Mark Tapungot is right - this bag is bombproof, as all LowePro bags I have ever bought are. They just make a great product. This bag is the perfect bag for a Canon G7/G9, especially if you have the LensMate or Canon conversion adapter installed. It fits my G9 with LensMate adapter, filter & lens cap + a filter case for a polarizer, small cleaning kit, 2 extra batteries, and extra memory card like a glove. Absolutely perfect. The belt loop fits nicely on my backpack & waistpack belts. Note that this bag is not big enough to store additional conversion lenses like teles, wides or macros. If you have additional lens add-ons beyond the conversion adapter & a couple filters, check out one of the bigger Apex bags like the Apex 120.

I bought the Lowepro Apex 100 AW for the Panasonic DMC-FZ18. The Camera fits very nice but you can not carry much more in this case. It will carry the camera, spare battery and Memory cards but not much else. A perfect case for day trips.

hey peoples, this ,as of spring 2007, is a new model for lowepro. did quite a bit of searching to find a case that would be quiet, efficient for travel use and sturdy enough to drop and not ruin my camera inside. Although I could not find a model in town to look at first, I ultimately took a chance on this case to fit my canon powershot s3. based upon lowepro fitting guide, this one fit my camera and had the all weather wrap around cover that is a bonus in wet conditions. Also this case has a reinforced rubber bottom so if you are like me and make some unforced errors, the camera wont go first. so yeah I like. also has a nice belt loop on back. A very simple design. inside of case is a very soft material and can be converted into two pouches for whatever. and has a little pouch for an additional memory card.

Great bag for your point and shoot digital camea and accessories. Beautifully made and top notch materiels. includes a built in rain cover. I can fit my Canon G7 spare battery and telephoto lens converter inside. Best camera bags out there.

I purchased the Apex 100 AW for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 12.1MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 14-45mm Lens. I was hoping for a camera bag that would provide adequate protection to take my new camera on travels with the 14-45mm Lens attached. This bag is the perfect fit for that kit lens or the Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Pancake Lens for Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Cameras attached to the camera as well, but will not fit both lenses inside at the same time.

The bag has many compartments to hold an extra SD card, lens caps, and spare battery, but not much more.

Worth a purchase as a day bag for the GF1, but only with 1 lens.

After much research, I purchased this bag and my Canon G11 fits in it perfectly. I replaced the Canon neckstrap that came with the camera with a Canon video wrist strap (which I prefer). This change resulted in more room in the bag for batteries (2), memory chips and even the charger - everything I needed with me during excursions taken on a recent trip to Hawaii. The bag is well constructed inside and out, is light weight, and proved to be relatively water resistant during the occasional tropical shower.

The only minor negative is that it can be aggravating at times to quickly zip the zipper up (or down) on both sides of the bag in order to get the camera out or back in. Photo opportunities can be missed just trying to get the camera out quickly. Despite this minor point, I am very satisfied with this camera bag and highly recommend it to all Canon G11 shooters.

I wanted a compact, light camera bag and this is perfect. It fits the DMC-FZ35 snugly. It has enough room for a few cards, 1 extra battery and that's it, which is everything I need.

I bought this for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K 10MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black). The Apex 100 is sturdy and has nice features, like the built-in cleaning cloth.

I wasn't looking for a bag with lots of extra space, which is good because the Lumix just fits into the main compartment (and I had to take out a removable divider to make it fit). But, the bag has got room for storing an extra memory card, battery, and the USB cable and that's all I was looking for. I haven't tried to fit the battery charger into the bag with everything else. It might fit, but it would be tight. Bottom line: this is a great, relatively trim camera bag. But if your camera is as big as the Lumix FZ28 and you want more storage space, I'd suggest getting the larger size bag.

I bought the Lowepro Apex 100 AW for the Sony DSC-H50. The camera fits nicely with the divider removed. The case will carry the camera, spare battery and memory cards but not much else, which is what I wanted. I also considered a Tamrac but was not sure it was weatherproof. The Lowepro is. It has a sturdy belt loop, a sturdy neck strap, and an integral bag to contain the case if it is really raining hard. It also has an integral microfiber cloth for cleaning the lens althugh it seems likely that after a few years it won't be so good for cleaning anymore. The bottom is a very sturdy rubbery material. It would be nice if they put the model number on the case so you would know years from now what model you have. It is made in China.

Great little bag. Don't really see how anyone can complain. If you bought the wrong size, it's not the bag's fault!

I purchased this for my Lumix GF1 with the 14-45 lens attached, which ends up being kind of an odd size. The camera/lens combo fits perfectly in the bag, either lens down or sideways and there is still some room for memory cards and a few other extras. Several little mesh pouches keep the extra stuff organized and separate. Belt loop on the back is handy as this bag/camera is still small enough to treat the same as a point and shoot. Fabric, zippers, handles, everything seems of high quality, well padded throughout, fabric seems water resistant but you also get a waterproof cloth tucked into a little pouch on the back of the bag, just in case. Lowepro really thought of just about everything with this little bag. For the GF1, Olympus EP 1 or 2, or one of the P & S mega zooms, I don't see how you could do better.
