Nice Bag - But a Tight Fit (a6000/a6300 Details)
I purchased the Mountainsmith Kit Cube Micro Bag in 2015 and I have used it in variety of different bags since then. During that time I made the transition from Canon to Sony. Below are my thoughts on the bag itself, and then some more detailed notes about capacity, specifically regarding the a6000/a6300.Pros:-I love the flexibility of carrying some of my camera gear in a backpack or messenger bag, while leaving the big, purpose-built camera bag at home. The Micro Cube is small enough to fit into just about any school bag, daypack, or even a large purse.-The two velcro dividers allow me to customize the (limited) available space.-The padded compartment can be removed from the roll-top liner. So if I'm using a bag that is unlikely to get upended, I can leave the liner at home and more easily access the camera.-I have not tested the water resistance of the Micro Cube Bag (if I'm worried about weather, I use a rain fly on my backpack), but the roll-top does snugly hold the contents of the bag.Cons:-The padding is thin. I have used the bag for a couple years now and none of my gear has sustained any damage. However, the dividers and surrounding foam padding is thinner than in my dedicated LowePro bag, and I am not fully confident in the bag's ability to prevent damage given a direct blow or a drop of more than a couple feet.-Size (see "Capacity" notes below). I did not deduct any stars, given the product's dimensions are accurately listed. However, I will be purchasing a new insert for an upcoming trip, and I am looking for something significantly larger.Capacity (a6000/a6300):-I've found that I can carry two basic configurations with a Sony a6000/a6300 body:1. The camera body with a small mounted lens (Sony 16-50mm, or Sony 20mm), as well as an unmounted ~3" lens (Sigma 30mm, or Rokinon 12mm). This is a tight squeeze and leaves very little room for any additional gear.2. The camera body with a mounted 3-4" lens. This configuration leaves ample room for batteries, or other small bits of gear, but doesn't really allow for secure storage of another lens of any size.

So close...
So close... it can hold my micro 4/3 camera, telephoto, and one or two batteries, but not the macro rings and certainly no minitripod type thing or battery charger. If mountainsmith had a cube that had another half or whole one of these tacked on (I know, it would be a rectangle) that would be perfect for me.

Great for travel and throwing in a backpack.
Perfectly fits my Sony a6000, extra lens, and two batteries. I use this all the time when I travel and can't use my camera backpack. It definitely protects your camera. I have dropped it on accident and my camera and lens were fine inside. The customizable inserts inside are very handy.

I wouldn't be comfortable traveling with a camera that could suffer a potential ...
Unfortunately it was too tight of a fit for my Fujifilm X T-20 with the stock lens. Aside from that the main issue was that taking the camera out was incredibly hard because of the water resistant pouch the inserts where in. This made the camera inaccessible and a pain to lug around. Also, the padding was way too rigid and thin. I wouldn't be comfortable traveling with a camera that could suffer a potential fall.3 stars because, not it's fault my camera was too big.

Nice to make any bag a camera bag
best for mirrorless cameras and small DSLR...was just hoping it would fit my D750...it does though but only the body. 😊

A Great Option
This is fantastic. I bought it so that I could carry my Canon SL1 in my favorite backpack instead of having to resort to my camera bag. It's fantastic, made well, and protects the camera nicely.

Good Quality Miniamalist Bag
A good quality, minimalist, bag. Fit my Samsung NX-M with lens adapter and lens as well as the charger and the standard prime 9 lens. Really good bag. Small enough to throw in any pack.

Fits Hybrid Cameras
Perfect fit for my Fujifilm S8200, but with zero room to spare.

Great, I would get the bigger one Next time
Great, I would get the bigger one Next time. I ordered the small one because they had the wrong image on ad. Great for a backpack.
