Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly configurable and well designed
Review: The Tamrac System 3 (and other "System") bags are very well crafted camera bags. The bag has several very attractive features.

--Handles and straps are strong and very comfortable.
--Access to bag is easy, zippers very smooth, clips easy to manage.
--Main body of bag can be reconfigured with velcro separators.
--Surprisingly high capacity (I carry an SLR body with standard lens, a 75-300 zoom, spare short focal length lens, hot shoe full flash and digital 6x zoom camera all in central pocket)
--several additional useful separators, film holders, documentation, places for lens cleaner, paper or cloths)
--durable outer shell that can take some abuse

All of this is contained in what appears from the outside to be a very small bag that easily stores for travel. Perhaps most importantly the separators, outer shell, and body construction real do appear to protect your equipment (yes I am ashamed to admit that I have had my fully loaded bag drop off of tables and down steps). Don't buy more bag than you need. If you've got a reasonable amount of gear this bag probably can handle it.

Summary: Small but very usable and durable
Review: The Tamrac System 3 camera bag is perfect for SLR owners who also have one or two compact lenses (e.g., the typical 28-200mm or 70-300mm zoom lens) in addition to the lens attached to the camera, plus a small external flash. The bag is small compared to other SLR gadget bags, but the inside can be partitioned in flexible ways. It's also well-padded, both inside and outside. It also has lining pockets for things like USB cables, camera body cap, lens caps, filters, etc. At the front, there's a compartment for miscellaneous items such as film, memory cards, pens, lens cleaning paper, etc. Hidden behind this is a pull-out pouch for batteries and memory cards, plus an ID tag (kinda hard to write on, though). You can also use the compartment this pouch is in to store film, etc, although stuff might fall out if you are not careful. At the back is another compartment, which I use to store the manual of my Nikon D70.

As you can see, this "small" bag is very versatile. In addition, you can get Tamrac's add-on pouches and pockets to attach to the strap or the sides of the bag, for additional storage.

I looked at many bags before settling on this one. It's compact and weighs about 1.5 pounds, so it's material enough to withstand tough conditions yet light enough for shoulder-use. As I mentioned it's also well padded and can accommodate extensions. If you are the typical SLR enthusiast with a total of 2-3 compact lenses and/or a small flash unit, you'll find this bag a very good fit for your needs.

Rating: 5 stars
