Fits XSI/450D nicely 
2008-06-30
I got this for $20 from amazon along w/ the Nikon Lens brush for about $25 total and free shipping. The canon XSI w/ the kit 18-55mm IS lens fits snugly if you know how to position the camera. First, drop down the camera strap into the base of the bag (see picture #1 that I uploaded). Then put in the camera. Then Fold the strap over and rest it on top of the lcd screen. The strap will provide a second layer of cushinging for the lcd screen. The bag is the most compact one that you can get out there. The front pocket fits the charger, the nikon lens brush that I bought, and a few memory cards. Great value. Note, don't expect to fit any other lens.
People are wrong, it all fits. 2008-06-27
This bag was on sale when I bought it with my D40. People are very incorrect in saying what does and does not fit. It DEFINITELY fits a D40 with a 55-200 lens. Also, I have since upgraded first to the Nikon 18-200 lens, and more recently to a D80. It absolutely fits my D80 with 18-200, much less any lesser combination of my gear. The only thing is, it is a tight fit unless I take off my Bogen tripod plate and put it in the side pocket.
Great Bag for the Price!

This bag is great for my D40 with the kit lens. It also has additional room for a USB cable, filter, memory card, ect. This bag will not hold the charger though. It's great if you have a small DSLR camera and only care to shoot with the kit lens. Comfortable bag. It's also big enough to hold my D40 WITH the strap, so you won't have to worry about removing the strap or letting the strap hang outside the bag. All in all great bag for the low price, I just wish it had enough room in the front pouch to hold the charger and the charging cable for my camera battery.
Good bag, a little small. 2008-06-13
Very good camera bag, my canon xsi feets perfectly. Maybe it should have more pockets. But its very good for tourist traveling.
Works great with Olympus E510 2008-05-24
What it is: A good, small, soft-shell day bag for my Olympus e510 SLR. The camera fits well in the bag with either the 14-42mm or 40-150mm Olympus kit lens attached. True, there isn't room for the camera and both lenses but, so far, this has not been an issue. The bag offers good equipment protection for the money and is comfortable carrying around on day trips (padded, lightweight, good strap, good zippers).
What it isn't: This bag is not intended to haul around lots of equipment. As noted above there is only room for the camera and an attached lens inside the main pocket. If you want to carry extra lenses or equipment larger than an extra battery or memory card, this bag will be a disappointment.
Bottom line: If you're looking for an inexpensive but quality soft-side day bag for your SLR, I recommend this bag. If you are concerned with whether the bag will accommodate your camera, check out other reviews for comments on similar size cameras before buying.
Very compact camera bag 2008-05-21
Lowepro's smallest holster-style shoulder bag includes a zippered front pocket, interior laminated-mesh pocket for filters and accessories, padded hand grip and a reverse-open lid. Carry it on the non-slip shoulder strap or on your belt.
Great bag, great price 2008-05-16
I use this to store my Nikon D-50 with 18-55mm zoom lens. Fits perfectly with room for cables and filters or a battery in the front pocket. Handy zipper compartment inside the top is perfect for my remote shutter controller and spare memory cards. If you need a utility case to transport the basics, this bag is a great choice.
Fits Nikon D40 with 18-55 lens but not 55-200 
2008-05-16
I purchased this bag based on the review which states it fits a Nikon D40 with either the 18-55 kit lens or the 55-200 zoom lens. This is certainly not true, as I would have to seriously squish the camera, remove the strap and force the zipper for the case to fit the camera with my 55-200 VR lens. If you are looking for a bag that will fit both, I would bump up to the TZ 1 rather than the mini. The quality of this bag is excellent as expected from Lowepro, but unfortunately, now I'll have to purchase a second bag for when I want to use my zoom lens.
Great mini-bag 2008-05-11
Lowepro makes great inexpensive camera bags and the Topload Zoom Mini is exceptionally well designed. Very sturdy construction and a decent amount of padding without making it bulky. The non-slip surface under the top of the shoulder strap does well at keeping it on your shoulder. I love that the top of the bag opens away from me for easy access to the camera and protects me from dropping it as I'm trying to put it back in. The front compartment has plenty of room for extra batteries and even a couple of filters. This is the perfect bag for roaming around the Smoky Mountains taking photos on the trail.
By the way, one other review stated that this bag was a perfect fit for their Fuji S9100. No, no, no!!! I have an S9100 and getting it in this bag requires that I wriggle, push, and STUFF it in. Way too tight. Made me very nervous that I would damage my camera trying to get it back out.
HOWEVER, this bag was perfect for my Fuji S5100, a considerably smaller zoom camera. Guess that's why Lowepro calls this a "mini zoom" bag. The next bigger size of this bag is a fantastic fit for my S9100 with plenty of room but not too much. If you're debating between the two bags compare the size of your camera to these two Fuji cameras and let that be your guide. Great bag, no fear..........
Excellent fit! 2008-04-24
I bought this bag for my Nikon D40 and I couldn't be happier with it. My camera fits into the bag perfectly (with the kit lens) and the extra pocket on the front is great. I thought the bag was very reasonably priced. Overall, a great buy!
