Magnificent for the price but way too small for anything much larger than a point & shoot. The movable dividers are very difficult to place where you want even with f/4 well enugh.

I bought this bag because I like Tamrac bags and have several small bags that I use for miscellaneous accessories rather than actual camera bags. For $, I decided one more wouldn't hurt. The bag is well made but definitely for a compact camera. I tried it with my wife's LUMIX. It fit the camera fine, but the side pockets are too narrow for a second lens, so I would suggest it for a compact camera plus phone, lens cleaner, and other small travel items.

Good light duty bag for a compact DSLR or smaller with a second lens and a few small accessories. Bag was a bit tight and short in height to allow a Nikon D5300 with a larger zoom lens (e.g. 16-85 mm) to just drop into the center slot and allow bag lid to close. Otherwise, several zippered pockets and suede lid are very nice.

I can't add to the above because I haven"t had it long enough.

This is a good camera bag but it is only good for a smaller camera like the micro 4/3 cameras.

I bought this camera bag for my new Canon G11. It's the perfect size for the camera and charger with room to spare. Its well constructed, looks great and has extra storage space for small items including a cell phone pocket on the side.

I really like this bag because 1) The velcro is easy to lift up so I can take my camera in and out constantly. Can not do this w a zippered bag 2) It holds my rebel w a 70-300 attached and 2 extra lenses and a flash. A lot of other bags are not tall enough to hold a body w a medium telephoto lens attached.

I have a lot of Tamrac camera bags but this one's the best. I can fit the camera, a flash and have plenty of room for another lens when I buy it. This would be good for a full size Digital SLR and you can fit the same things in it but it is great for my micro 4/3 camera and equipment and I still have room.

First I have to say that I LOVE the look of this bag. I wanted something that looked classy and nice... without a huge logo or brand name on it. This bag is definitely it! The micro-suede on the flap looks GREAT! I'm considering having it monogrammed. I would not advise a photographer with a LOT of equipment to use this as their only bag. Right now, my bag is holding my Nikon D40, SB-600 Flash in its case, Sto-Fen Omni Bounce, LumiQuest Ultrasoft, 3 Batteries, 2 Chargers, a card reader, a few filters and some small manuals. I could fit another lens in there. But if you need to carry more than that, I'd suggest a larger bag. Great item for the price though!

I tried all kinds of bags from backpack camera bags, to shoulder bags that are too small, to even a Pelican case in a regular backpack. I needed a pack for my D300, the 18-200 Nikkor VR lens that pretty much lives on it, and my Tamron 11-16 wide angle. Neither of these lenses are petite, but this bag works great for this setup. I hang it off my shoulder and the strap is grippy enough so it doesn't slide off. My favorite bag so far! I'll probably get another one for my F100 which is the same size as the D300.

I bought this bag for my wife. This is a great bag if you have your body and a couple of lenses. For much more than that it is space constrained. While it has additional zipper pockets there is not a lot of extra room for those pockets to expand. Great for the use purchased. The only MINOR complaint I really have is the buckle for the front flap is fixed. A better design would have put a longer strap and allowed the buckle to cinch down when putting more items in the front flap.

I have a lot of Tamrac camera bags but this one's the best. I can fit the camera, a flash and have plenty of room for another lens when I buy it. This would be good for a full size Digital SLR and you can fit the same things in it but it is great for my micro 4/3 camera and equipment and I still have room.
