After purchasing a Canon 40D, 3 lenses and a 580 speedlight and combining this with my existing two lenses and a Canon 300D camera body and a 420EX speedlight my canvas and back pack bags were a non-starter.

Pelican sells to the US Army among others and we've shipped goods that survived fork lift prong holes in the case with Pelican but not with others. The 1510 can carry all my stuff in waterproof and dust proof protection fit in an overhead airline bin and have wheels and an extended handle that make dragging it around easier than anything I've tried yet.

The model comes without padding with foam padding you can "pluck" to fit or my choice the most costly padded insert. For space management and reasonable internal protection this is the way to go. It allows for change of your equipment by simply adjusting the velcro dividers. No wasted space. Everything safe and secure. Pelican will sell you TSA approved locks as an aftermarket choice. Something to consider if you travel and want to secure your rig from the luggage gorillas and still meet the approval of the TSA.

Lifetime replacement guarantee from Pelican.

Make sure you specify and confirm the EXACT type of insert you desire. The only drawback with this case... it's getting crowded in there and the next larger size goes in with the stored luggage in the airplane hold... no way...

This is a great Pelican case small enough to easily store in the overhead compartment while flying, tuff, organized, and portable in airports as a carry on with its wheels and retractable handle for those of us that do not want to check your $10,000 in camera equipment to be tossed around by the baggage handlers. The construction qulaity is amazing. I can fit my 17-40, 100 mm macro, flash, 70-200, 24-70, body with a vertical grip, and still have room for filters, and lots of extra accessories. If you buy the separate lid organizer listed on amazon you will not be able to use the top foam insert which compromises the protection it offers so I would not buy it again. Recommended for any serious photographer!!

I purchased this to hold my photography gear. The case itself is fantastic and I would give it 5 Stars. The issue I have is with the padded dividers. First-of-all the photo of the divider is different from what you get but that is not my main concern: What bothers me is that there is absolutely NO/ZERO padding on the bottom of the dividers. Therefore, if you put your lenses on the dividers your lenses will hit directly against the bottom of the hard case wall. Considering most of my lenses are f/2.8 I was not willing to take this risk so I called Pelican and they had me take photos of the padded dividers and send it to them. The called me back within the same day and told me the padded dividers that I have are a very very old version they used to supply with the 1514 case. Thus, apparently the supply of 1514 cases that Amazon currently has are very old but other than the padded divider rest of the case appears to be identical to the current generation. I was going to return the case to Amazon but Pelican said they would send me a padded insert to place on the bottom of the case for free so I am keeping the case and will see if the insert Pelican sends me resolves the issueif not, I will send this case back to Amazon and will purchase the case directly from Pelican so stay tuned.

Honest reviews on Pelican 1510-004-110 Case with Padded Dividers, Black



The video review goes over many of the case's features and helps give an idea of the size and what you can fit into the case. We mainly shoot video with our DSLR camera, so we carry several video-specific accessories, such as a microphone, matte box, follow focus, monitor, etc.

As mentioned in the video, our case did not come with the Pelican 1519 Lid Organizer for 1510 and 1514 Case, which was stated in the product description. I'm not sure if this was just a mistake or if this model doesn't actually come with it and the product description is just wrong, but we contacted Amazon and they reimbursed us for it, once again proving their great customer service.

I mentioned in the video that Amazon has a lock that they recommend for the case. The lock is the PELICAN 1500-518-000 1506 TSA Lock, which says it's TSA approved. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but the lock doesn't appear to be that secure and some of the reviews state that it could be easily cut with a Leatherman. I would think that TSA would allow you to take a padlock off the case if they needed to look through it, then put it back on once you're through security, but you never know.

All-in-all, great case. Watch the video for more details.

I've now used this case on a couple of photo gigs during the last month, and overall, I love it. It's cheaper than all the camera-specific soft-sided rolling cases and is a lot more durable in a big way. I love that when my camera gear is riding in this case, I have absolutely no worries what so ever.

When I received this case I immediately noticed that it was smaller than I was expecting. It was important for me to get something carry-on compliant though, so that's not Pelican's fault. It doesn't fit every last little thing I had hoped to cram in there, but it did allow me to consolidate a camera backpack and 2 random camera bags into the one case after removing a few insignificant things.

Bottom line for those who don't want to read the details? Yes I would buy this case again if I needed this size. Yes I would recommend it to a friend. Yes I'm thrilled with the purchase and the price! In the future I plan to buy a similarly equipped case that's larger for local gigs, and you can believe it's going to be a Pelican!

The Details:

*Padded divider system is adequate but not so padded that it wastes a lot of space. This is awesome. Some bags and cases on the market waste so much space through unnecessarily over-padded walls and dividers that it's ridiculous how much space is wasted. Also, It's worth mentioning that I have extra dividers left after I configured my case. Always a plus!

*The case itself is waterproof and overall is tough as nails. I can't wait to throw some travel at this case and see what she'll put up with.

*While not the typical inline-skate wheels you see on most luggage and rolling cases, the wheels do appear to be quite solid.

*I'm 6ft tall and sometimes find luggage and rolling cases to be uncomfortable to pull with how low their handles are. Happily, I don't have this issue with this case.

*Organization! With the padded dividers and the optional lid organizer, this case is awesome for organizing my gear. Both my assistants absolutely love this case, and it's also easy for me to describe where stuff is without having to show them. If you buy this case, you need to get the lid organizer. Period. It's cheap and so handy!

*Appearance: Now, a lot of people will tell you this isn't important. What I can say though, is that with weddings especially, but also other assignments, perception on the part of your clients and their guests is everything. This case definitely looks legit, while rolling behind us and when we open it up to reveal the myriad of equipment we use, all organized into compartments.

*The extra handles on the outside of the case (the non-extending ones) are crazy solid and very very handy when you need to move the case without the wheels, or load it into a car or a shelf. SOLID! And rubberized!

Other comments:

*The recesses for the wheels protrude into the inside of the case a bit. There really isn't a way around this if you want to keep the wheels protected, but I still found this to be mildly annoying when trying to make everything fit.

*The main pull handle is weird. It's one solid piece of molded plastic, rather than your typical telescoping luggage handle. It functions fine, and my guess is that it will surpass the typical luggage-style handles in longevity because it's leagues more durable and doesn't have moving parts. Still though, it's just a bit odd and it does flex a little bit in the middle. Overall though, still solid. I love that it locks when it's extended, and it locks when you push it back down into the case as well.

*One thing I didn't realize I'd miss: No pockets on the outside. On all my bags and backpacks and on my personal luggage, I've gotten used to large, flat outer zipper pockets. For photography, they were perfect for flat-folding light modifiers, lighting gels, disc reflectors, etc. Now I keep these items stored under the padded divider tray. Luckily the version I received has a padded bottom, so my assistants and I are able to pull the whole tray out to get to the flat items underneath.

What I fit in this case with a little experimentation and creative packing:

*2 Nikon DSLR's with Power Grips

*1 Nikon SB900 Speedlight (not in it's case)

*1 Nikon SB600 Speedlight (in it's case with it's foot/stand)

*1 Nikon SB24 Speedlight (in it's tie-up case)

*3 Pocket Wizard Plus II Transceivers

*Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 Lens with Hood (mounted to one of the cameras)

*Tokina 12-24mm F4 Lens with Hood

*Nikon 50mm F1.4G Lens

*Nikon DX 35mm F1.8G Lens

*Lensbaby Composer in the Lensbaby Case (tucked inside lightspere mentioned below).

*Old Nikon 70-210mm F4 Lens with Hood (similar in size I believe to the 80 to 200 F2.8 non-VR lens)

*5 Dot-Line AA Battery Cases (each fit 8 AA Batteries)

*Nikon SB-D9 Battery Pack for SB900

*Gary Fong Universal Lightsphere (the non-collapsible kind. Takes up a lot of space but worth it for wedding gigs)

*Joe Demb/Demb Flash Products Flip-It

*Small Dome Diffuser (similar to StoFen) that came with SB900

*Small Gel organizer that came with SB900

*Small Foot/stand that came with SB900

*Tripod & Monopod Plates

*2 Memory Card Wallets

*Sync Cables for flashes

*4 Extra Nikon Batteries (2 extras for each camera body)

*2 Small rolls of Gaffer's Tape (one black, one white)

*Lumiquest Softbox III (Flat under divider tray)

*Honl 8" Snoot (Flat under divider tray)

*Honl Grids 1/4" and 1/8"

*Honl Barn Door/Gobo (Flat under divider tray)

*Home-made velcro Gel Holder (Flat under divider tray)

Yes, I looked at the measurements. I was looking for a novel camera case for my "little" camera, but unfortunately, this case was even smaller. Nice concept but it didn't work for me reminds me of a "micro" patent leather pocketbook. It now resides in a drawer until I can find something to put in it.

Before ordering I read quite a few mixed reviews so I was a bit hesitant. I ordered anyway and I'm so glad I did. This is such a cute cute camera case. Perfect for that girlie girl you might be wanting to buy for. My Coolpix S4100 fix in here just right. If there is a downside to this case it would be that there is no room for an extra SD card or battery. However, that shouldn't prevent you from ordering and enjoying this sweet little case.

I have a slideout keyboard for my iphone which adds a little to the depth; this fits it perfectly. I also like the flexability of being able to clip the handle on the same side or loop it to the reverse side. It's easy to loop over the handle of my purse and not get burried in the bottom.

Incorrectly listed as the appropriate case for Nikon's Coolpix camera. In order for the camera to fit, I had to cut out the velcro straps designed to hold it in place. Even with that, it barely closes. Insufficient space to store battery, etc. This is rather unfortunate, as the case does have a nice hard shell to protect the contents, which is how it earned two stars.

It was $6.94 TOTAL with shiping for this little camera case. I purchased it for backpacking with a ruggedized waterproof point and shoot camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2).

General Info:

1) The case weighs 2.2 ounces with the shoulder strap.

2) The case is actually silver and black. In the photo at the top of page it almost looks white.

Pros:

1) It fits the camera w/ silicone sleeve and wrist strap, an extra memory card, and an extra battery easily.

2) The construction is solid. The stitching is secure. The belt loop is secure and strong enough for any weight camera that is small enough to fit inside. The strap and D-rings are also made well enough for securing any camera that will fit in the case.

3) There is ample padding in the front of the accessory compartment.

Cons:

1) There is no padding in the back wall of the camera compartment or between the camera compartment and the accessory compartment.

(NOTE) This can cheaply be remedied with craft foam from Walmart.

2) The case has no material covering over the zippers, rendering the case NON-WATERPROOF.

(NOTE) This wasn't a problem for me because my camera is waterproof.

Shipping:

I submitted the order at around 12 P.M. on a Monday from North Eastern Ohio and the item arrived that Thursday in the mail by standard shipping.

Smaller than Case Logic TBC-303 Medium Camera/Camcorder Case. Feels a bit tight around my Lumix.

I switched back to the TBC-303 eventually.

The silver color somehow feels a little dirty too.

Not too big, and not too small. Just the perfect size to fit my Lumix SZ1, and it has a outside zippered pocket I can store the charger in. Also has a lot of padding, so if you accidentally drop it, camera should be fine. Very pleased with this purchase and the price!!!

Honest reviews on Camera / Small Electronics Case - Silver for Panasonic Lumix

This little case is well made with a belt loop and comes with shoulder/neck strap. It has a zipper closure that opens wide giving easy access. The front zippered pocket is roomy enough for extra batteries or USB cable. The case is lightly padded to protect against bumps; however, it may not be protected against drops. This case will keep your camera clean and ready for use when you need it.

Love this camera case! Of course I want something to protect my camera, but I want it compact, and light, and this delivers. Material is also very sturdy, considering the price I paid, and I absolutely fell in love with the design it looks like a mini backpack! The small compartment in the front is big enough for a strap, or an extra battery and sd card. Highly recommended!

My review of the Lowepro 102 AW SlingShot

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I pretty much have to agree with other reviews that talk about the small size of this bag. It's definitely quite limited in what it can carry....but it does work for me in some situations. It *does* hold my Canon 40D with Tamron 18-270mm super-zoom attached along with my 540EX flash and a extra 50mm lens, so would be a reasonable bag for me to use on trips when I am not able to bring a selection of lenses with me. I am not a person that can carry much equipment with me in the field due to physical problems, so I really need a bag that is comfortable and can handle at least this amount of equipment. I do wish the interior dividers and velcro had a few more optional placements, you're pretty restricted in how they can be placed.

You'll find many, many interior compartments and stuff hidden away in this bag, including a nice rain cover for the camera on the inside, and for the entire bag on the outside. The tripod holder flap can be tucked inside, as well as the additional waist strap. There almost to me seem to be *too* many compartments. I don't need so many that I end up having to remember where I put what item and unzipping a dozen pockets to find it. But I'm sure a lot of photo geeks love that kind of thing.

While I do love the sling design in terms of it helping to relieve some of the weight that is so problematic for me, I do have to add that it's not the easiest (or most flattering) thing for many women to wear, particularly if you are, umm, well-endowed shall we say. I basically have to either push the strap up in which case it is practically strangling me, or move it slightly down which umm, pushes other things UP. The second strap which is described as a "waist strap" actually comes up creating sort of an X in front, just making the whole thing look even worse (like a huge push-up bra worn on the outside). I'm not sure there's really a good solution to this, but women might want to try one of these in a local camera store to see how much it bothers them before purchasing.

Best Deals for Lowepro Slingshot 102 AW Camera Sling

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The LowePro Slingshot 102AW camera bag seems well constructed and very durable. It has one curved, padded shoulder strap so that you can carry it over your left shoulder. There is also a small nylon hand strap at the top of the bag for carrying the bag, but it is 1" in width and is not padded. There are a number of pockets and compartments for carrying an array of items. You can also carry a tripod or mono-pod on the side of the bag.

The main issue may be whether the bag is large enough from your camera and gear. The main compartment has three subdividers that are held in place by velcro so that you can adjust the size of the subcompartments or remove the subdividers completely. The size of the main compartment is approximately 10" wide, by 7" (which would be the maximum distance from the back of your camera to the front end of your lense), to about 5" in height at most (which would be the maximum height of a single lense standing up in one of the subcompartments. The flap for the main compartment has two small pockets for memory cards. There is a secondary compartment at the top of the bag that is 7" wide at the bottom and narrows to 4 at the top, and about 4" deep. There are a couple other smaller compartments on the bag also. And then within the compartments are smaller storage pockets.

The only thing that I didn't care much for was a strap that crosses the zipper of the cover to the main compartment that has two Travato side release buckles. If you secure the strap with the 2 buckles, then you have to release the buckles to unzip the cover. Then when you want to zip the compartment up again, the buckles tend to fall across the zipper and you have to pick them up to zip the bag up.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Slingshot 102 AW Camera Sling

NOTE: Amazon has combined reviews for the 102, 202, and 302 together. Be sure you know which review you are reading. This review is for the 102 AW.

I am a Lowepro fanatic. Every bag I own is Lowepro except for one multi-purpose Tenba Messenger bag (which is incredible by the way). I own the X300, a couple of Stealth reporters, the Slingshot 202 AW and the 302 AW. I shoot with a Nikon D300s w/MB-D10 (battery pack), Giottos quick release tripod plate, all Nikon lenses, and ALWAYS carry at least two speedlights(SB-900 or up to 3 SB-700's) w/ diffusers and small light modifiers (such as Lumiquest's line), and a heavy assortment of other gear. I needed a smaller bag to carry a minimum amount of gear mainly on family outings. Of course, a minimum amount of gear is subjective to each photographer. This bag severely (emphasis added) limits what I can carry.

The bag is constructed in the usual Lowepro high quality and high design standards. The only issue I have is that it is just too small. By the product images, you would not suspect it of being so small. Imagine my surprise when I realized it barely fit my D300s with an attached Nikon 17-55. THAT'S IT for the main compartment! To fit it, I had to remove the supplied configuration (all the padding) and put the camera in sideways. Even then, the top of the camera does not really fit, I had to stretch the bag as I closed the zippers. There is no more room in the main compartment for another lens or flash. End of story. The inside lid of the main compartment, the 102 has two Velcro-closure memory card pockets, so you can leave your memory card wallet at home. The Lowepro microfiber cloth was moved from previous models to the left of the compartment, which is kind of nice since it always got in the way with other models. Also, this version, like previous versions, includes the built in rain cover.

The secondary compartment (top of bag) can hold either a small lens, flash, or an assortment of small gear (cables, etc). But, it cannot hold all three or even two of those items. In my case, I use it to hold one SB-700 flash and diffuser and that barely fits. Inside that compartment is a smaller pocket for miscellaneous items that functions well. In my case, it holds spare AA batteries. On the outside of the bag, you have a smaller vertical zipper pouch at the top replaces Slip Lock Attachment loop) that would be another great place for batteries or your keys. But, the SlipLock Attachment Loop that used to be there on previous models is now gone. The addition of a tripod buckle, cinch strap, and hideaway foldout tripod feet pouch on the side of the 102 is a nice feature improvement. On previous models, you had 3 SlipLock Attachment Loops, 2 on the back and 1 on the side, that you could use to try to carry gear such as a tripod or monopod. The design feature improves carrying such a device compared to previous model's, but the size of the bag makes it impractical to attach anything but a low-end consumer grade tripod.

A lot of reviewers have complained about the fit of the Slingshot series, especially on women and big men. They are entirely correct. The Slingshot strap rides across the front of your chest. Women with large breasts may simply not like this feature. Larger men may have a problem as well. You can carry the bag slung over the right or left shoulder for comparatively shorter periods of time (compared to slinging it over your back). But that defeats the purpose.

In short, if you are use a pro-level DSLR with attached grip, you will just be able to use this bagbarely. Forget about carrying a Nikon 70-200 2.8 though. I barely got my 17-55 to fit. This bag is a minimalist bag at most. This bag proves the point there is no such thing as a photographer using one bag. Bag's serve specific purposes and require compromise to achieve the best form and function for any given environment. On the other hand, for those carrying smaller DSLR bodies with no grips, such as the Rebel line, or Nikon's consumer line (think D90, D7000), and have very little lighting requirements (not carrying flashes), this bag is a home run. So, all you mom's on the sideline during Johnny's soccer game could very well fall in love with this bag. Pro's, definitely not except under minimalist standards. For point and shoot camera's, this bag is overkill unless you are looking to carry other items as well; I would just get a backpack at that point.

I bought this for my Nikon D5100 and it has been perfect; much more convenient than the traditional shoulder bag or backpack. In fact, I love this bag so much that even when I'm not bringing my SLR around, I still use this for other purposes. Here's why it's so great:

-FUNCTION-

Being able to swing the bag to the front is a huge benefit (the biggest reason for using a sling-style). I can get my camera out in about three seconds! The zippers are secure and the extra pockets are well thought-out, especially the small pockets for memory cards and battery on the part that flips open. There are several straps on the outside of the back for attaching various items. If you need a tripod, I would get the 102.

-SIZE-

I was going to get the 200 (there's also a 300), but I'm so glad I went with the 100. As an amateur, I don't want to carry around more than I have to. This bag is big enough for my 18-55, a zoom, and a prime. The inside padding can be reconfigured but even the as it came, it fits my camera with the 18-250 attached with no problem.

-COMFORT-

This is extremely comfortable. The weight of the contents is distributed nicely across my shoulder and I can have this on my back literally all day with no problem. This is part of the reason why the 100 might be perfect since you have no choice but to carry light!

-DURABILITY-

The bag seems very well made. Although I've only used it a few times so far, it looks like it will hold up. Zippers and straps are in great condition and there is nothing flimsy at all.

-RECOMMENDATION-

If you only need to carry the camera with a few accessories, this bag is perfect. This allows you to quickly access your camera while not needing to take anything off your body. It also doesn't scream "hey everyone, I have an expensive camera in here!" unlike some other camera bags. Buy without hesitation.

This is my second case logic case in this style. My first one was black and was misplaced. My second one is purple. It is a very deep purple, like Plum. Very easy to get the camera in and out. I like that one side is somewhat hard to offer screen protection. It's a very slim case so doesn't add a lot of bulk. It will fit in my jeans pocket with the case. I mostly carry it without the long neck strap, but there are times when I use it because it comes in handy.

I had bought the exact same case at Best Buy for $20. I checked Amazon when I got home and picked it up for $11 ish ($6 for product and about $5 for shipping, not prime eligible). What a bargain! Took the Best Buy one back. I waited till the Amazon one came in before returning and the cases and packaging were exactly the same. Good deal.

If you use Pelican cases for equipment, these dividers are a must. They are great, particularly compared to cut inplace foam. The foam might be ok if you have a few large items, but if you assemble a kit of equipment (maybe 50 items such as camera, video, tape measures, etc.), this is the way to go. Not cheap, but very well made. The Velcro allows you to customize the interior of the case. Comes with a lot of dividers; more than I typically use. The new version seems to be black, compared to the older silver--doesnt matter to me. For me, a large case, like a 1610; the dividers are a must. Great product.

I got the 1610 Case Divider because I have a couple of Pelican Cases that were at one point used for something else so I had custom foam for the previous item. I tried the Pick-N-Pluck but found it very spotty. I don't like how the Pick N Pluck worked and usually ended up accidentally plucking too much and then I was stuck. The Padded Divider was perfect because it's not permanent. Of course it's not as secure and items can move around, but I am using the case to pack random tech / photo items so I didn't want the permanent foam cut outs. It has given new life to a pelican case that was just sitting in my basement.

Pros:

Useful for reconfiguring based on current needs

Cons:

I wish there were different divider lengths instead of just the two types

But that one 'nearly' is almost a show stopper.

I bought this for my Nikon P510, which is one of the big point & shoots available. Almost DSLR-sized. I hadn't been able to find a good bag for it over the last several months so it wasn't getting carried much. This looked like a good bet (even though nobody, even jill-e, has pictures of the interior) so I sprung for it.

It is technically too deep for this camera, but I can pad the bottom to help with that. The interior organization is good (two velcroed pockets on the underside of the lid, a slip pocket under the front flap, a slip pocket across the back, and two interior side pockets that are created with fabric-covered pieces of foam and Velcro. I got all my gear organized in it nicely, and then I tried to close the front 'snap' thing.

Well, that's the dealbreaker. The thing requires a lot of force to get through the hole in the tab, and you can't press too hard because you risk damaging the camera inside! I eventually managed to slip my hand under the flap and down into the front slip pocket so I could create some resistance when I pushed the snap through the tab. This was a huge nuisance. I may return this and get a more vanilla case. I can't imagine going through this every time I want to close the case.

Note: the picture in this listing is not quite the same as the bag I received. On the lower of the two leather tabs on the front, mine had a slit, and mounted to the camera bag body was a silver stud which was designed to be pressed through the slit in the leather tab. I tried it eight or nine times, trying to get accustomed to it (or, trying to get the slit to loosen up a bit), but it was still difficult after a while, so I sent it back.

It's a little rough around the edges, meaning it's a little bigger than you'd think, and really close to a perfect fit. But it's leather, so you can't get too exacting. Overall, I really like it. It looks great, and does complete the retro feel, it looks just like my dad's old SLR, only about a third of the size.

This case is a perfect fit for my Olympus SZ20. It holds the camera securely and looks like real leather. The magnetic snap closure closes securely, and there's a belt loop on the back. Very classy looking case for a very reasonable price.

While others have rated this item well, I can not see the reasoning behind their comments. A lot of items are well made, but this item has been outsourced to China, and it really shows. The "Fake Leather" is a veneer, and will bubble or peel with use. The stiffness of the case is from a hard cardboard material, and will not stand up to use as well.

We fall for items made by the manufacturer to be of better quality, when we receive items like this, it is nothing more than a let down. I guess that is why Lowepro, Tamrac, and CaseLogic have widely popular cases for electronic's, they are 10 times the basic standard of this POORLY MADE ITEM!

Camera fits really tight, SZ-30. No room for additional battery pack. But, is a nice case. Four more words required?

I purchase this Neoprene case about a month ago for the Nikon Coolpix S8000 point and shoot camera. I thought it looked better and easier to hold then the hard shell and leather cases. Found this case to be the exact size of the camera so you will have to stretch the case a bit to fit the camera in. The side pocket can hold an extra memory card but a extra battery maybe a bit much. I would recommend if you have arthritis or finger dexterity issues to get the next larger size case called "Neoprene Sleeve (Super Black) Case for Nikon Coolpix S8000 14 MP Digital Camera Red" by Kroo it has two stylish zeros on front of the case. Also I give the Vendor "PC Micro Store" five stars for their quick delivery and customer service it was excellent.

It was very had to tell the size of this case online. It is just big enough to hold the camera and a few lenses. Wish it were a little larger as I carry a spare battery and charger and mini tripod as well. I will use this for short day trip photo shoots.

I purchased this for my new Canon SX40 HS and given purple is my favorite color I was really excited to receive it. When the product arrived the color had my full attention as it is a beautiful shade of purple however when I opened the product the zipper got stuck 3/4 of the way to a full unzipped state. I checked it out and made sure it wasn't getting stuck on the material on the inside and it did not appear to be the issue so I zipped and unzipped it many times to see if it was a "wear in" issue and again that was not the issue as it only seemed to get jammed the more it was used.

When I was done messing with the zipper and decided it was a defect and would exchange it I opened the product and checked out the inside. There was NO WAY I was about to put my new Canon SX40 HS inside the flimsy material cradle for the camera. The size of the product would allude to plenty of room for equipment / attachments which is not possible the way it is made. If one were to think of this 3 dimensionally, when the product is unzipped (remember the zipper catches 3/4 of the way at full open), there is a very thin flimsy but soft material where the camera is to be cradled. When the camera is placed in this small pouch it is weighed down a lot. To place anything else in the case you must gently lift the flimsy soft material and without really seeing what you are doing there is a small space beneath the camera pouch and the bottom of the bag to put additional equipment like the battery charger, extra battery, cables, and memory card. If you have a lot of attachments like myself this is definitely NOT the product for you. If your camera is a valuable, priceless, can't do without item this product is NOT for you. Spend the extra money and buy a much more rugged, spacious, padded product with room to grow. Any camera buff or photographer will tell you additional "toys", equipment, attachments and so on is inevitable especially with the Canon SX40 HS that has so many options and many capabilities with the help of additional attachments to do many of the things a DSLR can do without the major initial expense of purchasing a DSLR camera.

Now for the seller, as the title indicates the customer service is top notch! I notified them about zipper that stuck 3/4 of the way open and they sent me a replacement at no charge and didn't require me to send in the defective product. The replacement arrived within a couple of days. The downside is the zipper on the replacement also jammed. I was going to use the replacement for a couple of point and shoot camera's that are already in hard cases but would have been easier to haul around if I could just throw the hard cases into one bag. I am not using the original or the replacement bag.

To sum up, the product is very eye appealing but not, in my opinion, suited for an expensive camera. There is no room for additional equipment, there is virtually no padding to protect your precious equipment and the zipper is defective or made poorly. The seller is great.

It is a very nice looking bag. Doesn't look like a camera bag, which is good. Strap is wide.

My main gripe is padding, it has very less foam padding. Unless you pack your camera inside the pouch, it has almost no protection. The pouch is little smallish compared to the main bag. So, if you want to use it as a small day pack, with your camera and a lens in pouch and some other essentials,it'll probably serve the purpose but using purely as a gear bag, well, better buy some other bag.

Another point is how the flap opens, it opens opposite way to most other camera bags. So, when you open it flap is on your body side and you need to hold the flap with one hand and use other hand to take out your gear. If you don't hold the flap it'll getting in your way. I'd prefer the flap open in the other way, like Kata bags.

In a nutshell, if you need a nice looking day pack with Nat Geo logo, go for it. If you need a camera gear bag, look elsewhere.

First, I bought this from Amazon Warehouse Deals, and it was listed as "Used-Like New". It was new. There were still tags on it. I guess the original packaging was damaged.

It is not too big a bag and does not look like a camera bag. It just looks like a day bag. My wife agrees it does not look like a "man purse" either. The build and quality of the materials seem to be good, however, I just got the bag and not really had a chance to take it on vacation or any serious activity. I have a Sony Nex 7, which the internal camera bag holds very well. I have room for it and the 50mm prime lens. Even with the smaller camera bag inside I can still put a water bottle in the main compartment. I also like that there is room for my iPad in the sleeve inside the main compartment. Overall, I am happy with the bag and look forward to using it this summer.

The bag itself is an OK size. In the big compartment I can put my Canon 6d, which is not a small camera, coupled with the kit lens (24-105mm f4 L), the Canon 430EX flash (does not fit if mounted on the camera), a 50mm 1.8 lens (quite small) and another extra medium-sized lens (either 70-300mm L or 100mm L macro).

The biggest problem I've encountered was with the inside pouch, which is on the smallish side. From the advertisement pictures, I figured I could easily fit my camera and either the flash or another lens. Was I wrong. Perhaps if you have a smaller camera, but my 6D barely fit there with the smaller lenses monted. With the 70-300mm lens mounted, it didn't even fit at all. To put all I can inside the bag, only the camera gets the extra protection from the pouch, the rest just rests loose inside the bag. And there's not much padding to protect the contents.

But, in all, it's a nice carry-around bag, much more practical than a backpack, although the carry-on capacity is a little limited.
