5 Stars solid bag!
I have three things to say about the bag:

1. it is roomy, padded, can fit a camera + extra lens + filters + cleaning kit and still have space left…

2. IT IS AWESOME:

a) I left it on the beach and started walking, by the time I came back, the waves came to it, dragged it a little bit on the sand and toppled it over. I was very afraid, I ran down to it, opened it up and guess what?

ALL THE CONTENTS WERE DRY!!!! the camera, the filters, the lens… everything! I was SO SO SO SO happy

b) I was shooting pictures on a hill, and it was foggy and slippery, so on my way down, I slipped, knocked the ground hard and slid a bit (my bag did the same ).

NOTHING BROKE the bag is really nicely padded and will keep your contents safe

If I ever buy another bag… I will buy the SAME bag.

3) You don’t have to go for $100+ bags to get PROTECTION… most of them will get you STYLE.

That being said, the bag is NOT a stylish bag… it is kinda boxy and clunky and all… but if you ask me, it gets the job done… and I happen to be of the opinion that the job of the bag is to protect the contents, not to be flashy.

Thanks!

5 Stars Canon SLR Gatget bag
Purchased this item and it came within 2-3 days. It is a great bag to store my Canon XTI digital SLR. Has room for my lenses and more. Also store my JVC digital camcorder in the bag and still have room left for more

This is an excellent camera bag and completely adaptable for Canon Rebel camera models. The quality is excellent too. It gets used on an almost daily basis and I have only one complaint. The shoulder strap slips when I wear a Landsend Classic Squall jacket (Supplex nylon). Not a problem with cotton materials. I could fix it with a homemade snap on strap cover, if I wasn’t so lazy.

3 Stars Camera bag
Great bag, but one drawback, IT’S HUGE!! If you like big bulky camera bags then this one will be great for you. Also, if you have ALL the accessories that fit into it then…AWESOME, this is for you. However, if you’re just looking for something to fit 1 SLR camera body and 1-2 lens then you may want to look for a smaller bag. Don’t get me wrong, this will protect all your belongings, just keep in mind that it has enough room to fit 2 SLR bodies, 3-4 lens and then some

5 Stars Great bag!
This is a very sturdy bag. It is huge and will hold EVERYTHING. If you choose this bag, you may want to have a smaller one as well for just the essentials.

3 Stars Not well designed
The quality is pretty good, but it’s kind of a pain to fit over over my camera and lens. It’s too small to use with my Canon 200mm f/2. It has the length, but is too narrow to fit the diameter of the lens. They should have made the lens end larger. It would not only fit more lenses, it would make it easier to put the cover on all lenses. And it wouldn’t add much to the weight, bulk, or expense of the cover.

It’s also rather bulky, because it’s so stiff.

I find myself using plastic bags more than this. They are easier to carry, since they fold up small, and fit more lenses.

UPDATE: I recently bought the Camera Rain Cover For Canon Models with lens combinations up to 13″ long: XT XTi XSi 5D 10D 20D 30D 40D 300D 350D 400D 450D EOS 1Ds 1D 1V K2 T2 Ti XS Rebel, and find it much more useful than the Kata raincover. Easier to pack, and it fits my Canon 200mm f/2.0. And it’s cheaper, too.

5 Stars Great Product
Recently visited Costa Rica and my camera was well protected during the on and off down pours. Great product, easy to use.

2 Stars good idea in time they will probably work out the bugs
I really had high hopes for this rain cover. First off it is well made with quality materials. The biggest problem I had was using it on a canon zoom lens(24-105L) the lens extends when zoomed and the only way I could fit this was to clamp the nylon skirt to the lens barrel and then attach the Velcro shield to the hood. Doing this leaves the bottom of the lens between the lens barrel and the front element exposed (the part that moves in and out of the barrel ……definitely an area you don’t want water to get onto) you can pull the nylon skirt over the lens hood then clamp the Velcro guard over the nylon skirt and the hood but since the Velcro guard is fastened directly to the plastic, zooming becomes a real pain as the plastic is pulled back and forth. If they had attached the Velcro guard to the nylon skirt I think it would have worked for me and I probably would have given it 5 stars. Or if you have a lens that doesn’t extend or rotate I would give it 5 stars. But for a lens that extends, sadly I really cant recommend this, but from what I’ve seen out there for under $200.00 this is probably as good as, if not better than most. They make an add on skirt for longer lenses but I have heard complaints that it is really big. I will probably end up selling this and just getting a couple of the cheepies or do the garbage bag thing just for emergencies. Kata seems to be a really innovative company and I’m guessing not to far down the road they will make improvements.

4 Stars Awkward but Competent
Kata E-702 Large Digital SLR Camera Raincover

First time out with the raincover. It is a bit awkward and took some experimenting to adjust the cover over the lens. Huge downpour while shooting lions, tigers and bears. The camera remained dry. Some difficulty with access to the camera’s controls and using the view finder. At this price point the cover is a best buy. Camera used: Nikon D60 with 18-55 and 55-200 lens.

4 Stars Great camera cover
This rain protector is in keeping with the quality of Kata’s other products that I own – solidly built and functional.
