Digital Camera Bag  7.5/10

By


Case Logic SLRC-201 Digital Camera Bag and Case
This is a camera bag designed to carry your camera with a zoom lens attached. This is a good idea because a zoom lens usually makes the camera much larger and won’t fit into a normal camera bag or backpack. This way you will be ready to pull your camera out and shoot far off subjects in a snap. The hammock hanging system and memory foam interior work together to protect your camera from drops and shocks. This is a bag for someone who shoots a lot of sporting events or wildlife. This bag is available for $19.99 to $28.99.

Quick Specs

  • Weather resistant base that stands
  • Memory foam protects camera’s lcd screen
  • Made specifically for long zoom lenses
  • Shoulder strap and carry handle
  • 10” H x 6.5” W x 6.0″ D
Strengths

The hammock method of storing the camera puts much less stress on the camera body and lens

Long lenses can fit in this bag with ease, a big plus for nature photographers

The base of the bag is sturdy

The price is great

Weaknesses

Not a lot of gear fits in this bag

The hammock can stretch out with time if there is too much weight place in it
