Tamrac 5510 Blue Review by R. Kistler "reiddk" (SE MI)
Purchased bag for use with Canon S3, and it is just about "perfect" for that usage.
Have Lensmate adapter mounted to S3, and combination sits nicely (lens down) in center of bag, cushioned by 2 flexible dividers.
A folding lens hood and filter box fit outside/beneath the "right" divider, and an UltraPod II sits behind the "left" divider (head down / legs up - this extends above back of camera, but below zipper height).
Keep the original lens cap & a cleaning cloth inside the zippered compartment beneath the top, and store the S3-to-USB cable in the small pouch on the outside of the top flap (either could also hold a limited number of SMALL items).
The zippered compartment on front of the bag is odd-shaped (curved at tops & sides) but works OK: there are 2 pouches for media (SD cards in this case), with red flaps to separate used from unused, plus a slip pocket that holds 8 AA batteries. You can also sit smallish items in front of these pockets - a Razor cell phone fits easily, but my Axim (in a RhinoSkin case) BARELY allows the zipper to close.
Nits (not sufficient to result in a "4" - but wish there was an option for "4.5!"): 1) Inner compartment is not "see-through"; 2) although the main compartment zipper is nicely covered by the top - providing some weather seal - the lower half is not buffered from the camera compartment; 3) would Really have liked a "back pocket" - as it is, there is no place to carry the camera manual (if using interior dividers, as currently am). And, finally, 4) although the shoulder strap is sturdy enough, it has only a THIN piece of Non-slip material sewn in, instead of a nice Padded rest. OTOH, walked around Grand Canyon and Monument Valley for several days without pain, and was impressed with overall utility - and protection - provided by the bag.
PS: This bag would probably fit a smaller SLR OK, but our Pentax K10D is too tall: the 5510 is too narrow fore-and-aft to hold the K10D easily - and also too narrow side-to-side to hold a 2nd lens even if you did jam in the camera body (with one lens attached). Also, this much weight Might make the lack of padding on the shoulder strap more of an issue.
Tamrac 5510 Blue Review by K. Yagi (Cupertino, CA USA)
I have a Canon 30D. I don't have multiple lens and just wanted to carry my camera with maybe a few accessories like an extra memory stick or lens wipe.
This is perfect. There is plenty of padding inside so I feel the camera is protected well and also small enough for me to carry around everywhere.
You can either zip it closed when you are done using, or clip close so you can be prepared to take out the camera anytime.
I'm pleased for the price. They have these on display at Circuit City. I found mine there, but I bought it from Amazon to save a few dollars.
Tamrac 5510 Blue Review by TJC
Nice quality bag that fits my Panasonic G1 well. But, it is not very large, so don't expect to put too much beyond the camera/extra battery/charger in it.
