Video Review
With regards to accessibility, it takes a bit longer to remove the camera from the bag due to the zipper and clips. I don’t mind this feature seeing as the camera is better protected, however if you want to take the camera out quickly this bag may cause some difficulty.

Bottom Line
All in all, an excellent bag for travel and camera protection. Despite not carrying as much as I had anticipated, it’s still made of high quality materials and would function perfectly for day trips.

I was just wondering…what is the correct way to pack an SLR camera in its case? Face down (lens facing the bottom of the bag)?
If the bag is able to support the camera the weight wouldn’t be on the lens. It seems that a holster type camera bag
gives enough protection that it should not be a problem.
The design of the lens probably also is a factor.
