My neighbor is selling her DT-211, so she lent it to me for a week to try it. I like the overall design, the quick-zip top, and the bright yellow interior (much easier to find things than with a black interior), but the bag has some serious problems aside from the small size: (1) the strap is designed so that (at least when adjusted to my size), two straps with substantial padding overlap for about 4 inches, digging into my shoulder or chest uncomfortably; (2) the narrow strap that's supposed to keep the bag from sliding forward when you lean over is way too short; (3) the overall configuration essentially prevents using the bag as a sling bag on the left shoulder or a backpack on the right shoulder. It's going back to the neighbor with a "No, thanks."

I often don't use a bag, but this one is small enough to make it usefull. Holds a D7000, extra lens and charger. This bag keeps everything together for a "grab and go". I don't have to hunt for the right gear. Great protection in the snow.

This is a small to moderate sized wedge-shaped bag which can carry a moderate size SLR w/attached kit zoom, one extra lens, and very small flash (Nikon D80, 18-55, 35f2, SB400), with a few slim accessories in small pockets. Nice for quick trips and maybe street shooting if you do not need extreme focal lengths (lenses are too thick or tall to fit in the bag). The closure is a handle-like dual zipper arrangement that you can zip up for security but un-Velcro for rapid access. The bag comes with a spaghetti tangle of extra belts to enable you to attach other Kata bags and accessories. There is also a basically useless waist strap; the bag does not carry enough for you to worry about distributing weight. Once I stripped off all these unnecessary extra straps, the bag was functional as a sling and shifted quickly from back to waist.

This small bag handles my Nikon D300 with the 18-200 zoom plus the 12-24 zoom, which will do for 98 percent of everything I shoot. There is a little extra space for cards & batteries. It is comfortable to carry and is great for a walking outing where I don't need the bigger lenses or extra bodies. On thing was that there are a lot of odd assorted extra straps the purpose of which was a mystery. I think they had to do with attaching other products but the documentation did not explain very well.

Have only used this two times it works gret for my Nikon with a zoom lens and a strobe. Can't wait to take it on vacation this summer.

A great pack when you're on a serious walk but want your camera along. I purchased it mainly for a Panasonic G1, but it easily accomodates my Canon 40D with kit zoom and a spare (smallish) lens. Very comfortable way to have a camera handy while not getting in your way.

It fits perfectly with my Canon 50D + 24-70 lens I still have room for 50 F1.4 and my 430EX II flash. The bag is built with very high quality material. Only complain is that this bag has so many string around, but I just detach them and use only the main strap around the shoulder. Over all, I gave it 5 stars for the convienence and its size. I'll recommend it to my friend.
