But that one 'nearly' is almost a show stopper.
I bought this for my Nikon P510, which is one of the big point & shoots available. Almost DSLR-sized. I hadn't been able to find a good bag for it over the last several months so it wasn't getting carried much. This looked like a good bet (even though nobody, even jill-e, has pictures of the interior) so I sprung for it.
It is technically too deep for this camera, but I can pad the bottom to help with that. The interior organization is good (two velcroed pockets on the underside of the lid, a slip pocket under the front flap, a slip pocket across the back, and two interior side pockets that are created with fabric-covered pieces of foam and Velcro. I got all my gear organized in it nicely, and then I tried to close the front 'snap' thing.
Well, that's the dealbreaker. The thing requires a lot of force to get through the hole in the tab, and you can't press too hard because you risk damaging the camera inside! I eventually managed to slip my hand under the flap and down into the front slip pocket so I could create some resistance when I pushed the snap through the tab. This was a huge nuisance. I may return this and get a more vanilla case. I can't imagine going through this every time I want to close the case.
Note: the picture in this listing is not quite the same as the bag I received. On the lower of the two leather tabs on the front, mine had a slit, and mounted to the camera bag body was a silver stud which was designed to be pressed through the slit in the leather tab. I tried it eight or nine times, trying to get accustomed to it (or, trying to get the slit to loosen up a bit), but it was still difficult after a while, so I sent it back.
