BodyBag vs BodyBag PS: Which Camera Cover Fits Your Kit?

The deciding factor is your camera type, not the bag

The LensCoat BodyBag and BodyBag PS look similar and share the same neoprene construction, but they are sized for different cameras. The standard BodyBag is designed for prosumer DSLR bodies without the optional body grip installed, while the BodyBag PS is made for point-and-shoot cameras. If you match the cover to your camera type, the choice is straightforward; if you try to cross over, the fit will likely be wrong.

Use the listed dimensions as a second check. The BodyBag also fits SLR bodies approximately 6" wide by 4.5" high by 3" deep. The BodyBag PS also fits point-and-shoot cameras approximately 4" wide by 2.5" high by 1" deep. Measure your camera without any grip or cage attached and compare those numbers before ordering.

BodyBag vs BodyBag PS at a glance

• BodyBag (standard): Designed for prosumer DSLR bodies without the optional body grip. Also fits SLR bodies around 6"w x 4.5"h x 3"d.
• BodyBag PS: Designed for point-and-shoot cameras. Also fits point-and-shoots around 4"w x 2.5"h x 1"d.
• Shared construction: Both are soft shock-absorbing neoprene covers with a Velcro closure, intended to protect against nicks, dings, scratches, dust and the elements.
• Color options: Both come in multiple colors; exact variant names differ slightly between the two products.

BodyBag fit evidence for DSLR bodies

• BodyBag®: Designed to fit prosumer bodies without the optional body grip installed, including Canon 10D through 80D, 5D series, 6D and 7D series, plus Nikon D100 through D800E and D7000. This list confirms the standard BodyBag targets larger DSLR bodies, so it is the right cover if your camera is on that list or matches the approximate dimensions.

  

• BodyBag®: Also fits SLR bodies approximately 6"w x 4.5"h x 3"d. If your camera is not named but falls near those dimensions, the BodyBag is the closer match than the smaller PS.

BodyBag PS fit evidence for point-and-shoots

• BodyBag® PS: Designed to fit point-and-shoot cameras like the Canon PowerShot S90, S95, S100, S110, S120 and Nikon CoolPix P300, P310, P330, P340. These are compact cameras, so the PS is the appropriate cover if your camera is a similar point-and-shoot rather than a DSLR.

  

• BodyBag® PS: Also fits point-and-shoot cameras approximately 4"w x 2.5"h x 1"d. Use these dimensions to check a compact camera that is not named in the list.

How to choose without guessing

Work through these checks in order. The goal is to confirm camera type first, then dimensions, then any accessories that change the shape.

1. 1. Identify your camera type: Is it a DSLR or a point-and-shoot? The BodyBag is built for prosumer DSLR bodies; the BodyBag PS is built for point-and-shoots.
2. 2. Check the named compatibility list: See whether your model appears in the supplied lists above. If it does, that is strong evidence for the matching cover.
3. 3. Measure if your model is not listed: Compare your camera's width, height and depth to the approximate dimensions for each cover. Choose the cover whose range your camera falls into.
4. 4. Remove the optional body grip before fitting the BodyBag: The standard BodyBag is designed for prosumer bodies without the optional body grip installed. If you normally leave a grip on, the fit is not confirmed by the supplied information.

What both covers protect against, and what they do not

Both the BodyBag and BodyBag PS use soft shock-absorbing neoprene to guard against nicks, dings and scratches from accidental impact. They also keep the camera free from dust and dirt and protect it from the elements. The Velcro closure makes storage and access quick, which is why both are described as useful for camera storage and travel.

These are covers, not hard cases. The supplied information does not describe crush protection, waterproofing ratings or padding thickness. If you need those guarantees, treat the BodyBag as a light protective layer rather than a substitute for a hard case. Also note that no care or washing instructions are included in the supplied records, so avoid assuming a specific cleaning method.

Color choice: practical notes

Both products offer a range of colors, but the exact variant names differ. The BodyBag lists Black, Forest Green, Realtree Max4, Realtree Max5, Realtree Snow, Digital Camo, Blue, Green, Pink and Purple, with a Yellow variant also shown. The BodyBag PS lists Black, Forest Green Camo, Realtree Max4, Realtree Max5, Realtree Snow, Digital Camo, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red and Yellow. If a specific color matters for your kit, check the variant list for the product you are ordering rather than assuming the same name applies to both.
