I purchased this camera bag to go along with the Canon HG10 camcorder. The bag is very nice in that it has multiple internal compartments and pockets, as well as external zipper compartments on every side of the bag. Also, it has a false bottom inside the bag which serves as a cushion in case the bag is dropped, but it can also double as additional storage space.

Initially, I too noticed that the bag is much bigger than necessary for carrying such a small camcorder as the HG10. However, when it arrives brand new, there are rectangular foam pieces in each zipper compartment to prevent it from losing it's shape. I simply took one of these foam pieces and trimmed it to fill the extra empty space around the camera in the main compartment. Now the camera fits in nice and snug with additional foam cushioning surrounding it.

With all of the space, pockets, and compartments, I am able to fit the camera and every possible accessory into this bag. Currently I am carrying the camera, the power cable and AC adapter, 2 spare batteries, a mini-tripod, the USB cable, the standard A/V cable, the HD component cable, the remote control, and the product manuals, and there is still a lot of empty space and empty pockets. Luckily, the HG10 does not require media since it is hard-disk based, but there would be ample room to carry mini-dv's, DVD's, or any other blank media if the camera required it.

All in all I think it is a great bag and it fulfills all of my camera and accessory carrying needs.

I bought this case to carry my Canon HV20, and reading other reviews I knew it was big, still more than I would expect. I can fit at least 3 Canon HV20 with all their accessories and some miniDVs. The quality is amazing, and since it's so big, I carry the camcorder, a DSLR like camera and a point and shoot camera with all their chargers cables and some miniDVs. Not forgetting that I still have more space if I remove the manuals on the second bottom.

So, if you want it just a small carrying case for a compact camcorder, it's not for you.
If you are like me, and love to carry everything even when you don't need it, this it a great purchase. Great materials, protects perfectly your camera, and lots of pockets and spaces to fit stuff. All the spaces are flexible, so you can fit different stuff without having them scratching each other.

I've used a great many camera and camcorder bags and I'm very pleased to say that after living with this bag for several weeks it's everything that I hoped for. I recently upgraded from a standard def camcorder to Canon's HV30 hi-def offering. After spending some time looking for a new camcorder bag I decided to try the Canon SC2000. The SC2000 carrying case works very well for me as I tote around among other things a Canon VL-10 spare light, spare DV tapes, multiple Li-ion batteries, a charger, assorted interconnecting cables, filters and various other shooting aides.

The bag's interior compartment is well padded and contains an adjustable velcro center divider, a zippered storage pocket and a Velcro tabbed side pocket suitable for lenses and cleaning materials. The three zippered external pockets are very roomy and easily accessible. There's also a hidden storage area located on the bottom of the bag that I find ideal for storing my shotgun mic and other less used items.

I like the zippered pullback style top flap and find that the bag, while not overly large, contains plenty of storage space for items that I need on remote shoots. The provided shoulder strap is comfortable and easily adjustable. All in all a very well constructed bag that more than satisfies my needs.

I searched high and low for a reasonably priced bag for my new Canon Vixia HV30. Initially, I purchased the Lowepro 110 and could not get any of the connection cables, manual, or chargers in it. I then found this bag, the Canon SC2000. It came today and I quickly unpacked it and transferred everything from the 110 AND the small box of accessories that would not fit inside the 110 into the Canon SC2000. Oh, happy day! My Hoya lens pouch, Hoodman 300, 2 cables, adapter and cables, home and auto chargers, 2 batteries, lens cleaning fluid and cloth, HV30 camcorder, 10 mini DV HD's, a head cleaner, manual and included CD, 2 SD cards, a tripod mounting accessory, and a pack of LCD protector sheets nestled comfortably inside the storage compartments with one side pocket still uninhabited! Being the recent proud parent of the HV30, this bag holds everything I need but the tripod! Besides, my tripod carrier goes everywhere I go, and he doesn't mind the extra weight.

Nice case!!! Very soft and great strap support which is adjustable. Case has a false bottom with a hard plastic piece which allows for storage of cable and the owners manual. This case does have adequate padding and support for a small consumer camcorder and Mic, i.e. DM-50 that will fit snug on the inside top shelf. Wide and Telephoto lenses would need to be stored on the outside pockets. Plenty of room for extra Mini-DV tapes and batteries and filters if you have them.

This bag was the perfect bag for me. I actually just got back from Hawaii yesterday and that was the primary reason for buying my new camcorder, and therefore, this bag. First off, this bag is pretty big and may not suit everyone's needs, but for vacation it was perfect. My camcorder (Canon VIXIA HF10 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 16GB Internal Flash Memory and 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom) actually fits sideways inside this, even with the extended battery in it. However, the pockets are perfect for carrying all the charging accessories and USB cables and memory cards and everything else. The extra space in the main compartment (nearly 2/3 since my camera only takes up 1/3 when turned sideways) was quite handy for my wife's digital camera and several other things we carried always on our vacation, like my wallet, phone, and keys--when they couldnt be in my board shorts, the GPS unit for our rental car, or the disposable underwater cameras we carried. Now that I'm back home, the main compartment just holds our 2 cameras and a 12" portable tripod I have.

So, if you are looking for a nicely padded, spacious bag for your camera and all your camera accessories, then I definitely recommend this bag. Plus, its a good bag for housing all your camera stuff when you are at home. If you are looking for a more snug fit or don't need all the pocket space, then I'd recommend a smaller bag like the Lowepro "Edit" series. For me, that was just too small, though.

This is an excellent case that is well built and has a ton of space. The only thing that I'm not thrilled with is that the case has sort of a false bottom for storage. so if you want to store or take something from the false bottom, everything that is store in the top part must come out to get to the false bottom, then it all must go back in again

I own the Canon VIXIA HFS100, and this fits the camcorder, extra battery, charger, and even my point and shoot digital canon. Great case.

This bag is awesome for my Canon Rebel XT and Flas and my recently purchased Canon HF10 Camcorder. Plenty of space....great buy..well worth it.

I have an Optura 600.

This is a very good case for a standard camcorder, with lots and lots of storage space.

But I have given only 3 stars since it is not tailor made for the Optura 600. This is a tiny camera, and will no way snugly fit in this MASSIVE case.

Would suggest this case if you are buying a LOT of accessories, or one of the larger cameras.

This was definitely NOT for me, and I have therefore returned it...
