5 Stars NIKON D90 camera Bag
Great product for NIKON D90 SLR cameras
Love the style of this bag as it fits my D90 with a 18 – 105 lens.
Have a similar bag [LowePro TLZmini] for my NIKON Coolpix 5700 but this bag is deeper so that the D90 fits with the longer lens ….. Features that I like are the padding that protects my gear from the everyday bumps and knocks that happen when transporting my camera as well as the external and internal pockets that hold my extra “Film’ and spare batteries.
Size of this bag will not accept an extra lens but I never carry an extra lens so I prefer the snug fit so the camera does not ‘flop’ around in the bag. {I carry my camera while rock climbing} If you carry extra lens buy a traditional camera bag.
Very pleased with the construction fit and durability of the materials in this product
GREAT PRICE TOO!

5 Stars Perfect for the Nikon D3000
I was buying a case for a Nikon D3000 with the 18-55mm zoom lens. Based on the reviews I read on this site, I initially selected the Lowepro TLZ Mini. I discovered the fit was a bit too tight for my camera, perhaps the D3000 18-55mm lens is slightly longer than other similar 18-55 lenses.
The lens cap was against the bottom of the case, so I was concerned that any pressure on the bottom may damage the lens. The fit on the top was tight too and you had to wiggle the camera to get the neck strap in.
I returned the case and bought the Lowepro TLZ 1 instead and have been very happy with the purchase. It’s just the right size for the D3000. There are 2 supports inside the case that give space between the lens and bottom of the case. Great case!
5 Stars Great
It was exactly what I wanted, and my D60 fits perfectly with the lens. It is perfect on the go.
4 Stars Nicely fits the Canon 7D with the kit lens.
I have owned the mini version of this case for my Olympus E-510 for about three years now and have not have any issues with it, so I though I’d buy this full sized version for my recently purchased Canon 7D, and I am happy to report that it fits the Canon nicely. With the kit lens (28-135) the 7D has a little wiggle room on both sides and about half an inch form the back of the camera to the top of the bag. By folding the 7D’s strap up behind the camera it fills that extra space nicely.
This is not the case to get if you like to travel with a lot of accessories and lenses though since there is not much room left when you put a camera like the 7D in it. It has a small pouch on the underside of the cover, perfect for a compact flash card or two, and another larger pouch on the front of the case. The larger pouch can hold the charger, a cable or two, and a few more compact flash cards. The case also includes two little Velcro dividers to section it off if your camera is significantly smaller than the case.
The case is nicely constructed and can stand up to an occasional sprinkle of water. The padding is not very thick, but works well for minor impacts.
The one thing I don’t like about the case is the new shoulder strap. On the older mini version the ends of the shoulder strap were sown down. On the new one you get extra material hanging off the strap if you shorten it. Not only does this extra material get in the way, but also the strap is a bit less secure.
All in all… the prefect case for a larger semi-pro SLR (Canon 7D and 50D and Nikon D300s), but a bit too big for consumer level SLRs (Canon Rebel and Nikon D3000).
4 Stars Does what it’s meant to
I bought this bag for my new Nikon D5000 and it does pretty much what I want it to. The camera goes in lens down (it’s a topload) so it makes for easier getting out. At the moment, I only have an 18-55mm lens attached but it does seem that a longer lens would also fit as there’s a bit of room in the bottom. There’s a pocket for spare batteries and other small items but I don’t think there’s enough space for an additional lens without being too bulky. A solid product which I would recommend to other beginning photographers.
