Customer Reviews
I wanted a small compact bag to carry around my Canon 1000D DSLR camera in and after browsing around the shops, this seemed to be the best option for me.
INNER DESIGN
The main compartment has two removable dividers which you can adjust by sticking them to the strips of velcro inside the bag. This is handy and flexible if you really needed to organise and hold items into place but at the same time, it can make removing items a little difficult because they tend to catch onto the velcro. The hot shoe did this quite often when taking out the vertically placed 1000D but, you do learn how to take it out without any difficulty eventually.
I've managed to find enough room to fit a 18-55mm kit lens and a 55-250mm telephoto lens inside. It feels well cushioned.
You'll also find two smaller pockets for memory cards inside when you unzip and lift up the hood of the bag. Even some space for something such as pens and pencils.
OUTER DESIGN
The hood overlaps the zips to the main compartment which means if it rains you don't have to worry too much about any excess water seeping inside to your equipment. Very nice touch.
Outside on the back of the bag there is a narrow pocket big enough for filters, batteries, lens hoods, small notepad etc. At each side of the bag where the strap clips onto are two elastic pockets which I don't really use but I found they're flexible enough to fit a bottle of Volvic water if you wanted to or just some rolled up pamphlets.
Last but not least, there is another two zipped up pockets at the front of the bag as you can see from the photo. Handy for holding the lens caps or filters when you just want to remove them temporarily. The bottom pocket where the clip is has a very puffed up cushion to it which makes any item inside feel safe and is big enough to hold a point and shoot compact camera.
A thick long strap is the main means of carrying this shoulder bag around and has a plastic non-slip padding on it so that it doesn't slide about on your shoulder on the move and minimise discomfort. The handle too is puffed up making it very comfortable to carry around even by hand.
SUMMARY
A nice comfortable to carry compact bag with plenty of cushioning and pockets for all those camera accessories.
PROS:
Overall this is a nice little bag in which to put a DSLR camera. The handle is nice,bag is light, and padded OK without making it too bulky.
CONS
First, the attachments of the shoulder straps to the clips, using a small pin to allow some rotation, seems rather flimsy and I am not sure how sturdy this will be long term. If the pin pulls out or snaps then your camera bag will be heading for the ground!
Second, a sizing warning really. I put in a D3100 with a 55-200 lens and it just about fits in vertically. I then could squeeze in an 18-55 lens, and the battery charger. But then there was no space for the flash. I took it all out and tried several times to re-arrange it but they just don't fit in all together. And don't forget the D3100 is the smallest body DSLR Nikon make and an 55-200 lens really isn't much long.
SUMMARY
Nice bag for a day out. But if looking for something for continous use and/or storage then shoulder strap design possibly fragile; only room for a DSLR+ a spare small lens + a flash + some cards ; leads etc. For something a bit bigger get the:Lowepro Nova 180 AW Shoulder Bag - Black
