Digital camera reviews of Tamrac 5501 Explorer 1 Camera Bag (Black)
Digital camera Review: Decent DSLR Kit Bag
Summary: 4 Stars
Tamarac just barely missed the mark in creating the perfect compromise between a holster bag and a full-on shoulder bag here.
Received this today and overall I'm quite happy with the quality. Nice thick padding, sensible pockets for your lens caps, batteries and other minutia.
But it is a bit cramped in the main compartment. I've got a Pentax K10D with the 18-55mm kit lens and it fits snugly lens down with just enough room underneath the right side of the camera for the lens flare and just barely enough room in the left side for a modest telephoto/zoom lens to snuggle in. There's no way the camera will fit once I have the battery grip, nor is there be room for an additional wide-angle or other stubby lens.
The bag itself is constructed well, as I said the padding is excellent, the exterior zippers and clasp are meaty enough that they aren't going to break anytime soon and it is made out of good tough "ballistic" nylon.
This bag boasts being "modular" in that you can buy additional pouches that attach to the sides and strap which is "neat", but I don't see it being very practical or economical. If Tamarac had just expended the time and energy for this gimick in making this bag just one inch wider and deeper it really would be twice the bag that it currently is.
So for me, it's a great bag for right now, but as my kit grows with more lenses and filters. etc. in the near future I'll buy a larger more suitable bag and either use this one for our old Minolta film SLR or just shelve it for having something small to take on simple outings.
Digital camera Review: Durable and Compact
Summary: 4 Stars
This bag is constructed well and features configurable dividers. The little pockets are great for storing cards and accessories. There's just enough room to store my Canon and an extra lens.Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a case for my camera and attachments including a second lens, and this worked fine. It has an adequate amount of padding so I am comfortable that my camera will be safe. I would recommend the product.Digital camera Review: Good Service from Amazon!
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered, and Amazon shipped in time, very good service from Amazon. For this Bag, so far so good, a little bit small for me to put my Canon DSLR with Two Lens.Digital camera Review: Great Camera Bag
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item for my husband for the Nikon D40 camera, everything fits perfectly in the bag and has room for another lens and equipment. The price on this product is unbeatable and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a handy carrying case.
