1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this - big risk, August 9, 2004

I bought this for two reasons.
1) The previous samsonite bag I bought ("Samsonite Worldproof 3.02 Blue/Black Deluxe SLR, Digital or Compact Camera Bag") is sturdy and very good.
2) Reviews from others with average rating of 4.5

I just received it and is a total useless product. I would never expect such a product from Samsonite. Here is what I could find in few minutes:
1) Walls of the bag are very thin bend like papers
2) The zippers are not good
3) The front pocket does not have a zip - what do you expect to put there. Its no good for anything other than big items like battery charger, cables etc.
4) The adjustable partitions inside the bag are also not sturdy.

Go for "Samsonite Worldproof 3.02 Blue/Black Deluxe SLR, Digital or Compact Camera Bag" even if it is $7 to $8 more. Do not risk your camera or camcorder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for bigger cameras., December 20, 2002

Positives
-Very roomy, lots of fun pockets.

Negatives
-Too roomy.

If you have a small camera, like the Cannon zr45, elura; or the Sony PC9, IP5 type cameras, then go for something smaller.

If you have any of the Sony DCR(or ccd)-TRV series, Panasonic PV-DV series, or JVC GRDVL series cameras, then this bag would suit you well. However, it's size makes it inconvenient to lug around during short trips. If you have a smaller camera, I would not recommend this bag. -done, and done!

I bought another brand of bag for my Canon 35mm last year. For the same price, it wasn't nearly as roomy or convenient. This is marketed toward camcorder purchasers, but it's too bad I didn't know about it last year for my Rebel EOS. It has more room for lenses, cleaning materials, booklets...even a snack!
