    Nice bag but...

    This is a great camera bag! The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because it's not what I was expecting. The description and the features for this bag and the larger version of this bag (DNA 11) are exactly the same. They both state most laptops will fit in the bag. I was looking for a bag I could also put my tablet in when out on shoots and I figured if it said most laptops fit, my tablet would, too. That's not the case, however. The description was wrong. The only thing that would fit in the padded "laptop" section of this bag would be an iPad mini or another 7" tablet. I am keeping the bag though! I do like it, even though it wasn't what I was expecting. Two mirrorless camera bodies, three lenses, an extra battery and charger fit in the bag all together!

    Best small bag for mirrorless camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have a Sony a6500 mirrorless camera paired with a Sony 18-105 mm lens. The lens is not telescopic so it takes up quite a bit of space. But it’s my go-to lens for pretty much everything. This bag is small enough to take anywhere while comfortably housing my camera, the 18-105 mm lens, an additional 16-50 mm lens, two additional batteries, one charger, cleaning supplies, small external flash, and a portable tripod on the back along with the bag’s weather cover. It’s durable, lightweight, and has great locks that aren’t easy to open and have quiet Velcro as a secondary means of securing the flap. There is a quick access zipper for the camera compartment. I’ve gone through quite a few camera bags before finding this one. A friend recommended it to me and I couldn’t be happier. It has already survived it’s first nature shoot in the rain. I accidentally set the bag in some mud and it easily wiped off. The messenger-style makes it easy to carry. I don’t use a strap with my camera, I just put it back in my bag when I’m not using it. The strap is comfortable and I barely notice the bag while I’m wearing it. The bag is expensive but well worth it considering I won’t have to buy another one and the material is built to last for years on end.

    Great day trip camera bag

    This is a great smaller camera bag for day trips. Worked great running around the city and hiking. It's lightweight and comfortable. Fits camera and two lens, with smaller lens attached to camera and longer lens separate. It's not deep enough to have a larger lens attached to camera.

    Can't recommend this bag enough

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for a bag to hold my Sony a6500 camera with enough space to (eventually) house three lenses, an additional battery, a charger, external flash, lens cleaning tools, and memory cards. I would have really liked it if there was enough space for my action tripod (it's a small table-top sized tripod with rubber gripped legs so I can wrap them around objects) but that wasn't going to make or break it. I had tried different bags until someone showed me the ones made by Temba. I picked this one up and still have it almost a year later. The messenger bag is compact but has more than enough internal space for my mirrorless camera, three lenses, extra battery, charger, lens cleaning materials, external flash, extra memory cards, and I cam able to wrap my tripod around the top handle. I like that the bag is water resistant and the top flap is setup so that it stops anything from entering the bag (even from the sides). There are magnetic latches (they lock in place but magnets guide you when you close them) and Velcro that hold the top flap down. The Velcro is loud but, if you pull the flap down while opening, it is extremely quiet. So far I have taken my bag on a cruise, to a couple of beaches, and to some outdoor events. I've spilled coffee on it, set it in the sand, it has been splashed with ocean water, rained on, set in the snow, and used around three dogs. It still looks just as pristine as the day I purchased it while protecting all of my equipment. The price is high but it's worth it for this bag. I have never had a small messenger bag, something that I could easily sling around my shoulder and take anywhere, hold so much while still being protective and rugged enough to survive what its been through. Normally by now I'm on my second bag because the first one was stained, torn, or I couldn't get the pet hair off of it. Not this case, it doesn't even attract pet hair or dirt and any that accumulates on it wipes off with just my hand. I really can't recommend this bag enough. It won't be large enough for people with DSLR cameras and three lenses (maybe a small DSLR and two total lenses) but it is enough for compact mirrorless cameras and their equipment.

    Love this bag. Perfect size for my Sony camcorder. I really wanted to get the Sony camera bag, but Sony makes good electronics, but only so-so bags. This bag is very versatile. If you’ve seen it in the store you’ll know that there is a quick access zipper on the top so you can get your camera in and out quick. I do a lot of outdoor shots, wildlife like bears, and being able to get my camera quick without making a lot of noise helps me get great photos and video. I’m sure this will work out great for graduation season just around the corner too.

    Very nice, very fiunctional. Love the zippered top and magnetic strap closures. Closes and open super easy using the super cool strap and clasp. Holds my Sony a6000 with 1 of my three lenses on it, and the other 2 lenses on either side (55-210mm lense, prime portrait lense, and 14-50mm lense). I really like that is comes with rain cover, i keep it in one of the side outside pockets, i also keep my lens cleaning pen, sd card case, charger, and spare battery in the front zip pockets and other side pockets.

    Almost perfect

    I really enjoy this bag, it has a great look and is made really well. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is that the pockets on the outside are somewhat useless for carrying anything. I wouldn't recommend using this bag for anything bigger than a small/medium sized mirrorless camera and one extra lens and some accessories or possibly two extra lenses and no accessories. Overall this is a keeper, I love the strap and the zipper on top that gives you access to the camera without opening the flap is a great feature.

    I use it for light travel with my Fuji X-t20 with 18-55 zoom. Well-made and a great fit for the camera/lens combo + small accessories. Top zipper for quick access is wonderful. I also own a DNA 13 for my x-t2 with grip, batteries/charger and 3 lenses.

    After researching several top camera bag brands, I decided to go for this bag due to its practicality (top access, easy opening), size and design. Great for smaller mirrorless camera and very light. While it's not the most "sophisticated" camera bag design out there, it certainly does the trick and its price can't be beat for the quality.

    Great Gear Bag For Your Portables

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really like this gear bag a lot. I've been looking / shopping for a [long] while, for a versatile gear bag. One of the 1st things I noticed about this bag is the zipper on top - how does this work? where does this go? I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is a quick access to my gear without opening the bag itself. Much easier to get access to what I need without opening all my gear to the world. Placement of pockets is a plus. The internal side pockets hold cables, charges, batteries, etc. whatever you need. If you looking for a gear bag for your electronics (camera, camcorder, GoPro, drone (doesn't hold a drone, but the gear for your drone), etc.) this bag is worth looking at. Another bonus is style. This bag does not look like all the rest. It works efficiently without all the fuss of other bags, and looks as well as it performs. I do a lot of outdoor photography - cameras and camcorders - and having quick access to my cameras when wildlife is about is a necessity - without announcing that I'm "here" is what I have been looking for in a gear bag. This bag allows me to do just that, and still get great memorable shots. I'm really happy that Best Buy had a solution for my needs.

    Awesome Bag for mirrorless Cameras!

    This bag is great for mirrorless users. A lot of space in a compact package and has a great look. I can easily fit a camera with 4 lenses, multiple batteries, memory cards and accessories and it doesn't feel cramped at all. I especially love the easy access zipper on top so that you don't have to open the entire flap to access the bags contents. Highly recommended!

    This is a great bag as long as you have a small camera. The quality of the bag is amazing. I wouldn't recommend this bag for anything more than a small to mid size mirror-less camera and one or two lenses. The latch system is great and the easy access zipper across the top makes it nice when you need to access your camera in a hurry...

    Really nice I was looking for a small bag for my Fuji X100F, this bag is perfect room for the camera, telephoto convention lens, flash, memory cards, filters and cleaning supplies. Would have preferred grey but the blue was on clearance save over $30.00, well worth living with the color

    This is a smaller version of a bag I already own for a Canon AX30 video camera that I'm using for a Canon M50. The M50 being a mirror less camera is much smaller than the video camera so I needed a smaller bag. When deciding which bag to choose I found this smaller version had all the features of the bigger bag that were the reason I selected this style to start with.

    This bag is big enough to fit my Sony A6000 with two lenses yet small enough that I am not carrying a big bag around. I would have given 5 stars but the inserts were hard to arrange the way I wanted. But I still love the bag. It is easy to open and close and has a waterproof bag I can put over it when it rains.
