4 Stars A Necessity
Canon calls this an Accessory Kit. I call it a Neccesity Kit. Here’s why. The Canon D10 is much too big to fit in a pants or shirt pocket. So where do you keep it if you want quick access? A gadget bag or a purse would work, except the D10 is meant for use in wet conditions like splashing around the pool or snorkeling. So this kit has several straps to secure the camera for exactly such activities. While kayaking, I attach one end of a strap to one corner of the D10, thread the strap through my life preserver, then attach the other end to another corner of the D10. The D10 is available instantly for that fleeting image, yet is totally safe should I dump into the water. The strap can be easily tightened to hold the camera tight to the body for strenuous activities like surfing or skiing. The straps and the unique way they attach to the D10 are the essense of this kit.
The kit includes a soft camera bag and three different colored covers to spruce up your D10. These are truly accessories. These are of little use to me, but you might like them.
So why only four stars for something I find essential? Because of the high price. I think this kit is way overpriced and thus I knocked off a star. But I recommend it if you use your D10 as I do and can afford it.
4 Stars Great Product, but way over priced.
I bought this accessory pack for my D10 shortly after I bought the camera from Amazon. I tried surfing with the wrist strap that comes with the D10, and it just did not work out very well. I really needed a strap that wrapped around my chest so that I could free up my hands, and at the same time secure my camera. I broke down and purchased this kit (somewhere else cheaper) because I really needed a solution.
Let me say that the quality of the rope attachments are very good. They are extremely strong and can take a lot of abuse from scraping and being submerged in water. I mostly use the strap with the small carabiner on it because you can adjust the length. It is also nice to be able to attach the ends of the rope to any corner of the camera, making it more comfortable to wear.
Now when I am out surfing or snorkeling, I am able to wrap it around my chest, adjust it so its snug, and I am on my way. I have used it successfully in this manner for months, and really happy with this setup.
I wish they would really lower the price on this kit, because every Canon D10 owner should have one. There is no way ropes or faceplates cost this much to manufacturer. So come on Canon, stop gouging people.
3 Stars Pricey, but worth it if you don’t want to loose the camera
I had to spend the money for one cable that was important for me to have. I was going to hawaii to do a ton of snorkling and I wanted the chest strap so I didn’t have to worry about loosing my camera or the great pictures I was planning on taking.
I am majorly disapointed that you have to purchase everything to get one accessory that you want. However, the strap and the camera worked great. It is well worth the insurance policy of having this strap if you are snorkling in the water with this camera, but a darn shame they make you buy the rest of these worthless accessories for one good one. I guess I will have to ebay them!
5 Stars Great neoprene cover for the Canon underwater camera
I like the way you can pop the camera in and out to get the fast photos. An assortment of cables that connect the camera to yourself, the boat, etc. may be a bit of overkill, but gives you options to pick what works.

5 Stars used camera bag
this camera bag was just as good as pictured .could not believe it wasn,t new.
4 Stars good bag not perfect
This is a good bag. The major concern is that there is no zip for the cover. It only has clips for cover. If you forget to put back clips, it will be a big problem when you hold the bag’s handler. Your camera and lens will drop to ground. Be careful.
4 Stars Canon 2400 camera bag.
The Canon 2400 camera bag fits all my needs at the present time. There is room for my T1i with lense attached, extra battery and charger plus 3 filters/case. Bag is designed with velcro compartments so you can arrange them as needed, I still have room for a 200mm zoom lense with the above in the bag.
Good bag, not too big, but it is a camera bag! plenty of spare room, and fair insulation in case you drop bag, a good buy!
4 Stars Nice camera bag
Nice bag and well made. Excellent padding. Light weight. It has space for all your camera accys and then some. In fact, the bag can be a little bit too big at times. One that was a touch smaller would have been perfect.
5 Stars Excellent Bag
I have a canon xsi and two lenses and a flash along with another point and shoot camera. On the side I carry my extra items on the two side pouches. It has all the room I need and is easy to carry. The price was right.
The Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG was designed with enough room to hold one or two camera bodies, three to four lenses, as well as an assortment of film, batteries, and other necessities for photographers. Featuring reinforced, padded pockets and compartments, the 100EG is a serious bag for the traveling photographer. Practical and attractive, the 100EG is a great way to protect your equipment from moisture and dust as well as the wear and tear that results from excessive handling.

5 Stars It works
Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG..
Fits my Canon S3 IS in the center main compartment.
Also fits my Canon SD 880 IS, in one of the side compartments.
Battery chargers for both cameras (along with spare batteries for each camera) fit in the front compartment.
Very handy bag, with room for 2 cameras, chargers, batteries, and perhaps one extra lens.
5 Stars Let me tell you why this bag ROCKS
Alright, this is hands down the best bag of it’s size and function I have ever seen. I had bought this bag, and after my longtime camera broke, I gave it to a friend of mine. When I got a new camera, I figured I’d get another bag. When I went shopping again for a bag, I realized what a treasure this Canon bag was, and I had a hard time tracking it back down!
First off, I want to start with this brought forward, “for it’s size and function.” This bag is not big enough for all your toys. I chose it from the shelf of a camera store because I wanted a bag as small as possible that would hold my limited camera setup, so I could bring everything with me without having to “pack”, but small enough to actually carry around all day and not have it be in the way all the time. It’s roughly the same size as a woman’s purse (though a little squarer in shape). That said, I currently carry in it:
Nikon D200 body (with protective rubber body, which makes it a little bulkier)
Attached 18-200mm lens with hood
SB-600 speedlight
2 extra batteries
battery charger and cord
usb cord and card reader
video cord for plugging into RCA input
remote trigger and reciever
extra memory card
lens cleaning cloths and a tiny LED flashlight (about 3″ long)
a pez dispenser for plugging into the hotshoe (makes the kiddies smile) and extra pez
This makes it crowded enough to make it hard to get the camera in/out quickly, but fits everything for quick pick-up and carry. That said, taking the cords, pez, batteries, charger and extra CF card and putting them in a small pouch that hangs on the strap makes sufficient room to easily access everything else very easily. To me, the size is just right, but size is not why this bag rocks!
I ride offroad motorcycles and frequently take the camera with me. Off course, I’m concerned about it banging around or crashing and getting broken. This bag relieves this concern in several fundemental ways that I have yet to see on another bag.
First, look at the hardware. IT’S MADE OF METAL. the clips, zipper, hooks, NO PLASTIC. The hook at each end of the strap is a rotating clip. The way it’s designed makes it so that you cannot apply stress to the clips just by twisting, so they last a lot longer. Plus, the spring loaded clip is shaped such that it’s nearly impossible to accidentally unclip them, but very easy if you want to.
Second, look at the stitching. The solid metal ring on the bag that the strap clips to is inserted into nylon that is stitched all the way down the side of the bag and into the bottom. There six inches of stitching holding the strap on, and it’s all visible. Even the top handle is totally solid, I never worry about the strap coming loose, or breaking suddenly. The ones I was seeing in the store, were plastic clips, attached to 1/4″ wide strap
that had 1/2″ of stitching holding it in. On other bags, in an environment where the bag is undergoing some motion, those clips could break, the stitching could come out, or the strap that the clip is attached to could break – all in an instant without any sign of wear. With this bag, I can see how close anything is to breaking.
Third, and I can’t believe this is not touted in the item description, there is another strap on this bag! You can fold it back, tuck it inside a pouch in the back so that most of the time, the bag is just a regular shoulder strap orientation, but you can pull out this second strap that goes around your waist. Once again, the hardware on the second strap is high quality. On the motorcycle, this relieves most pressure from the shoulder strap, since it’s really strapped tightly around my waist. No bouncing around at all. However, extreme environments aside, when I’m just walking around town shooting, I take out the second strap, tie the bag to my back essentially, and it’s not constantly in the way swinging around, I don’t even notice it. In addition, with the extra strap, my shoulders don’t get as tired walking around with a heavy camera for a long time from a single shoulder strap.
Finally, and no one got a picture of this, there are plastic runners on the bottom of the bag, so as it’s used, picked up, put down, dragged around, whatever, it’s not wearing a hole in the bottom of the bag.
All in all, I was impressed at the quality in this bag when I first got it. When I start looking at other name brand bags that are supposed to do the same thing, I am amazed at the lack of quality in some of the most fundamental areas. If this bag ever wears out, I will seek out another one just like it again and again until someone else starts meeting some of the basic needs of an outdoor photographer.
5 Stars Canon Camera bat
Camera bag is nice and durable. Our Canon Ti1 fits snugly with two lenses (base plus telephoto) and a few small items (extra cards, cords, cleaning cloths and camera strap.) We recently found out that it is not waterproof. There is a lot of insulation, so the camera didn’t get wet (even in a pretty steady downpour.) We’ll be spraying it with scotchguard before our next big trip, though, so as not to have to deal with a damp bag. Got a great price on Amazon- the price at Target was about $20 more.
4 Stars A good small bag
I can fit my T1i (with lens on) and one (extra) lens/flash in this bag. Also, memory cards and extra battery can be kept in the pocket. In summary, a good small bag. If you need to store more than one extra lens, then this bag is too small.
5 Stars Great size and very useful!
I got this bag to hold my Canon Digital Rebel XSi (12.2 MP), my 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens and my 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens. At first I was worried it would be too small, but after looking at the images submitted by other reviewers, I decided to take the chance.
Everything fits GREAT. I love the easy clip in the front/all around zipper combination and there is plenty of room to keep extra betteries, cards, my charger and more.
I use the handle to carry it around, so I leave the shoulder strap off, but my husband loves the waste strap when he is using it.
If you are looking for a compact bag with lots of options, this is the bag for you!

2 Stars Not to impressed
When i put this on my camera I thought it would soften the look of my pictures. It just made them a little darker. Picture with out this product came out fine.
1 Star doesnt work??
when it thach the elctric pins it doesnt pop up it think its the out flash garbage
5 Stars Nice little extra
Sometimes this little gadget softens when I need it. I think for the money it is a nice little extra to carry around. You might have a shot that turns out just the way you liked without all the bulkiness of carrying something bigger to do the same thing. Worth the money.
1 Star did not fit my canon xti
i DRILLED the thing apart trying to prevent it from preventing the flash from going off at all. when i was done, the thing wouldn’t stay in the hole. garbage for me. the plastic was strong as hell, i’ll give it that. but if you have an xti, this won’t work.
