I carry my camera usually on the bag that it came with but I needed more space to carry the extra battery and another lens. I got this bag and when it arrived it came in dirty from the bottom but no big deal since it is going to get dirty on the bottom anyway. The bag has a great look and it is comfortable to carry around the shoulder since the strap is large and wide. The front pocket has a magnet and it closes by itself. And the camera and other things stay secure since it closes with its zipper. It looks awesome and it is built well.

Buy this bag now

Going to start off by saying, buy this bag now before they run out of inventory.
I recently bought my 1st DSLR. A Canon SL2. This bag has plenty of room for the body and 15-55mm lens attached to it, plus the 55-250mm standing up in it's own compartment. Although you could have the 55-250 attached as well with room for 1 more lense. There are 2 removable velcro dividers that have 1/2" padding. (in my pics 1 of the dividers is parallel to the liner because I don't need it yet) Then there is a 1/2 padded removable liner that surrounds the entire circumference of the inside of the main compartment. I'd venture to say I have room for one more lens. Possibly the 10-18mm wide or a fixed length such as the 50mm or smaller. Seriously, I was worried this bag might be small because other reviewers said Camera plus one lens. Trust me, this bag is ample. I wouldn't call it a professional bag but it's definitely high-end amateur.
Since there is plenty of room in the main compartment. The pouch and zippered front are not squeezed out, so easy fit for car keys, phone, chargers, etc...
The shoulder strap expands farther than nessecary which is not a negative, although the shoulder pad is a little stiff. Maybe with time that will break in. The canvas structure seems to be at the least weather resistant if you get caught off guard, but I'm not going to endorse it as weatherproof and something to take into severe conditions.
For $20....YOU. CANT. GO. WRONG.

I was looking for a bag that wasn't as bulky as the one that came with my DSLR, but would still hold a couple of lenses, batteries and memory cards. This bag has room for everything I need, and is much more compact than the bag I was using. It's also pretty stylish. The only con is that the bag doesn't have a handle on the top, so you're forced to always carry it on your shoulder.

I wanted a smaller bag for our mirrorless camera. This bag holds camera with lens plus extra lens, charger, sd cards, etc. And it's much smaller than the backpack style he has. So if he doesn't need to take along laptop, this is perfect. Bought it on sale which was even sweeter.

Love this camera bag so much ! I had previously been using a standard basic Sony bag for my Sony a6000 camera... but it just didn’t feel sturdy enough when I’d unzip it with camera inside... I always feared my camera would plop right out as the compartment was super shallow, and the form factor was lost once unzipped. This platinum metropolitan messenger bag solved that issue and much more ! It has a deep well protected compartment for your camera to stay safe in... it is sturdy and very well manufactured... the back pocket has a magnetic enclosure which is an awesome feature and really lends to the quality of the product as well as it’s convenience and accessibility factors. It is super spacious yet not oversized at the cost of comfort in carrying. And an added bonus I didn’t even know about until after purchasing is that it is equipped to also safely store a tablet etc !!! You also have the luxury of storing additional add-on camera components, extra batteries etc, and a separate front/back pocket for things like money, phone, or even a wallet and keys ! I highly recommended this product. Good-looking, crafted with high quality durable materials, superb functionality, and comfortably portable...at a nice price point to boot. A great value!!!!!

The camera bag is a great size to carry both the camera and extra lens. It all fits well and the bag is not to small and not to large. And we got it on sale so that was a big bonus. But even not on sale it was worth the coast and works well.

This bag is great if you have simple camera gear like I do. I just have my camera and a few little assessories. The extra pocketes are great for carrying things you need from your purse so that you can just carry one bag.

I love this camera case. It’s big enough for my Canon 80D with its 18-125mm lens. Also, I can put another medium zoom lens in as well. It’s well built. Keeps camera/lens protected very well.

Purchasing a new bag for daughter to take to college. Wanted enough room to carry extra lenses as well as protect everything inside. Extra compartments are "icing on the cake". Highly recommend!

I got a great price of this bag and it’s very comfortable. Space is enough for a mirrorless Fujifilm and a lens. A few necessary accessories can be fit into the side pockets.

I liked the bag as it was small enough to carry easily and big enough to hold my came with lens attached and a second lens. The one thing the bag could use is a handle on the top. It has the strap but sometimes a handle would be good. Good over all bag.

If you are looking for a small camera bag that looks professional and doesn't need to carry a lot of gear this one is a great choice. It's built well and will fit a full frame DSLR and 1 lens small to medium length lens with ease.
