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.

Have used Tenba products for years.
Extremely high quality of construction, form and function.
This is a great value.

Great digital camera bag. Enough room for extra batteries, a charger, extra memory cards and a second small camera, Well constructed and solid in design

I purchased this last year for my husband to carry around his Leica. He likes it and get's a lot of use out of it. A year later, it's still in good shape- nothing broken or torn or worn.

My only minor complaint is the flap over the top. It's awkward to open and requires 2 hands. Definitely not safe to use this bag without securing the top flap, so can't just reach in. Also, if you forget to zipper or close the clip, when you pick the bag up by the handle, all the contents spill out.

The bag is a compact size, can hold my husbands largish camera and our little hand-help video camera.

This bag can't be beat! While it's not quite large enough to hold my digital SLR and accessories, it will hold my rather large Fuji S8100 and Canon FS100 digital camcorder at the same time, along with cords, extra batteries, manuals and other small accessories. It's light, well-padded, has hand and adjustable shoulder straps, is easily accessible and has handy exterior pockets. I looked at countless other bags ranging in price from $25-$50 and none were better than this bag, while some weren't as good - and I paid less than $12 for this one. Who can beat that?

The bag is very good, I like it so deeply, and use it during my trip to Yellowstone park, it can have a DC, a bottle of water, battery, cell phone, etc...

I received this camera bag this week and am using it tonight to take my Fuji S700 to a function to take pics. It is very well padded inside and has two adjustable velcro sections you can take out or change up. It has outside zipper pockets for batteries, cards, etc. This camera will hold not only my camera but accessories and my lipstick, brush etc. Love it!

I got this for less than $10 on Amazon, mrked down from $53. WHAT A DEAL!!! It is a first-rate camera bag that holds a ton of stuff, easily 2 cameras and lots of film and batteries. Wanted to get another, but it seems that the deal is gone and the cheapest is $35, which is what it would likely cost at a retail store. Super value for me!
