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.

First let me say that this bag is a good bag for the price. It is a little small for my needs but I was looking for something that, when I travel, I could bring and it wouldn't be a cumbersome as my larger camera bag. This fits my DSLR, its lens, several additonal filters and the camera manual. If I were to purchase a larger lens I doubt that it would fit in this bag. If it does it will take some good manipulation. The bag is comfortable, light weight and easy to get into. The only other "negative" that I can think of is that the zipper has a cover which has to be folded back in order to unzip the bag. It can be a little annoying at times but it does serve as a deterent from someone getting into the bag easily if your not looking. The lens cleaning kit you can put together yourself and the "table top tripod" is especially a waste of time. It actually looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box but the bag itself is worth the money.

Over all rating is good I just wished that it was slightly larger for some additonal lens'.

It's a great product! I do have a couple of complaints, but overall it's a good bag. My first complaint would be that you can tell that it's cheaply made. But for the price, I wouldn't expect anything other than that. Second, I have a Nikon D50, and it's a bit of a tight squeeze. Once you get the camera body, lense, battery charger, and tabletop tripod (included), you can't fit much else. If I were to buy a spare lense, I doubt it would fit. I would've also liked a few more pockets. But if you have a smaller camera, such as the D40, I could imagine it would fit pretty well. If you have a few spare lenses, you might want to try something bigger.

Wonderful! Extremely light and the Canon S3 fits perfectly in the bag as well as lots of room for necessary accessories such as extra media cards, batteries, cables, etc.

The case appears to be durable and the finish repels dust easily and most of all, protects the camera and contents properly

I like the bag in how it protects the camera, the size of pockets, and the adjustability inside the bag. The dual zipper closure for the main opening though requires two hands which at times can be frustrating. Great quality. The tabletop tripod is simple and has flexible legs and lens cleaning kit is lens cleaner, lens cloth, and some q-tips

If you are looking for a camera case for your Canon S3 (or S5), this one has enough room for all your needs: extra batteries, memory cards, cables, and even the small user guide.
Comes with a small tripod and lens cleaner, which is a nice bonus.

Good quality from a great company.

I loved this little kit, the camera bag is big enough for my Sony HC-96 and all it's accessories, the tiny tripod is really cool, the cleaning kit is pretty useful; but the main thing of this kit is the bag, it's nicely padded, very soft, has got enough pockets and places for everything, the shoulder strap is anti-slip and it doesn't really stand out in public, which is something you want if you're not looking forward to get robbed. Get this one, I saw all options and don't regret it!

Nice strap, sturdy construction. The flap around the zipper can be tedious, but feel like its more of a safety thing, so not complaining about it.

Overall I'm pleased with the bag for the equipment I have. However, if I add one more thing any bigger than a lens cap, I'm screwed. I have a Canon XSi w/ kit lens (attached) and a 70-300mm lens; both *just* fit in the main compartment. I also carry my battery charger and extra lens cap, plus my tripod attachment and cleaning rag. It's a tight fit, so if you have more than that, go bigger!

Oh yah, the table top tripod is a joke. My camera is way too heavy for it; there's no way I'd sit my camera on that thing! The cleaning kit is nice, especially the LCD protector and rag.
