A perfect holster for my everyday use 
2008-09-28
I purchased this item (Canon Zoom Pack 1000 Holster) about six years ago for my old Canon Elan 7e film camera. It provided a perfect fit for this full-size camera, with the EF 28-135mm USM IS lens and its lens hood mounted. After I switched over to the Canon digital Rebel XT, the new camera body is a lot smaller, and so is the equivalent EF-S lens. What I found is that with the extra space available, I can actually fit my external flash unit inside the holster. It is a rather tight fit, but the good thing is they won't knock against each others inside.
Here is what I can store inside this holster: Canon Rebel XT, EF-S 17-85mm USM IS lens (with EW-73B lens hood fitted in reverse), Canon 420EX Speedlite, LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer, polarizer filter, video cable, spare battery pack, CF cards, plus a few more small items. When necessary, I can also use it to carry my Rebel XT with the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip mounted. But of course, the flash unit won't fit in this case.
I've been carrying this holster to and back from work almost daily, plus several oversea trips during the past 5-6 years. It is still in excellent condition. To me, the quality of its construction fully justifies its higher price.
Ok for the price

Build quality and design are not great.
The zipper head inside the top cover may leave scratch on the back of the camera - could have been just a velcro. It looks huge from outside for a holster style but not enough useful space inside for Rebel XSi - a lot of 1/2" thick dead space around the camera and lens not very useful for storing accessories. Could have had more storage pockets outside and shrunk the bag a little bit. A buckle-strap might be used to the top cover instead of velcro.
Some of above issues my be solved by putting camera strap first then the camera body and lens. However, the design, color, texture and size all remind me of military equipment not camera - even with a canon logo.
I am returning it and will pick one at a local camera store after carefully evaluating the design inside and out.
Love it! 2008-07-19
This is a great bag. It holds my Canon 30D with the 28-135 lens attached. It also holds the spare battery and USB cable. It comes with a removable shoulder strap and a small carrying handle if the strap is removed.
The strange thing is that it also has another strap so that it can be worn around the waist but that strap can not be removed. I may end up cutting it off later since I will never wear this around my waist.
perfect fit! Great case! 2008-05-27
I looked at a lot of cases until I decided on this one. This case is great! It is padded and protects the camera and is easy to undo and get the camera out. I am very glad I bought it. Also has room for some small cords and battery charger...
holster pac k - the way to go 
2008-04-06
Athough this case is a bit heavier and bulkier than I would like it is well padded and rugged and will wear well. It has little niches for small accessories. I would reccommend it to anyone. Holster type is the way to go for the bulkier digital reflex cameras. With the longer lenses they tend to hang lens down anyway (go with the flow!) I use it with the belt rather than the shoulder strap.
My Rebel XT with battery Grip fits perfectly 2008-03-12
Made of ballistic nylon, this fully padded heavy-duty Canon Zoom Pack 1000 case holds your full-size 35mm camera and its zoom lens. It is equipped with a belt for carrying at waist level and an accessory compartment where you can place your films and filters.
Perfect fit. 2008-03-05
Bought this bag for my Canon Rebel K2 and was very pleased with this product. I can fit my camera with 70-300 lens attached with room for filters, batteries, and spare roll of film. Heavyweight construction and comes with "no-slip" shoulder strap and waist belt built in. Would recommend this bag for anyone starting out with the need for a durable bag.
It fits Great with macro lenses!! 2008-02-29
Its perfect for having the camera with a macro lens (USM 2.8 100mm), normally i have to take the lens off with others holders, but with this one it fits perfect, the materials are high quality and it feels safe and sturdy.
Canon Zoom Pack 1000 is awesome 2008-02-27
The Canon Zoom Pack 1000 is a great quality waterproof holster bag for $22. It's nicely padded with room for a tele lens. It has a zipper to entirely close the bag or you can use the velcro for quick access to your SLR. The shoulder strap is well padded with non-slip material. It also comes with a built-in waist snap-on strap that can be hidden when using the shoulder strap.
The con side to this bag is that it is a bit bulky as compared to the OP/TECH neoprene DSLR case. And this bag will not fit in a camera bag without taking out most of the padded dividers.

Canon Zoom Pack 1000 for Elan and Rebel Series Cameras (Holster Style) I found this camera case to be very usefull. First the different ways to carry it. Wast,Shoulder or Hand. Room for my extra Flash cards inside and outside a pocket to carry extra batterys and a small pen light.my Canon RebelXTi fit real nice inside. The best feature of this case is the Rain flap, that protects camera and contents from geting wet (and it did rain some in Alaska). Outside pocket could use a second zipper. If you dont close zipper all the way contents can fall out. But I'll still rate it a 5 Star.
