I have A LOT of camera stuff, and I've had A LOT of bags to hold all that stuff. Lately though, I've really been wanting an every day walk around bag thats not too big, but still can hold at least my camers, two small lenses, and some other small things like memory cards, cables, batteries, etc. Oh, and I didn't want to pay a lot of money for it. I came across this bag on amazon, and took a chance. I hadn't really heard of the company USA GEAR and I'm so glad I took that chance and bought the case. It's really light weight, very durable and, and best of all, holds everything i need it to plus more! It comfotably fits my D40 with 18-55 lens and my space 35mm lens. The hammock inside suspends my camera so there is no pressure on the lens or body. It has like seven pockets for my memory cards, batteries, filters, keys, and a granola bar haha! It's just a really great functional bag that I honestly use every single day now. I'm thinking about buying another one actually, and one as a gift for a friend of mine.

I bought if for my Nikon D5000 with kit lens. The camera fits perfectly.
The build quality is quite good, I love the hard (rubberized plastic) bottom which can protect the case in extreme weather conditions or even on beach on some wet sand.
The top zipper seems a bit flimsy and I am afraid to pull it harder. It is quite hard to open the zipper with one hand.
Shoulder strap is adjustable and case can be positioned quite comfortable, and it is very lightweight.
I would definitely recommend this one to someone seeking a non-expensive holster case.

This is a great camera bag for the money.
Well made and it holds my Canon digital rebel camera and stuff.
The hard case bottom is excellent and the sling inside keeps the camera from bouncing around.
I would recommend this camera bag to anyone.

I got this holster since 6 months and working great, there are many pockets for usb cabel, extra two batteries, flash reader and extra SD card.
the only problem in my new lens 55-200mm, i have to remove the lens form the camera before i put it inside

I purchased this bag for my new Nikon D5100. The sling concept was a great idea and my camera with the standard lens fits nicely and seems protected. I even think there would be room for a larger lens :) However I was/am unhappy with the product for these reasons.
First and foremost, the bag i received was not the same as the bag pictured. i bought this bag bc the picture showed that there were TWO small pockets on the inside of the lid flap (the description even boasted having more pockets than other bags). I thought these would be great for storing my individual filters. well the bag i got only had one larger pocket (ie not a good idea to have filters stacked on top of eachother) The tag ATTACHED to my bag even showed a picture of the bag with TWO pockets.
Secondly, the zipper is super cheap and sticks. it hasn't broken yet, but i'm not sure it will last.
Lastly, it's pretty top heavy. my bag has fallen over and even off of things several times (however, I guess that stands to show that the camera is still ok :)
I like that the bag is compact so i don't have to lug a huge bag around when i don't need a bunch of gear, and i love the sling. i'm keeping the bag bc i haven't found anything i like better yet AND bc the time to return it ran out while i was debating on whether or not to just live with it.

I bought this to take my camera on a trip and I'm amazed at how much I'm able to pack in it. I have these items packed:
Canon EOS 7D
battery charger
two extra batteries
euro adapter
three filters
Nikon point and shoot
two spare batteries for the Nikon
lens cleaner and cloth

I still have an empty side pocket.

I've owned several camera travel bags but I've never been so pleased with one before. Oh, I forgot to mention how comfortable and light it is to carry. It's tight and compact with no wasted space. I highly recommend this bag and you can't beat the price.

I bought this for my wife when I bought her a Sony DSLR and after several trips, including one to Hawaii with lots of water sports, I can honestly tell buyers to buy this bag, instead of a more expensive one. It handled the camera, her extra lens, chargers, her cell phone, a credit card in the side pocket, hairclips, whatever other junk women carry adequately.
It suspends the camera inside using a velcro-attached flap with a hole for the lens, with a SOLID durable hard rubber base, which got wet, dropped, got pushed over, etc., all while keeping the camera safe.
The zippers still function smoothly, the shoulder straps have NOT broken, no threads are hanging out, nor did the flap suspending the camera get loose.
HIGHLY recommend this DSLR bag!

very bulky & boxy. not flush with body. it doesn't fit a 2nd lens in with camera @ the same time unless u plan on cramming them in. i returned it. i needed something easy to carry & easy to access. it is made with quality though, haha.

Very nice bag. I like the way it holds the camera. I gave it 4 stars just because I wish there was more pocket space for extra items. Quailty very good and durable. I like the size of the bag not to big and not to small. If you want to carry a lot of extra camera supplies you better look for a bigger bag or either just take small items. But all and all very nice.

I make many of my purchases based on product reviews from others like me on Amazon. This is why I take great care in writing my reviews by providing some perspective on how I use the product. For any review under 4 stars, I want to make sure I resonate with those who have the same usage as I do.

Purchased in February for March vacation to carry my Canon EOS XSI, extra batter and charger. Only a few other accessories were taken such as additional memory card and lens wipe. I am by no means a professional photographer and do not have an additional lens but was looking for something larger than my current case (old EOS film camera case) but not too large that it required gate check at the many airports I would take it through.

With limited use, only carrying it through the airport and down to beach multiple times, one of the primary inside pockets (on flap) ripped on the side. With such limited use I am disappointed by the product as it seemed to be higher in quality.

What I liked:
--Good value based on original purchase price provided it didn't rip.
--Kept sand out at beach (I was careful to keep it away from the sand but it kept out also)
--Looks nice and is the right size for a camera with additional lens and some accessories.
--The camera protection was good as the result of the holster system. It suspends the camera (my Canon EOS) nicely so it isn't hitting the bottom, sides or top.
--Received promptly from shipper.

What I disliked:
--The rip on the inside pocket after very little use. I have no idea how it happened other than poor quality. it was not stressed in any way.
--Without significant weight on the bottom (i.e. additional lens, more accessories) the bag is top heavy and always tips over. You need counter weight on bottom or it will fall over.
--Because of tipping issue, it is awkward to carry with shoulder strap.

I could probably live with the rip but fear that other pockets will rip rendering it useless. The tipping issue makes me want to try something else.

Bottom Line: Decent bag if it doesn't rip and if you have enough weight on bottom to keep the bag standing upright. There are so many options for camera bags, why settle for quality and design failure? Get what is right for you -- which I will be doing.
