Dual-Foam Technology
First instituted in our professional lens cases many years ago, Dual-Foam Technology is used in many of our bags today. It combines closed-cell foam to provide maximum shock protection with open-cell foam for vibration dampening and a custom fit.
Memory and Battery Management System
Many of our camera bags feature the patented Memory and Battery Management System, which provides quick access to memory cards, batteries, and accessories. This unique system uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.
Total Coverage Tops
Many Tamrac bags offer triple protection against rain, dust, and sand. Our Total Coverage Tops offer triple protection against the elements by providing three levels of security: hook and loop closures for quick access, EasySqueeze quick-release buckles for security and a zipper closure for the ultimate weather protection.
Strap Accessory System (S.A.S.)
Tamrac's Strap Accessory System has components that attach to the shoulder straps of most of our camera bags and backpacks to allow photographers to personalize and customize their carrying systems.
Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.)
This system allows photographers to customize and personalize their backpacks, shoulder bags, and cases by using accessories that quickly attach to the many Tamrac products that feature the M.A.S. attachment slots. These accessories will also attach to any belt or to Tamrac's Modular Accessory Belt.

Customer Reviews
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!
Adequate but a little small
I found the bag to be barely large enough for my Canon XTI with the 18-55 MM lens and Canon 70-300.
You cannot put the camera in this bag if you have the zoom lens on the camera body.
It's PK for the price but hindsite being what it is, I would opt for a lrger bag.
Great little bag, good protection
A tad smaller then what I needed for my D40 Nikon SLR and 2 lenses, but it all fit fine. Very durable and easy to carry around with good protection.
