Purchased this for my new Fuji AX200. The case has a good appearence and comes with a carrying strap and a seperate d-ring that is attached to the back of the case that I used to attach to my belt loop. The d-ring attachment was a nice feature that I hoped to use extensively. However, it came off after only two days of use. After that I switched to the carrying strap. The strap has hooks with detents that attach to two steel loops on the back of the case. The hooks however are very thin metal and bend easily.This case is well padded and prooved itself to be water resistent after a ride down the log flume at Bush Gardens. Over all, however, I would recommend against purchasing this case if you have an expensive camera. However, if you have a point and shoot $50-$80 camera this may work for you.

Tenba Mixx Top Load Small Review
I already had a number of small camera bags, most either manufactured by Tamrac or Lowepro. I didn't really need another bag, but since this item was available at Warehouse Deals at a substantial discount, I decided to buy my first Tenba bag.
A triangular shaped holster just screams "I'm carrying a DSLR!", so the more generic rectangular shape of the Tenba MIXX Top Load was a positive, although it still looks like a camera bag. I would have preferred all black for a lower profile, but the black/orange color scheme was what was available. I was generally impressed by Tenba's build quality and workmanship, and find them on par with Lowepro and Tamrac.
The bag has a sturdy nylon belt loop located near the top of the case, where it provides good stability. There is a layer of nylon mesh on the back side, to help with heat dissipation. In the front there is a large zippered compartment, which contains an internal zippered compartment, and two small pockets suitable for memory cards, batteries, or other small items. The included rain cover can be stored here, or inside the bag to give you a little more room. On each of the bag's side panels, there is a small pocket made of neoprene. Although Tenba claims that you can securely store items like a cell phone here, I would not place anything valuable in these pockets, as items can easily slide out. The adjustable shoulder strap has easily operable metal clips, and metal swivel fittings. The attachment fittings on the bag are plastic, but at least they are thick walled, and not likely to break easily.
The case has a decent amount of padding surrounding the main compartment. With approximate interior dimensions of 4.5"x7"x7.5"D, the bag can comfortably accommodate a DSLR with a mid-sized lens up to about 5" with a 77mm filter. Because of the rectangular shape, there is enough room at the bottom of the bag for a smaller DSLR, like a Canon Rebel XSi, to be inserted into the case backwards, with the lens facing the top. It's a tight fit in this position, but there is enough room to pack in a stiff sling type strap, like those by Black Rapid. Unfortunately, this bag is too small to do this same maneuver with the larger EOS 7D. Finding a small bag with enough space to accommodate an R-Strap can be tricky, as these bulky straps take up a lot of space.
This bag is very roomy for carrying a single DSLR with a conventional strap. It even accommodates my Rebel XSi with a battery grip attached. Still, it definitely has practical limitations. Using the Rebel, I found that in certain configurations, there is enough space to carry a spare lens, however the lens mounted on the camera, probably can't exceed 3 inches. If your lens is 2 inches or less, you should be able to squeeze the Rebel and a flash unit into the bag. You can try various configurations and combinations, but if you intend to carry more gear, this should not be your primary camera bag, and you might want to consider Tenba's larger version of this bag (Tenba 638-645 Mixx Large Top Load (Black/Orange)).
There is a zippered pocket made of opaque plastic with a mesh overlay, on the bottom of the lid. There is a cloth tab over the zipper tab to prevent it from scraping your camera. If you store the rain cover at the bottom of the main compartment, it provides a little more padding in a crucial area, and frees space in the front pocket.
Typical for most camera bags, being confident that the Tenba MIXX Top Load will meet your needs, could be tough. I searched YouTube prior to buying, but found no user reviews. If you are unable to actually see and touch this bag, hopefully some of what I have discussed will be of some help. My findings are based on Canon gear, so your results may vary. A very well-made bag, the current price of $23 is not excessive for this kind quality.

Best 1300 Pelican Waterproof Case by NRS Deals
I bought this pelican case (I love pelican cases) to carry a Canon Rebel T1i camera with extra battery, SD card and charger. They all fit beautifully and are very secure. I recommend this case (you may want a different color or not) to carry anything that you value that fits. Pelican makes different size cases if you have larger objects, but I found this case a great fit for size and price.

Reviews of Tamrac 5550 Adventure 10 Photo/Laptop Backpack -Gray/Black
This bag is well made but it is way too big and cumbersome for me. I am a tall medium-frame woman but when I loaded all my gear in the lower section and tried to wear the pack for even a few minutes around the house it felt very bottom heavy and the shoulder harness kept pulling me backwards. No amount of adjusting would keep it in a comfortable position even with the waist strap on. The top compartment is spacious and I could definitely put a great deal of extra goodies up there.
The harness and waistbelt system is bothersome to me. There is no place to stow all those straps when not in use so I am afraid that if I try to carry it on a plane or even stow it in the car that they will be dragging and hanging on things. Also the bag is listed as carry-on compatible but you will see a disclaimer which says that the top portion needs to be squished down to make it so. I understand the Tamrac Extreme series which is much more expensive offers an option to stow the harness. I am considering the 777 which gets good reviews.
The quality of the bag is good but I gave it a 3 because I think that for the money it could have a few more pro details. I would not hesitate to buy another Tamrac product. Especially like the MAS and SAS system.
When I go on trips I can easily fit a:
-Laptop,
-DSLR
-Kit lens
-Extra lens
-H4N
-Lav Mics
-Laptop cables
-External Hard Drive
-Memory cards
-Batteries
With ease. The bag is a little big--almost outside carry-on size--but it's usually okay. I've had some airlines complain, I had to stow it once, but mostly I arrive to board my flight early (attendants usually only get angry when there's no space left).
Here's the bottom line: I've seen people complain in reviews about this bag being too big, or dimensions being too small. That's no reason to give a bag a bad review. Do your research! All of the dimensions are listed out above. If you're only 5'4", it's probably not a great idea to buy a bag that's 25" long.
I'm 5'11", and this bag fits me great. Yes, the bag is huge, but that's what I need! And if it's what you're looking for, don't look any farther.
I pack it up for my weekend photo trips but I also bring a smaller pack to break out my gear for each days local jaunts with my cameras.
Would I buy it again ? No, but not because of quality...it's just too big for jaunting along the beaten path which is where I spend most of my time. If however I were hiking along a deep trail to do some shooting in a hidden valley, I would definitely shoulder it up in a heart beat and be very happy I had it ! It would not let me down for that type of use.
The top compartment is real disappointing. No place to hook keys, no places for pencils or a notepad. No internal zip compartment to hold valuables like wallet and travel papers. All there is is a big "hole" for things to move around and get lost. My $40 Canon backpack (albeit smaller) has all these things. Tamrac doesn't seem to think that being organized is an important thing in the field. It tries to make up for the deficiency by supplying one small zipper bag for the big "hole"
I'm keeping the bag. But, I plan to make modifications to make up for Tamrac's lack of foresight.
I have about zero complaints about it. However, a few things could be improved a little. The waterproof compartment isn't completely waterproof (the back isn't plastic, just the front, so if you get soaked in the Rockies like I did, the stuff at the very bottom will get a tiny bit wet (not soaked, just a little wet on the edges). I don't really use the flash card compartments too much. Finally, it's a little difficult to reduce the size of the lower compartment, although possible. Other than that, this is one of my all time best buys!

Honest reviews on Tamrac 5550 Adventure 10 Photo/Laptop Backpack -Gray/Black
While the Adventure 10 is certainly up to Tamrac construction quality, the bag design is certainly not worth about $170. The lower compartment purports to be tall enough for a long lense mounted on a camera body. My Canon 40D and the Canon 100-400mm zoom combination fits only if the lense hood is removed. So, I won't have a camera immediately ready. Had Tamrac gone another 1-2 inches, things in the camera department would have been perfect.The top compartment is real disappointing.

I've taken this bag all over the world now, likely 30,000 miles or more. I first got it for a trip to South Africa where I needed something discreet for valuable camera and astronomy equipment. I've been everywhere since then as well, and this bag is ALWAYS with me. It fits on its side in most overhead carry on spaces, and in a pinch and if you don't have the top compartment overstuffed, you can put this under the seats on most planes (the top collapses down). I've traveled with this as my only bag as well. Equipment in the bottom, and clothes in the top. I've hiked to 13000' with it, and I've used it for short family trips. If I need a tripod with me, I just sling a Benro Travel Angel to the bottom.I have about zero complaints about it. However, a few things could be improved a little.

Reviews of Icon SP111-BLU Small Digital Camera Case (Blue)
This case is very well-constructed and seems to be built to last. It provides only minimal padding, but otherwise is quite functional. I bought it to protect my camera during those times I want to throw it into a jacket pocket, to keep it from getting banged around too much, and it is perfect for that.
The extra pocket is just big enough for an extra battery and a memory card, but nothing larger.
It is a bit tight for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3, which makes getting the camera in and out a slow process, but as I said, I bought it for protection rather than everyday use, such as wearing on a belt. For cameras smaller than mine (which has a lens that sticks out quite a bit) it would work fine for daily use.
I use it with a Canon A1000 and the fit is perfect. Willoughbys service was very fast. I really don't know how they could sell such a nice little item for the price.

Best Case Logic TBC-310 SLR Sling for Camera (Black) Deals
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program
Overall, this is a nice pack as my video details, but it needs better thought put into the pockets and storage to really compete against similar models. Caselogic is making a bid in its recent products to unseat the main players with a similar product at a better price. Unfortunately, with this bag, unless it's priced under $40 it won't accomplish this task.
Good for people with a small to moderate amount of equipment to carry on an occasional basis, this sling is a good choice. Those with larger SLR and longer wide aperture lenses will probably have to look elsewhere. While there's many pockets and zippers, they're better suited to holding papers and non-breakable equipment like filters (in a hard case) vs. being the proper size and shape for extra lenses, flash units, etc. Even the lack of memory-card sized pockets is evidence that the designers just seemed to add as many zippers and pockets without really thinking of the specific things that need to be stored securely and within easy reach.
Overall, this bag needs a revision and a lower price to be competitive to a wider audience. If you're someone with an entry level SLR and a couple of lower-end lenses, you can easily get by with this bag. For those reasons and in this competitive segment, I can only give it 3 stars a nice, durable sling, but not as well thought out as the competition and not priced to outweigh that fact.
PROS:
Comfortable to wear
Lots of unique storage
Light-weight
Tripod straps
CONS:
Some padding deficiencies
Hard to find a place for the sling strap
STORAGE
For a relatively small bag, the TBC-310 has quite a bit of storage. The main camera compartment uses Case Logic's hammock system that allows the camera to be suspended inside. I can easily store my Canon T2i inside with an 18-55mm lens with hood in that hammock, but due to the length of the hood, it doesn't really suspend in the hammock. The hammock can be adjusted to allow another lens to be placed next to it. I can place my 55-250mm lens with hood next to it and it fits well. Unfortunately, the hammock pocket is not padded in any way so there isn't much to protect the body and extra lens from damaging each other during impact (should you drop it or throw the bag in the back seat of your car). The flap to the main pocket also has a zippered pocket on the inside for miscellaneous items.
The TBC-310 also has a large front pocket that has a mesh pocket inside and another zippered pocket. I was able to easily put my lens pen, lens caps, memory card reader, and charger in this pocket, with room for more. A zippered napolean pocket graces the front of the large front pocket as well. The top of the TBC-310 has another zippered pocket that is fairly deep. You could probably put another body in it but I chose to put my BlackRapid Strap RS-7 strap there. On the opposite side of the main camera pocket are straps for securing a tripod.
CONSTRUCTION & DURABILITY
The construction of the TBC-310 is very solid. All the zippers work smoothly and everything is stitched together well. The nylon exterior is very easy to clean and I have no complaints with the build quality of the TBC-310.
CONVENIENCE
Sling bags are ideal for some people. The way Case Logic implemented the TBC-310 made it very comfortable to wear and easy to slide the main camera pocket around to access the stored camera. The section of the back that rests on the wearer's body is padded well for extra comfort. Every pocket is easy to get to and access, but I had a problem when I had to put the bag down. First, I couldn't lay it straight down on the bottom without leaning it on something. If I wanted it to stay upright without leaning it, I had to lay it down on its side where the tripod straps are. Second, I couldn't figure out what to do with the sling strap. Since it's a long single strap, it's just kind of out there. Case Logic does include a velcro wrap to secure excess strap material but the bag could've really used something to keep the strap flush against the back of the bag when not being worn-maybe a clip.
PADDING
The padding around the TBC-310 is pretty good but there are two areas that need additional padding-the hammock and the main front pocket. I already mentioned that the hammock has no padding so when configured to place another lens beside it, there is nothing to keep the lens and camera body from damaging each other. The main front pocket has basically no padding at all so it probably wouldn't be a good idea to put an iPhone in there.
CONCLUSION
The Case Logic TBC-310 is a pretty decent sling bag. It's a useful form factor and has enough storage for carrying a fair amount of gear. However, there are some shortcomings when it comes to padding and I'm still not sure what to do with the large strap when not being worn. Still, the TBC-310 is worth trying out if you're a casual user who doesn't need to carry a ton of equipment.
All this fits nicely except the 70-210, which I strap to the outside using the tripod loops as an anchor point.
So lets talk about the feel of this bag and its usability from its intended across the body position. To be candid I found this position both awkward, and cumbersome. I think if you were using this bag with a small point and shoot non-slr type camera it would be fine. But SLR's are larger, heavier and can require some dexterity to be able to change lenses, manipulate controls and at the same time frame shots. I did like the bag as more of a shoulder set up, and found it such a nice size for a day style pack if you know what your walking into and feel comfortable leaving behind your extras. I used this bag for a friends wedding and found it just perfect. I could bring all my basics, cleaning items, and still have my lens choices (within reason of course.)
All and all a nice bag, comfortable...but limited a bit more functional than say a Tamarac day pack (which I have).
This sling is wonderful. I needed extra storage for a large lens that I have and also the camera itself. I am able to store all my extras, including the camera instructions, in case I need them, the battery charger and extra memory cards. We recently went on a trip away from home and I wanted something to carry so I would not need my purse(I am writing this review on our joint account-I know my husbands name is at the top)and I was able to fit all of the above including my wallet, couple necessities and a small snack for my kids. I only needed the one bag and it was awesome. It is so comfortable on my back and very lightweight so I don't even notice it is there. If I saw a shot I wanted to capture, it took seconds to flip the bag around and have my camera handy.
I did read others reviews on the bag and though some may say the pocket on top should open the other way, it doesn't really bother me because if I need to access that pocket I usually have the backpack/sling off. I think this sling is perfect for me and couldn't be happier with my purchase!
Overall, this is a nice pack as my video details, but it needs better thought put into the pockets and storage to really compete against similar models. Caselogic is making a bid in its recent products to unseat the main players with a similar product at a better price. Unfortunately, with this bag, unless it's priced under $40 it won't accomplish this task.
Good for people with a small to moderate amount of equipment to carry on an occasional basis, this sling is a good choice. Those with larger SLR and longer wide aperture lenses will probably have to look elsewhere. While there's many pockets and zippers, they're better suited to holding papers and non-breakable equipment like filters (in a hard case) vs. being the proper size and shape for extra lenses, flash units, etc. Even the lack of memory-card sized pockets is evidence that the designers just seemed to add as many zippers and pockets without really thinking of the specific things that need to be stored securely and within easy reach.
Overall, this bag needs a revision and a lower price to be competitive to a wider audience. If you're someone with an entry level SLR and a couple of lower-end lenses, you can easily get by with this bag. For those reasons and in this competitive segment, I can only give it 3 stars a nice, durable sling, but not as well thought out as the competition and not priced to outweigh that fact.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Case Logic sells a few different styles of DSLR camera slings and the TBC-310 is their entry-level, basic sling bag. Like most of their other DSLR bags, it uses their hammock system for secure storage and quick access. I'll go over all the storage compartments, durability, padding, and convenience in this review.PROS:
Comfortable to wear
Lots of unique storage
Light-weight
Tripod straps
CONS:
Some padding deficiencies
Hard to find a place for the sling strap
STORAGE
For a relatively small bag, the TBC-310 has quite a bit of storage. The main camera compartment uses Case Logic's hammock system that allows the camera to be suspended inside. I can easily store my Canon T2i inside with an 18-55mm lens with hood in that hammock, but due to the length of the hood, it doesn't really suspend in the hammock. The hammock can be adjusted to allow another lens to be placed next to it. I can place my 55-250mm lens with hood next to it and it fits well. Unfortunately, the hammock pocket is not padded in any way so there isn't much to protect the body and extra lens from damaging each other during impact (should you drop it or throw the bag in the back seat of your car). The flap to the main pocket also has a zippered pocket on the inside for miscellaneous items.
The TBC-310 also has a large front pocket that has a mesh pocket inside and another zippered pocket. I was able to easily put my lens pen, lens caps, memory card reader, and charger in this pocket, with room for more. A zippered napolean pocket graces the front of the large front pocket as well. The top of the TBC-310 has another zippered pocket that is fairly deep. You could probably put another body in it but I chose to put my BlackRapid Strap RS-7 strap there. On the opposite side of the main camera pocket are straps for securing a tripod.
CONSTRUCTION & DURABILITY
The construction of the TBC-310 is very solid. All the zippers work smoothly and everything is stitched together well. The nylon exterior is very easy to clean and I have no complaints with the build quality of the TBC-310.

Honest reviews on Case Logic TBC-310 SLR Sling for Camera (Black)
First note I paid $22 for this bag as a lightning deal. We added a third lens and our old bag just would not hold it. I really like this bag. It has ample room for what we carry Canon T2i body, 50mm lens, 18-135 zoom lens, 55-250 zoom lens, batteries, and a few small odds and ends. It is easy to get the camera out without moving everything. Padding is moderate. The strap could be a little bit bigger. Overall we are very happy especially for $22, but I think it is worth the $35 that amazon is currently asking.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Case Logic TBC-310 SLR Sling for Camera (Black)
I originally had a tiny bag for my Canon EOS Rebel 3. It was also a Case Logic and came with a bundle I bought with the camera. It was ok for just storing, but nothing I would want to carry my camera around in on a trip anywhere.This sling is wonderful. I needed extra storage for a large lens that I have and also the camera itself. I am able to store all my extras, including the camera instructions, in case I need them, the battery charger and extra memory cards.

Nice case, I had one these type cases for my last camera and searched long and hard for another one. The material seems nice and its quite protective. Unfortunately, it makes the the tiny SL1 much larger but not a bad investment. Much easier to use the camera without un-snapping the top than my last one.

This is a great camera bag. It is solid, good construction, padding should give very good protection. It's good quality. The included carrying strap is sturdy, has padding for your shoulder, and has a swivel on each end (something many leading camera makers themselves are too cheap to include these days) so it doesn't get all twisted up. Good dimensions, too--enough room, but the shape means that there's not a lot of wasted space.
It's nice to have both a carrying strap, and a handle for quick "grab and go."
I downgraded from 5 stars to 4 because I'm finding the dual zipper (pulls on both sides, toward the middle) doesn't pull smoothly and it's become an irritation every time I open and close the case. Also, even a good zipper is slower than Velcro. If they had put on a Velcro tab for quick opening and closing (and retained the zipper for fuller and more secure closure) I would have left it at 5 stars.
Inside: My K-5 with 55-300mm lens attached (not exactly a svelte or petite item) fits perfectly. There are two main compartments with a vertical divider; with the K-5 & long lens in one I could put another smaller lens or two in the other (not another zoom, though). I could also put a smaller camera in there (not a bridge camera, but certainly a pocket camera or a "tough" camera).
Inside, part II: My Olympus E-M1 with 75-300mm lens attached fits perfectly. On the other side of the compartment divider, an extra lens (14-75mm)and extra battery. There's a zipper pouch on the outside for extra SDHC card.
There are also compartments for memory cards, extra batteries, eyeglasses, money, whatever. Or you could put your camera in one side and a sandwich and a cold drink in the other. :-) A great addition to the kit and one that will see a lot of use when roaming around looking for shots.

Good for those of us that miss half cases. As with old slr half cases, the case must be removed to change the media. Fits the 02 fine, may also fit the 06. I wish it was real leather, but that's tough to find these days.
