Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 10EGCustomer Review: The Perfect Bag for a Rebel-Based Camera System Summary: 5 Stars
Other reviewers have been nearly consistent here in praising the quality of the Canon 10EG. Many, however, have expressed disappointment with its size saying that it holds far less than Canon's blurb suggest. (2 bodies and up to 8 lenses).
Having worked as a pro for almost forty years, and having amassed a large collection of bags by most of the major makers, I can attest to the first point and possibly provide some context for the second.
This bag WILL hold 2 Rebel-sized bodies and up to eight lenses, but only when arranged for storage, not quick access. This is how:
Put one body over another with their body caps on without lenses attached or battery grips. One of the padded dividers is designed to go between the bodies and protect them. The eight lenses have to be either very small zooms or smaller single- focal length lenses and they too would have to be stacked one over another with caps on both ends, sans hoods.
I used a similar set-up for years with a Nikon f3 system when I was traveling. It is slow and cumbersome, but doable and for some shoots very usable.
But that said this is NOT what the 10EG is really designed to do best. Its real purpose is to provide excellent protection and quick access for a smaller system. The key to making it ideal for our individual set-up is to think 'out of the box' when putting in the dividers.
My own Rebel T2i system will in the end consist of four lenses. (I presently own three of these) Since I use the Rebel for quick grab-it-when-you-can shooting I placed the body - grip and 18-55 zoom attached - centered in the bag with the back of the camera rearward so it rest against my hip. My 55-250 lens sits in one upper corner, my 60 2.8 Macro in the other. Both are held in place by a single affixed divider curved around the lens. Smaller dividers create two more protected zones left and right of the camera body. One of these will hold the 10-22 zoom when I get it, the other (possibly) a small flash.
I have posted a pic of the configuration in the picture section.
Some have commented about the waist belt expressing the POV that it is largely useless and a waste of space. I disagree. It is to me beautifully designed to serve two important functions.
1) It keeps the bag firmly fixed against the body under all circumstances. This allows for quicker (and safer) access and return when one needs to grab the camera or change a lens quickly in less than ideal circumstances.
2) It will help prevent the most common type of theft the 'tourist' typically is threatened by - especially in some southern European and Central American locations: The quick 'cut the shoulder strap and snatch' maneuver so favored by crafty youth whose lively hood (such as it is) is based on victimizing unsuspecting tourists.
I could not rate this bag more highly. And its price here on Amazon is half or a third of what I would have expected for a bag this well designed a well constucted. Wonderful!
