CADeNCADeN Camera Bag Case Canvas Compatible for Nikon, Canon, Sony DSLR/SLR Mirrorless Camera with Tripod Holder, Camera Shoulder Messenger Bag for Men/Women Brown

It's pretty sweet! Way better than I expected. It has excellent padding. You can feel the weight of the protection, in the sense it feels good and quality. The bag isn't heavy where I have concerns over carrying it for a long period. I'm excited to use it and own it. I have a Nikon D5500 with an extra 300mm lense. The bag has more than enough room. I can add on later and easily have space. Nice bag!!

Although intended to be a camera bag, I ordered this bag to use as a carry on bag to store under the airplane seat to hold my sandwich, snacks, iPad, beverages, etc. Overall a very sturdy, high quality bag that seems very durable. It will take some getting used to as my prior bag was easier to open up with just a zipper, this bag has a zipper and straps with metal clips. This bag does have a nice internal and external zippered compartment which is nice to more easily find and more securely store items. It fit under the seat without any issues, so that was good to confirm. Not sure why the handle isn't placed in the center of the bag, but it would be nicer for the handle to be centered. Looked at many stores and on-line to find a bag to replace my worn out carry on bag and this was the closest that I could come to what I had used for many years, so far I am pleased with my purchase.

I ordered this bag in the coffee version and like the color. I have a Think Tank camera bag and another good camera bag but they are a bit too large to fit into my suitcase which is one of those with a zipper divider between the halves of the suitcase. I was concerned my Think Tank would warp or wear if I kept on slightly smashing it into my suitcase and the other bag won't fit. I wanted something thinner I could take on travel. What I noticed about this Caden messenger style bag is it had 2 straps on the bottom so I could attach a travel tripod. Since it doesn’t look camera baggey I can also use it as an carry all when not loaded with camera equipment. I sprinkled a few drops of water onto the bag and they beaded up so for now there is some protection from water/rain.There are nice touches to this bag which I will describe. I have uploaded some pics so you can see what I’m referring to. As they were taken with my phone in not the greatest light the colors won't be true to the original. The straps appear to be cotton or cotton blend and hardware is brass or least brass colored and is sturdy. Most of the seams are finished so they should stand up to use. Sewing is neat. The snaps are on raised leather strips or you can insert your finger under to close the snaps. Since they aren’t magnetic it is a plus for those concerned about magnets near equipment like drives and cards. The straps on the bottom of the bag are plastic squeeze closures you can open and close so I won’t have to undo any straps like on my old backpack. There are Velcro tabs on the end of the bottom straps that wrap around the strap to keep the ends from hanging and perhaps catching or just being annoying.The front pocket is a plain sewn on pocket with a zipper closure. There are no organizing slots or sewn in pockets. It is about 12x8 inches, of course since the bag is sewn all measurements are approximate and will vary with the sewer/sewing. There is an outer side pocket on each side of the bag but there is no zipper closure, just a snap closure so just be careful if using these pockets not to put anything that could fall out. Inside there is a free hanging inner pocket attached to the back of the bag which is about 8 inches square and zippered. All the zippers are plastic so this should help minimize any scratches to equipment. The small inner pocket zipper has a metal pull the outer zippers have leather pull. The shoulder strap is adjustable and I can wear it cross body which I prefer.The removable inner divider has 2 Velcro dividers you can use or not and arrange in whatever fashion suits your needs. The divider foam is fairly substantial and firm so should protect your camera equipment reasonably well. I put my camera with an 85mm lens attached and another 50mm into the divider and there was no problem with fit. The camera is a Sony mirrorless so would be a bit smaller than a DSLR. The lenses are full frame G Master lenses so they are on the hefty side and fit just fine. There were some little stains on the fabric but as these are inside the front pocket and there was only one small not too obvious one on the front flap I decided it wasn't a big deal. The one change I would make would be to have a top zipper with two pulls that can unzip from the center because then the side you're wearing the bag on doesn't matter as much.Final verdict, a winner for price and features so have to give it 5 stars. Cost was lot less than my other camera bags and though they are better quality and will no doubt outlast this Caden bag I like the way the bag looks and the nice touches such as the raised leather straps, under straps, plastic zippers, etc. and best of all I can pack it in my suitcase.

Update: Found a major downside to this bag. The strap simply will not stay where it is adjusted to. I did a lot of walking with this bag and had to keep readjusting the strap. It simply does not hold position and ends up at it's longest, which is not as comfortable as where I had it. I'm not taking any stars away for this, at this time, but it's a huge consideration on the usability of the bag. Otherwise I stand by my initial review, however wouldn't mind a bit more in the way of organization in the front pocket instead of if being just 1 compartment.Just got this, so haven't really had a good try with it yet. The material seems great, and I love that it's canvas instead of some of the plastic type materials. It easily fits my Canon R5 with 24-105 lens attached plus a couple other lenses, including my 70-200 f/4 EF lens. I will probably take the third lens out and carry a flash instead.I really like that is has a zipper closure in addition to the main flap. The zippers seem to be of low quality all around though, which at this point is my biggest complaint. There is a small internal zipper pocket that should easily fit batteries and memory cards. The outer zipper pocket is of good size and should hold several different items. It would be nice to have some smaller pockets inside that larger one, just to help with organizing things.The side pockets have snap closures only, so won't be used for anything I'm worried about losing easily. They do fit a small water bottle, as noted in the listing, which will be the main use for one of them.The padded compartment is removable, however I will likely not use the bag without it. (The outer bag was actually shipped rolled up inside this compartment, which mad it look smaller than it is.) There are two adjustable dividers, and I may end up replacing them (or supplementing them) with some of the dividers I already have. The padding is not overly thick, but should be sufficient for the purpose.The main strap is adjustable as to be plenty long for me. I'm over 6 feet tall, so it's sometimes hard to find straps long enough to be comfortable. The tripod straps on the bottom were an important feature, and I just need to find a small tripod that meets my satisfaction. I did strap on a tripod (which I'm returning) and it worked great.I don't think I can find a better bag in ths price range with these features, so it looks like a keeper. I hope that it will hold up as I use it.
