Tamrac 5694 Digital 4 - Digital/Photo Bag (Black) Electronics

Average Rating:

1) First, slung over-my-shoulder or across-my-chest.
2) Second, on-my-hip looped through my belt.
3) And lastly, attached (like an accessory lens) to my full-size Tamrac SLR camera holster.

This versatility is made possible since the Tamrac 5694 has both 1) a removeable shoulder strap and 2) a Velcro-and-snap-fastened belt loop. The latter works especially well with Tamrac's MAC (modular accessory components) system, which allows for the infinite mixing-and-matching of camera and lens cases (of all sizes).

The Tamrac 5694 is a bit smaller than my normal digital camera case, Tamrac's slightly larger 5696. With the 5696, I can leave the zoom lens extended inside of the case. With the 5694, since its smaller, I need to retract the lens (turn the camera off) each time before storing.

For additional stuff, the Tamrac 5694 also has a convenient front pocket large enough to hold extra memory cards and fresh batteries.

The nicest thing about this Tamrac 5694 Digital Camera Case, though, (besides the versatility listed above) is its fairly small visual profile. I like how others may think I'm carrying an inexpensive point-and-shoot 35 mm camera -- rather than a more expensive digital model.

I sometimes tote my digital camera by itself -- or in combination with my other 35 mm SLR or autofocus cameras.

With the Tamrac 5694, I can now do both -- very easily. I love it!

If you want a bag for a smaller camera, this is great. The clips on the strap are solid metal, and the inside compartment is useful in that it has places for batteries and memory cards. If you get anything bigger than a traditional point-and-shoot, though, you should look a little harder for a better suited bag.
