Lowepro Vidcam 4-Video Camera Bag

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, but...
Review: ... make sure that you don't purchase this with the Sony vx2000 camcorder. Although Amazon lists this video bag as an accessory for the 2000, it just doesn't fit comfortably. You have to really jam the eyepiece into the bag, and because it's packed in so tight, it just doesn't feel protected.

The bag is rugged, and handsome. Most consumer mini-dv camcorders should fit in the bag. Probably not the Canon GL1 and definitely not the XL-1. Other than that, go for it.

As a general rule, picking a camera bag is the kind of thing you should do in a store... bring your camera or camcorder with you and try it in different bags. It's hard to guage the size and fit of a bag simply from its picture and dimensions. Plus, at camera stores you can often find nice padded bags that don't *look* like camera bags. This is a plus if you travel a lot and are a weakling (and prone to muggings), like I am.

Seriously.

Summary: Roomy and useful!
Review: Great video bag. Interior has a nice divder for storing cam on one side and supplies, tapes, power packs on the other. Has a cool front pocket for those of us that always need a *little* more room for storing something.

The whole bag seems to absorb shocks with the foam-like padding. I also like the lid which hangs over a little so things dont fall out and dirt doesn't get in.
