I bought several of these for Sony Mini Cameras and Panasonic ZS series cameras. They are very soft and decently made. The immediate issue is the case is very "tight" and stretches when the camera is inserted, even though one of mine is a Sony TX-55 (very thin). Any protrusion of the camera body makes permanent marks in the panels of the roocase. The zipper isn't the smoothest and even if moderately stretched, is difficult to zip closed.

The case was recommended in the description for the cameras I had, it is just too tight of a fit for those bodies.

In spite of the tight fit it has protected the cameras well, so if you don't mind fighting the zipper or have a very thin P&S camera, its a decent and attractive case.

Got one of these for my Lumix ZS8 and I couldn't have chosen better. It looks made to measure. It's well styled, with a real quality feel. I picked the orange color but was slightly worried it would be too bright. In reality, the vibrant orange works very well and makes me smile every time I pick it up! Would definitely recommend getting one if you're searching.

As with the other poster, I'm sure this is a perfectly acceptable pack if you have a camera that fits into it.

The dimensions of the pack would seem to indicate that it is 3.5" deep, with a flat bottom and a consistent depth through the entire height of the pack. In the main image of the pack that you see on this page (the image all the way to the left in the series), the pack appears to be resting on a flat bottom.

In reality, the bottom of the pack simply comes to a 1/2" wide point at the bottom where the flat back (meant to rest on your chest or back) meets the front side, which is much wider at the top than the bottom. Because of this, you can't simply slide an SLR or rangefinder camera with the lens attached, or even a point-and-shoot with a large zoom, into the pack with the back of the camera against the back of the pack. The zipper will not zip around the camera and lens.

Instead you have to put the camera with the lens pointing either up or down, and ease the zipper around the lens. It's quite awkward to use; if extreme care isn't taken when opening the pack, a heavy camera could easily fall out and be damaged. It was OK protecting my camera inside a larger tote bag, but I wouldn't want to carry the camera in this pack alone.

Having said that, the pack does seem well-constructed and padded. With the right size camera, this would undoubtedly be a winner. But I've got to keep looking for a new home for my M8 with a 28mm lens.

it's probably a good pack, but amazon is totally misleading selling it in a package deal with the canon sx20is. i own this camera, so when i saw them selling this package deal i assumed the pack would be the correct size for my camera. not so by a long shot. i have no idea why amazon would be selling this camera pack with this camera. it is way too small for the sx20is.

I bought the grey one. It is a dark grey, not the light grey pictured ( looks better than the picture). They use a ripstop nylon material that seems durable.Good padding. The bag is perfect for a "bridge" camera like a Panasonic Lumix LX7 or Canon Powershot G1X, plus a small flash or electronic viewfinder.The side pocket can hold a charger, and batteries. The only minor issue I have, is the price. It is a little expensive for what you get. It is made in the USA, which makes it seem more worth it. I would rate it a 5 for the bag, 4 for the price. But I would definitely buy another.

Big enough to accommodate my FZ-200 with or without the lens hood. Zipper pocket will hold spare batteries and remote shutter control. Inside top cover will hold lens cloth and spare sd cards. Yet the case is not bulky. I also like the quick release buckle for easy access to the camera in a hurry.

Honest reviews on Tamrac 600 Expo Jr. Camera Bag (Gray)

Take a close look at the dimensions of this case before you buy it. It's not big, but it is well padded and holds my Panasonic DMC-FZ150K 12.1 MP Digital Camera with CMOS Sensor and 24x Optical Zoom (Black) perfectly, including its bayonet shield (reversed on the lens, of course), two extra batteries, two extra memory cards (inside the netting under the lid), both the USB and HDMI cords, and the battery charger (the latter cord and charger in the front pocket). Now that is using absolutely every square inch of the interior as well as the front pocket, but if you want to have everything with you, in the smallest possible package, this may well be the right case for you.

It is worth noting that one of the big appeals for me was the color of this case. Our insurance agent has cautioned us many times that when we buy cases for expensive electronics, we should, if at all possible, avoid black. She said that somewhere around 1/3 of expensive electronics (especially computers) that are stolen every year are stolen at airports. And as she pointed out, telling security or the police, "It's in a black case" is as close to useless information as possible. Also, more brightly colored cases are much less likely to be accidentally left behind, especially on cars, planes, trains/subways, etc., simply because they're easier to see, even in poor light.

Vidpro ACT-15 Black Accent Large Camera Case Review

Vidpro ACT-15 Black Accent Large Camera Case
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This is a very nice camera case that I purchased as part of a set Must Have Accessories Bundle Kit For Nikon Coolpix. I would say that the dimensions listed on this page are fairly accurate in reflecting the interior of the case; it holds my Nikon Coolpix S8200 just right, even when I put an extra battery or memory card in the little inside pocket. Speaking of which, I do like having the inside pocket, although a Velcro closure on this would have been nice. Similarly, I like the exterior strap as well, but it is not as easily removable as I'd like (i.e., there are hard plastic clips that do not maneuver easily to come off quickly). However, the best features of this case that will be appreciated by most is that it has two zippers which go completely around and that it is a hard shell to completely protect the camera. Given these aspects, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this handy, inexpensive camera bag.

****************

Update 7/26/12

****************

Today I noticed that the metal "Vidpro" logo on the outside of this camera case attaches with small metal prongs that travel INSIDE the case. This prongs are simply small tabs that fold over onto the inside of the case. Although they are rounded, they were also somewhat rough, and I was concerned that they might actually scratch my camera (this hadn't happened as of yet). Therefore, I lifted up the tabs and removed the logo (this did leave a small indentation as well as small slits in the front of the case, but it is not overly noticeable).

I also have a second issue with this case, although I did mention this in my original review. The case has an inside pocket, which is handy for an extra battery, memory card, etc. However, it is a very loose pocket with NO closure, and I almost lost the the extra battery for my camera because it slipped right out of this pocket. Without the closure, I find it to be almost non-functional, so I am going to add a Velcro strip to it myself.

Given these two issues, I've deducted one star from my original review.

I love the colour of this as it is different to all the other mundane black or gray ones, so stands out. The case is perfect if you want to take out your camera for taking basic shots, as it also has a compartment for small accessories like, battery, sd cards etc, but you have to decide which lense you want, as of course you can only fit the camera with one of the basic lens. It keeps all equipment well protected and is quite compact to carry around.

I bought this kit for my new Olympus Pen-1 camera, as it came with lots of parts and no case. I bought this particular camera case set because it had lots of goodies besides the bag, primarily an additional battery. The camera bag is small...but well made, organized and cute-ish. It holds the camera with its lens and most of what the camera came with. It is too small for additional lenses so I'll have to figure out something else when I get one. Still, not a bad deal for the money.

So far so good. This bag is spacious but not too bulky. It is great for a XLR Camera and two lenses. The 140 is barely big enough for the camera and a few accessories so if you are looking between the 170 and 140 and are planning on getting an extra lens I would recommend getting the larger bag. If you want just the camera the 140 is a lot smaller and better if you want less bulk. I think more space is better but that is just me! The 170 seems very study, is nice and padded well. It is a good quality bag.

As you can read from other reviewers, the case is great and fits my Nikon DSLR D3100 plus 51-200 lens with room to spare. However, after just a month of use, the strap which as a non slip material on it in the center, started fraying (picture a cut denim jean with all the threads sticking out). Really poorly made strap.

I spoke to the customer service and they are sending me a "better" strap. Something to note for prospective buyers.

I purchased this for my mom's Canon Rebel T1i. It was just perfect--not too bulky, but substantial enough to protect her camera. The interior is a cheery orange and padded nicely. The camera will fit whether the kit lens is attached or removed. I looked locally for a bag this size and prices were easily double. I am a photographer myself and was impressed with this bag. I don't always leave reviews, but I made this purchase based on other reviews on this page. This is a perfect bag for an SLR and 1-2 lenses.

Kata KT PR-440 Medium Photo Reporter Bag
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Before this bag I had the Crumpler 6 Million dollar home. The 2 bags are about the same size and have very similar storage capacity in the bag. This bag has more external pockets. The Crumpler is also soft sided and this bag with the inserts is more of a hard sided bag. The 2 complaints I had with the Crumpler were no external pockets and when I would remove my lenses the space would close up due to the soft sides. This bag resolved both of these issues.

One feature that I was not sure I would like was the zipper access through the top of the bag, I love it. It makes lens changes much easier, reach through the top, grab the other lens and make the swap. The top of the bag is nice and flat so it works well as a "desktop" to work off of.

I am able to carry all of my normal equipment with room to spare. I have a Canon 50d and a Flip Ultra HD with all the associated batteries and cables. I carry three lenses: the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras. All have lens hoods, and the 70-200 and the macro have tripod rings. I carry good amounts of cleaning supplies such as alcohol swabs, lens pens, cleaning cloths, a Giottos AA1910 Medium Rocket Air Blaster (6.6), and similar items. I carry the rain cover at all times and all my battery charges and spare batteries plus a small flash (Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras). Even with all of this and other small items there is plenty of room. I am glad I did not go with the larger bag.

The strap for this bag is great, I recently took a trip to key west and had no issues with it sliding off or being to uncomfortable. I can also state categorically that the rain cover does it's job.

The only issue with this bag is that I do not think it comes with enough dividers for the inside. I had to take some out of my Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder. (Insertrolly optional). Not a huge deal as I had the other Kata bag, which I really only use for hiking as it is way too big and bulky BUT will carry my laptop. I have found that I really prefer an over the shoulder bag bag to a backpack for normal use.

Overall, great bag and I am very pleased. I highly recommend.

This bag has become my daily carry-all for my car. It easily holds my 7D with grip and 24-105mm lens mounted, plus 5 other lenses, my flash, my filters, and other assorted small stuff. I wouldn't want to walk too far with all this gear in it, but it sits flat on the floor of my car and is fine for toting stuff into buildings for shoots. The top zipper access works fine for taking the camera out of the bag until you add a battery grip. Then it isn't wide enough. I cannibalized another bag for extra separators. It could have used more. That small nitpick aside, this bag works very well for storage or as a daily transporter in your car.

Just FYI, this bag may meet the carry-on limits of larger airplanes, but if you have to fly in a smaller regional jet, I doubt it will fit overhead or under the seat.

Honest reviews on Kata KT PR-440 Medium Photo Reporter Bag

I am satisfied with my purchase. I use this bag for storing most of my lenses (7), a flash unit, filters, extra SD cards, batteries and other accessories at home. It is big and with the lenses quite heavy--and for that reason I don't plan to use it other than a storage bag here in the house. I have other camera bags which I use for carrying camera(s) and lenses when I go to do photography. This bag is well made, and appears and feels durable. I think it is a bit too big for normal outings--but I might use it for transporting camera(s) and camera equipment on a flight since it is well padded. If you need a good bit of well constructed storage space in a camera bag, I would recommend this bag.

Although this is a handsome looking case, it is poorly thought out and not very useful. First of all, unlike most fitted camera cases of this type, the front piece is not hinged to the bottom piece. So one cannot take photos without complete removal of the lens cover piece, and then one has it to hold while trying to take a photo. In addition, if one has the optional viewfinder, which is almost a necessity with this camera--the case can't hold the camera with viewfinder attached, which means that one must have a place to safely store this small, delicate and expensive piece of equipment. Attaching and removing the viewfinder for each photo is not practical. The base plate with camera strap is the only part of the case that I am able to use--hardly worth the cost of this accessory. I would award it something less than one star if that were allowed.

This case fits my DP1 snugly, offering a secure and padded environment for my compact camera. It allows you to use the strap outside the case, and fits in my pocket comfortably.

Be aware, however, this case truly was designed for the DP1. It did not fit my DP2 due to the difference in lens size. While most other DP1 accessories work with the DP2 and DP2s this one does not.

Well, it would fit a Nikon P7000 except for the elastic band at the top of the pouch makes it too small and too difficult for the camera to fit.

Why case manufacturers cannot do a better job in making their pouches fit specific cameras is hard for me to understand. I realize that they can't make a pouch for every camera that comes on the market, but the Nikon P7000 and similar size Canon G12 are what I would call mainstream cameras.
