Hey, I have the Pelican 1300 case for my camera. It fits the camera grip, the camera, lens, extra battery, hood (snugly) and extra card if necessary. If your bro is planning on buying another lens, don't get him the 1300, the next one up or two up would be excellent. I tie mine onto the top of my kayak and go! Fabulous cases! Excellent birthday present!!
Cheers,
Simon
