I ordered this bag to hold only my SLR camera, but was amazed at the size of it. It is big enough to hold 2 to 3 lens, plus flashes and almost any photo equipment you can think of- minus the tripod. This is a bag for a serious photographer, since most people would not need this much room. The drawback of the bag is that it is quite big, so it is not ideal if you are having to haul it around on vacation. It is how ever one of the best bags that I have seen in a long time. It has the wonderful quality that Samsonite is known for, and will last a long time. If you need the room in your bag for lens and filters, film and flashes then this would be an excellent choice. I rate it 5 stars.

This is a great bag --- it is light, durable, functional & holds just about anything you might need to drag along.....

As another customer said, it IS a bit on the big side -- but I think that's a plus! As far as it being too big to want to take along just about everywhere [even on vacation, to a ball game or whatever] --- it's definitely not too big..... In fact, it's just right.

I've found that I can just throw my car keys, sunglasses, lip balm & wallet/checkbook right inside --- there's plenty of room! This way I don't have to lug a purse or backpack with my other essentials in it.....

I'd say this is a must have. I carried a 35mm camera & extra lenses around without a camera bag for years --- I don't know what I was thinking. Luckily I decided to treat my new Canon Rebel right & get it this wonderful little home.
Woo hoo!

I just bought a Digital Rebel and a bunch of accessories... this bag takes it all without a sweat. Yeah, it is large, but that's what you need if you're serious about your photography.

Here's what mine holds: Digital Rebel, 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm lens, 420EX Speedlite, filters (several in one case), extra batteries and small manuals. I even carry my old Canon PowerShot for quick shots. I had to play with it a bit to customize it -- as expected with a "generic" case -- but everything fits excellently.

The interior dimensions are: 9 x 5 x 7 (to top of dividers - 9 to rim of bag) inches (LxWxH). You get two adjustable dividers for the main compartment. There is nice .5 in. padding on the walls. There is a mesh holder on the inside of the lid. There is a tough front pouch with filter pockets, another mesh holder and space for thin items. And there are mesh side pockets with drawstrings.

Finding a configuration was interesting, and I didn't follow their suggestion, but it works. I have my flash, camera (body) and big lens standing vertically. I keep the standard lens sitting on top in bubble wrap. (It barely moves, really.) My PowerShot fits perfectly on the other side. (Their suggestion is to keep the lens attached and pointing downward in the center space, so you can just pull out the camera and shoot.)

The materials are tough where they need to be... and gentle where you want them to be. The whole outer shell is fine suitcase-quality. It has a stiff bottom with plastic feet. The top handle is very comfortable and soft. It comes with a shoulder strap (sewn-on).

Because of its size, I don't always want to carry it everywhere. So I also bought a Tamrac Small Lens Case. That'll carry my other lens, battery and CF card... the essentials.

The only "complaint" I have about the Samsonite bag is that once you put enough stuff in the front pouch its center of gravity shifts forward and it falls on its face. However, this is FAR from anything to be upset about.

I expect this bag to last a long time -- it is "guaranteed for life", after all -- and I am very happy I didn't settle for one of the default Canon bags.

So I purchased this bag to go with my Nikon D50 SLR camera and two lenses (one telephoto and one 18-55mm). It is great because it has room for everything--the camera, both lenses, exra battery and charger, two filter sets, manuals, etc. I am sure it could also hold an additional lens if I had one. It is BIG for just toting around and I kept my small camera case for holding just the camera for when I'm out with my kids. But if you want a really functional case that will keep all your camera stuff in the same place and need access to all your lenses, this is the case for you!

I read the reviews stating how big this bag was but didn't really think twice about it. It is quite roomy which is good to carry your equipment but it also has compartments that can be adjusted for a nice snug fit to avoid camera/lens shift. Good bag, wish it came in more colors.

i had this for awhile and it serves me good still. i can fit 2 cameras in there, Nikon N80 and a manual Canon, with 2 lens. enough pockets to store few films and such and even a small p&s digicam. i dropped my bag few times and bumped it against few things while shooting in nyc but nothing happened to the cameras. strong bag. ONE downside is that, perhaps because i had so many things in the bag, that the top part of the cover ripped while i was carrying it by the handle. i just stapled it back. other than that, it's really good.

This camera bag is wonderful. My Olympus e330 fits in perfectly with room to spare. There is plenty of room to carry extra lenses, and anything else I would like. Highly recommend.

Little bit too big for a Canon Rebel XTi with a Sigma 18-200 OS. Good size if you have 2 lenses. Fast shipping.

Compared to the over-priced Lowepro brand, this is a good camera bag. I would have given it 5 stars but I took away one star because the zipper sucks. one of the 2 zipper handles came off the track and is useless. Real pain sometimes but at least the other works. I took away another star because it's not that efficient with space. One or two more small dividers would be nice as well as larger side mesh pouches or straps to hold extra lenses, waterbottle, etc. The mesh pouches on it are useless. Maybe put a lens cap in there. Max height of bag can hold a Nikon DSLR w/18-55mm lens. When I have my 55-200mm on the body its a smidge too long but still fits. A padded neck/shoulder part on the strap would be nice but then again, this thing is only $20.

With so many decent looking camera bags to choose from, I opted for this one because of the price, brand and good reviews.
I am just thrilled with it, the materials are excellent quality, it is well padded and has a decent "low key" color scheme. It holds both kit lenses for my Evolt 510, a telephoto lens, wide angle lens, spare battery, a flash and a few other bits and bobs.
Everything fits just fine and there is still room for more....and the carry strap easily extends into a shoulder strap and makes for comfortable carrying as you would expect for a decent camera bag.
One reviewer said it was big enough to hold Canada, throw in Texas as well, with room to spare!!!
If you have a DSL camera and need a decent bag at a fair price, don't hesitate to buy this gem!
