I have a Tamrac bag which is almost 2 years old for my digital camera and it looks as good as the day I bought it! I use my camera almost every day. When I purchased this bag as a gift, I neglected to do my homework and upon receipt, found it to be VERY SMALL. Amazon.com does not list the actual size of the bag. However, if you go to [website], click on "digital", they have a checklist of camera names and model numbers, with compatible bags - great resource!

I purchased one of these camera bags to go with a small digicam and was impressed with the quality and durability of the bag. It is very well-padded, provides excellent protection for your camera and does not look cheap. It is well worth the small cost.

I got this case for my Canon A590IS. My previous Tamrac case was the 5692 for my Canon A70. Based on my positive experience with that model, I ordered the 5690.
Here are the things that I like about this case. It has good padding around the main compartment. The case is well constructed and sturdy. You have options for carrying it, an adjustable shoulder strap, or clipping it to your belt. The belt clip has both velcro and a The pockets are handy for carrying extra batteries and the USB cable. The lid closes with velcro and is backed up by a snap closure.
Here are the things that I do not like about this case. It needs more padding on the lid. The shoulder strap is only 5/8 inches wide (wider would be more comfortable). The belt clip is narrow.
Be sure to go to Tamrac's website and view the size recommendations. My Canon A590IS is too big for this case. It turns out I needed the 5691.

It's a small bag for a small camera. It fits my Canon VERY snug. I'd like a little more padding and a little more room but it appears well made. I like the option of either belt or shoulder strap. There's also a compartment that will hold 4-AA batterys and not much else. If you want a small bag for a small camera; this is the one.

This is a great bag, perfect for a compact camera plus battereis. However, the "ble" is not as pictured. What is sent is a mostly black bag with some blue sections. Otherwise, fine.

This bag fits my Lumix DMC-TZ5 perfectly, nice and snug but it does not have the thicker padding like it's newer/larger siblings and the top is not padded, but it's nice enough and fairly compact. The only other problem is that the rear button snap is not very secure its opened by itself on two occassions and fell to the ground but the padding was sufficient so there was not damage. I ended up epoxing the snap so it will never open again.

I am glad I read the reviews. I would have been surprised at the small size otherwise. I went to the Tamrac site and they recommended this bag for my Panasonic Digital Camera. It fits perfectly. It is NOT a carry-all bag-just room for the camera, extra battery and extra memory card. It is what I wanted.

It be helpful if they put some comparative points because it was smaller than I thought

This bag does just what it is supposed to do. The Canon A560 fits snugly. The padding is good. There is a zip pocket to keep your memory cards in. The only thing they can improve is the belt loop is a snap and velcro which would sometimes open if I tugged up on the bag.

I like this bag. It hold my camera snuggly. It has space for extra batteries and SD card.

I even like the velcro hold.. I can put the camera in the bag and not clip it closed, but know that it is protected from being thrown out since it is snug and shut with the top..
