Review : Tamrac 5210 Explorer 10 Camera Bag (Black)

"This bag ended up being a little larger than I wanted to carry around. I bought it for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K. The camera fits, but due to the design, it "sticks" a little when you are trying to get it in and out (strips of velcro on the inside get in the way). It just seems like sort of an odd size - too big for just the camera & a couple of memory cards, but too small for all of the accessories that come with the camera. It's a fine case, but just didn't work well for me. I found a Case Logic case that ended up working much better."

I bought this bag as it was the Amazon recommended bag for the new Panasonic Lumix FZ8 camera I bought at the same time. Shortly after receipt, I took both on a 10 day vacation to Hawaii. I found the bag to work well when carrying the camera and a few basic accessories. But the bag was too small for carry additional accessories such as a small 5" tripod and those same basic items. I ended up carrying the tripod tied to the shoulder strap where it was easy to use.
