortable to wear for 10 hours straight when walking around and hiking. To get access to the camera you don't have to take the bag off, it just slides around and opens up to the camera 'hammock' which is great. The two side pockets are also very easy to get to in this position and I keep an extra lens or two in there along with batteries and memory cards. When you are just walking around you also have access to a small pocket in the strap which I keep a cloth in.

To give you an idea of what I can fit in this, I usually carried:

Nikon d5100

Nikon 18-105 lens

Nikon 35mm lens

Tokina 11-16 lens

Spare battery

Spare memory card

WhiBal card

Cleaning brush

Cleaning cloth

Sometimes a gorilla tripod

I don't think there was ever a time where I wished it was bigger or smaller it always seemed to be the perfect size for what I needed.

I ended up returning the incase bag and keeping this one. If you need something slightly larger then the incase may be for you.

Highly recommended.

You MUST toss the silly plastic viewfinder cover that comes with your Nikon and apply an InvisibleShield. The optical quality is far superior, and these things are bulletproof. I've used them for years on phones, GPS receivers, and all kinds of cameras, and never had one fail me. I am clumsy and rough on my gear. Applying an InvisibleShield is the first thing I do with any new electronic device with a screen.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Lowepro is one of the big names in protective camera and video gear for professional and enthusiast photographers. (Something you probably already know if you're reading this review.) :-) This product, the Lowepro LP36358 Scope Photo 350 AW Travel and Field Photo/Optics Backpack, is at the top of their wide and diverse line for a backpack to take on a photographic hike/field trip/event. Below are my impressions and opinions.

It's fairly large ... not as big as a camping backpack but comfortably larger than most schoolbook backpacks. It weighs about 4 1/2 pounds, most of which seems to be padding and support. While this may sound like a lot, it's not ... it's purpose is to protect your delicate gear and to be comfortable to wear over the long haul. If you fully load this with your camera gear, a laptop, and assorted sundries, you're going to be adding a lot more than 4 1/2 pounds into it, so the weight is relative and comfort/protection paramount.

It can hold a lot of camera gear. On the exterior are two flip out pieces that you can use to secure a large tripod. In the zippered "camera gear" section are 5 padded, secured modular compartments that can hold anything ranging in size from a spotting scope to a DSLR to various bits and pieces of gear. (And two of the compartments can be be subdivided to hold two items each rather than one, so you can actually safely secure seven things.) The compartments are velcro-attached to both each other and the backpack itself. You can easily remove compartments that you don't need in order to free up space for other things.

There are two other separate, zippered sections in the backpack ... one well padded compartment, at the back, will hold a laptop up to 15.6 inches. My 15.6 inch laptop fit nicely albeit a tiny bit snugly, but my 17 inch laptop did not (not that I'd ever want to carry that monster around on a nature photo hike). There are three straps in this compartment to help secure your laptop. The other zippered section, at the front, has several pouches and a snap (to hang keys), papers, field notebooks, cell phone, etc. (There are also a couple more pouches to hold things on the "front" of the camera compartment.)

I found the backpack to be extremely comfortable and well balanced between the shoulders and waist when wearing it. The backpad is well padded as are the shoulder straps and waistbelt. I had no trouble adjusting the straps for a comfortable fit, and found it will fit a husky guy. I have a 42 inch waist, and I still had a few more inches of play in the belt. My wife, however, is short (5 feet tall) was not able to get as good a fit as I did, although it was still wearable for her. So if you're about her height, you may want to try it on for size before buying.

It is loaded with clever and helpful features. For example, the chest strap has a whistle built into it. The backpack's material feels somewhat rain-resistant, but there is a rainproof cover in a pouch at the bottom of the backpack that you can pull-over the portions of the backpack not actually against your back to keep everything dry. There are cloth loops on the belt pad that you can use to secure the loose belt ends rather than having them flap all day. There is an external pocket for a water bottle. The backpad has mesh for breathability. And so on ...

What this backpack is not: It is not a camping backpack. It has room for your camera gear, a laptop, a few notebooks, and some miscellaneous items. While you could carry less camera gear to make more room for other things, it really isn't sized or shaped for carrying camping gear. It's not really a text book-and-laptop backpack for college, either, as it's a little on the large size for that role. This backpack is an extremely well designed and built system for carrying a good quantity of sensitive, reasonably delicate, expensive gear around in most any environment.

The only question on this backpack comes down to price. There are a lot of cheaper camera/video backpacks out there, including many made by Lowepro itself. However, this backpack is clearly superior to the less expensive ones I've owned. I guess in my mind it comes down a car analogy. Do you want to drive a midsize car that does most things fairly well at a relatively cheaper cost, or do you want a luxury car that does almost everything very well, although at a higher price. If you have a lot of expensive camera or video gear and you're serious about outdoor or event photography and want to be able to carry/protect that gear, this is a backpack you should seriously consider. If you just have a point-and-shoot digital camera and want to take pictures on a short walk in the woods, you'd be better served buying something cheaper.

But I'm very pleased with this backpack. Outside of it not fitting my wife as well as it does me, I haven't found any negatives. It's well designed, built of good quality materials, carefully constructed, and does what it's supposed to do. Five stars.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I must say I am very impressed with this bag.

First of all, it is very well made. Great stitching, strong, smooth zippers. Just all very nicely done.

It is very good looking, neat and tidy, a bag a man or woman would be happy to use.

The design is great and I must say I spent a few minutes admiring all the features. I love that you can configure the main compartment to fit how you want to use it and what equipment you are carrying. It has a great rain cover that fit neatly in a bottom compartment and a great bottom pocket/top strap combo to carry a tripod on the outside of the bag very securely. And beside the big main compartment you have the smaller front one with all sorts of pockets to carry everything from a laptop to a pen, batteries, memory cards or a snack. And it is very comfortable, with a lot of ability to adjust to how you like to wear it.

I can not say that I did any sort of test, like throwing it fully loaded down a hill, but it seems to offer a great deal of protection and still maintain a very reasonable weight and with a top and side handle is very easy to handle

Best Deals for Lowepro Scope Photo Travel 350 AW Backpack

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Lowepro Scope Photo Travel(tm) 350 AW camera/optics backpack is everything I expected, and much more! Lowepro has always made high quality camera bags, and this professional backpack is no exception. Attention to detail and build quality are top tier; you'd be hard pressed to find anything better even among the boutique items. All of the seams are even and tight, the zippers are strong, oversized for durability, and work smooth as butter.

Comfort? Holy Guacamole, Avocado Man! Just like all my other Lowepro bags, the straps are so comfortable you can trek through the wilderness all day long and not be bothered. I loaded this bag down with my Nikon D300, a couple telephoto lenses, a spotting scope, hotshoe flash, and a bunch of accessories. Everything was held securely in place, and the seperate velcro enclosed compartments within the main storage area made sure everything stayed in place, even when opening the bag from an upright position. Well done Lowepro! Even with all that weight on my back, it just doesn't feel fatiguing at all, due to the ample soft padding on the straps.

There is room for all kinds of accessories, from a slot for a laptop computer, to tons of pockets for everything from field guides, light meters, batteries, memory cards, keys, flashlight, multi-tool, and still yet you can count on having a place to strap your tripod on too! The nylon exterior is very durable, and the padded compartments are among the best I've seen. It would take a lot to damage anything in this bag, along the lines of extraordinary circumstances.

One thing I really love is the holder for the super-telephoto lens. It only opens halfway down, and sewn closed on the bottom half. This means you can open the bag in an upright position and not worry about your DSLR and $10k optics going tumbling out onto the ground. This is a huge, huge benefit with this backpack, something that gives the photographer a lot more peace of mind when trying to access their gear in a hurry.

There is even Lowepro's famous rain cover built into the bottom of this backpack, so if the weather starts getting ugly, you won't have to worry about your gear getting wet. Lowepro really thought of it all with this bag, it is an excellent solution to the needs of the professional nature/wildlife photographer.

Try as I might, I just can't find anything to ridicule about this bag. It's built to last, of Lowepro's high quality standards. Exceptionally well thought out and designed for its purpose. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Scope Photo Travel 350 AW Backpack

My husband just got into photography and birding...this gear fits all his tools, Digital SLR EOS Camera, Lenses, extra camera, Digiscope, Tripod, maps, etc...Well padded and very nicely made with lots of pockets. Of course, we hike with it during birding trips and is comfortable enough for 3-4 mile hikes so far. Expensive but better than the traditional camera bags.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am on the short side (5'4"), and this bag was pretty big on me. More specifically, the "handle" part on the top of the bag digs into my neck because it just hits me too high. (My husband is 5'7" and he did not have this issue.) So, I either have to deal with the bag digging into my neck or loosen it quite a bit. I like wearing packs a bit tighter, but I just can't on this one.

It is heavy without anything in it. Lots of padding, which is great. Much of the padding in the middle compartment can be taken out if you aren't using it. (Or you can take it out with your stuff inside, should you need said stuff out of the bag, but still want some protection.) It has room for absolutely everything. I do wish there was a little more space in it for, say, snacks or extra drinks. Most of the space is used up in that middle compartment with all the camera and lens padded areas. There is very little room in the largest zippered area, but it is big enough for your laptop, tablet, or e-reader. The front pouch has room for your phone (padded), keys, glasses, pens, etc. There is one drink holder pocket on one side.

I like the protection for my expensive stuff. Plenty of places to put camera and accessories. I just wish it fit better and had room for practical items, not just the expensive toys.

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

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

Areas to improve:

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

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

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

Hope this helps...

Best Deals for Jill-E Medium Leather Camera bag

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

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

If we could return it we would.

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

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

Honest reviews on Jill-E Medium Leather Camera bag

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

I needed a camera bag for my corporate, commercial and event photography and the Medium bag fills the bill to a "T"! It is flexible, travels well from coast to coast and handles the weight with ease. I've been shooting for 25 years, owned many many different types from LowePros to Tamarac, to pelican cases, etc and this one says "ME!" No one will have this bag at an event I shoot so no one can pick it up by mistake! Hee, HEE, Heee! I love it!

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This case is almost perfect for my camera. I have a Nikon Coolpix s220 and it fits in the big pocket very well. I can fit an extra memory card, in it's plastic case, and a screen wipe in the outer pocket with plenty of room to spare. Solid construction and good materials on this case. The only thing I would wish for is for it to be a little thinner, so I guess make the second pocket a little smaller. But there are other cases for that I guess. I am a guy, so I have rather large pockets, and it fits in the back ones comfortably most of the time.

I purchased this case to house a JUST MOBILE GUM PRO POWER PACK HIGH CAPACITY 4400 MAH USB. The case is very rugged, all of the stitching is perfect, no issues with the fabric or its construction. It's true it doesn't have o-rings for the clips but I added my own metal ones for $0.10 and they work beautifully (and are better quality than plastic rings).

The large pocket is lined with a soft fleece like material, perfect to keep items scratch free, the front pocket has a mesh retainer for small items.

I initially thought it was expensive for the size but am very impressed with it. It fits the GUM Pro Power Pack, its power cable, an iPhone cable, earbuds, and there is still room for my Jawbone and its cables.

I would definitely purchase other LowePro cases based on this one and its construction.

This camera case is the perfect size for my compact digital camera. I was a bit concerned about the length of the shoulder strap after reading a review saying it was too short. It's perfect for me though, and I carry it slung across the opposite shoulder so it won't slide. The case is well padded. I'm very happy with this product!

Honest reviews on Lowepro Spectrum 10 Camera Case (Black)

The order page says I got this back in March, 2010, so it's going on 2 years of constant usage. I'm getting another one, as the material around the zipper is fraying and getting stuck in the zipper. Otherwise, the case is in very good shape. I use it as an assorted plastic card holder, so it's on my person every day, and generally gets daily zipping and unzipping.

I got this case recently and was a little disappointed for two reasons. One, there are no plastic rings to attach the shoulder straps to for free movement of the strap clip. Instead, a short loop of strap material is where the strap clips attach to. This doesn't allow complete freedom of movement of the strap clip and it binds somewhat. Also, the case was a little defective looking in that the fabric wasn't accurately proportioned-not that big a deal because it's still functional. Funny thing, the cheaper case that Lowe Pro has does have the plastic rings but I didn't want it because it didn't have a nice sized zipper pocket for an extra battery etc. Instead it had velcro. I had a Lowe Pro case before I was very happy with it. It was very durable and I think this one will be too.

The item I received was scuffed, stained, and had a stuck zipper. This was supposed to be for my 4 year old daughter's Olympus TG-2 digital camera. The seller was kind enough to replace it but I've yet to receive it. It seems well constructed otherwise so as long as I don't get another defective one it should work well.

Case Logic Compact Camera Case with Quickdraw-Brown Review

Case Logic Compact Camera Case with Quickdraw-Brown
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I bought this case to store a Canon Powershot SD770IS. It fits the camera perfectly and I like the idea of a magnetic clasp. But there's a big drawback. The interior of this case has caused scratches on my camera's LCD!

Only the top half of the interior has the soft, furry padding that protects against scratches. The bottom half exposes a nylon strap on both interior sides that has scratched up my LCD when putting the camera in and taking it out. (The magnetic flap that closes the case is on one end of the strap.) It's such an obvious flaw, I don't know why Case Logic would design it this way by exposing the strap in the interior of the case. The strap should have been hidden behind some soft interior padding instead.

In addition, on one of the sides of the top half interior, they stitch a Case Logic logo that might cause scratches too.

They advertise a feature of this case as "No-scratch nylex interior provides superior camera protection". I don't know how Case Logic could say this with a straight face.

I bought this for my Canon SX200IS, but it's too tight (not fat enough). It is perfect, however, to hold the Canon battery charger with spare battery inside, plus too extra AA batteries for my aux flash/video light. You can't go wrong with Case Logic.
