Conclusion: Perfect for the DVX100B and cameras in that size/weight range
Review: It suits my needs perfectly. I store the shotgun mike in the outside pocket. I put my extra battery and tapes in one corner pocket and the lav mikes in the other. The rest of the minor stuff (charger etc) fits perfectly in the large side pocket.
The camera is perfectly stable and held down by a strap. The packaging all round is sturdy foam.
If you're thinking of carrying this for regular shoots with your tripod et all, it's a good idea to buy this but if you're hiking or wandering through and just want to pull your camera out for shooting on the run, you're better off purchasing a backpack case. KATA has some pretty good options in that area as well.
For long term storage of your equipment, buy a steel case - the Panasonic one that's specially moulded for your DVX100B.

Conclusion: Good Quality Buy!
Review: Well I just got this bag for my Panasonic ag-dvx100b and it works great! I will say straight away however I have only had this for a few days, but from what I've seen, it works amazingly. The bag's corners are very rigid to protect it from even moderate hits and the material the outside walls are made of seem very durable. The inside is a nice yellow padding felt like fabric with three dividers. two horizontal shorter ones, and a long one that runs the whole length of the bag. The strap is large and very comfortable, spreading the weight of a possibly heavy camera. All in all this bag looks like it will protect your equipment from certain degrees of pain. It is no metal case, so don't sit on it or toss it, yet for what you pay it will give you a very nice sense of security with easy access and comfort.

Conclusion: Great Bag for the Price
Review: This camcorder bag works perfectly for my Canon XH A1. It's big and roomy and has plenty of storage for extras. It's been my carry-on at the airport a number of times and the shoulder strap is very comfortable. My one qualm and reason for the 4 star rating is that it lacks a solid bottom layer. It would have been a lot nicer if they would have just used some firm plastic for the bottom of this thing, but instead its just fabric and padding. I think if I ever dropped the bag and it landed on concrete, it might cause damage. But that's what I get for buying a soft-case. You just have to be a bit more careful with it.

Conclusion: Better than Expected
Review: I just bought this for the Canon XH A1 HDV Camera (which I haven't had a chance to fit into this bag yet, as it just arrived). First impression is that it's better than expected. It's larger, more cushioned, has an excellent shoulder strap, has an internal camera strap for when it's being transported, and the internal dividers are better than I expected. I was worried that it would be more basic (just a shell), but those worries were unfounded. It also has a side slot for holding a Tripod, which I wasn't aware of.
All in all, I think this is the right bag (I didn't want a hard case, as they're difficult to carry around the streets, unless you're driving right up to the show site).

Conclusion: Annoying mostly
Review: I bought this bag for my Panasonic AG-DVX100B. If fits fine. It has enough padding. Shoulder strap and carrying handle are good. My dislikes are that it does not have enough separate zippered compartments. Only one on the side. The big inside pouch for the camera has little velcro walls that are moveable, which is not as good as zippered compartments for tapes, batteries, etc. Decent bag, but it wastes a lot of space.
