This camera bag is an excellent step up from the original bag included with your camera. The pockets are extremely flexible giving you plenty of options for storage. I keep my Minolta X-370, with a 50mm lens, an 80-200mm zoom lens, a flash, and shutter release cable in the main section with room to spare. The other pockets are great for filters, film, batteries, and the manual. The only caution that I have is that the 200mm lens doesn't fit as nicely in the dividers as I would like. It's slightly too tall but is still comfortably held in place. The only way to avoid this problem would be to get the bigger bag, but the bulkiness of that bag would be a tough trade off. Overall, a very nice bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great - passed my field test, February 3, 2002

This review is from: Samsonite Worldproof 3.1 Khaki/Black Compact SLR Camera Bag (Electronics)

I've had mine for about a month, and I like it very much. I visited some shops and checked out many bags, being an obsessive shopper when it comes to camera equipment. I almost bought a Lowepro, but the Samsonites have a good plastic base, so that swayed my decision. I'm always putting the bag down in a damp place, etc. The padding all around is very good -- I feel safe with this bag.

I got this one instead of the next size up, because I'd rather squeeze things in and enjoy the benefits of carrying around a smaller bag. I can fit my Nikon N6006, a 3.8" zoom, 5.4" zoom, 6 rolls of film, cable, close-up lens diopter, battery, lens cloth, and handbook.

This morning as the sun was coming up, I was out at the Audobon reserve near an estuary here in Brunswick, Maine. It was about 10 degrees F, and the layer of ice/snow was covered with a newer layer of snow. After about 2 hours and many shots, I returned home with all the gear in good shape. The bag passed the test!

It has more than enough space for my Cannon EOS Rebel 2000 and all of the standard accessories. Excellent quality and it looks nice too! Terrific product.
