Nikon 5874 Deluxe Digital SLR Camera Case - Gadget Bag for DSLR D3, D3x, D3s, D7000, D5000, D3100, D3000, D700, D300s, D90, D60, D40x, D40

This bag is a size upgrade from my other Nikon case. While this case doesn't have the quality metal closings that my other Nikon bag has, it doesn't have the high price tag either...and it DOES have all the cushioning required to protect one's gear.I've managed to load it with the following:Nikon D7000 body w/neck strap18-105mm zoom w/hood attached55-200mm zoom w/hood attached50mm fixed w/hood attached35mm fixed w/hood attached3 filter cases (2 are loaded in one side pouch)battery charger (loaded in the other side pouch)spare battery (loaded in zippered portion)Giotto medium air blaster (loaded in main section)lens cleaning cloth, white balance card, etc. (loaded in zippered portion)This was just a quick load that I will probably rearrange, but with the above items, the main portion of this case is FULLY loaded...there's no room for my flash attachment, which isn't an issue for me, since I typically shoot without a flash; however, you need to be aware of this.The non-slip carrying strap is very comfortable with ample cushioning, as is the carrying handle. The case has reinforcement in all the right places and the ability to tighten/loosen the flap via the adjustable straps on each clasp.It also has a 4.5" wide piece of fabric across the back that can be sealed at the top to the body of the case. Possibly, a small tripod/monopod could be slipped in there, but I cannot guarantee this.The "many zippered pockets" mentioned in the product description is inaccurate: It only has two zippered pockets, the typical mesh one on the inside of the flap and another one on the front of the case, accessible once the flap is lifted. Both have ample storage--at least for me.The "small pocket on the outside of the top flap" mentioned in the case description is nonexistent but certainly not a deal breaker.As with any camera case, each person must consider how much gear he/she has and whether or not all of it is required on any given shoot. Of course, some of us may want to take every lens that we own...just in case. :)BOTTOM LINE: In my opinion, this case is money very well spent.

After reading the reviews I figured I'd give this bag a shot. I am NOT dissapointed! After looking at numerous bags at camera shops for way more $$$$, this one is perfect for my needs and Amazon has the best prices. I have a large bag I use for professional 35mm and 2 1/4 equipment. I no longer shoot professionally and I do not want to carry a lot of equipment. I now have a D300s w/18-200mm lens. This bag lets me store the body with the lens mounted. I still have room for another lens and the charger/AC cord/camera manual/lens cleaning supplies/fliters. The bag seems well made, sturdy, and well designed. This bag will work for any Nikon DSLR camera, or any other brand DSLR or SLR. The velcro panels are removable and can be adjusted in any configuration to fit most needs. Remember, this is a simple bag for one camera and a couple of lenses and not designed to carry a lot of equipment. The Nikon emblem is small and non-obtrusive, unlike the camera strap Nikon provides with their cameras. I'm proud to own a Nikon, but I do not want to be a walking billboard for them. If all you need is a bag to store your camera and a few accessories, you will not go wrong with this bag. Just don't pay the big $$$$ other retail stores are selling this same bag for.

This is a really nice bag, but it's way too small for me. If you have a point-and-shoot or DSLR with a couple of small lenses it's probably perfect. But if you have even one long lens there's no way to partition this bag to get them both to fit.I gave the bag 4 stars based on build quality and the fact that it is a really nice bag for the price. It has lots of pockets and places to stash memory cards, film, filters, and all kinds of stuff. A bit more padding on the strap would have given it 5 stars easy. This would also make a nice bag for a camcorder or even your lunch.Anyway, I gave the bag to my neighbor. We both have Nikon D70's, but his telephoto is physically much shorter than mine, so it should be perfect for him.Currently I'm using a Lowepro backpack case which holds everything I have, including a tripod and Nikon flash. I was looking for something that I could just throw a few lenses in and run out the door, but this ain't it -- at least for me.
