The black ACPRO1200 Digital SLR Camera Case from Ape Case is an effective combination of reliability, functionality and price. This water-resistant nylon bag is your basic shoulder bag with all the features you need to get the job done without paying a hefty price. Built to hold 1-2 DSLRs (one with lens attached), a couple of lenses or your digital camcorder, this bag proves that big things do occasionally come in small packages.
The tough nylon exterior is complimented by a smooth-lined interior that is filled with padded, movable dividers that permit you to arrange your Pro bag to accommodate whatever gear you need that day. The dividers are not only padded but are bright yellow making them easy to see in marginal light - let's say, if you're shooting in a dark club or concert. It's a clever addition to a shooting bag that is designed to make your life easier in the field.
Within the bag itself there are fifteen pockets and compartments - more than enough to carry lens and accessories like batteries, cables, pens, filters, cleaning cloths or your cell phone, MP3 player or PDA. A zippered exterior accessory pocket keeps all the small stuff together while an internal mesh pocket serves the same purpose for quick grab items. Working in the field can build up a thirst so Ape has even included a side pull out water bottle pocket. Zippers are supplied for rapid access to the main compartment and accessory pockets while a front snap buckle makes sure the bag stays shut when you want it to stay shut. The bag also has dual tripod straps on the bottom that can also serve to secure your jacket.
The Pro is carried around by its removable, adjustable and wide shoulder strap that has an extra wide contoured shoulder pad for added comfort. For those quick grab moments, there's an additional ribbed top grab handle. An ID holder slot is located on the inside of the front flap that can hold your name or business cards. All this is backed by Ape's limited lifetime warranty against defects. For what it offers at a reasonable price point, it's a serious contender for a daily shooting bag for pro or amateur.

Was looking for a well padded case to store and carry my camera, lenses, flash, spare batteries, and excessories. While it might be a bit much to carry each and every time I want to use my camera, its much better than not having what I need when I need it. We do a lot of traveling and this case is perfect for making sure I haven't forgot something.
The case is well constructed and is easily configurable. I've used it several times and found it really isn't cumbersome to wear. The extra padding on the shoulder strap is a nice extra.

I don't have an extensive collection of camera gear right now, just a couple of lenses and a Canon DSLR. I picked this bag thinking it would handle what I have, and allow for a little expansion down the road. This bag will work very well for what I want it to do.
However, the interior panels arrangement are flipped (left to right) from the open bag picture without any real flexibility in rearranging them. Sure there is plenty of velcro on the front and back, but the left side has a horizontal strip of velcro with no vertical while the right side has a vertical strip with no horizontal. This leaves the cradle for the camera body stuck on the left side because you cannot fully secure a vertical divider to that side or the cradle on the right side. This may seem a trivial matter, however this is a basic function of this bag that has seemingly been over looked. Why use velcro in the first place if there is only one place to put your things?
Other than that, this bag will work well for me for the foreseeable future.

The camera case is great to put all your camera equipement in;cables. manual, battery,lenses. great protection. Going to use it mostly for storing the camera. i may still need to purchase a smaller bag for on the go. Too big to take to zoo or park.

Use the bag for my Canon 60D. The camera is a tight fit but I love the look of the case. The case feels good.

For the hobbyist/vacationer it's all you'll need. I have My Canon T2i, 2 lenses, 3 filters, 2 batteries & charger, Lens hood, manual, cleaning necessities and still have room for another lens of two. Nothing is cramped but all fits safely within the movable compartments. I did do some re-arranging of the padded partitions, which was no problem at all. For myself it's worked out great. It also has carrying straps for a tripod

It gets the job done; and it's versatile in that the dividers can be rearranged for your needs. Got two DSLRs in the bag, with 2 extra lenses.
My only preference is that I should have got a back pack type bag.

I bought this bag because I ran out of room in my old bag. This bag has so many pockets and is very durable. The adjustable slots inside the bag are very helpful in securing and keeping my glass and body safe during travels. I am very happy with this bag

I give this case 5 stars because it is big, and looked exactly like it did when I saw it online. I use this for my Nikon DSLR and 2 lenses. It fits so many accessories for cameras, and has many pockets to store all the essentials.
I personally think that the only thing that isn't great about it is that it feels a tab bit uncomfortable to carry on your shoulder for long periods of time.

This is wonderfully laid out . I love the yellow inside lining because you can see the objects in your case. Whoever thought of that was really using their noggin.
