Product Description

The Xpress Shoulder Bag is sized to fit a compact D-SLR or 35mm camera w/ lens attached or small video camera, auxiliary lens or flash, spare battery, memory cards, cables and other accessories. The front storage section is great for memory cards, spare batteries, cables and other small items, and the overlapping main flap helps keep contents dry in foul weather conditions.

Comprised of a durable, weather-resistant outer shell, and a soft, brushed tricot interior this bag is designed to protect cameras from the elements outside, while keeping them cushioned and cradled inside. It features Duraflex D-rings and quick-release clips, and easy-grip, rubberized zipper pulls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why ALL 5 STAR Reviews? FOR MIDSIZE DIGITALS, GET THIS BAG!, December 22, 2009

Some Guy (Traveling, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tenba Xpress Shoulder Bag (Black/Grey) (Electronics)

I looked at Sony, SwissGear, Nikon, Lowe, and MANY others, mainly, to fit my Sony H7 Camera, the Sony wide angle, Sony Telephoto & the lens hood in the same main compartment. (Best protection)

Did it make it? You betcha! And Comfortably!

The closest competitor for me was Swiss Gear "Large" case.(Which isn't really "large"?)It was nice. It would have fit an H7 or alike(H5, H9, H50, or other small w/big zoom cameras: Nikon, Canon, Casio, etc.,...) and one lens, "maybe" the hood and lens in the same space.

Where others are lacking in material quality, missing plastic railed bottom, not enough room, not enough organization, a snap closure but no zipper, a zipper but no snap closure, no handle, or any thing like that. Well? "Somebody" did their homework on the TENBA XPRESS! ..... Thick Nylon (I think it's "Ripstop"); tight seams; Quick access on outside top flap (that I use for batteries, or course); Pull the snap closure and you have a zipper still holding the main compartment shut; if you leave the main compartment zipped, you still have access to a media/battery pouch in front); unzip the top flap and you have the well padded main compartment, with 2 thick dividers; underside of top flap, has another zip mesh pocket; each outer side of bag has end compartments that zip, with mesh pockets inside; folder type pocket in back is where I'll put a flexible 6-7" tripod stand; & the Xpress comes with a handle and strap! THIS THING IS AN ORGANIZING DREAM, for this size camera and like lenses of any make! (You can go much smaller if no hood or lenses. But if you have the Telephoto, Wide Angle & Hood, This is it!(IMHO)

With the usual adapters, cords, charger, cleaning cloths, batteries, or what ever, it measures packed, for me, at 10.5" long X 7" tall(about 8" w/ cloth/foam handle) X 5 3/4" deep(front to back); with the viewer against the back of bag, and bottom of camera to the left(from the front of bag) I have an inch of room, to the top of opening. The telephoto and hood placed at the left of the camera(which is in the middle) and wide angle to the right of camera, separated with the 2 dividers. ... Just, Nice fit!!

I am impressed! They covered everything I found lacking in the others, for what I wanted in size, quality, and organization. ..."To each their own on cases, of course!" It's all personal choice for what you are putting in and what amenities wanted! The ONLY thing it doesn't have, for a bonus, that I saw on "only" one other, was the end compartments had a way to pass through to the main compartment. And I can easily live without that!

I believe there are different color variations, also. I have Black with Gray accent panels.

Best way to check size for me is bring the main larger components to a store and try it out!(Doesn't mean I/you have to buy it there.)

If this isn't the right size for you, I would still, seriously, check out TENBA!

I paid under $20 for a Brand New one! .... I would have paid $35, but didn't have to! :)

This is my first camera bag. It fits my needs perfectly. In the main compartment I have a Canon XSi body, my Canon 18-55 lens and a Canon 55-250 lens. All three fit very snugly with very little room to spare. I also have a Canon SD1000 point and shoot in the top of the main compartment. Otherwise, there's not a ton of room for extras, but on either side I have the battery charger and a Gary Fong Puffer Flash Diffuser. In the front pocket, there is room for pens and 2 slots for memory cards. I have the wires that came with the camera in this front compartment. There's some room to spare in all these compartments, but certainly not enough for a flash or a tripod (haha). There's also a slot in the back were I can squeeze my user manual.

The bag seals very well. It seems weatherproof, although I haven't test this theory.

Overall, it's a excellent bag, especially for a starting photographer like myself without a ton of gear. I'm very happy with it.
