I got this as a birthday gift, and it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. I need a huge gear bag for my sessions because I trade out multiple bodies rather than lenses. Mine comfortably holds 2 Nikon DSLRs, up to four lenses, a speedlight, a Lightsphere, a Holga, a Diana, a Lomo, and a 15" MacBook Pro. And that doesn't even include the HUGE pockets that wrap around the bag, and the mesh pockets inside, that hold lens caps, batteries, cell phones, etc. The handles make it easy to carry and the rollers and pop-up handle make it easy to transport just about anywhere. The inside padding and dividers really protect your gear. I've been using mine about three months now and it still looks brand new. Love this bag! So much, in fact, that I went and ordered the small bag in "bone" for my every day bag the very same day I got this one.

I received my bag this morning, and I must say I LOVE it already! It is so very stylish, even more so in person! Its set up is very user friendly, although I wish the top would open up alittle more or that the zippers went further down on the sides but, its still very easy to get your equipment in and out of. The bag itself even empty is a little on the heavy side and with all the equipment in it, it does weight enough to not want it on your shoulder for a long period of time, however the pull up handle, is very sturdy and will be put to good use!!! If your looking for a top quility, stylish camera bag, I HIGHLY recommand this one to everyone!

In my bag, I have my laptop, 2 Nikons with the lenses attached, a 70-300mm lens, a 55-200mm lens, 2 macros, fish eye lens, and my external CD burner. I still have 2 empty outside pockets and a little room left on the inside!!!! It holds more then what you would think!!!!

I do love the look of this bag, but I've had to buy another since then. It's bulky, big and not efficiently laid out. I have two bodies, and 5 lenses and this bag has a tough time fitting it all in. There is wasted space in the top half of the bag because it gets narrower towards the top. If two zippers had been used with a strip of fabric in the middle to close it up, I could at least stack a few things that aren't super breakable (flash, filters, etc)...but unfortunately the way the bag pulls together at the top doesn't allow for any over packing. I also have a really hard time putting my laptop in when all my gear is in the bag. It's just too squishy. The rolling feature is nice, but the bag itself isn't what I had hoped it would be, especially for the spendy price tag. You may want to keep looking before purchasing....

I'm a beginner photographer. In addition to my camera and two lenses, I carry lots of things, including a laptop, and this bag is perfect!! I live in NYC and usually carry a backpack, but this will surely be subbing for it. It's a woman's bag, and you can tell it's made and designed by women. The inside is well-constructed and has space for all your equipment (2 camera bodies, lenses, flashes, memory cards, USB cord, etc). The four outside pockets are great for my iPhone, iPod, keys, wallet, metro card, power bars, building access pass, and anything that you need ready access to. I love that the inside is bright and the polkadots really scream girly. The bag is so well-padded that I won't be afraid to put it in the overhead on airplanes. Since the inside compartments can be readjusted, this bag can also double as a regular travel bag or briefcase. The telescoping handle is hidden by a zippered pocket on the back, but it easily comes out and snaps in place. The wheels roll smoothly. It comes with a small zippered coin purse that was an added surprise. I just think it's an everyday, all-purpose, well-constructed, gorgeous bag!!! I'm going to go back and buy the medium-sized bag for days when I don't carry my laptop.

I absolutely love this bag! I used it for a long international trip and had zero issues. It was easy to stroll around and the carrying straps were nice and wide in case I wanted to carry it as a bag. It accommodated my camera body, with 3 other lenses. Also fit my 17" widescreen HP laptop with ease and still leaving room for my wallet and keys.

I'm an event photographer, and I move around a lot on my shoots. This is the first rolling bag I've seen that is also top-loading, so you can easily reach in and grab a different body or lens without laying it down and unzipping it. After just three shoots with it, I'm in love. I find the top opens plenty wide to allow access to all the storage areas. I have one DSLR body, 4 lenses (1 long, 3 short), an external flash, and battery charger in the main compartment, and there's still room for more. I have the center compartment set up to hold the body with a lens attached (lens down), and I love that it works whether I have a short 50mm or the long 300mm because of the airspace in the satchel design. I worried that the bag would be too heavy to carry when rlling wasn't practical, but it's not. The straps are just the right length to allow the bag to rest on my hip and back, alleviating the strain on my shoulders.

I haven't even mentioned how cute it is - it's really sharp-looking. This bag is pricey, but if you are a serious photographer who moves around a lot, you couldn't find a more convenient way to protect your gear and your back.

I had been eyeing this bag for quite some time and finally made the leap and I could not be happier. Because I quite often shoot on city streets I wanted a rolling bag, other than my larger Lowepro, that went everywhere with me and carried everything I wanted. So long shoulder bag, it's rolling or not at all.

This bag exceeds my expectations in quality, appearance and versatility. There is ample room to hold bodies and several lens, filters and goodies. It will also hold my 17" HP laptop but you will have to rearrange things but it does work. The front and side pockets are roomy enough to hold my wallet, cell and girly things that we ladies can't be without.

While there is no designated area to hold a tri-pod I solved that with 2 simple bungee cords and strap the pod to the handles, when fully extended.

All in all, I could not be happier with this bag.

Happy Clicking .

I'd been looking at this bag for over a year now and finally decided to invest the money into the black rolling bag. I am so impressed with it!

I have two Canon Digital SLR's in the bag, both with lenses on them, placed on either side of the bag. Between the cameras are my flash and 3 additional lenses. Then I also have my 15" MacBook Pro in the sleeve. It was a little tight to close at first, but I think after a few uses I "broke it in" and now everything fits and closes without any issues. I use the pockets on the side for chargers, batteries, USB cables, etc.

I will say that after the first use, the buckle on the product popped off. Not from a deficiency, Jill-E actually made the buckle removable. I wasn't aware of this, and somehow it came off because I didn't close it properly. I contacted Jill-e directly and they responded shortly after asking for my address to send a replacement buckle to. Now that's fantastic service! Still, I hope they look into that. There's no reason the buckle itself should be removable (none that I can think of anyway).

This bag glides with ease! I'll be taking this with me to a gamer convention in August and I can't wait to stroll along with it and see how easy it is to take on planes. I don't see that there will be any problems.

Now that I have this, I want to purchase one of their smaller ones to take with me on other occasions. But, I won't get greedy yet :) This is a great bag and will probably last me several years! A+! Thanks Jill-e!

I purchased this bag for a trip to Italy, to carry my 17" laptop, Canon 60D DSLR and all the peripherals. It surpassed my expectations. It wasn't bad to carry, needed to in narrow airplane aisles, but then pulling up the handle and rolling it through what seemed like miles of airports was easy. I got stopped several times asking where did I get that bag - even in the land of stylish Italians. Well worth the investment!!!

Bag was exactly what we wanted. Arrived promptly although we could not find the packaging ticket.
