 Another + for Canon XSI Owners Great Bag |
| Review Date: July 15, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Leonard Eng, |
So I have the XSI and now the next step to protect the baby is to get a good bag. Requirements
1) That it is Tough (able to take the weather, bumps and scratches)
2) Big (but the right size to hold some extra gear and not overwhelm the bag)
3) OEM is always nice
4) Affordable
5) Comparable to other top notch bags in terms of design and function.
The bag is just darn nice. XSI sits in the middle protected with lens on, extra lens and battery are there, even got the wife's point and shoot Canon along for the ride. There is room for the flash later and bonus tripod straps for serious work. Heck for this price and a free battery! One word... DEAL! Thanks

| I bought this bag to store, carry, and protect my Rebel XSi. The extra battery and filter were just icing on the cake, since the bag was really what I was after. I love that the sections are all removable and you can customize how you want the dividers set up. I have my camera body, two lenses, all the instruction manuals, lens pen, extra battery and chargers, usb cables, usb card reader, photo tips book, and all my extra memory cards in it. There is still room for my P&S and two more lenses or one lens and a flash. The bag is perfect and will grow with me as I add more accessories next Christmas! I also like the fact that there are tripod straps on the front for when I get a tripod, and the bag zips so nothing will accidently fall out. Padding seems adequate and I know my precious camera is safe. It took several weeks to arrive since it was out of stock, but it was totally worth the wait! |
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING THIS ITEM

Im baffled by how no one has not only mentioned, but actually thought they received a 200-DG bag in this kit. After doing some thorough research, this kit looked to be a steal with a canon battery, a $17 filter, and come with a 200-DG bag (as listed on their description). After reading a number of reviews on how people were satisfied with their purchases, and what a steal of a deal it was (most people who bought this kit left their reviews on the 200-DG page as they were only rating the bag), I pulled the trigger on this set. As the product reached my door step yesterday, I was in for one hell of a surprise.
The battery and the filter is just as described. But I believe most people who purchased this kit, like me, expected the 200-DG bag to come along with it which, it is not. Upon further investigation, I learned that I could not even compare this bag to the 200-DG bag because it is not sold separately. This bag was made for this kit only. Since there was only one picture available on amazon for this product, I couldn't get a close look at the bag through the picture since it is displaying several items at the same time. But if you look very very carefully, you can see through the bundle picture that it is drastically different than the 200-DG bag.
Some of the notable differences between the 2 bags:
200-DG uses metal buckles and rings while the bag included in this kit uses plastic
The build quality and the materials used to construct the bag looks to be a lot better on the 200-DG
The bag in this kit uses a zipper top. The 200-DG uses velcro
The 200-DG bag, according to the dimensions provided by amazon (I confirmed it on the canon website) is actually smaller than the rebel bag based on my measurements.
Since there are no product description for the size of this bag, I'll list it here as well.
200-DG Exterior Dimensions 10.5 x 7.5 x 7 inches (WxHxD)
Rebel Bag Exterior Dimensions 14 (including protruding exterior pockets, 12 not including) x 7.5 x 9 inches (WxHxD)
Very surprised to find that this bag is actually a little bigger, given that the 200-DG bag seems to be much bulkier in the pictures. Overall, it is still a good bag, and will fit a camera base + 4 lenses and plenty of pockets here and there to store a plethora of other things. My assumption is that this is probably more of a $35-$40 bag, so you would be paying an extra $35 for the addition of the battery and the UV protectors. It's not a bad deal still if you needed all three of these things, but it is a much different deal than the advertised $56 bag plus a battery and UV protectors for an extra $20.
I gave this canon kit 5 stars because it is still a good product, and I didn't want to give it a bad rating because of Amazons mistake in the product description which would be unjust for canon. Hopefully upon reading this review, it will help everyone make a more informative purchase. |
Great product for the best price

I bought this as a Christmas present to go with my husband's new Digital Canon Rebel XS camera (I splurged this year!). This was the best price I could find - and I searched for a while considering what I spent on the camera! Amazon's price even beat out Wal-Mart, and Amazon has fast & free shipping too!
The case is nice and large. It fits the camera, 3 lenses, the manual, filters, and extra batteries. I really couldn't ask for much more...plus, I knew that my husband would like a bag that stated "Canon" on it versus a generic brand camera bag.
Overall, you get an excellent deal with this starter kit (best part is the extra battery which can cost $50+ alone) - I recommend it for everyone who has a Canon Rebel. |
Excellent Value!!!!!

| This is a great value, the battery and filter would be around the whole price hear (with Bag). The Bag is nice, its a good size, Druable, and pretty stylish. I can fit but my digital rebel XSi, Old rebel 35 mm and two lenses, flash and other accessory's. |
