I spend a lot of time and effort whenever I select a new camera, whether it's a DSLR, digital video camera or a point and shoot. I also spend quite a bit of time when selecting a case for that camera. The wrong case can be not only frustrating but it can also be dangerous for your new device.
Lowepro is a great brand and they offer a wide selection of cases and bags. I hope that this video review gives you a better idea of what this little case has to offer. Thanks!

After reading all the reviews, decided to go ahead and get this for my new Panny Lumix DMC-ZS3. Was NOT disappointed. The camera fit perfectly; not too tight, not too loose. Somehow, I can't help but imagine that the [recommended / suggested] Rezo 30 would have been a tad too small. So if you have the ZS3, don't hesitate getting this thinking it may be too roomy. It's not. (Bag is actually smaller than I thought it would be.) Shoulder strap is nice, but with the belt loop, I'll probably carry it that way at least 98% of the time.
As for whether there's room for a spare battery (or memory card) no problem. There are three pockets total: One small zipper pocket ON the closure flap (the smallest), one under the velcro-secured flap, and the zipper pocket in back (for the camera). Both the outer pocket and inner pocket have adequate room for the battery (the inner one could probably hold two). If you're looking to carry cables also, you'll have to get something bigger. You could put the USB cable in the inner pocket, and the battery in the outer there's certainly enough room, but my guess is it would make the overall pouch a bit bulky. Personally, I'd rather not; I prefer the slimmer look. If you're going on vacation or a long trip, get a bigger bag so you can take all the goodies with you. But for day trips, this is perfect.
Best Deals for Lowepro Ridge 30 Camera Case (Black)
Just got the the Lowepro Ridge 30 for my panasonic DMC-ZS3. It fits nicely with a spacious pocket once you lift open the velcro flap. I tried the lowepro ridge 20 first and the camera actually fit inside like a glove with the wrist strap tucked in but I wanted something with a little more slack. The material is pretty nice and seems durable. Considering it's about $10-$13, you can't really complain. I would recommend this for a DMC-ZS3/ZS1 camera.
Honest reviews on Lowepro Ridge 30 Camera Case (Black)
I have purchased several Lowepro products and have never been disappointed. When I need a small case/pouch, this is the brand I look at first. The Ridge 30 is well-made, sturdy and looks nice, too (just like the picture). The only caveat is to make sure that the dimensions are right for whatever you plan to store in it, and err on the side of buying a size too large. Things tend to fit quite snugly in these cases. For the price, you can't beat it.

I was looking for a camera case that would fit my new ZS20 and some extra batteries. This case is te right size for my camera. It actually is a little bigger, but that is fine because it is easy to get the camera in and out. It also has a pocket on the front that fits and estra SD card and a pocket onder the flap that fits two extra batteries. The only thing I wish it had was two sippers because on my other camera case I would leave the small strap on the camera hanging out and sip it up on both sides so I can carry it with the small camera strap. That is jsut something that I liked about my other camera case that I didn't know was something I wanted in a case till I got this one with only one Zipper. Either way this case is nice and fits well and I will just have to stuff the strap on the camera in the case to zip it up.
