I just received this camera bag late last week. I love the camera bag. It is perfect for my Canon PowerShot G9 Camera. I can carry an extra battery in one of the pockets. I may have to get a bigger bag when I get lenses and other accessories for my camera. Hopefully, I can find a little bit bigger Focus II camera bag when I need it.

This is an excellent item. Compact, Very well made and a real quality item. It's extra pocket is a nice bonus.I bought it for my new Canon G9 and I am very happy with it.

The focus is not a camera case, it is a gear bag, hence there is no zipper to keep the camera enclosed. The top flap only has a buckle for closure and there is not as much protection for a camera like there would be with a zippered top.

This a great bag for carrying my Taurus Millenium Pro or my Taurus 85 discretely.

Shoulder strap is too short. (If you are less than 5'8" tall it's probably fine.) The strap also hooks on to rubberized belt loops with metal clips that look like they're meant to attach to metal loops.

Otherwise seems to be a great product with lots of spaces to store flat items in addition to the main compartment.

I bought this bag for my Canon Powershot Elf SD1000. It holds the camera, the battery charger (plus an extra battery), and the USB connection cord for the computer. It is fantastic! The only downside is that the way the leather strap fits on is a little awkward because the bag tilts sideways. They should have put the clasps for the leather strap attachment to the bag on the sides of the bag itself. Instead...one is on the side and the other is in one of the pockets under the flap of the bag. It's a weird design flaw. All in all a great product though.

I only say pretty good, simply because I don't really want to put up with any case - but I guess a case of some sort, is a necessary evil. I must have purchased and returned 3-4 different cases for this camera, until I settled on this one.

Just this morning I dropped my day-pack on the asphalt, realizing my camera (inside this Mountainsmith bag) was inside my pack, sitting near the bottom. I sort of freaked, but knowing it was in the Mountainsmith bag, I hoped all was OK and the camera does still work. I do believe the camera is pretty durable also, but I think the bag helped.

But the camera fits OK. I had a Delkin flip screen on it, but it fit too tight. Once I took the hood off, it slips in and out much easier. I place the interface cable in the inside pouch, and the extra battery in the outside zipper compartment. The most inconvienent aspect of putting the camera away is folding the strap inside the case. The easiest way to put up with this is probably use the strap of camera case, instead of the strap provided with the bag.
