Very nice. It holds all my gadgets, and has plenty of room for other thingd.

The card that came with mine identifies it as the SC-405BK - it's identical to what's shown here, except that there is a rubber Opteka logo sewn into the front pouch. I'm a bit annoyed by the price shown here - not bad at all for what you get, and I'm sure I paid a little bit more. It's strictly functional for the amateur photographer, but may fall apart and has no weather sealing.
For the price, it's very decent. You get side pockets for your batteries, charger, and memory cards. The front pocket holds a tabletop tripod with ease (and room for at least one more), but isn't deep enough to hold a lens - I can physically place one or possibly even two kit zooms (like the Canon 28-90mm f4-5.6 III, and probably the current 18-55mm too) but the front buckles out. A good sign is that the front of this pocket is actually quite rigid. The center pocket is good for holding a prosumer SLR like a 35mm film body like the EOS Rebel T2, or the more modern T1i (500D in non markets outside North America). You can attach a lens and put something else in the case. Currently, I have the T1i, a 50mm f/1.4 with the hood attached, and an old black plastic camera cleaning box from the 80s between (I keep it around for the lens brush and blower). That's about all the space you get. I also would attach a small to medium lens case like the Lowepro 1W to the shoulder strap for taking to your site, but be careful that the belt attachment point doesn't snag on something.
The advertised microfiber construction probably keeps dust down, and it hasn't generated any static that I've noticed. The shoulder sling has a contour where it meets the shoulder, though even this small bag could start to strain your neck if you pack the bag full, in which respect heavier bags will do worse.
So what's simply bad? As another reviewer noted, many seams are cheaply done. It came with loose threads poking around the ends of the zippers on both sides of the main compartment. I haven't noticed this elsewhere. It's holding up just fine, but it's poor fit and finish when it comes that way new. It also has me worried that it'll start to unravel over time - some of the loose threads happily mingle with the zipper teeth.
More seriously, all that protects your camera and lenses from the elements is a simple zipper and the lightly padded walls of the bag. The wall of the bag doesn't seem likely to let liquids through, but the seams and zipper will. This allowed a lens to fog up badly when a dedicated, better-made bag for a single lens with a lip between the zipper and the thick wall did not. I don't believe any claims this is waterproof, and didn't see any in any case. A few cents' investment in a plastic bag resolves the fogging problem, but it's added trouble and many photographers will not appreciate the extra steps. If you find yourself shooting in all-weather conditions (which, of course, many people don't) and need to protect your equipment you should look elsewhere.
If you're just shooting pictures at the occasional balmy vacation resort, or a climate-controlled interior (and haven't left your bag in a cold car overnight), this bag does well, doesn't take too much space providing extra padding, and slings across the shoulder easily.

I was required to buy a Nikon camera for a college class this semester, so I bought a hardly used Nikon D50 that came with a 18-55mm lens. Soon thereafter, a good friend of mine gave me a 70-300mm lens that he was no longer using. I needed a good camera bag, yet an affordable one at the same time. This bag neatly fit my camera body (with strap attached), my 70-300mm lens, and my 18-55mm lens all in the one compartment. In the top zipper I fit all of the cleaning supplies that came with the bag (very cheaply made supplies here, but they do the job just fine). The mini tripod and a few cords for my camera fit in the front zipper on the front of the bag. The tripod is pretty useless for a DSLR such as a Nikon or a Canon, but I've used it twice already with my 18-55mm lens and while it's not very tall, it was sturdy enough that it worked for what I needed to use it for at the time. I'm not even going to try to use it with my 70-300mm lens on! But this is just a minor annoyance, as these accesories were free anyway.
The Bag is a GREAT value -- and my only complaint thus far is that I wish it had more than just one small divider for the inner compartment..However I am gratefull that it did at least come with one -- and it velcros on quite nicely on the inside.
I DEFINITELY reccomend this for DSLR owners that are low on money and only have two lenses -- Any more would not fit in it, but it is perfect for my purposes.

I just got this bag today, I looked at the reviews here alot of reviews said this bag should fix a DSLR camera and 2 lenses. This totally wrong, it can fix just a DSLR camera itself, I have a Sony Alpha 200, this bag fix a DSLR camera boy and the 18-70mm lens kit. That is it. You can not fix the 2 lenses with this bag. Also, now I looked at the the picture of the bag on Amazon.com this outside cover is not the same the one I got today! can't complaint much since it's only 15usd plus 7usd for shipping.

I have a Nikon D90 and this bag fits my D90 PERFECTLY! It can also hold small misc things in the various zippers all over the bag (i.e. memory cards, flash drives, cleaning kits, tabletop tripod [included but too small to hold up the D90], and other various small items. All I have right now is my camera and small accessories, but if you have a dslr camera AND a flash then your going to need a bigger bag. But its the perfect size for just the camera! I love it!! :)
