Top Rated Gear: Shootsac Tote & Shoot Camera Bag - Red Holds: DSLR Kit, Material: Fabric

For years I have just carried my camera in my purse.  I knew I needed more protection but didn't want to have to carry a camera bag AND a purse.  I wasn't crazy about the purse-like camera bags that are out on the market, as they look, to me, like unstylish purses.  This is not to say that I consider the Shootsac Tote & Shoot to be very stylish -- it's a tote bag.  It looks like a tote bag, which I am fine with due to the functionality.

I hesitated buying the Shootsac Tote & Shoot because of its price.  However, I have not seen anything out there like it.  I love using this bag.  It is so convenient to have the separate front pocket where the camera goes.  It is very spacious, and I have no problem putting my Canon 70D with an 85mm lens in there.  The camera strap also goes in no problem.  The bag comes with a long, thick cushion that I put in the bottom of the camera compartment for extra protection.  I feel like my camera is well protected in there.  In the main compartment of the tote, I can put anything I want.  I've put extra lenses in there (in separate lens cases that I already owned), as well as my wallet, makeup, sweatshirt for my daughter, and monopod.  The tote is made of a thick, supposedly waterproof material, so I would have no worries putting a water bottle in one of the side pockets.  I love how this bag is designed, and it has been perfect for my needs.  I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think it's a bit overpriced.

This was the bag I'd been searching for!

Love all the room. Can fit all my cameras and tablet into bag with room to spare!

Shootsac Tote & Shoot

I love my Tote & Shoot.  I have not left the house with my camera in any other bag since I got it.  It holds everything I need and I get compliments on it constantly.  
I saw a few reviews that said they wished it had a longer strap.  They now come with a messenger strap too.  Woohoo!

Includes a messenger strap & I love it!

I bought this bag after returning from a trip with my cannon xsi when the view screen cracked. After paying for the repair I decided that the purse was not a great way to travel pared down, I have a camera backpack, but it gets hot after a while and is bulky when using public transportation. This bag is water resistant so I don't have to worry about rain damaging anything. the outside sleeve is great when in the airport with my carryon. Doubles as a purse very well since i carry very little in the way of purse items when I travel. Carries my camera with the 75-300 lens attached with no problems. plenty of room for other lenses inside the bag. Only drawback is that mine does not have an over the shoulder detachable strap or the rings to attach one. I wish it did. :-(   I think that would have made it a perfect traveling and touring companion.

Great for Travel

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.
