 Storage with a Flair May 7, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've used a great many camera and camcorder bags and I'm very pleased to say that after living with this bag for several weeks it's everything that I hoped for. I recently upgraded from a standard def camcorder to Canon's HV30 hi-def offering. After spending some time looking for a new camcorder bag I decided to try the Canon SC2000. The SC2000 carrying case works very well for me as I tote around among other things a Canon VL-10 spare light, spare DV tapes, multiple Li-ion batteries, a charger, assorted interconnecting cables, filters and various other shooting aides.
The bag's interior compartment is well padded and contains an adjustable velcro center divider, a zippered storage pocket and a Velcro tabbed side pocket suitable for lenses and cleaning materials. The three zippered external pockets are very roomy and easily accessible. There's also a hidden storage area located on the bottom of the bag that I find ideal for storing my shotgun mic and other less used items.
I like the zippered pullback style top flap and find that the bag, while not overly large, contains plenty of storage space for items that I need on remote shoots. The provided shoulder strap is comfortable and easily adjustable. All in all a very well constructed bag that more than satisfies my needs.
 Not very custom. April 25, 2008

I was very disappointed in the case. I do not see anything custom about as to fitting my video camera, which it allegedly is made for. The camera fits ok but most small video cameras would also fit in it. It's cloth with a little padding and a bottom insert which lifts out. You have to take everything out of the case to get anything out of the bottom. I assume the bottom storage is for cables. I could have done better with a generic case which this is in my opinion.

Great Camera Bag with Room for Everything January 28, 2008

I purchased this camera bag to go along with the Canon HG10 camcorder. The bag is very nice in that it has multiple internal compartments and pockets, as well as external zipper compartments on every side of the bag. Also, it has a false bottom inside the bag which serves as a cushion in case the bag is dropped, but it can also double as additional storage space.
Initially, I too noticed that the bag is much bigger than necessary for carrying such a small camcorder as the HG10. However, when it arrives brand new, there are rectangular foam pieces in each zipper compartment to prevent it from losing it's shape. I simply took one of these foam pieces and trimmed it to fill the extra empty space around the camera in the main compartment. Now the camera fits in nice and snug with additional foam cushioning surrounding it.
With all of the space, pockets, and compartments, I am able to fit the camera and every possible accessory into this bag. Currently I am carrying the camera, the power cable and AC adapter, 2 spare batteries, a mini-tripod, the USB cable, the standard A/V cable, the HD component cable, the remote control, and the product manuals, and there is still a lot of empty space and empty pockets. Luckily, the HG10 does not require media since it is hard-disk based, but there would be ample room to carry mini-dv's, DVD's, or any other blank media if the camera required it.
All in all I think it is a great bag and it fulfills all of my camera and accessory carrying needs.
Great Case, Great Space December 28, 2007

I bought this case to carry my Canon HV20, and reading other reviews I knew it was big, still more than I would expect. I can fit at least 3 Canon HV20 with all their accessories and some miniDVs. The quality is amazing, and since it's so big, I carry the camcorder, a DSLR like camera and a point and shoot camera with all their chargers cables and some miniDVs. Not forgetting that I still have more space if I remove the manuals on the second bottom.
So, if you want it just a small carrying case for a compact camcorder, it's not for you.
If you are like me, and love to carry everything even when you don't need it, this it a great purchase. Great materials, protects perfectly your camera, and lots of pockets and spaces to fit stuff. All the spaces are flexible, so you can fit different stuff without having them scratching each other.
