In the past I've used outdoorsy or backpack type bags to carry my DSLR camera. It's great when roaming around the woods, but just out and about it's a bit out of place. I wanted a more stylish option that was padded appropriately for my camera.

This one definitely gets style points. I ordered the gray. The texture and color both play off the black flap closure and strap nicely. I was quite excited when I opened up the package. The inside was soft, dark material that I've come to expect in camera bags. My first and only concern was that it looked a little on the small side. I was unsure if my DSLR camera would even fit.

The answer was no. I tried a variety of combinations and could never get the camera to fit properly in the bag. It would bulge at the sides or out the front. The body of the camera I have now is more compact than my previous model and it's still too big. It would be better used for slightly larger, point and shoots that replicate some features of a DSLR.

The overall design is nice. Again I liked the coloring of the gray and black. The inside of the bag is soft with a divider that can be rearranged based on preference. On the sides are two mesh pockets, for quick access, and a zippered pocket in the front. There's an additional, larger zippered pocket at the back with mesh dividers.

Beneath the bag's flap is a zippered closure, and the flap is magnetic as well; offering extra protection or easier access depending on your needs. The bag's strap is smooth and reminds me of material that's used in newer pet leashes. The strap is adjustable and has a padded shoulder piece. The clasps that connect the strap to the bag are excellent and unlikely to come undone.

The design of this bag is great. I just wish I could use it as a camera bag.

This item was purchased at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Great quality case. Great design. I feel very comfortable using this bag for my Canon Powershot SX400 Digital Camera. There are many pockets!

This is a great bag. Very sturdy and good looking. My only complaint is that the cover is a bit tight. If I have my camera in there, I pretty much can't have anything else on the side pockets if I want the top to be able to close the bag with the snaps. Other than that, I am very happy with it, I use it as a purse so that I can always carry my camera with me.

I love this bag, it is exactly what I want and it is a bit of a tight squeeze with a Canon 5D, two lenses and a flash, but it works and I am extremely happy with it, with the quality of it and the color. Would definitely recommend it.

I love this bag. I use it to carry my Nikon D200 and 2 lenses. Its weatherproof, plenty of space for 4 more lens etc. However, I think I should have gone for 350 version which would have some space for my laptop too. But this is a bargain. If you do want to use it for purely your camera, then way to go. I find it little difficult to carry my tripod in this bag though.

I really like this bag.  I can be used for a number of purposes, but I use it for my GPS.

Bag arrived a week earlier than anticipated. Like others the design is what had me decide on this bag. I love that I can access my camera from the back opening and that others can't try to steal it from me while I travel. I love that it just looks like backpack.

To setup my camera compartment, I used my camera to help me get it all together. There is a lot of storage and well placed compartments. The shoulder straps are stiff, but it is brand new, so I am breaking them in. It is not uncomfortable for me. If any changes occur that change my mind about the bag, I will update.

I bought this for my Canon SLR camera, but if you have any accessories, there isn't really enough room for all of them.  I'd suggest a larger bag for that reason.  It's a good and well made bag.

very nice bag, room for a camera and maybe three lenses and the incidentals for a shoot but kind of makes me worry about the ease offered to a thief. do you really want a big "NIKON" emblem on the front of a bag that can hold all your gear? it looks like a camera bag. personally i don't want to carry everything in one well labeled bag. maybe for traveling but i wouldn't check it in as luggage and would prefer kind of a worn daypack or something but with padded dividers like the nikon. i would like to have some velcro for the lid along with the fastex buckles, just because i don't always buckle it. it is comfortable to carry and i don't like carrying anything. you can set up the dividers any way you want, there are plenty. it offers good padding but the idea of packing my camera lens down or display down doesn't appeal to me. can't find anything wrong though. only four stars because i think the nikon badge is a bit gaudy after i bought it so i am selling. i normally will keep my camera in an old wool hat on the floor of my pickup, blends right in so this is a bit much. i keep lenses in one bag, usually at home and the camera plus a lens in a little bag or have a belt case for one lens for out in the world.
all in all a great gadget bag to keep everything organized and dust free.

A little bigger of a camera bag than I require but I like that it has multi-uses as a laptop bag also. However, the leather shavings shed on to the canvas quite a bit. I'm hoping it will eventually be done doing that.

I'm a little bummed, because I didn't know this bag was available in different colors.  I would have loved to have gotten the purple one.  The store I bought it at only had the black.  But, that's OK, my husband probably wouldn't have been too keen on carrying around a purple camera bag, especially if I were to ask him to put it on his belt.

This is a great bag for the price.  It feels really sturdy, and is the perfect size for my Canon A540.  I can even fit four extra batteries in the little pouch, although it would be nice if the pouch had it's own closure so that the batteries would be secure while taking the camera out or putting it back in.  It also would be nice if it had someplace for the camera's wrist strap to come out....we've taken the wrist strap off of our camera (against my better judgement) to avoid having to cram it into the bag.  Otherwise I'm very happy with this bag.

I bought this because I was hoping for a subtle way to carry my camera. Ooops. Not subtle at all. This backpack SCREAMS camera bag. It is very firm and has a hard-shell appearance.  When I bring it on vacation, it takes up half a suitcase.  The good thing about it, though, is that it really protects a camera. It is comfortable. I can fit a lot in there. It is secure. It is high quality.  I bring it on photo shoots and when I travel. More of a straight camera bag, though, than an all-purpose bag. I use the across the chest strap and one of the clips came off. I was able to fix it. I am a large person and this bag still fits me and is comfortable, though looks slightly ridiculous (I think because it is such a firm "bag"). Overall great purchase, though. Fits a T3i and multiple lenses, plus a water bottle, lens cleaner, etc.  Oh, and I know one of the features is that you can keep the bag on, flip it around and open it. I've never been able to make that work.

One review for this product mentioned that this bag is too large for a point-and-shoot but too small for a SLR camera.  That may be true, but I am using mine to store my 20x super-zoom point-and-shoot, my HD camcorder, and my little 3x zoom Fuji camera.  That way, I always have the choice to grab the little camera for great indoor shots at higher ISOs, or the camcorder (rather than shooting sub-par video with my super-zoom), or my super-zoom for great outdoor shots.  Being able to keep all my gear with me in this one bag is great for travel and makes this bag very versatile for my needs.

I loved the design on the bag but it is way too small. I was hoping to fit my Cannon Rebel in this bag along with things like my wallet but it could not hold it all. :(

Was looking for a camera bag to travel with on an airplane and exchanged for this immediately after realizing the BP 150 was too small for my needs. The 250 can accommodate my DSLR in "Ready to shoot" mode - with battery grip and 24-70mm lens attached - and also an additional lens and leaves a little bit of room for an additional accessory, which is my case is the battery charger and extra batteries. I'm still a bit let down by the fact that i can't fit anything else in the intended camera compartment, and have to put my flash and Spiderholster Pro in the upper compartment. I don't have a tablet to take advantage of the intended slot for that but I could put smaller accessories, a book or two, or other travel based items in in.
Worst part is, I might not end up taking my DSLR on vacation with me as I intended, but I am planning to do some city street shooting in the future and I think this will be good for such an occasion for anti-theft - though the camera would be on my waist via the Spiderholster - but I would be able to then take additional lenses, or perhaps and additional camera. Only rating it 4 stars because I have yet to enjoy this product to the fullest. I may return to this review and add the other star after I actually USE it and if I end up taking it on the plane or get to utilize all the compartments for their intended purpose.

This is absolutely the perfect photo bag for me. It's comfortable, rides well, carries everything I could need in the field, including a tripod. I think the design is by far the best so far.
