Customer Reviews

A perfect holster for my everyday use
I purchased this item (Canon Zoom Pack 1000 Holster) about six years ago for my old Canon Elan 7e film camera. It provided a perfect fit for this full-size camera, with the EF 28-135mm USM IS lens and its lens hood mounted. After I switched over to the Canon digital Rebel XT, the new camera body is a lot smaller, and so is the equivalent EF-S lens. What I found is that with the extra space available, I can actually fit my external flash unit inside the holster. It is a rather tight fit, but the good thing is they won't knock against each others inside.

Here is what I can store inside this holster: Canon Rebel XT, EF-S 17-85mm USM IS lens (with EW-73B lens hood fitted in reverse), Canon 420EX Speedlite, LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer, polarizer filter, video cable, spare battery pack, CF cards, plus a few more small items. When necessary, I can also use it to carry my Rebel XT with the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip mounted. But of course, the flash unit won't fit in this case.

I've been carrying this holster to and back from work almost daily, plus several oversea trips during the past 5-6 years. It is still in excellent condition. To me, the quality of its construction fully justifies its higher price.

Ok for the price
Build quality and design are not great.

The zipper head inside the top cover may leave scratch on the back of the camera - could have been just a velcro. It looks huge from outside for a holster style but not enough useful space inside for Rebel XSi - a lot of 1/2" thick dead space around the camera and lens not very useful for storing accessories. Could have had more storage pockets outside and shrunk the bag a little bit. A buckle-strap might be used to the top cover instead of velcro.

Some of above issues my be solved by putting camera strap first then the camera body and lens. However, the design, color, texture and size all remind me of military equipment not camera - even with a canon logo.

I am returning it and will pick one at a local camera store after carefully evaluating the design inside and out.

Love it!
This is a great bag. It holds my Canon 30D with the 28-135 lens attached. It also holds the spare battery and USB cable. It comes with a removable shoulder strap and a small carrying handle if the strap is removed.

The strange thing is that it also has another strap so that it can be worn around the waist but that strap can not be removed. I may end up cutting it off later since I will never wear this around my waist.
