Today I’ve got a quick review for you of a camera bag from Hama called the Microfiber Compact Camera Cleaner Bag. Yes that’s a rather long name but it describes it perfectly as the bag itself actually incorporates a microfiber cleaning cloth into the bag to keep the screen clean. The bag is just a very basic product, but it works as advertised and helps to protect and clean your camera or whatever else you may want to put into it.

The Review
The Hama Microfiber bag actually comes in a rather large box for what it is. The box is really plastic with a cardboard outer covering.
It’s two colors, black on one side and gray on the other. The bag closes via a drawstring that does have a lock on it to keep it closed. The cloth is rather thin so it’s not exactly padded.
The inside is a soft material which helps to protect and keep your device clean. You can use the bag for a camera, cell phone or MP3 player or whatever else you might think of. The microfiber cleaning cloth can clean the lens and screen of your camera or the screens on your phone or MP3 player. If you wear glasses you could even clean them with it if need be.
Since the bag is made for compact cameras I used it with my Fuji Z900EXR.
My camera fit just fine in the bag as you can see but I left the wrist strap sticking out.
Summary and Comments
The Hama Microfiber Camera Bag is just that, a bag made from thin material so it won’t exactly offer much in the way of protection for what’s inside of it. I wouldn’t use the bag by itself for protection, but you could put it into another bag like with your laptop or a purse.
The bag doesn’t have any pockets so you won’t be taking anything with you like spare batteries or memory cards.
Overall it’s not a bad product, it just doesn’t offer much in the way of protection from bumps or drops. It does work as advertised; it’s a cloth bag that can help keep your camera clean. For the price of about $11, yes it’s worth it, but I wouldn’t use it as the only thing protecting my camera.
