Home > Consumer Reviews > Nikon DSLR Accessory Bag & DVD Starter Kit for Nikon D40, D40x & D60 Digital SLR Cameras

I passed by Bestbuy earlier the day I bought this to get a feel as to what size the bag really is. The bag is not too big but also not too small. I have a D40x with two lenses, the stock 18-55mm Nikkor as well as a 55-200 Nikkor. I also have a few filters, a small telephoto lens and a wide photo lens and although the bag is not too big, it fits all these easily and snugly! It really depends on what you need and want. It can also fit the cleaning pen along with any extra batteries in it's inside and front pouches. The charger fits in the side pockets ( if you take the cord and put it in the other pocket). I like this bag as it really fits my needs. It is well made and the yellow stripe and the Nikon emblem add a nice touch. Now be aware that if u really want to fit any thing other in this bag than what I described above it might be difficult. I know some would like to fit their camcorder too and this would not be a bag for them. So I give this bag 5/5 because it really fits my needs. My advice is this, if u are not sure about the size and how it looks, drop by the near Bestbuy and check it out, They have it as a part of a kit (including the same DVD and an extra battery) and retails for 99$. As for the DVD it is a good starter DVD for people who never used an SLR before but for me it was just too basic so I gave it to my friend.

I first saw it the store and I really liked it and not just because of the beautiful yellow lining and nikon logo. This case seats the nikon D90 very well. Much better than the Olympus case that came as an extra with the camera. What a perfect complement to the camera. Of course, some people might complaint about the size but that is a trade off one can't win. When I travel I like to travel light and having a backpack on my back during a vacation is not the greatest thing in the world. The D90 fits snugly in place with the kit lense or the stock lense 18-55mm plus hood. Also you can put a wide lense in and perhaps fit in the telephoto lense too. The outside front pocket I put the extra battery, memory, tripod quick release, cleaning brush, and remote. You also have the side pockets but they only secure with velcro. The inside top portion has a net you can put extra stuff. Just to think I payed half of the store price is more than worth it. This is going to be my travel bag for some time. The D90 has the same dimensions as the D80 but the D60 is slightly smaller but they all fit. PS There is a free DVD included which will show you the basic of shooting by a professional photographer and includes tips. There is a follow up to the DVD which shows you deeper into the camera functions.I really wish I could see that.

I bought this bag for my Nikon D60 with a 18->55 mm and a 55->200 mm lens. It is a tight fit for the camera with the 18->55 mm lens attached and the other lens in the bag. The bag is just barely doable. The D60 owner's manual will not fit in the bag. There is room for additional items such as memory and batteries, but the battery recharger and USB cord must be left behind.
I have not viewed the video yet.

I read reviews about this camera bag before I purchased it. It was mixed. Personally, I love the bag. Let's describe it as, compact. I really do not want to carry a huge bag just to shoot photos. I prefer to pack light. So, this was just right, two lenses, camera, manual(when needed) and minimal accessories. The training CD was basic, but instructional. I found walking through various menus helpful. It might have been nice if Nikon included this CD with every camera purchase. I am pleased and happy with this camera bag.

If you want to know whether all your gear shall fit, just visit your local Best Buy and thoroughly scrutinize the product before purchasing it, as recommended by other reviewers. That way, when ordering, you shall know exactly what you are ordering. This bag fits my Nikon D60 with the 18-55 generic lens, charger, usb cord, and it has space for one lens and a flash, or two lenses, but not more. This bag is designed for a beginner (or even professional) who probably needs one to 3 lenses, or 2 lenses and a flash. It is ideal for plane travel, as all your regular gear fits. If you are a professional who carries 3 or more lenses, long telephoto lenses, point and shoot cameras and camcorders, this bag is not for you. There are larger bags for more gear, back-packs for travellers, and even travelling cases for those who need to carry multiple cameras, tripods, etc. Its adjustable velcro attachments also give you more leeway to squeeze an accessory or two. The cover flap has a yellow ring that matches the yellow on your camera strap. It seems sturdy. It is a nice bag overall, I would recommend it. As for the DVD, it is a 35 minute eye-opener geared towards the beginner and average user, or someone who has never handled a digital SLR before. I guess, since you have already bought the bag, might as well spare some 35 minutes to watch the video, and you may skip chapters if you wish. The video is very informative, and even professionals should take a peek. It is basic, but useful in a way. Free shipping didn't hurt either!
