Average rating: Stars

okay case

The bag is pretty good, but it's a bit tight for the digital camera I bought. Not a flaw in the case, but not the best for ultra zoom type digital cameras.

Incompatible with Panasonic Lumix FZ1

The manufacturer apparently states this case is compatible with the Panasonic FZ1 (and by extension the FZ3 which has an identical body). I bought it and can report that it is not compatible with the FZ1. With just the lens cap on you have to jam it into the bag sideways and then wrestle with the camera to get it back out. If you prefer to use the camera with the lens hood adapter on the camera can't fit in the bag at all. There's also no padding speak of with this case. By comparison my Lowe case for my Canon EOS Elan provides a secure, padded repository and you can put the camera in lens down with the strap on top so the camera can easily be withdrawn again.

Targus makes decent laptop cases, but they have a great deal to learn about camera cases apparently.

Apparently it does fit some cameras, just not the Panasonic FZs.

Considering the product is made in China one should be able to expect a bit more at this price.

Smaller Than It Looks

I have mixed feeling on this photo-backback. It's not bad but it is small......smaller than it looks in the photos. I'm barely able to squeeze my Canon Digital Rebel (300D) + 300/4 IS + 1.4X teleconverter. Length-wise it is a VERY tight fit. Of course that combination is 13" long. There is room left width-wise for one more body and a small lens or flash.

The dividers act as padding but the built-in padding of the pack is minimal. The zippers look a bit flimsy too but no problems yet. There are a couple of other exterior pockets, (one on the straps for a cell phone) that might be handy. I would not pay anymore than $12 or so + shipping from an alternate Amazon seller for this pack.
