[QUOTE="Blurrymess, post: 47871, member: 9022"] I'm not sure if this is the best place for this topic, but I just received the camera bag I purchased for my D5100 and thought I'd post my thoughts. I got a Clik Elite Camera Capsule - small. Not really a "camera bag" per se, more like a padded insert with divisions for camera equipment. Since I walk around and travel a lot with the D5100, I wanted a bag that would not only keep it safe, but not be an advertisement that I was carrying a camera. I walk around With 1 Lens on the body and another lens, so a ton of storage was not a concern. Looked at a few "bags" and "packs", but they didn't seem right for me. I came across this insert, and went for it as it seemed to provide the most flexibility in terms of using different regular bags I already own. So far I'm very happy with it. The walls seem like they provide decent protection. The interior has 2 walls with Velcro that can be moved as desired, which creates 3 compartments (2 with top flaps). The D5100 body with a 40mm lens fits perfectly with vertical room to spare if I used a larger lens. I have the 18-55mm in one of the side compartments which fits perfectly. And I have another odds and ends in the other side compartment. The camera body does not make the outside walls of the capsule protrude, but I don't know with a larger body, or with an attached battery grip. The quality of material and build feels excellent, and the double zipper feels tough. Ive slipped this into various bags and packs I own, and it's lightness and usability seems great. I get easy access for shooting by fitting it into a messenger bag, and easy travel by slipping it into a check-in case. I had a look at some other inserts, but went with this because it had a zipper. The material on this seems semi water resistant, but it's probably not cause they would advertise the hell out of that. The thickness of the walls seem to be a decent balance of providing adequate protection while retaining the compactness to be usable in as many bags as possible. It has a top handle which is useful. There are no additional pockets, but I suspect that's to cut down on size. Overall, I think it's great for people who want to carry a small amount of gear in non-camera bags, and I'm very happy with the usability and build of it. [/QUOTE]
