Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The C500 is a very cool-looking bag. It's got a military/safari sensibility and is the same price as your basic black nylon camera bag. There are a TON of pockets and a water-repellent ripstop nylon cover is in a bottom pocket. However, even with the cover on, I would not want this bag out in any kind of heavy rains.
Mine is a little darker than the bag pictured and I really like the look and design. It's an incredible value for $30 and I hope it holds up to heavy use. I picked this up to hold a rangefinder camera and it's a bit big for that task. It's more suited as an SLR bag. A 5D with a bulky 16-35mm zoom fits, but it's tight. It will hold an SLR with a small lens and one additional small lens.
It's not very well-balanced in design. When you set it down with a camera in it, it wants to roll to a side (so be careful). When you use the hand strap it leans heavily forward. Though neither of these issues bothers me. The shoulder strap is comfortable and well-balanced and that's important. There are plenty of straps to lash on an additional pocket or place a carabiner.
All in all, I really think this is a unique bag. It's got a rugged/adventurous look, but just don't take it out in a monsoon or rafting.
