Tamrac 5606 System 6 Camera Bag (Black) 

I found the bag to be the perfect compromise between portability and storage space. It fits my D50, 3 medium sized lenses and SB-600 flash in the main compartment. The camera is easily accessible by lifting the top flap, which can be closed either with a zipper (for storage or transport) or three clips (useful while shooting, when you don't want to mess with a zipper). The pocket in the inside of the top flap is perfect for holding filters, while the flip down side pocket provides convenient storage for memory cards. I agree with a previous reviewer regarding the side pockets, which have non-ideal velcro closures that make me wary of placing anything breakable in them for fear that they will fall out. However, the pockets are still useful for storing lens caps, a blower brush, etc. The strap is very comfortable, and I've found it easy to carry the bag on my hip for long periods of time.

All-in-all, I'm impressed at the amount of thought that went into this bag. Highly recommended.

I intended to use this bag for a 20D DSLR, a 70-200, 17-85 and 10-20 lens (with hoods) plus a 580EX flash and a small assortment of accessories. Simply not enough space in this bag for these items. I'm returning the bag and I'll shop for one slightly larger. If you carry fewer items, this might be the right bag for you.

The bag's construction is very good, with enough padding for your typical camera buff. It held my D80, with 2 lenses, and the SB600 Flash easily. The side pockets are great for chargers and anything that won't fall out easily as they only close with a velcro fastener. The back pocket is great for paperwork, and the front pocket has plenty of pockets for all sorts of accessories.

The one thing I wasn't crazy about was the wasted space that you end up with, using the interior dividers in the provided configuration. There is space below the camera body that's very hard to get into without removing the Velcro'd dividers. I ended up not using any of them and instead inserting a smaller bag I own that holds the camera and two lenses. Then I sandwich the flash (in its pouch) and a small tabletop tripod in the remaining space. Sounds crazy but it works better. Also cool if I want to grab the camera and just use the small bag for a quick shoot or for a lighter bag for a day's travel, leaving the larger Tamrac bag at home, or in the car. This way you don't have to move the camera and vital accessories from one bag to another.

All this got me thinking. Tamrac could create a system like this, kind of like a backpack I own, the CamelBak Transformer, that allows one to remove sections depending on the hike you're planning.

I have had many bags in my time as a photographer. Canon's SLR bag is pretty weak. This bag, although similar in physical size is MUCH MUCH better. The pockets, zips, section, seperators all make lots more sense and make setting up a custom home for your camera easy. Carrying it around, which is real importnat, is fine. Nice shoulder strap, and it stays put without swinging around. Opening the bag while holding is good, but I would love it if the top portion opened the opposite way - inside toward the person holding it. That hasn't been so bad though. Everytime I use the bag, I realize how much I missed out on with other bags. Love it!

Bought this bag specifically to take to the Galapagos Islands for my D200. Carried my D200, a 70-300mm and 24-85mm lens with no problem, I also carried on a regular basis my Epson P-5000 photo viewer and all the additional batteries, cards, and cables. Sometimes I even used the left over space for water bottles. Its a good compact little bag. I dragged it all over 5 different Islands over a course of 25. It went everywhere with me and took everything I threw at it. Good Choice here.
