I have the much more expensive Kata E-702 Large Digital SLR Camera Raincover, but I like this product better. It's very simple, with an elasticized end that just fits over my Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM Telephoto Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, which has a pretty large diameter (too large for the Kata).

The soft material means it can be folded up very compactly - much more so than the rather stiff Kata raincover. It's as easy to pack as a plastic bag, and easy to slip over your camera and lens.

I suppose it might not be as waterproof as the thick plastic Kata if you're out taking photos in a hurricane. And the Kata has the advantage of being transparent, so you can read your LCD screen through it. (Though realistically, if it's raining, you can't see that much anyway.) All in all, I find this a much more useful product, not to mention cheaper. My thanks to whoever invented it. I love it.

The rain cover has been a great addition to my camera bag. I used it for 7 days while hiking the Appalachian trail and it performed beautifully, keeping my camera accessible yet reasonably protected. Thanks for a great product.

This is a must have for all photographers amateur and pro alike!

I bought this because I often shoot very close to breaking surf and all too often get salt water on my camera (not good!). I tried a rainsleeve from Op/Tech but it was too small for the camera and my hands and wouldn't work on a tripod. The reviews here convinced me to give this one a try and I'm glad I did. It's simple design is effective: I got a bit drenched today, but my camera stayed dry!

I use this with a Nikon D5000 and an 18-200mm VR zoom (medium size lens). It fits the rig with room to spare. The bottom opening allows use with a tripod and the fabric doesn't block the infrared remote. In fact, I can now use the remote from behind as well as in front since the the fabric reflects enough of the beam to trigger the camera sensor.

In short, this product is not only functional, but very compact and easy to use. That means I'll actually carry it with the camera all the time.

Highly recommended.

Update, Sept 2011. I still love this cover. Don't leave home without it!

I received the rain cover on Wednesday and Friday night I had to photograph a football game in the rain. It worked. I need to use it more to be able to feel more comfortable with adjusting my camera setting while it is on. When I first saw this cover I thought, why couldn't I have invented this? It is truly a "simple" idea and all I can say is, I spent 4 hours in non stop rain and my gear did not get wet. I am glad that I bought it.

Great product for the cost. Saved me potential damage to my Canon Rebel Xti, when a surprise rain shower came upon me.

This is a good cover, the design is fantastic... BUT it only stayed 'water-resistant' for my DSLR for about 5 minutes before it turned into a saturated mess. I dont know what happened, but the water beaded off for about 5 minutes before it started leaking through and I had to stash my camera. I guess for the pirce it's ok, but if you have expensive gear I would look for something a bit more reliable.

Lightweight, collapsable, weather resistant... just what I needed. I shoot in light rain and misty conditions... I don't know how it would do in a downpour.

I purchased your camera cover recently and I was extremely happy with it. My husband and I had taken it to Ireland for our vacation (to be used on my Canon XT.) I knew it was supposed to rain so I purchased the cover in advance and boy am I glad I did! Not only was it easy to use, the cover worked like a charm! We took some great photos we would have not been able to take without it. Thanks for making our Ireland vacation a memorable one!

Used it a few times in our wet and windy state of Washington, holds up great, no complaints seems durable enough; the main thing is my camera & lens stayed dry!

THIS ITEM IS A MUST FOR YOU TO HAVE IN YOUR CAMERA BAG! IF YOU SPEND ALOT OF TIME OUTSIDE IT INSURES THAT YOUR CAMERA WILL BE PROTECTED SHOULD YOU GET CAUGHT IN A RAIN SITUATION.
