Digital camera reviews of Tamrac 5501 Explorer 1 Camera Bag (Black)
Digital camera Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good bag for beginners in photography. But if you plan to become a professional (more SLR lenses, equipment, etc), then you will have to upgrade. I had the bag for four years while carrying a Nikon D50 SLR and it last a very long time.Digital camera Review: Great for my Canon XSi
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to carry my Canon Digital Rebel XSi and it fits well. The construction of the bag is great - heavy stitching and lots of padding. The top flap overlaps the zipper which helps to keep the elements out - I appreciate that feature even if it is cumbersome to zip the bag shut at times. I found that after I took the camera out once, I just used the clip to close the bag for the rest of the day. The inside of the bag easily fit the XSi (with the stock lens) and a Powershot Digital Elph SD 870IS and both battery chargers - with a little space left over. There are adjustable padded dividers for the main compartment that you can move to better fit your camera as well. There are straps on each side of the bag to attach other Tamrac accessories - like small lens cases. The front zipper pouch can hold several memory cards - and I kept my Blackberry in there as well. There is also a pouch along the back of the bag that could hold things like maps, a passport, or other items that you need to get to quickly. I was completely satisfied with the bag - and the price was right.Digital camera Review: Great for smaller loads (2 lenses or less)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this bag to have something compact to carry my XTI around with. The padding and overall quality is very good. It has enough room for our SLR with lens (i had to put packing peanuts at the bottom though as my lens won't quite reach the bottom in that orientation), and it has comfortable space for another lens and the accessories (battery pack, memory cards, cleaning pen, instruction booklet, wires). Overall I am satisfied with the bag.Digital camera Review: Great little bag, good protection
Summary: 4 Stars
A tad smaller then what I needed for my D40 Nikon SLR and 2 lenses, but it all fit fine. Very durable and easy to carry around with good protection.Digital camera Review: Great starter bag
Summary: 5 Stars
This bag is great. It's sturdy, protects our camera well, has lots of pockets for storage of extras, and is easy to carry and lightweight. It is small, though, which is perfect for us. We just have the camera body and one lens (a Canon Rebel XS with the kit lens - 18-55mm). The camera fits snugly in the bag with the lens attached, and the case would probably fit one more lens and a flash. Right now, we use the extra space in the bag to fit our point-and-shoot, which is pretty handy. We also have our memory cards, battery pack, and USB cords for the camera stored in the front pocket. If you've got any more than just the basics, though, you'll want a bigger bag. I suggest going to the Tamrac website, where they have all the specs on all their bags, plus diagrams with about how much each bag will fit. We did that, and ended up with the perfect bag for what we need!
