I have a Canon 500D with the standard 18-55mm kit lens and want the smallest possible bag. Crumpler describes the Jimmy Bo 300 as suitable for an SLR with a short lens. Does the 18-55mm kit lens count as a short lens, and is this bag likely to fit the camera securely with decent protection?

One of the product shots actually uses a Canon body:
the kit lens is also one of the shortest in the current product line (the only one that is physically smaller that I can think of is the 50/1.8; so I would expect it to fit. Of course, it is always worth visiting your local friendly retailer if you're unsure about ordering online.

Yes, it’s likely to fit. The Canon 18-55mm kit lens is one of Canon’s shorter DSLR lenses, so it generally qualifies as a “short lens” for a compact SLR bag like the Crumpler Jimmy Bo 300. One of the product photos also appears to show a Canon body, which supports that expectation. If you want to be certain before buying, the safest option is to try the camera in the bag at a local retailer and check that it closes properly and holds the camera snugly enough for protection.
