Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been using this Kata bag now for over a year and highly recommend this (and similar) Kata bags. I prefer top-load bags for convenience and I try to keep a minimal amount of gear with me so this bag fits the bill perfectly. Currently I have a Pentax K20d with a Pentax 18-250mm lens (not a small camera!), battery charger and a few miscellaneous pieces and have room to spare. The protection built in by Kata seems to work quite well in spite of the bag being relatively light and not having the feeling of heavy padding. Their flexible reinforcement of the walls provides enough cushioning that I have never had a problem even while tossing the camera in the back of my car where it slides around, or even when it one time fell off a bar-stool to a tile floor.
As with any camera bag, perhaps the most critical thing is to think through the gear you intend to carry and insure that the bag you choose will do the right job for you. It surprises me when I read reviews where the bag is too small simply because it is not too difficult to do some quick checks to insure that your gear will fit and, if you want, you will have room for future growth. In my case, I wanted something to hold the gear above plus a flash (which I have yet to purchase!) and the DC-441 perfectly fits the bill. I didn't want a lot of extra space since I really do not plan on purchasing a half dozen lenses to carry around. Before you buy, though, I recommend going directly to Kata's website where you can actually specify your gear and Kata will recommend bags that will fit. Simple enough!
One final note regarding the lack of any protection for the LCD screens. I have previously used bags with this built in and it is a nice feature, however I simply keep a microfiber cloth on top of my camera which protects the screen and is also handy for cleaning the screen or (carefully!) the lens. Perhaps not as elegant as having a cover built into the bag, but it works nicely!
