I bought this case to go with my new Panasonic Lumix SZ1 16.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom (Blue), and it fits just perfectly. The Amazon listing for my camera gives the dimensions as 3.9" x 0.9" x 2.4", while this listing gives the dimensions as 3.4" x 1.3" x 5", and really, there is more than plenty of room for the camera and a couple of accessories inside of this pouch, even though the whole thing is not much bigger than a deck of cards. The other shell is sturdy, but not hard -enough to make me think that if I accidentally dropped it while standing up and holding it in my hands, that the camera would probably survive the impact. It's not so rigid that I'm willing to drop my new camera on purpose to test that theory out, though. Also, because it's made of a sort of dense fabric material, I would expect it to be water resistant, but not waterproof. That is, the case seems like it would protect my camera in a light to medium rain or if it fell into a shallow puddle for just a moment, but it does not seem like it would hold up to full immersion in water or very heavy rains for more than a very short time. Of course, any extra protection is better than just dropping the un-cased camera on the ground or in a puddle, and I love that it has a little pouch inside to let you carry a backup SD card and/or USB cable along for the ride. I also like that it comes with a lanyard so that you can wear your camera around your neck or wrist when you carry it along. Overall, a great little case!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I couldn't fit even my smallest point and shoot camera into this case. It is REALLY small.

What you also can't tell from the picture is that the case has metal hinges, so there is no way for it to stretch around a camera that's even a little bit too big. The plus side is that if you have a small enough camera, the metal lining (kind of like an open-sided box) makes it sort of a cross between a hard and a soft case so that it probably offers extra protection over a purely soft one. However, if the hinges break, it feels like the case wouldn't be much use.

Personally not to my taste even if size weren't an issue, but when it comes to a semi-hard case, it turns out that size matters.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera case is a good fit for my point and shoot camera. It affords good protection for the camera screen and is sturdy enough to give the camera good protection against bumps and knocks, perfect for traveling. The fit is rather snug, but it's big enough get the camera in with little effort. There is a pocket inside the case for an extra memory card.

Not bad looking, and affords good protection for the camera.

Honest reviews on Case Logic ECC-101 Point and Shoot Camera Case (Amaranth)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Aesthetically this is Case Logic's nicer looking cases and feels durable. It fits the Flip MinoHD camera perfectly. If you have a slim camera, this will be a nice case for it. However, I was also able to fit my fat and old Canon PowerShot SD800IS into this too.

It has two zippers and a mesh pocket inside. Unfortunately, there is no belt strap for this case.

If you're looking for something that looks nice, simple, not bulky, and feels durable, then this is worth checking out. It fits a Canon S100 perfectly.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have been looking for a case like this for quite some time now one that fits my point-and-shoot camera snuggly, protecting it from hard bumps and bruises, yet not making the whole affair so bulky that I rather take my chances most of the time and take the camera with me without the case.

The camera I am speaking of is the Sony HX7V, which is admittedly a somewhat small camera for a 10x zoomer.

At first glance, I thought never, ever will this camera fit in the case. But it does. Fits like a second skin, actually.

I do not need all those extra pockets for batteries (for anything that might require more shots than one battery can handle, it would probably be prudent to carry a DSLR anyway ...), additional SD-cards (one 16 GB card in the camera should suffice for most shooting days ...), energy bars, or GPS units. What I need is a plain and simple protective case for my camera.

Yes, the ECC-101 also has a built-in mesh pocket inside the case, which could be useful to store some emergency money, or a few business cards. But I really don't need that.

The ECC-101 appears to be well made and I can attest to the protective prowess of its shell, which handles normal, not too rough handling very well.

It has two zippers which is a bit of overkill to me one should have done with this very small case. It comes with a strap, which I immediately discarded. I am using the camera strap to carry the whole ensemble, instead. And here, the two zippers make some sense they allow me to put the camera strap through to the outside.

All in all, I am very glad to have this case. But before you go and buy it, please check if your camera fits within the envelope given by the HX7V (101.6mm x 57.6mm x 28.6mm); because of the very snug fit with the ECC-101, even a slight deviation from this envelope would probably result in a non-fit situation.
