Shootsac Tote & Shoot Camera Bag - Silver

As a whole I give this bag a B. Shootsac advertises this not just as a camera bag, but rather as a great tote that securely holds your camera. I really wanted to use it as my "Day out with the kids" bag, as it's advertised to work in that capacity. The bag, on it's own has no dividers inside, so if you need organization, you need something else. I ended up purchasing a diaper bag organizer, but I would've loved it if Shootsac had even just 2 divider pockets included on the inside end, instead of a zipped pocket. It fit my DSLR perfectly with my Tamron 28-75 attached, and I didn't feel I compromised either the safety of my camera or the capacity of the bag while the camera was inside. It was SUPER convenient to get my camera in and out, without turning the inside of the bag upside down. My primary gripe is actually the length of the straps. This is a one-shoulder bag. I prefer to carry something of this caliber across my body: both from a weight, and security aspect. I'd be OK if this bag came only with the handles, provided it came with the option to add a shoulder strap. It doesn't. It's just hard to lift kids up and down with something only over one shoulder. Especially when on it's own it weighs a good amount. Additionally the straps were too short to go over my stroller handle (which I'm remedying by getting some bag hooks). Like I said: thus far I'm happy, but if it had the dividers and a longer shoulder strap, I'd be in heaven.
