If you buy a camera, you should have a bag.
You need a place for lenses, batteries, cards (and cords), and other things.
I really didn't want to get a small cheap bag that would hardly hold my camera but the bigger ones are expensive.
This bag is not only roomy but it fit everything I had.
The price is very affordable and reasonable.
The quality is amazing.
If I bought another bag, for whatever reason, I'd get another one of these.

This bag is actually a very good value. It looks to be thoughtfully constructed, i like that it has the main contents under a zip and its got a flap all around the outside of the bag to cover the zip tracks. However, when trying to unzip the flap can get in the way so you'll have to fold it up, a minor annoyance. Samsonite claims that the bag is water-resistant but i haven't experimented with that.

It's wide enough for my DSLR with lens attached if the camera is placed on it's side. I don't have another lens yet so i like this setup, but if you have lenses the length of a typical 18mm-55mm lens then you can probably stack 2 lenses on top of each other and put the camera body (positioned normally) in the main compartment.

3 exterior pockets and one zip pocket inside the main compartment are more than sufficient. The cleaning kit is nice, i like that it comes with a cloth. The tripod is very very small, it's a little shaky at supporting my DSLR and i don't want to risk it toppling. The legs are bendable so you can angle it but it might topple with the weight of the camera. Id say it's only use would be to put it on a table while you still give the camera some support. Still prety usable though.

Well, it's a good bag, and $15 makes this a good deal. However, I think this bag should be used for non-DSLR only. I have a XTi with 3 lenses (18-55mm, Sigma 70-300mm, and m42 50mm )and I can't stuff all of them in this bag :(. Ended up having to buy the XTi starter kit.
