As a relative novice, my initial gadget bag was too small and my subsequent "pro" bag was too large - this bag is "just right." My Canon Digital EOS Rebel with lens and case, two telescopic lenses, three additional lenses, and supporting equipment (remote control, mini-tripod, filters, cleaning gear, flash cards etc etc) fit with room to spare. A great price for the perfect bag.

I thought this was the 200DG bag, the 100DG bag is HUGE. I ended up returning it, but not because I didn't like it; it is a great bag with excellent construction. I even considered keeping it due to the obvious laptop storage space, but it is just to large for my needs. I returned it and bought the 200DG bag instead. That is the bag I was looking for anyways. They are both excellent bags, just the 100DG is much larger.

I ended up purchasing this Canon 100DG gadget bag because the Canon bag that I originally wanted was back ordered. This bag showed to be larger and a little more expensive than the bag that I originally wanted to order. I am definately glad that I went with the 100DG bag instead.

This bag is very high quality, with metal clips, a strong, padded shoulder strap, and it offers a lot of padding and compartment separators. Inside is a small, padded zippered case, which holds a couple of CDs, several memory cards, and maybe even some other very small items. There is a slot for a small laptop computer. The laptop would need to be quite small though. It is large enough to hold my HP tablet PC but would not hold a much larger notebook PC. This Canon gadget bag even has straps on the outside to hold a monopod or small tripod.

At first I was a little dissapointed with the internal storage of the Canon 100DG. Upon opening it the bag just didn't seem very big inside, even though the outside looks gigantic. However, I have packed this case with all of the following:

- Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
- Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
- Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
- Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
- Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras
- Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control for EOS D30, D60, D10, 1D, 1V & 20D SLR Cameras
- Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit
- Tiffen 58mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit
- Sony Cybershot DSCW1 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
- Panasonic PV-GS250 3.1MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom
- SUNPAK RL-20 Readylite 15 Watt Super Compact Video Light
- Sony ECM-MS908C Stereo Video Microphone with Switchable Pick-Up Angle
- Bogen-Manfrotto Three Section Monopod, Black Anodized.
- Bogen-Manfrotto 486RC2 Compact Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System
- HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4400 - 2.0 GHz Core2Duo
- Canon SLR Battery Charger & Spare Battery
- Misc. Lens Filters, Lens Hoods, and Camera/Laptop Cables

As you can see, I have packed this case with my Canon EOS 40D digital SLR camera, three lenses w/hoods and soft lens cases, my Canon 580EX flash, my wife's Sony Cybershot point and shoot digital camera, our family Panasonic MiniDV video camcorder, my HP tablet PC, and even my Bogen monopod and ball head. All this and much more smaller stuff. This case can hold a whole lotta stuff! You should know, this camera bag is now quite heavy. However, the bag and carry strap show no signs of fatigue. I would not want to bang this camera bag up against something hard, because I have it bulging with all of my gear. I am very careful when traveling with this kit, but it is very nice to have all of my photo and video gear in one big gadget bag. I couldn't be happier with the Canon 100DG and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality, high capacity camera bag. I know that many people spend a lot of money on their photo and video gear and then scrimp on their camera case. Spend a few extra bucks and get a case that is worthy to hold all of your expensive gear. You can't go wrong with the Canon 100DG!

This is really a great camera bag. Its fairly large but it has just enough room to fit a 40D and 4 lenses.

I needed to replace a well worn 20 year old camera bag. Was looking for a large, but usable camera bag. This fit the bill perfectly. Can use it for multiple camera bodies and about 3 lenses, as well as all your associated gear. Well built. Surprise to find straps on it for carrying a tripod, which is well located and doesn't mess the balance of the bag when carrying it on the shoulder. First rate product.

Carries camera, four lenses, tripod and a number of accessories quite well. Still, it is compact and easy to carry. I like it.

This bag covers all of my needs; plenty of room for my camera, lenses and accessories AND a special slot for my Macbook . It's the only bag (that I am aware) that offers the padded laptop slot. It is a great looking bag too. The fabric is easily cleanable. Though it is a pretty large bag for my 5'2" frame, the padded shoulder strap makes it comfortable to tote. I am SO happy I bought this bag! It is highy recommended by me.

I purchased the bag with my digital rebel XT about six months ago. It's extremely well built, well padded with movable internal partitions. Enough roon to hold four lenses, a camera body, cleaning kit, spare battery and some filters. With all due respect to Alan, canon has never advertised this bag for carrying laptop computers, so the one flaw he found with the bag really doesn't exist.
Nice bag but too small for MacBook Pro - Review written on April 16, 2006

This bag is designed to carry a notebook in addition to your camera gear. But it was just a bit too small to fit my MacBook Pro. I could make it fit but the sides of the bag would bulge out and it did not feel like the laptop was protected. Good for notebook computers up to 13 inches wide (MacBook Pro is 14.1 inches wide). I had to return it (the bag not the computer) :-(
