Reviews for Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Perfect bag for Canon SLR

Strengths: Good quality, large space

I bought this camera bag for my Canon XTi digital SLR. The inner space is about 10 by 6 by 6 inches. There is enough room to put inside the XTi body with a EF 28-135 mm IS USM zoom lens attached, a EF 50 mm lens, along with a compact digital camera or even a camcorder. Three dividers can be used to create different partitions. There are two side pockets and one front pocket, providing enough room for other accessories, such as battery charger, memory cards, and other things. The bag is made of good quality nylon and is comfortable to carry on during a long trip.

Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Strengths: Very spacious, adjustable compartments, non-slip rubber foot, simple design...

Weakness: Too big for everyday use, tripod loops are almost useless, compartment adjustment is somewhat limited...

Currently I am using NIKON coolpix5700. It is true that this bag is somewhat big for a mid-sized compact camera such as mine or MINOLTA A200. But I am quite satisfied with this bag except its thickness of around 8". Due to its "box-like" shape and space, it is so easy to put my camera into this bag and to take it out. Also, I can put all the stuffs such as filters, batteries, speedlight, charger in a neat way due to its adjustable compartments with five soft dividers.

I have a plan to buy a new SLR camera in the near future, and I think that I can put my coolpix5700 and a new SLR together in this one bag. If you are looking for a bag to put in your compact camera and SLR camera together, this bag might be a good choice.

FYI, the tripod loops at the bottom are almost useless if its weight is over 2.5lbs, because it is hard to fasten it tightly. And it might be necessary to have a compact bag for everyday use. As for me, I have a LOWEPRO TLZ1 bag also.

Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Strengths: Great, strong bag. Enought room to hold 2 SLR bodies and a couple lenses. Large pocket in the front and on the sides.

Weakness: Can be a little too large if you just want something small to hold your camera.

I wanted something to carry my new Digital Rebel in and I also knew that I wanted enough room to carry maybe a lens or two. When I received the Gadget Bag in the mail I was thinking that it was too big for what I wanted. When I thought about it a little more I realized that I was going to need the extra space if I was going to add a flash, light meter and a couple lenses. It works fine with the bag and I am really happy with it.

Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Strengths: High quality, adjustable interior, waterproof

Weakness: Won't fit larger lenses.

Very nice gadget bag. Great size for carrying SLR body and multiple lenses. My main problem with the bag was that the height was inadequate to comfortably fit my 7 inch long zoom lens in the vertical position even though the interior dimensions are listed at 7". Because of this lens, I should have gone to the next larger bag.

A decent camera bag

Strengths: light, spacious, durable, waterproof, very useful accessory bags...

Weakness: Cheap material, compartment adjustment is somewhat limited

I bought this bag from amazon.com because I just purchased a telephoto lens (Canon EF 70-300 IS) for my Canon digital rebel XT. The bags fits very well with the camera body along with three lens and has extra space for my Sony Camcorder and my future flash. The accessory bags can hold all other items, such as battery charger, lens back covers, extra compactflash, video tapes...
One drawback is that it's not so easy to adjust the arrangement of the compartments, when I combine lens of different size along with the camera. It's kind of time-consuming either adjusting compartments or disintegrating lens with camera from time to time.
Generally, the bag is deserved for its price and a competitive option for a prosumer photographer (not for a professional with 2-3 bodies and a bunch of lens). I'm currently very satisfied with it and fully recommend this bag.

Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Strengths: The camera bag is very durable and waterproof. There are compartments inside the bag (that are adjustable) so everything fits snugly and securely with plenty of room for my digital camera and lenses.

Weakness: The bag is pretty big. If you want something compact and small this is not the bag for you. However, this can also be considered a strength.

I am very happy with this bag. It was found at a great price. It easily holds every accessory I ever need. It's going to protect my camera and lenses for MANY years. It's a great investment!

Inexpensive and spacious bag

Strengths: It can hold my SLR with lens and flash attached. Tripod loops, padded side pockets.

Weakness: Canon logo and shape make it obvious it is a camera bag.

I was looking for a camera bag that could hold my SLR with lens and flash attached, so I would not have to miss a flash picture opportunity while waiting to take out the flash from a separate part of bag and mounting it on the camera body. The Canon GB4200 bag was big enough to do it. I even had room for an extra lens. It was also inexpensive compared to Tamrac bags of similar size.

The tripod loops do work as long as you tighten the straps VERY tight. The downside is that it putting the tripod on and taking it off the bag is not a quick maneuver.

The main disadvantage for me was the Canon logo and the shape of the bag. It doesn't look like a messenger bag, it doesn't look like a random everyday bag... it looks like a camera bag. Makes me want to just carry my camera around my neck, except the bag has really nice, high quality padding. Functionality wise, getting this bag is a smart move. Make sure you don't mind the appearance of the bag.

Canon GB2400 Camera Gadget Bag

Strengths: size

I have had previous canon camera bags for 35mm slrs and i liked those so when i was looking for a new bag for my new camera i went with canon. I am able to fit my camera body and 3 lenses along with some filters with space to spare for when i can buy some more lenses to fill the space up.

Great gadget bag for SLR beginners

Strengths: Sturdy and functional. Light-weight. Organizable inside dividers

Weakness: Not so spacious. No good for experts

I have a Canon XT DSLR with three lenses (18-55, 50, and 70-300), a flash (Sigma 500), and a tripod. All are fit with this sturdy gadget bag. This bag has 5 padded dividers which are completely organizable. I can carry all my gadgets with this one bag. It has a couple of short strips on the bottom for tripod. All outer pockets are padded, which are good for carrying extra stuff such as filter, lens hood, memory card, battery, and charger. Great for beginners like me. However, if you're an expert whose gears include multiple fat and long lenses, you'd better throw in some more money for a bigger bag. Actually, this bag barely fits with my XT with sigma 70-300 installed. Its height is not even high enough for the lens alone if it is put vertically. This is my first gadget bag and I'm pretty much satisfied. But I'll definitely invest more for a bigger bag if I will have 30D and some "L" lenses.

Nice Bag

Strengths: Good storage, nice design, not too big/small - just right for 1 SLR camera with lens and gear.

Weakness: Can't think of any! May update later.

This is a must-have for SLR camera holders. It has good storage for main camera and accompanying gear. Currently, I have a Canon digital rebel XT with 28-105mm lens attached and a flashlight - 430EX in the main compartment. I am also storing a few filters, battery charger, remote (RC-1), camera/flash manuals, lens cleaning material in various side pockets.

All in all a very good bag and I highly recommend it to amateur-semi advanced SLR enthusiasts.

Excellent Camera Bag

Strengths: This Canon Bag is excellent and have more room to fit camera and two lenses plus batteries, The material is pretty durable and water resistant to protect our valuables, Its worth for the price.

Weakness: Tough to fit if we have bigger photo zoom lens with flashes and additional accesories. Look of the bag is OK, not a great looking.

I would definitely suugest this canon Gadget bag for those who have camera with small zoom lenses, you can carry two lenses and a camera body for sure and it is a good value for our money, Thanks to Canon for delivering wonderful product.
