Canon Gadget Bag 1EG Professional Case Camera

==Canon gadget bag==

When I recieved this bag I expected the bag to be slightly bigger than it actually was, but it is very flexible to use and you can fit a surprising amount of gear into it, without it being so big that it is awkward to use.

I have two camera bodies, an EOS 40D & an EOS 50D, not the smallest EOS cameras by a long way, and four lenses, a 10-22mm wide angle, a 17-85mm, a 60mm macro and a 70-300mm tele-zoom, ...
...it, with room for another lens, lenshoods or a flashgun should I need it.

The bag is designed so that all your equipment is easily accessible, with everything to hand, and the dividers keep everything in place, so you are not continually searching around for things lost in the corners of the bag, in fact there are no sharp corners inside this bag for anything to become lodged in.

When I recieved this bag I expected the bag to be slightly bigger than it actually was, but it is very flexible to use and you can fit a surprising amount of gear into it, without it being so big that it is awkward to use.

I have two camera bodies, an EOS 40D & an EOS 50D, not the smallest EOS cameras by a long way, and four lenses, a 10-22mm wide angle, a 17-85mm, a 60mm macro and a 70-300mm tele-zoom, plus a few acessories, which all fit quite easily into it, with room for another lens, lenshoods or a flashgun should I need it.

The bag is designed so that all your equipment is easily accessible, with everything to hand, and the dividers keep everything in place, so you are not continually searching around for things lost in the corners of the bag, in fact there are no sharp corners inside this bag for anything to become lodged in.

If you have some very long super telephoto L series lenses, you could fit one laid down end to end, and still have room for a camera body and some other accessories/smaller lenses, but if you have more than one super telephoto, then you would be better off with a larger and deeper bag than this one, but for the average user this bag is ideal as it can house all your equipment in one place.

The bag is well made from strong water resistant material and is well padded giving good protection for your equipment, the zips are strong and don't stick, and the clips that hold the top flap down are made of a strong metal.

Inside there are padded dividers which can be moved around a little although they are not infinately adjustable, but what makes them more flexible is that each divider is made from a seperate padded piece joined together with velcro. and these individual pieces can be removed altogether giving you larger compartments, allowing you to fit a wider veriety of equipment into it, it just takes a little time to experiment with it until you have found the best configuration for all your gear.

There are two front and two side zipped pockets with water resistant flaps over them, there is plenty of room to store batteries, filters, remotes, cables, CF cards, etc, there is also a zipped compartment under the top flap for extra storage, there are also two adjustable straps on the base of the bag which can be used to hold a tripod which is very handy.

There is a strong handle on the top of the bag, and there is an adjustable wide strap which has a curved padded section on it making it very comfortable to carry, even when you have a lot of heavy gear in it, with previous bags that I have used, I have noticed that the strap cuts into your shoulder after a while, and you have to keep adjusting it to stay comfortable, with this bag however I have not experienced this at all, even with the bag fully laden.

Niggles

More than one Very long lens would be more difficult to accommodate.

Conclusion

This an excellent bag for up to two camera bodies and five lenses, or similar sized accessories, or a couple more lenses if you have one camera body, it is well made, comfortable and easy to use, and with the removable dividers you can adapt it to fit a wide veriety of equipment into it.

Average price for this bag is from £60 to £70.
