Product Description

Designed for today's pro-compact and compact digital cameras, the Cirrus Series easily protects both camera and lens from the outside elements. The interior features a memory card pocket for quick changes and brushed tricot lining protects the LCD screen and lens from abrasion. The exterior of the bags are built with a tough water and abrasion resistant fabric and can be attached through either a belt-loop or with an included shoulder-strap. This lightweight and compact top-loading bag provides digital camera users with solid protection and fast access to capture those spontaneous moments.

Exactly what I needed5
I have a Canon 5D with a 16-35L II lens (which is close to the length of a standard 200mm zoom) and this case fits perfectly. It's definitely a very tight fit but that's what I was hoping for. I bought this case to keep my camera safe on hiking trips. There is a little sleeve pocket on the back and a little compartment on the top. You can probably stuff 2-6 flash cards in the top compartment and some lens cleaning supplies in the sleeve. If you like to carry lots of accessories then look elsewhere but if you are looking for a minimalist solution (especially for backpacking) then buy with confidence.

Great for SLR+lens4
This case does what it's intended for very well. It's light, compact and holds my Nikon D80 and attached 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens. The build quality is excellent and the lining and padding are very nice. If you just want to carry an SLR and a large zoom lens, this is the bag for you. The price is hard to beat.

However, that said, I'm going to be looking for another bag in the near future. I have a Tamrac that holds several lenses, speedlight and an SLR, but it won't hold them all with a lens mounted. So, I was hoping this bag would be my solution to keeping a superzoom on the camera all the time. I overlooked my desire to keep a speedlight and filters handy. I use fill-flash a great deal of the time and this bag has no provision to carry one. There isn't enough extra room in the main compartment for a speedlight and the small side pouch will not comfortably hold a filter-carrier. There are no side-loops or other attachment points, just a thick belt-loop on the body-side.

I'm currently looking at the LowePro Mini-Mag as I think it might be the solution for my particular application.

Product Description

Many camera bag manufacturers rely on looks rather than function when designing their products. The Lowepro TLZMINI-B reflects a change in that kind of thinking. Not only is this bag attractive, with it's rugged material & stunning black color, but this bag is also extremely functional. It features a main compartment that fits an SLR camera with a short zoom lens comfortably & securely. The top-loading design allows you to easily retrieve your camera at a moment's notice.

Amazon.com Product Description
Don't let the size of this tiny top-loading camera bag fool you. This take-along easily carries a small SLR with a short lens, multiple rolls of film (in the outer pocket), and accessories (in the inner laminated mesh pocket). Slip it onto your belt or carry it over your shoulder.

Camera glove4
I have a NIkon D40 with the default lens. It just fits into the bag, lens down, and some maneuvering is required to get the camera strap in neatly so the bag can be zipped closed. The camera bag can either be carried by its handle or with an easy on-off shoulder strap. It seems to be sturdy, well padded and reasonably well made. It protects the camera, but that's about it. For $19.99 it's a good deal.

Just big enough5
I have a Canon XSi and its just enough for the XSi and kit lens. Its good for me because I dont like holding onto too many things when I travel.

Excellent value5
I use this bag to carry a superzoom camera. The camera is held securely -- no wiggle room, but it is still easy to get it out of the bag. There is adequate room for extra batteries and memory cards, plus a few small odds and ends -- and that's all I need. The quality of construction is good. They use lightweight materials, so the bag doesn't add much weight of its own. The only downside is that I would have liked a wider shoulder strap or a perhaps a shoulder pad. But comparable bags, especially in stores, cost a great deal more.

Great Bag5
This bag has worked great for me. I have all my camcoder eq. that I need inside this bag. It has been great. My Panasonic PV-GS85 fits great.
