Thanks to this cover I have been able to throw my slr in my purse or diaper bag. It's been a year now and my camera is scratch free. I am able to take my camera with me everywhere without a bulky camera bag.

I bought this for a trip where I didn't want to lug my everyday camera bag everywhere. I coupled it with two lens wraps for a wide prime and a long zoom, and thought I could use a small slim bag for them. It worked but just barely. I guess it would depend on the bag you'd use it with. If you are just bringing your camera and kit lens, it would be great. If you are trying to bring some extras, depending on what bag you use, it could just end up being a jumble. I hope to use this in my everyday bag in an effort to take more pictures each day. Also nice if you are walking around places -- if photography is not allowed, just wrap it up and the staff should leave you alone.

As for size, it just barely fits on my Canon t1i with 18-55mm kit lens. I actually felt a few times like I wouldn't get it on. Perhaps it will stretch a bit with use. However, there is no chance of getting it on with any other lens, and doubtful if you had a hood reversed on the kit lens. But once it is on, it feels pretty safe.

I have a Canon T2i DSLR w/standard kit lens. I dislike traditional camera bags, they have tons of padding sure, but they are either really bulky or leave little room for anything else but the camera. I was heading for Disney World with my kids and I wanted to be able to carry my DSLR with me, but not have to carry a bulky camera bag. I wanted it protected inside my backpack but also be able to throw other things in there. I found this on Amazon and decided it looked like it was worth a try.

I ended up liking it quite a bit - it worked perfectly for that original purpose, protecting the camera while its in the bag. But I realized it worked well too to protect hte camera while its around my neck - so I didn't feel like I had to worry so much about it if I slung it over my shoulder. I could keep it out but protected. The case also has a little strap which attaches the case to the camera's strap, so I never had to worry about it, I pulled the camera out and let hte case dangle and it was right there to put the camera back into. It's a little bit awkward at first, but once you get used to it, I could get the camera in and out very fast.

This fits my T2i with the kit lens perfectly. You absolutely could not fit a larger lens in it though they do sell the same model made for zoom lenses.

I got the standard Zing for a Sony DSC-H20,good fit with an adapter and lens and tripod quick release.I also got a large (502-205) for a Canon Xsi and it fits perfectly with the kit lens and tripod quick release.These are great products!
