CE300GR Small Chest Pack (Gray)

As with the other poster, I'm sure this is a perfectly acceptable pack if you have a camera that fits into it.The dimensions of the pack would seem to indicate that it is 3.5" deep, with a flat bottom and a consistent depth through the entire height of the pack. In the main image of the pack that you see on this page (the image all the way to the left in the series), the pack appears to be resting on a flat bottom.In reality, the bottom of the pack simply comes to a 1/2" wide point at the bottom where the flat back (meant to rest on your chest or back) meets the front side, which is much wider at the top than the bottom. Because of this, you can't simply slide an SLR or rangefinder camera with the lens attached, or even a point-and-shoot with a large zoom, into the pack with the back of the camera against the back of the pack. The zipper will not zip around the camera and lens.Instead you have to put the camera with the lens pointing either up or down, and ease the zipper around the lens. It's quite awkward to use; if extreme care isn't taken when opening the pack, a heavy camera could easily fall out and be damaged. It was OK protecting my camera inside a larger tote bag, but I wouldn't want to carry the camera in this pack alone.Having said that, the pack does seem well-constructed and padded. With the right size camera, this would undoubtedly be a winner. But I've got to keep looking for a new home for my M8 with a 28mm lens.

it's probably a good pack, but amazon is totally misleading selling it in a package deal with the canon sx20is. i own this camera, so when i saw them selling this package deal i assumed the pack would be the correct size for my camera. not so by a long shot. i have no idea why amazon would be selling this camera pack with this camera. it is way too small for the sx20is.

As other users have said, this does not work with all of the bags. I decided to risk it at the amazingly low price. I did not return it, but cannot use it. Bummer. It's very well-made, and would be great if it worked... but nope.
