The bag has a good quality and is meticulously crafted. The zips run easily. In the front compartment loosely fit two spare batteries and an extra memory card. Unfortunately, the bag for my camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ-41) is a bit too small. The zipper can be concluded only with effort, when the camera is in the bag. Too bad.
The unpleasant smell, have described the other reviewers did not notice me.
