The pouches on the side are not big enough to hold anything except a few sdhc cards. Pro's- Small + comact, decent padding, long adjustable shoulder strap, everything zips shutCon's - A little floppy, buckle clip in front is unusual and seems cheap, not as much storage spaceOverall, this bag was a lot smaller than I anticipated. The pouch on the front might be able to hold a cable or two, but that would almost fill it up. The main compartment is just big enough to fit a compact camcorder. It is 6 in tall x 4 in long x 3 in wide. This bag is good to squeeze a compact camcorder into and fit only a few accessories (sdhc card, extra battery, cable). If you are looking for a bigger sized bag with lots of pockets and storage space for many accessories (few batteries, all cables/cards, mini tripod) this is not the bag for you.
This bag works perfectly for me. It is compact, as most camcorder bags are, but some can be too compact. This one has just the right amount of room for my camera plus all the requisite accessories and the user manual.
When I bought my Canon HFS100 HD camcorder, I put it in my old Tamrac camera bag with other DSLR gear. For the price of this bag, it may be too much to ask. This bag is really compact for carrying my Canon HD camcorder and a few extra stuff.
Initially, I wanted to find a cylinder-shaped lens case (Lowepro) to carry my camcorder--this would have been very slim-shaped camcorder bag. Highly recommended. But during a couple of long-distance travels, I realized I'd need a dedicated camcorder bag so I can carry my camcorder separately.
I'm pleased with my purchase. On second thought, however, I realized I'd need a camcorder bag with room for extra batteries, memory cards and a power charger. So I bought this bag at a Wolf Camera store for $22.50 (the same price as Amazon).
The reason for only four stars is that the bag needs more functional divider and a shoulder strap pad.
Like:Zippered top flap -- I don't have to worry about holding it upside-down.Clip-on shoulder strap -- no sewn-in straps.Subtle top handle -- I don't like Lowerpro's "foam rainbow" handles.Just enough space -- Fits the camera, spare batteries, charger, cleaning products, and cords almost perfectly.Don't Like:Internal divider -- You can only set it at 90-degreesNo storage in the top flap -- There's space. Lemme use it.Overall:I have little issues with this bag, but the price and size took care of everything I was looking for.
Works well, we keep our 18X zoom camera in it. For our use I would not want it any smaller, but it fits and we wanted it to be as compact as possible for travel purposes.
