Canon 100EG Custom Gadget Bag (Black)

I love this camera bag!!!! I mostly just take my camera to family gatherings and to cemeteries for photographing headstones (I am a F-A-G volunteer), but occasionally I go on nature walks and just out-and-about taking photos. This well-designed bag fits my every need. And it is small, very compact, extremely well made, and great looking. It feels extra secure because in addition to the shoulder strap I can strap the bag around my waist with the extra strap that when not in use can be hidden securely within a flat flap attached to the bag of the camera bag and fastened with snaps. Check out my photos to see how this waist strap works/looks. There are also ridged rubber runners on the bottom of the bag from prevent wear and to protect the bottom of the bag. This unassuming looking bag will actually hold all I need for any of my outings. The following list of equipment fits fine in the bag. In main body (very well separated with, and safely stored between, velco attachable, movable well-padded dividers): Cannon Rebel EOS 500d 10.1 MP camera; with strap + Cannon 18-55mm lens (including lens cap and ultraviolet filter) + PUFFER flash diffuser, all attached to body. Cannon 55-250 telephoto zoom lens with lens cap, ultraviolet filter, and lens end cap attached. Cannon fixed 50 mm lens with lens cap, ultraviolet filter, and lens end cap attached. Wall-Plug Cannon Battery Charger. Wall-Plug Sony Battery Charger. A small change-purse can also be tucked in for ladies who don't carry wallets in their pants pockets and don't want to tote a purese. In Top pocket: Camera instruction book (the inside zip mesh pocket will not zip, but book fits well within top of bag and is quite secure and accessible). In Front pocket: Sony CyberShot 7.2 pixel Digital Camera. Extra battery for Cannon Camaera. Extra battery for Sony Camera. Extra Data Cards. 58mm Heavy Duty Rubber Lens Hood. 52mm Heavy Duty Rubber Lens Hood. Pen. Small note pad. While strong and well made with metal clasps for the shoulder strap and to safely fasten the top of the bag closed (top also closes with a zipper closure designed to allow extra room in the top of the camera bag), the bag itself is extremely lightweight. In fact, the bag with strap attached and all the above listed equipment weights only 5 pounds and 13 ounces. That is only a little more than the every-day purse I carry most all the time. Of course, I don't need to carry all this camera equipment for every excursion. Granted it isn't easy to get everything out of the bag quickly when it has all the above listed items packed inside. However, once I am where I am headed I usually put my camera around my neck; that opens up a lot of space to be able to get to other items, get them out for switching lens and put them back in place in the bag much quicker with the camera body not in the bag. If there are any cons worth mentioning about the Cannon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG, there are only two minor ones that come to mind: 1) The clasp on the strap that hold camera bag around your waist works like most clasps on fanny packs but with a stronger, heavier clasp than the fanny packs. In fact, this can make the clasp a little bit difficult to open. This of course makes it safer for your equipment. However, I have just a touch of arthritis in my fingers and for me it is a bit difficult to open. I have to concentrate and grasp it exactly in the correct spot on the clasp. But - it just takes a second longer. 2) I am too dense to understand the point of the 'curved' shoulder strap. The strap itself is well padded for comfort. But the reasoning for the curvature escapes me. I have to assume that it has something to do with comfort. However, you really couldn't get enough weight in this bag, due to its compact size, for it to be too uncomfortable on your shoulder even if it had just a straight style strap. To me this curved designed lessens how secure the strap feels on my shoulder. I don't think I have seen this mentioned in any other review, so I am guessing it must just be me on this one. I checked this bag out at some local stores, at nearly twice the price I may add ($44.97 and $49.95 at discount stores).I wanted to get a visual feel for whether I could fit at least my camera body with attached lens, puffer, and strap and my telephoto lens both in the bag. Actually, I didn't feel after looking at the bag in person that I could get even those minimum pieces of equipment to fit. I am, obviously, not a very good judge of logistics. So I drew a diagram to scale and measured my pieces of equipment. The measurements didn't lie. When I received that bag and got everything inside, I found the bag had originally fooled me with its compact size. But I wasn't ever fooled about the price, which is why I bought it at Amazon's great and economical price and added a toy for my kitties in order to get free shipping to boot. Shipping was surprisingly fast. What an extraordinary deal!!! Now I can quit toting my camera in a hot pink six-pack cooler. Believe the reviews when they tell you - you'll be pleasantly surprised if you have 2-3 lens and a body plus extras gadgets.

Others say the bag will not hold what it claims and indeed it still comes with a tag claiming 1-2 bodies and 3-4 lens. Now, read between the lines. It does not say 2 cameras and 4 lens. That hedge probably means 1 camera and 4 lens or 2 cameras and 3 lens. Depends on size of cameras and lens, right! Here is what I got in it as a test. Not sure it is what I will carry as it is not easy to whip out to take a photo - more on what I really will carry in a moment. Depends if you are talking pure "storage" or space to pull out a camera ready for action on an actual photo shoot. It comes with two padded, moveable partitions held in place with velcro that have a flap on the top. I suppose they could be held in place vertically as I have done or horizontally. I stored a Canon T2i body on the left side, a partition, then a Canon G1 Powershot, another partition, then a 55-250mm lens on the bottom, the partition flap over it, then the 18-55mm kit lens on top. The flap from the left partition lays over the G1 leaving top of the T2i exposed. A piece of bubble wrap could lay on top of the T2i. Then, I could set my lens shade and G1 lens extender on top of that, as well as the battery pack for the T2i. Now that is a bunch of stuff and ideal if I want to transport a lot of stuff on a trip. I can even put two battery chargers, one for each camera, plus a couple of extra batteries in the front pouch with room for several memory cards in the top inside cover. Now that gets me to where I am going, but not so convenient for popping out a camera for immediate action. My tests also say that you could put a T2i body on the left and get four lens sitting vertically, maybe horizontally, depending on size of course. Anything over my 55-250mm in length or width would be problematic in that scenario, but if not trying to cram that much in, something wider would fit. You could also sit the T2i, or another in that series upright with a longer lens attached and still have room to place at least one more on the right. On a shoot, I may carry my old backup G1 in my cargo pants. What I intend to carry on a shoot in this camera bag, most likely, is the T2i on the left with battery pack installed, facing up (LCD screen down) with kit lens installed, then one partition with the 55-250mm lens lying down on the right side. With the partition's flap down, the lens shade sits on top. When I want to take a normal photo, I just reach in and grab the camera. True, the lens shade just cannot fit on the lens whether the lens is sitting vertical or horizontal in the bag unless perhaps you have it installed on the T2i and camera is upright, not vertical as I plan - have not tried that scenario. Perhaps the kit lens could still fit under it. To me that is the only flaw. I have to screw that on any time I need it. I will have a polarizing filter and UV filters installed also. Do not let anyone tell you the t2i battery pack will not fit in this bag while on or off the camera - not true. Snug, maybe, but do you want any of this flopping around? Not me! I have not given this a water test - may just give it a spray with some Scotch-Guard to be on the safe side as I will spend time with it in the outdoors and setting it on possibly damp ground. Sharp looking! Would not hesitate to buy it again! The bag appears very well made. The shoulder strap looks sturdy and well padded. I will get a chance to test it in an airport setting in a week and have a few days of intense photography over several days as all my gear is new. Exciting! 7/22/13 Update I stand corrected about the lens hood. Just discovered I can put the hood on my Canon 50-250mm lens, place it hood down vertically in the bag and it will still close fine, snug, but close. Previously I had it hood UP. For some reason that was more awkward. Plus, now I can insert a second battery charger next to the lens, or I can add my 7" Aputure Timer Remote Control. And, since I am still learning this camera, really a mini-computer, if you will, I can put the 3/8" thick instruction book in the mesh sleeve inside the top flap and it still all closes. I am totally amazed with this bag. No need for a shoe horn to get stuff in or out, but I think I have room still for a shoe horn in the front pocket if needed. Disclaimer: I don't work for Amazon or Canon although my glowing praise may make it sound as if I do.

This camera bag is perfect! It securely holds my canon powershot sx50 hs, and has plenty of room. The dividers in the main compartment are well padded, and they fold over, I suppose for extra padding, or for protection on top. The bag also has a zipper pouch in each of its front and top compartments, for holding extras items,like batteries or etc.My camera, and a lens or two is all I need to take pictures, a professional might desire a larger bag that can hold more items. The bag is good looking, and has a nice solid construction, the material feels as if it will hold up to years of use. The details in this bag really impressed me. It has two plastic feet on the bottom for added stability, the clips and rings are all made of black metal, rather than plastic, it has a nicely hidden strap to convert it into a waist pack, the bottom padding is removable and is hard sided for extra protection. Altogether, this is a great bag for the price, and I'm sure it'll come in handy for carrying my camera and the all the extras things that come along with the camera.

ok so the biggest worry for me was is this thing big enough. i will list everything i keep in mine, and where it is located that should help you decide.in the main compartment, split into 3, i fit the camera body (rebel xsi/450d must remove lens) with the battery hand grip attached in the middle. to the left of that i fit a canon 55-250mm ef-s IS lens and completely colapsed it fits perfect width wise. to the right of the body i keep another lens 18-55mm ef-s IS which even if left completely expanded fits width wise with room to spare. on the lid of this compartment is a mesh pocket which easily holds a tiffen 3 pack filter kit (uv, polarizer,warming) inside the little soft case they come in. in the main compartment thats all that will fit everything including the neck strap attached to the camera will fit and the top will zip down and clip down snug but NOT so tight it might damage your equipment. the front pocket actually held more then i thought it would for how small it is.in mine it has a retractable USB cable, both the battery charger, and its wire. a table top tripod (one of those little ones with the flexible legs),a extra sd card (in its hard plastic case),and an extra lens cap (still in the hard plastic case it came in).and with all that in there you could still squeeze a few other little things, like maybe another memory card or two. so for a trip or vacation or something this bag is ideal and really compact, an easy carry on for a passenger plane.it will fit the whole camera with battery grip and 55-250mm lens attached length wise if you needed it to be ready quickly without assembly, but you wouldn't really have space for another lens. it also has a waist strap that completely tucks away in the back of the bag so you can wear it like one of those man purse's (hip bag?)and the waist belt thing has it's own pocket in the back so it doesn't take up any of your storage space.it also comes with an ergonomically correct shoulder/neck strap. if your wondering what makes the strap different? it has a curve on the top that allows the top of the strap to fall perfectly on the load bearing sections of your shoulders rather then around the thin of your neck.... leave it to the japanese to think of everything... all in all i like it and gave it 5 stars if you have more then 2 lenses this WILL NOT hold everything. i hope this helps you in deciding.

My wife and I were looking for a camera bag to hold our DSLR (Canon T2i) with prime lens, a spare kit zoom-lens, pocket video camera (Kodak Playsport ZX3), and associated cables/chargers. We needed the smallest bag possible which would fit all of our items. Upon receiving this bag and zipping it open, I was concerned that the few things we DID have wouldn't fit. Thankfully, the bag includes pre-creased velcro separators to partition the inside and allow some organizational creativity. We ended up arranging the walls so we have a left, right, and center pocket. The walls fold down to cover up the left and right pockets (cables on the left, kit-zoom on the right), and the DSLR rests lens-down (holster-style) in the middle pocket. This gives us exactly enough room to fit everything inside the bag. The pocket video camera rides up front in the outer-zip pocket. Other than being a tight fit, the quality and construction of the bag are very solid. The padding seems good for the price range and the bottom has four rubber feet to help it stay put. Let me put it this way: if this slid off my kitchen table and hit the floor, I wouldn't be worried about my gear. You may feel differently based on the weight/size of your gear. The inside includes some embroidered canon accents on the zipper/mesh area, giving it that extra polish which makes you feel like you bought a superior (aka name-brand) product. I expect this bag to last me well beyond my current camera. So, who is this bag for? The person who needs the smallest possible carrying case to keep their small amount of gear safe. If you've already got a second bag, or have to lug around a diaper bag for your young ones, this comes along for the ride without hogging all your space or attention. Also, if you primarily shoot with a small prime lens, you can exploit the separators to create a center-holster and jam even more stuff in there. On the other hand, I would avoid this bag if you are planning on toting more than 2 lenses. Also, if you are planning on using this to carry a long lens, I would recommend finding one of these in a brick-and-mortar store to test-fit your goodies. No doubt, this is a tight bag which was probably created for camcorders, but it is perfect for us!

I got this compact bag to hold my Canon SL-1 two-lens kit after becoming disenchanted with my previous purchase, the Canon 9320A023 100ES Shoulder Bag. I liked the previous bag but found the lack of a zippered secure compartment for small items such as SD-cards to be a problem (I lost two brand new SD cards within weeks of purchase when I carried them in the front storage flap. I decided that I could not afford to be worried about losing smaller items (even the batteries for the SL-1 are small) so I did some research and bought this bag and it has exceeded my expectations for a bag in this price point. I am able to stow and quickly access the camera with standard lens and hood attached, plus my 75-300 telephoto zoom in its own padded compartment and have an additional compartment for the battery charger, another lens like my nifty-fifty, or even a canon speedlight, although the 580-EX II is a tight fit. Since I often use the built-in flash I'll rarely carry the external flash anyway. The main compartment can be zippered securely and there's a very easy to use buckle closure that would suffice for keeping things safe while working from the bag. If I were traveling I'd keep it zipped but if I'm wanting quick access to the camera or other lenses I'll use only the buckle. There is a zipper compartment in the top flap perfect for the SD cards and remote control or microfiber cloth. The front zippered compartment has two pockets for the charger and extra batteries and there is another zippered compartment in the inside front that will also carry those small, thin, easy-to-lose items safely. The shoulder strap is well made and padded and there is a hidden waist belt with clip closure stowed inside the back of the bag. Using the shoulder strap plus the waist strap I'd feel very safe bicycling with this bag, and the small size and weight of the kit means doing so would not be dangerous or tiring. I'm not worried that it has the small Canon logo on it--it is obviously a camera bag--and it is quite attractive.

Some of the earliest reviews (back from 2003, 2004) gave this bag 1, 2 or 3 stars because the measurements were very misleading. OK well it's 2010 now. Everyone who researches this bag knows it won't hold 2 bodies and 4 lenses lol Why Canon never updated the product tag, I have no idea! But whatever, it's a known typo. So I wanted to move on from that and write a review for what this bag is: Small in size, BIG in quality. For such a diminutive bag, it packs a big punch. Internal dimensions are (W * H * D): 9 * 6 1/2 * 5 1/4 inches. The main compartment holds my Canon 50D with a short prime attached (35mm, 50mm, etc.). Rebels are smaller so it can hold one with the kit lens. With my 50D there is space leftover in the main compartment for an additional lens (up to 6" in length), or other similar sized item(s). Outside there is a small front zippered pocket, the inside of which is further divided into several more small pockets. It more than big enough to hold my Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control for EOS D30, D60, D10, 1D, 1V & 20D SLR Cameras . It's also perfect for filters, lends caps, cloths, pens, etc. The top flap also has a zippered pocket but since this pocket comes down on top of your camera you won't want to put anything large or jagged in it. It's wide enough to hold the 50's user manual but it's not deep enough to zip shut with the manual inside. The case comes with two straps, a removable shoulder strap and a built-in waist strap. The waist strap tucks away into the bach of the bag so if you never use it, you never see it. And if you don't like straps, the top of the case has a nice padded carrying handle. The hardware is all metal, very high quality. The zippers, pulls and clips are all sturdy brushed metal. It's really a handsome looking bag, more masculine than some of the others I looked at. I've uploaded some photos here in case that helps.

A well made bag, but the description is misleading....It reads "Waterproof bag holds 1-2 cameras and 3-4 lenses with room for accessories". You could possibly hold four small or medium lenses, without anything else and NO accessories. You could carry two camera bodies and some film but NO lenses. But there is no way to put two bodies, and 3-4 of the smallest lenses without removing all the padding and dividers - Then you'd might as well throw them all in a plastic sack and save your money. I bought this for a Digital Rebel and regular lens - a flash and one telephoto lens and two batteries. It is busting at the seams, and I have ordered the battery pack/grip to go onto the bottom of the camera so I'll probably have to reorder a larger one. If you want a good looking canon bag that is small and compact, you'll like it, and it is well made and worth the current cost, just remember it is smaller than the description would lead you to believe.....

Good bag. Find it hard to see it holding two cameras and lenses.

Es una mochila de buena calidad, cabe perfectamente la cámara, un par de lentes pequeños, cargador y pilas. Protege bien la cámara contra las caídas y golpes No es tan práctica pero sí la recomiendo

当方Kiss×5を使用してます。 望遠レンズ1つ。本体カメラを入れる普段用にとコンパクトなバッグを探していました。 デザインや大きさが希望通りの商品で、 また商品自体とてもしっかりしていますので、値段以上に感じます。 ショップのご連絡など迅速丁寧な対応で、到着まで追跡画面で様子が見れましたので、 その点も良かったです。 これから大事に使用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

Good one 5 star 🌟

This is really sturdy bag, though the size is bit small. I can accommodate my canon 60D with kit lens, 50 MM prime lens and Canon EF-S 10-18mm plus Battery charger.
