Tamrac 5501 Explorer 1 User Reviews

Great for smaller loads (2 lenses or less)
“I bought this bag to have something compact to carry my XTI around with. The padding and overall quality is very good. It has enough room for our SLR with lens (i had to put packing peanuts at the bottom though as my lens won’t quite reach the bottom in that orientation), and it has comfortable space for another lens and the accessories (battery pack, memory cards, cleaning pen, instruction booklet, wires). Overall I am satisfied with the bag.” – By Jerryaki

Great, compact gear bag
“I bought this bag for my Olympus Evolt E500 dSLR with dual lenses. It fits the body and two lenses perfectly. I also managed to fit the new wide angle lens I bought as well. Other than that, though, there isn’t much more room in the main compartment. The zippered pocket in front holds lens covers and additional memory cards. No room for the battery charger, but there would be room for an additional battery. Still, the price is right and it holds and protects my equipment.” – By J. Owens

Very nice, well thought through
“5 stars because I can’t think of any complaints. Fits my Olympus E510 perfectly (along with one extra lens and other misc accessories). It’s definitely worth dropping a few bucks if you’re getting an SLR to keep everything together and protected. Good quality and design” – By C. Gray

Tamrac camera bag
“This product is great! Wonderful quality. Though I did return it as I needed a bigger bag….if you have a smaller camera or want an extra bag to take your camera with a smaller lense, this would be perfect. I did purchase another Tamrac bag that was larger. Love the quality of that one too!” – By W. Repke

Great Camera Bag

Great Bag – A Keeper
“this bag has the ability to attach water bottles or lens pouches with the M.A.S accessory system. For me this is great since I look for a small bag that carries alot. With this bag, I can carry my Panasonic G1 DSLR and the pocketable LX3; two water bottles; charger for the LX3; and travel book in the bag. Still have room for things like keys or kleenex etc. So the bag is perfect for travel.” – By Gadget Man

Great starter bag
“This bag is great. It’s sturdy, protects our camera well, has lots of pockets for storage of extras, and is easy to carry and lightweight. It is small, though, which is perfect for us. We just have the camera body and one lens (a Canon Rebel XS with the kit lens – 18-55mm). The camera fits snugly in the bag with the lens attached, and the case would probably fit one more lens and a flash. Right now, we use the extra space in the bag to fit our point-and-shoot, which is pretty handy.” – By Nicki

Perfect for my D3000
“bought this for my D3000 with the stock lens. the cam fit perfectly and the bag has a lot of extra space for another lens or other stuff. it feels pretty solid and that it would protect my camera incase i drop the bag. comfortable to carry, perfect for trips. oh, and the price is really good for what you’ll get.” – By R.
