Customer Reviews
Acceptable...but not the best
I could not decide between this product (the "Message Bag") and the Canon 2400 SLR Gadget Bag (the "Gadget Bag"), so I bought them both. Price was not a controlling factor since each is about $35.00. Upon arrival, I found that both bags were well constructed, well padded, and each included lots of moveable dividers for configuring the inside. Of the two, the Message Bag is, perhaps, better looking due to its slim design and NavyBlue accent. However, after using both, I much prefer the Gadget Bag due to its superior design and utility. For example, both bags have a flip-up cover held down by two front clips. With the Gadget Bag, opening the flip-up cover reveals the bag's interior. With the Message Bag, opening the flip-up cover reveals a zipper which must then be opened to reach the bag's interior. Over time I found this seemingly minor inconvenience to be cumbersome and annoying.
I have a Canon EOS Rebel T1i with two lenses and several filters. I keep one lens attached to the camera body and have the other in a lens case. The wider/shallower Gadget bag accomodates this setup better than the Message Bag. The taller/slimmer design of the Message Bag makes a tighter fit for the equipment and the top does not fully open (due to the zipper) so it is more difficult to get equipment in and out of the bag. Also, the Gadget Bag has a better design for dealing with accessories. I especially like the side bags which are great for filters, cleaning kits, charger, etc.
I kept the Gadget Bag and gave the Message Bag to my son-in-law (who has equipment similar to mine). After a short time, he gave up on the Message Bag and bought a Gadget Bag which he much prefers.
I'm not saying that the Message Bag is not a good product -- it is serviceable and attractive. I am saying that there are other options which, in my opinion, work better.
