Nikon SLR System Bag For D3000, D5000

Product Description
Protect your Nikon Coolpix camera with the CF-EU04 case. You can take your camera everywhere with you thanks to this case, and protect it from bumps and scratches.
Got this to go with my new D5000. This bag will hold everything that came in the kit, plus another lens. Or if you don’t want to carry the charger about and just a spare battery, you’ll easy fit 2 zoom lenses in it plus the kit lens attached the camera.
In the inside of the closing flap it has a zipped mesh pocket. The front of the bag has 2 zipped compartments which don’t really offer much space but are great for cables. The main bag has 2 movable ‘walls’ to separate the camera from other lenses or whatever you’re carrying. There is also a pouch at the back which can hold the manual or book of similar size. Also has 2 rubber feet on the base. I wouldn’t entirely trust this to protect your camera from a fall of 4 or more feet as it’s not got masses of padding, but it’ll protect it in normal usage.
Only thing I can think of that is missing is a dedicated SD card holder, which could have quite easily been incorporated.

I ordered this with my d3000, and it fits fantastic, the lens, camera and charger fit, there’s even a pocket inside and two outside to hold your lenses, charger etc. Fantastic product!

I should start off by saying that I got this item free when buying a Nikon DSLR, I doubt I’d have paid full price for it.
The bag has a main compartment with two moveable dividers that fix in place using Velcro. This is enough room for a camera body and two lenses. The dividers can be removed to make one large space. In addition it has three full length external pockets – two small zipped pouches at the front and a full height open pouch at the rear. It also has a full length internal zipped pocket in the top flap. The unit is finished off with two rubber strips on the bottom that act as feet and a detachable, adjustable, strap with a shoulder relief pad.
The bag is padded, but not deeply, and I’ve no doubt it’s water resistant.
The Nikon logo on the front of the lid is in black on a black bag. Certainly discreet.
I’ve had no problems with this item, it does what it’s meant to do, but functionally it’s nothing out of the ordinary and it looks plain in black with a blue-grey trim. I’m sure you could buy something as good cheaper.

The bag I received measured something like 24 x 25 x 11 cm and so is of no use as a digital SLR bag as far as I am concerned, It might be OK for the new Olympus or a compact but not for the normal kit a photographer carries round on a shoot. Very disappointing as details said it was 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm. I have submitted a revision to the details so hopefully no one else will get caught out.

This is a good sized bag – big enough to take my Nikon D60 + 18-105VR and 55-200VR lenses; with enough pockets for spare battery, spare SD card, lens cloth and a couple of filters. I’m not sure how easily a flash would fit in as well though – but unfortunately I don’t have an external flash to try.
I’m not quite sure why everybody is giving this bag quite such glowing reviews. The zips on the pockets jingle while you walk. When you tighten the bottom strap for the clip you are left with an annoying dangling strap. There is no zip securing the main part of the bag, so the front clip is the only “security”. Also no internal zip means it’s going to be less water-resistant than it could be in really bad weather.
Don’t get me wrong – it does do the job – it’s light, strong and reasonably water resistant, and it looks good – but it’s not perfect.
