I RETURNED THIS BAG BECAUSE IT WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN I EXPECTED. IT LOOKS STURDY AND IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BAG, BUT IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME WITH MY ONE CAMERA AND ONE LENSE.

Overall I am satisfied with the product. This is a nice case, but not quite as roomy as I pictured it from other reviews. It is sure an improvement over the cases you see in most stores.
Biggest negative was the sloppy packing job by Amazon. This is not the first time. They really need to do a better job packing cameras and related equipment.

This bag replaced my nikon gear bag, which had started to fall apart after about a year. Here is what I think after about 3 months of use:
- construction: It’s obvious right away that the bag is tough -the nylon exterior is tough and firm, and the stitching is tight and clean. On the interior, the liner and adjustable dividers are made of soild material with good stitching as well. The Strap is padded well in just the right areas, and durable. However, the adjustable strap ends, if not pulled tight after adjustment, will sometimes work their way out…not a great thing for a bag meant to carry thousands of dollars worth of rig. A few teeth on the adjuster would have gone a long way. The zippers move smoothly and finish clean.
- ergonomics: If you’re a pro, or a prosumer, that likes to carry around more than one body and several lenses you have to know that a backpack is pretty much your only option. That being said, this carries my D80 w/18-200, 50mm, sb200 (2), 600 and 900 flashes, extra batteries, chargers, manuals, filters, remotes etc etc with room to spare. I know it’s been said, but the yellow interior is a HUGE help when you’re looking for your gear in there, and the configuration options for the interior dividers are many and varied, a bonus if you’re trying to squeeze a bunch of gear in there. The drawstring net pouch on the side is a nice touch.
- usage: if you’re moving from place to place and shooting, forego using the zipper on the top and just use the clips. The zipper is nice for keeping the elements out, but it’s a hassle if you’re in a hurry, so those clips are a very nice touch to keep things in place without zipping. If you fill this thing up, it’s going to get heavy, so you’ll probably have to switch shoulders as you go, but still pretty comfortable despite the weight.
- overall: A great bag with a lot of interior space that would probably be perfect were it not for the sometimes unstable strap adjusters. Highly recommended otherwise.

This bag is great. Very well made and really like the yellow interior. Lots of space to put all your stuff. For the price, I don’t think you can get a better bag.

Great camera case for a beginner trying to add equipment. I have a Canon DSLR with 3 lenses and it fits everything great AND has room to add more stuff. I was debating between this one and the medium size, but very glad I picked this one.
