Digital camera reviews of Tamrac 5766 Velocity 6x Compact Sling Pack (Black)
Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. Easy to get the camera in and out even with my telephoto lens. How did I live without it? I travel a lot and take lots of pictures and this makes carrying the camera and accessosries easy and the camera is easy to get to.Digital camera Review: Love this bag!
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with most of the other reviews. The Tamrac 5766 Sling Pack is perfect for my Nikon D40 plus one lens. The front pocket is slim, but fits a passport, money, and lipstick, which was important for me as I want to use this bag for travel instead of a typical camera bag or shoving my camera into a backpack.
Great value for money.
Digital camera Review: Nice design, but too small for DSLR
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this bag thinking it would be perfect for my new DSLR. Unfortunately, my entry-level Canon XTi fits too snug in this bag...and for those of you familiar with this camera, you know that this is the smallest DSLR out there along with the D40/D40X . The top zipper was holding on for dear life when I tried to squeeze the camera strap in there with the camera.
I quickly returned this bag and upgraded to the Velocity 7x 5767 instead. The 7x will also give me a chance to expand my lens collection being able to hold a 50 prime and basic telephoto lens.
Digital camera Review: Nice for point&shoot but too small for m4/3 cameras
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hoping to use this with my Olympus E-PL1 camera, but this bag is too small. I have the viewfinder VF-2 for my camera, and the camera barely fits in the bag when this is attached. I currently also have the official Olympus mini-backpack. It has more room and is easier to get camera in/out, than this Tamrac 6x bag, but it's not a sling. I was hoping the Tamrac would be better.
There is not enough room to easily grab my camera in and out of the Tamrac. The side lens compartments are too small, even for 4/3 size lens. The lens fits, but you can't easily take it out of the bag. The diagram picture of the interior is no where near accurate in size. You can't fit a charger or lens and get to it easily. Also if you have a camera strap, you will spend more time folding it neatly every time you put the camera in the bag, to just get it to fit. I will try the 7x bag, but be warned the 6x is more for smaller P&S cameras, not even micro-four-third cameras fit good. Quality of the bag is good, and there is ample padding. I wish the main compartment had a double zipper to open it. It only opens from one side.
Digital camera Review: Nice idea, but not realistic
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this case as a gift to use for my Canon XTI. Like another reviewer here I have to agree that this case is not large enough for most digital slr's even with the kit lens on. The issue is that the case itself is too narrow. When I try to squeeze my XTI into it, the flash gets pressed dangerously into the camera body. Also, if I try to fold the flap over and (try to) zip it up the screen gets pressed equally hard into the interior of the flap (think scratches). Therefore, both the edges of the case and the space between the interior divider and the top are inadequate.
So, while a snug fit is usually desired in cases, this Tamrac is just too narrow to accommodate even so small a camera as my XTI. Other than that, the quality isnt bad and the idea of the sling strap seems nice.
I will say though that Tamrac does have larger model cases, so it might be best to upgrade to a larger size.
