Manufacturer Description

The Tamrac Explorer 10 is the perfect shoulder bag for a compact digital or film SLR (like Canon's Digital Rebel XT or Nikon's D50) with a small lens attached. The main compartment features Tamrac's Dual-Foam Technology for shock protection and a custom fit to equipment. An external front pocket features Tamrac's patented Memory and Battery Management System, which uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available and which ones are used up. A Speed Pocket on the front flap secures and provides quick access to small accessories. A Total Coverage Top with quick-release buckle and zipper closures provides weather protection. Inside the lid is a smooth nylon pocket for holding lens cleaning paper. An adjustable shoulder strap, EasyGrip carrying handle, and belt loops provide convenient carrying options for the Explorer 10.

Dual-Foam Technology
First instituted in our professional lens cases many years ago, Dual-Foam Technology is used in many of our bags today. It combines closed-cell foam to provide maximum shock protection with open-cell foam for vibration dampening and a custom fit.

Memory and Battery Management System
Many of our camera bags feature the patented Memory and Battery Management System, which provides quick access to memory cards, batteries, and accessories. This unique system uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

Total Coverage Tops
Many Tamrac bags offer triple protection against rain, dust and sand. Our Total Coverage Tops offer triple protection against the elements by providing three levels of security: hook and loop closures for quick access, EasySqueeze quick-release buckles for security, and a zipper closure for the ultimate weather protection.

Strap Accessory System (S.A.S.)
Tamrac's Strap Accessory System has components that attach to the shoulder straps of most of our camera bags and backpacks to allow photographers to personalize and customize their carrying systems.

Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.)
This system allows photographers to customize and personalize their backpacks, shoulder bags, and cases by using accessories that quickly attach to the many Tamrac products that feature the M.A.S. attachment slots. These accessories will also attach to any belt or to Tamrac's Modular Accessory Belt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid construction, but too small, December 20, 2006

This bag is very well built, nice compartments and a tight closing mechanism. The only reason is it got 3 stars and not 5 is because it's size is deceiving. I have a canon powershot s3 is and a very small battery charger. They barely fit inside there. I have to put the AC cord for the charger under the camera. I was hoping for something a little bigger. The compartments are very small, but it is a good bag for someone who doesn't plan on having any spare lenses or storing anything else in there besides camera stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Canon 30D, April 16, 2007

I have a Canon 30D. I don't have multiple lens and just wanted to carry my camera with maybe a few accessories like an extra memory stick or lens wipe.

This is perfect. There is plenty of padding inside so I feel the camera is protected well and also small enough for me to carry around everywhere.

You can either zip it closed when you are done using, or clip close so you can be prepared to take out the camera anytime.

I'm pleased for the price. They have these on display at Circuit City. I found mine there, but I bought it from Amazon to save a few dollars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Small, October 28, 2006

I just received this item and was disappointed so that I'm returning it. I have no problem with the padding or construction. The size is just too small for much more than the camera (Sony Cybershot H2) and maybe the charger. I was looking for a case that would carry my camera with the lens hood on, the charger, cables and manual. The dimensions advertised seemed to be more generous than most of the bags I had inspected on Amazon, but they are at least an inch smaller in each proportion, and the inside dimensions are about 3.5" x 5.5" without the 2 adjustable pads. The velcro pads hold very securely, but with 8 straps each it was like putting an angry octopus in a jar. If you have a camera, like many are, that's not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes, and the items that came with the camera to be stored together, I think you would be satisfied with this bag.
