Absolutely no issues with the Canon 200EG bag. It is as expected.The accessories bundled with this bag however are not worth your money. Calling it them cheap would be overstating the quality. The tripod was a Precision Design brand and it is so cheap and flimsy, there is no way I would ever put my DSLR on it. The mount is horrible, cheap plastic and there is zero fluidity in the head movement. The legs and bracing are thin and weak such that the tripod has little stability.
The included "screen protectors" were "universal size" and had to be cut to size which was a hassle. Even worse was the "screen protector film" scratched so bad when using the included cardboard wedge applicator that I immediately removed the plastic protector from my screen. A piece of packaging tape could have provided the same level of protection.
Memory Card walletnot worthy of even keeping around.
The spare battery may the only redeeming aspect of this bundle. However, it is not OEM and given the quality of the other accessories, I'm not holding out much hope that the battery life will be all that great.
My advise to youfind the bag elsewhere for around $45 and but the other items separately.
Canon backpack:
Genuine Canon product who has a lot of space and great protection. It is very comfortable to have on your back, and with tripod straps, it really makes carrying your dSLR a joy!
USB card reader:
A great little gadget that saves you a lot of trouble by connecting your whole camera to the computer. It will also extend the life time of your camera's battery by not having to turn it on and off just to transfer your picture
LCD protection:
3 pieces of LCD protection that has a "ruler" that you can cut out the desired shapes. I have not managed to successfully attaching the protection yet, so I think I will ask someone at our photo store to help me cut out the correct shape, since this is pretty difficult...
Memory Card wallet:
A memory card wallet with space for up to three memory cards
Battery:
A spare battery that really comes in handy when you are going to take a lot of picture and do not have any power outlet nearby.
Tripod:
I was a bit disappointing over the height of the Tripod, since it was too low for my preferences. But by all means, it is a great tripod for having on tables.
Cleaning kit:
A nice cleaning kit for the price of the whole backpack kit. You can get a lot better quality cleaning kit, but it does the work.
Back up software:
I have not tried this, but as all the other products are of great quality, i guess this will be too!I couldn't believe the deal. I got the backpack and it was legit Canon. The battery works great. I use it as a backup since it doesn't have the smart chip in it....but why pay $100 for a battery??? Tripod was cheap but does the job fine....especially if you didn't have a tripod to begin with. Amazing deal!Canon 200EG Deluxe Digital SLR Camera Backpack Case + LP-E6 Battery & Charger + Tripod + Accessory Kit for EOS 7D, 5D Mark II
-is it the 200DG as shown in the picture or is it the 200EG as detailed in the product description.
Wish Amaozon policed "their" market place -I use Amazon for the better, guaranteed products with no gimmicks IF I WANTED to take a chance I would have used eBay.
This looks like it would protect the camera well and look nice too. Great idea.
