4.0 out of 5 stars Great Form Factor..., September 10, 2004

I've had this bag for about a year. I love the messenger bag form factor and the wide strap. It's really inconspicuous when walking around Manhattan. There's plenty of room. Enough room that I have packed up to three bodies (D70, FM3A, and a canonet rangefinder), 3 lenses (one attached to one of the bodies), a large speedlight (nikon sb-24), and I still have room to carry a book or two as well as several rolls of film. Of course I never carry that much on a normal day out, but I can fit it all if necessary.

Few complaints. I don't necessarily like the large "tamrac" logo on front. I cover it with black gaff tape. Then again, I guess not everyone knows the tamrac brand. The "weather guards" are nothing more than two inch foam tabs that fold over at the edge of the main compartment, hardly does much. My major complaint is that there is nothing to secure the contents in the main compartment (especially the primary camera body that's on top). Only way to secure the contents of your bag is to secure the main flap with the buckle. I don't always remember to secure the flap especially when I'm reaching into my bag often, and had one of my bodies tumble out onto the driveway when I tipped the bag. Luckily the manual nikon bodies are built like tanks.

Otherwise, I've enjoyed the bag a lot since I've gotten it and the price is good too!

I have a Nikon D70, an extra lens, a Nikon 650 Flash unit and a few cords, manuals, batteries, tripod attachments, etc. The Tamrac Velocity 3 Messenger bag is a perfect fit for my equipment. I love the placement of the camera in the bag which allows for quick and easy access as well as a fast and safe return back to the bag. While the bag is much bigger than what I had before, I now only have one bag instead of three and all of my equipment is with me at all times. Two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Camera bag, March 24, 2006

This is the perfect camera bag. I have been searching for quite awhile for a bag that would fit my needs. Whether I'm traveling or just taking my camera for some quick pictures, I like to have my camera, an extra lens, and my personal belongings I would normally carry in my purse, all in one bag. However, it has been very difficult to find a bag that fits all of this without being too bulky or uncomfortable to carry. This bag gives me plenty of room for all of my equiptment plus personal belongings without making me feel like I am lugging around an entire suitcase. The different sizes it comes in makes it perfect for everyone!
