Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) As an avid photographer I was pleased to have this opportunity to take Lowepro's Toploader Zoom 45AW camera bag on a test run. Besides protection one of the first things I look for is actual interior storage capacity. Nothing worse then bringing home a bag and finding out your gear doesn't fit. My go to camera is the Nikon D300. This bag easily accommodated both my camera and an attached Nikkor 18-105mm lens. The interior dimensions are 6.3"W x 4.1"D x 6.4"H. It weighs in at 6 ounces. It goes without saying that inspection of the padding is paramount. Anything less then 5mm is unacceptable. The folks at Lowepro did a first rate job in that area. The quality of the weather proof nylon is good. The stitching job is adequate. The interior zipper pocket is nice but offers only enough space for a few SD cards. The front exterior zipper pocket allows for easy storage of batteries or filters. Just a note that the front pocket is not padded. The much touted all weather cover is a sweet addition. It does a great job and easily folds back into the velcro fastened storage compartment. Even though I like the lanyard mounting on the zippers, its a given that the thin nylon cords will eventually have to be replaced. The belt loop is a novel idea. I used it as an anchor for other gear. The removable nylon shoulder strap is fully expandable. The only thing I don't like about this camera bag is the plastic D rings and hooks. Its been my experience that over the years these items do not hold up well. I'll be replacing the plastic parts with metal. Speaking from personal experience, I can say that Lowepro has for years lived up to their billing as having one of the best lifetime limited warranties anywhere. Four years ago I had a problem with the zippers on one of their products. I sent it to the factory for repair and surprisingly received a new replacement bag. That alone speaks volumes. Lowepro also sports a consumer friendly website for registration and product support. Even with the plastic parts issue, I find the overall quality of the Lowepro Toploader 45AW Camera Bag first rate. For the Amazon price alone, this bag is a bargain.
