I began to run out of room in my Canon EG200 bag so I spent a lot of time finding the right bag, the Ape Case Pro2000 seemed perfect, 99.78 at amazon, free shipping

This bag is large and very deep, with A LOT of padding and security features.

Next to the 200EG

Incase you dont want to fiddel with the zipper of the interior compartment, the lid has velcro to attach it to the main lid

Underneath the bag there is a zipper which hides the pull out rain cover, it has a waist harness and well as the two shoulder harnesses

All in all, im very happy with the bag over the Canon, it seems too big but it fits my gear, i cant have it both ways, the shoulder straps are very confortable and the main zippers are ehavy duty

Im looking into increasing my bag size. I currently have the Lowepro Flipside 200. My only question is, what do you think of the durability of the bag? Planning on taking it with my to Afghanistan when i deploy. Do you think it will hold up or should i go with another lowepro? Thanks...

Thanks for the write up, I ordered the 1800 last week and it's far too small. I'm swapping for this bag and it looks like it should fit everything perfectly

I have the Ape Case messenger style bag. I really like its construction and quality. Would recommend that brand. Thanks for posting your review.
