 perfect fit for Nikon D40 with 18-200 zoom lens May 3, 2008

This is a perfect minimalist camera bag for a small SLR kit. My Nikon D40 with 18-200 zoom lens fits perfectly in the main bag. I put my 55mm macro lens in one of the pouches and Speedlite flash and filters in the other pouch. The pouches are removable if you don't need them or you can buy bigger pouches for bigger lenses. If I want to carry more gear in a backpack, I can still carry my SLR on my hip with this bag and have instant access to my camera. The waist belt with compression straps holds the bag very securely and comfortably when I'm out hiking. For the cheap price of this bag, I really can't ask for anything more.

This bag serves well for an SLR and a couple of lenses, or an SLR with an extra lens and the the other case for the spare battery/charger/cleaning kit, or whatever.
It's sadly lacking in pockets though, and what the side cases don't have is enough space for a medium-sized lens with hood attached; e.g. a Nikkor 17-135mm won't fit in with the hood attachement, no the 55-200mm.
Also the wrap-around zip makes it harder to get at teh camera when you need to whip it out for snapshots.
Particularly good for hiking with a 25/30l rucksack (the kind without waist-straps).
 Bag is ok for the price. October 31, 2007

I just bought a Nikon D40x and needed a bag for it, bought this one after reading all the great reviews. After receiving the bag, I really wasn't too impressed with it. First, there isn't any small pockets for your other gears, I knew this when I bought it, not too big of a problem, I'll be using one of the two lense case for those. The more serious problem with this bag is how it is made. I'm not sure if I have a defective bag, but the lining inside my bag's main compartment is uneven, as if when they were making the bag, they forgot to cut off the extra material, the result is an uneven inside. I'm still contemplating on whether I will keep this bag, who knows...

I bought this waistpack to carry my rebel xti, extra lense and JVC everio camcorder around at Disneyworld. It was perfect! I didn't need a ton of lenses or extra gear, but I needed to equipment to be handy (to not miss those precious spur of the moment pics of the kids). This was the smallest yet functional pack I found. the main compartment fit the camera body and lense. Since the camcorder is so small, it fit neatly into one of the side (lens) cases. The quality of this case is great, I felt my gear was safe and secure.

I looked all over for a compact case for my Nikon D80 and finally decided on this one. I normally carry a larger case, but I was taking this one on a hike to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. After a 20 mile hike and 14 hours later, I was definitely glad I had chosen this bag, it put the weight of the camera around my waist, NOT my neck, and kept it protected as we navigated some pretty treacherous terrain. I will definitely use it again and am already using it as a backup bag. The only con that I can think of is what some others have said about it, there are no compartments for lense caps, memory cards, etc. But it served my purpose beautifully.
