This bag is very sturdy and padded. The description is pretty scanty, but I took a chance and bought it. Glad I did. The bag holds my JVC GR-DVL805U mini DV camcorder, the strap, battery, AC adaptor cord, 4 tapes, the remote, and all connector cables. It's kind of a tight squeeze with all those accesories, but the bag is compact, comfortable, and easy to carry, with the camcorder still being protected. The bag also comes with a lifetime guarantee against defect. The only thing that could be improved is that it's awkward to get the camcorder in or out of the bag while carrying it with the strap over the shoulder; the zipper is hard to reach and goes all the way around the top. That's the only thing that could be improved, and could be considered a safety feature, because the camcorder certainly won't come out unexpectedly. The bag is also very durable and nice looking. I recommend it.

I bought this bag after months of searching for something that would hold both my camcorder (Panasonic PV-GS80) and camera (Nikon P5100). I bought it specifically for travel, and needed something that could handle all the man-handling by airport security as well as being banged around while hiking, and this bag far surpassed my expectations.

The bag is padded throughout (top, bottom, sides) and feel sturdy while providing protection for the electronics. The bag is, supposedly, insulated and waterproof (necessary in extreme conditions) and I have no doubt that it is at least waterproof as the inside material is similar to jacket material (so water soaked from outside doesn't make it all the way through, I'm guessing). Construction feels solid and the sewing feels sturdy.

I am able to fit my camcorder, camera, and charging bases (but not power cords) along with a few MiniDVs and other small assorted items into the bag (please see pictures I included in the picture section), and am more than please I can keep them together, especially when having to go through airport security. I do have to agree with the awkwardness of trying to open the bag when it is worn on the shoulder, and though it may be a safety feature, it is almost impossible to try to open the bag with one hand and try to capture those lightning-fast moments--by the time you've managed to wrangle the camera out of the bag, the moment is gone, otherwise I am very pleased with my purchase.

LIKE THE DURABILITY OF THE BAG, BOUGHT A YEAR AGO ACTUALLY AND HAVE USED IT ALOT, JUST NOW REVIEWING IT. HAS STOOD UP TO LOTS OF WEAR AND TEAR WITHOUT GIVING OUT. A GOOD OVERALL CAMCORDER BAG FOR OUTDOORS AND TRAVEL.

Better than expected. Plenty of room for all my accessories; battery charger, spare battery, camcorder, dig camera, cables, etc. My cameras are small so size was not really an issue. For me it is just the right size... works great.

Glad I got this. It holds my Sony Cybershot camera and my JVC camcorder plus cords and extra batteries.

Sturdy, compact, lots of room. Compartments are adjustable. I feel my investment is safe within these walls! Better price and better quality than the Sony bag.

This thing is great, and is less than half the price of a bag that Sony was selling with my camcorder. Fits my DCR-SR300 perfectly with all its accessories. Save yourself a few bucks and go with Samsonite.

Large, tough. Only negative is that zipper closing is a bit awkward, and clasp closure isn't adequate. Two clasps would be better.
