I've had this bag years and it's been well used, but looked after.
Mine is in navy blue.
It's well padded and has two adjustable velcro supports to hold the camera in place.
There's a small pocket inside the top of the flap which I used for the lens cap and cloth.
There's also one pocket on the outside which I used for spare batteries, film, memory cards, keys, and so on.
To give you an idea of size, this is the kit I've used:
Canon eos 50e and 28-80
Canon eos 50e and 28-300
Pentax K10 and 18-55
The largest combination I used is the K10 and Sigma 17-70.
The Sigma is large, especially with the hood, so it was a bit of a squeeze to get it past the adjustable camera supports, but it went. Bit tight though.
A good camera bag for a day trip out when no other kit is needed.
I also took off the strap and put it in my Karrimor backpack along with drink, snacks, and jacket and towel when mountain biking, to give my camera a bit of protection.

| Pros: | Compact, comfortable, small size | | Cons: | None | |
I bought this on sale to carry my K100D and Tamron 18-250 on a world cruise. All I can say is, perfect for travelling. Somewhat inconspicuous, roomy enough for extra batteries and sdhc cards, wipes etc. Even a tiny tripod tucks away in the inside.
There are loops under the 2 adjustable side supports. These can easily hold 4 AA batteries if you first put an elastic around them.
The strap is of a decent length for tall people (6'1").
Looking for another one now for my new K-5 :-)

| Pros: | Compact side, Ease of access, Roomy | | Cons: | Small (1 lens) | |
The Toploader TLZ1 is the perfect bag for a dSLR and a lens. The lens can be up to a medium-size zoom. For example, a K-7 + the DA18-250mm with its hood in position (extended) fit just in. The bag is well padded. There is an outside pocket that fits the battergy charge and a couple of cable. An inside pocket can hold a card and a cloth.
The bag is very compact. It is very easy to extract quickly the camera when needed. The bag is surprisingly large inside despite its compact size.
I can recommend it strongly for anyone using 1 camera + 1 body, in need for a compact bag from which the camera can be extracted rapidly.
