The case looks great and seems well made. It is divided into two sections. One for accessories; flash cards, tape. The other side is for the camera which is still very large for miniDV camcorders. I would of liked to see the camera side smaller for a tighter more secure fit, and the accessory side larger.

This is a very well made and attractive camcorder bag. Unfortunately, it is WAY too big for the new generation of flash memory camcorders. It may even be too big for MiniDV. It will probably work well for DVD camcorders, especially when lugging extra batteries and stuff, or when carrying a camcorder AND digital snapshot camera. But, for the new ultra-compact flash memory camcorders, it's just too big. Unfortunately, it's a recommended accessory on Canon's own HF100 web page!!! (The reason I bought it from Amazon.)

The outer shell of this soft case is actually semi-rigid. I feel that my camera and accessories are very safe within the case. The case itself is very well laid out. There is plenty of room for the camera, extra tapes, extra batteries, battery charger, AC hook-up, and our digital camera. And even though it can hold so much, so much is still accessible. There is no excavating needed to get to any item you have stored within the case.

Every part of the camcorder easily fits into it in many different ways. It is a very easy to use small bag. I use it with my Canon DC40 and I recommend it.

This case is great for my Canon Elura100. There's plenty of room for ALL of the accessories that come with the camcorder, and for extra miniDV tapes too. All the interior compartments are mesh and all can be closed with sturdy zippers. Shoulder strap is included. Although the exterior is slightly reinforced, the case is truly "soft". If you're looking for a case to travel light with then this is the one.

I absolutely love this product and it fits my camera and all my accessories in it so its all easy to take with me anywhere

I have a Canon Elura 100 camcorder and an Olympus Camedia C-3040 digital camera and this case holds them both, plus the assessories needed when traveling - extra batteries, tapes, memory cards, connection cords and such, all in a case about the size of the lunchbox I carried as a kid.

I don't really have anything new to add, but I wanted to chime in with an unreserved endorsement. It really can fit an incredible amount of stuff for the size. I was able to fit my Elura 100, the charger, six mini-DV tapes, and two tripod mounting clips into the provided compartments, with enough room left over for my Canon Powershot A75. There's still one compartment with just enough room for a spare battery, if I ever choose to purchase one. The components fit in snugly, but not so tightly that they are difficult to insert or remove. It zips shut easily, without having to force the side flaps shut or forcing the zipper around any bulging corners. I'm surprised that the item is on clearance, since it's both useful and affordable.

I have Canon DC40 and this bags fits my camcorder/ battery pack/ power adaptor and extrta dvd disks with cases. It has a small top chamber which I use to carry my compact camera. Very handy.

The case quality is quite good but unfortunately I cannot recommend it due to the design. The case has pop-out sections on both sides. These sections pivot from the bottom to about an 45 degree angle. Because of this it is difficult to access the camera and associated cables / other equipment.

In hindsight I would by the case from a local retailer so that I could see/touch it first. At a minimum do that and then by one you like from Amazon.
