3.0 out of 5 stars No protection on cover, November 8, 2006

The cover opening does not provide any protection. It does not have cushion to protect the camera which is on top. If you have digital SLR which you want to protect the LCD, this bag is not good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good small case, one design flaw, June 29, 2007

By

This review is from: Tamrac 5533 Adventure Messenger 3 Camera Bag (Gray/Black) (Electronics)

I have a large Tamrac backpack that fits all my stuff (DLSR body, large telephoto, medium telephoto zoom, flash, small 50mm prime, etc.) and I bought this on impulse at a camera shop to put the body and medium telephoto into when that's all I'm taking with me.

With the body/lens in there, the bag is pretty much full. That's actually fine with me. I have a Canon 30D and the lens is the L-series 24-105, so that's pretty big stuff. I might be able to squeeze a flash in there, but it would be tight, and that's with most of the padding removed.

The design flaw is the zipper on the back of the bag. If you shoulder carry the bag, as it seems to be designed to do, the back of the bag rubs on your body, at about the belt line, and that's right where the zipper is--so as the bag sways, it slowly opens the zipper. I've thought of some velcro or another way to fix it, but haven't gotten to it yet. Otherwise, it's a good bag.

This bag was intended for a full size SLR and acc's and for that I'm sure it's great. I inspected it personally because I needed a bag for my Sony Video Cam AND my Kodak Dig. cam. By shifting the velcro attached partitions the bag easily holds both cams and all my acc's. This bag is excellent.
