Yes and No
(4 out of 5) by Gabrielle Bowie on Aug 19, 2007 (England)Battery seems fine, dvd-r ok, case is the usual Canon high quality - well made and padded etc. But why so big?? Front pocket on the outside, and inside it's divided in two by a velcro partition. Once you've got the camcorder in one side (in my case, the yummy Canon DC50) there's over half the space left. Well, once I'd put in a dvd or two, a pack of sandwiches and a flask and the entire works of Shakespeare, there was still space for a 3-piece suite and the cat.
Great if you want all the extra space for accessories etc, but I found it a pain lugging it around so went and bought a bag half the size on the High Street. It takes the camcorder, spare battery, wireless thingie and a spare dvd quite snugly thank you. I can't send the original back as I tore the packaging to pieces in my excitement when it arrived (I don't get out much).
As I can get both my camcorder and digital camera in the bigger bag, it will do very nicely next time I go on an expedition to the Antarctic. Otherwise, it'll probably gather dust. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with it and it is a very good quality item. If you can't get a foot on the housing ladder, you could do worse than move into it.
