This bag was just what I was looking for. Nothing I found locally came close to its convenience and price. I've had it about a month. It is roomy enough for many additional camera items, such as the usual batteries and memory cards, lenses, etc., in addition to my keys and wallet. It has several adjustable interior compartments and outside pockets, substantial construction, and reasonably priced. The sling-bag strap is padded, very convenient and comfortable. I did make a slight alteration to the 2 additional waist security straps. In my opinion, in most normal activity & everyday situations, they were unnecessary and dangled with no way to tuck them away. As constructed they were not removable. I cut them off and sewed clips and D-rings so they could be taken off or added when additional secure fit was needed. Nice bag and I could find nothing locally to compare with it

Comfortable bag for hiking with camera and a few accessories. The extra straps confounded me, though I found they did help relieve some pressure on my back. They fell off mid-hike though, which makes me concerned about the durability. However, it serves its purpose for now and not expensive to replace if necessary.

great for storing a few lenses! easy to carry anywhere though the strap could have been designed to be a little more secure.

Honest reviews on Evecase Professional Digital SLR Sling Camera Bag / Case

I bought this as my "carry everything" bag and it so far fits the bill perfectly. In it I can fit: Sony Nex-6 with kit 15-50 lens, Tamron 35-70 MD zoom lens, Minolta 70-200 MD zoom lens, MD mount adapter, 2-piece macro extension kit, old Vivitar full-size flash, cleaning kit with full-size air bulb, 49mm filter kit (6 filters in pouch), extra lens rear caps and camera body cap, and 2 batteries + wall USB charger + wall direct charger (Wasabi) + USB cable. There is still room for 2 pancake lenses or one mid-zoom lens. The over-the-shoulder carrying position is comfortable and handy especially if you're hiking around all day. There is a small pocket on the shoulder strap (accessible when the main bag is on your back) into which you can fit a battery, a filter, and a memory card. When you need more, just sling the bag down in front of you and it sits level with the zippers on top. Very convenient. The larger external pocket is good for lens cloths and the manual and other flat-ish things, but it doesn't expand much. The only nits the zippers aren't the highest quality (but better than the $8 Zeikos bag I use for smaller outings) and I wish there were a couple of more external pockets. Maybe deduct 1/2 star for that. Overall I'm very happy with the bag.

This is a great bag. Love the adjustable dividers and pocket on the outside. Straps are not well secured--pulled away from bag and had to be repaired within the first week of travel. Would be better if it was more water-resistant/proof for hiking in rainy climates. Really, though, for the price, you can't beat it!

The item I received was scuffed, stained, and had a stuck zipper. This was supposed to be for my 4 year old daughter's Olympus TG-2 digital camera. The seller was kind enough to replace it but I've yet to receive it. It seems well constructed otherwise so as long as I don't get another defective one it should work well.

Thank goodness for this case! It took me awhile to find it most cases I came across were too small for the Canon Powershot SX230 HS Canon PowerShot SX230HS 12 MP Digital Camera with HS SYSTEM and DIGIC 4 Image Processor (Black). This is an absolute perfect fit. The case is nice and snug around the camera. I like that it has the caribiner attachment my case for my old camera had it and I always hung the case from my pants.

I was a little worried that the case was going to be small for my camera but it turned out fitting perfectly in the case. I also put a spare battery in the little pouch located inside the case and although it was a little snugger once zipped closed, it still fit nicely. The color of the case looks a little bluer on my computer but in real life it's a really pale blue, which in my opinion is a nice contrast against the black zipper. For the price, I think it's a good buy. Update: After about a month of having the case, the clip broke while I tried clipping it to my pants (and I hadn't handled it roughly at all). Sometimes I have a hard time zipping the case closed-the zipper doesn't run very smoothly. Besides these things, it still think it's a good case. My camera was in this case and it slipped out of my hands (a 3 foot drop) and luckily nothing happened to my camera.

Went on a 6-day rafting/camping trip with a Nikon digitial SLR so I wanted to store it away in something waterproof and sturdy so that it could take a few hits on the rapids and be fine. This Pelican 1300 served my purpose perfectly. I had only the kit lens, but for any kind of telephoto or bigger lens, you'll need a bigger Pelican case.

Honest reviews on Pelican 1300 Case with Foam for Camera - Orange

I would give this 5 stars, if not for the one flaw that this case does have. This case is rock solid and as advertised in terms of protecting your valuable products.

The Good:

I bought this to protect my $600 video camera and accessories on a cross country road trip in which we spent a lot of time outdoors in all the National Parks. The road trip was 12,000 miles and 8 weeks long and the pelican case absolutely did its job, not only protecting it from physical trauma, but also protecting it when left in the car in 95 degree heat.

A couple notable examples of the amazing protection were a hike 10 miles down into the Grand Canyon with a 3 night stay. The sand on the hike was like powder and got absolutely everywhere, except inside this case, the case also protected against the bangs and bumps that will be inevitable on that type of outdoor excursion. The other more tangible example was that I chucked the case with my $600 camera inside down a huge hill in Badlands National Park in South Dakota, and the camera didn't even flinch, it completely protected everything inside.

The Bad:

The one weak spot on this case is definitely the latches that snap down to close it (I will add a picture shortly so you can see exactly). It takes a good bit of pressure to snap the case closed, which is fine because it makes it very secure when closed, but it puts a lot of pressure on the thin spot on the latch, which eventually caused this latch to crack.

Luckily this was after the road trip was over and didn't compromise my equipment, but I called Pelican and they were very responsive and sent a pair of replacement latches right away and said it is pretty easy to replace yourself. It is definitely not easy to replace as the pin holding the latch on is embedded in the thick plastic so there is no way to unscrew with a wrench or needle nose pliers and even if it was sticking out a little bit, the pin is round so it is nearly impossible to get a solid grip on it. You definitely need specialty equipment to replace this, which I still haven't found 3 years later (granted I haven't needed the case as much since the road trip).

Conclusion:

All in all, the case is as advertised, all but bulletproof and I love it for that, unfortunately the rugged construction quality of the case makes it very difficult to replace the latches, hopefully I will have an update on how to replace them if I ever figure it out.

great quality. looks and feels durable. i'm yet to test it in actioin though. nice color. i use this for my canon 30d with 50mm lens attached with room for portable battery charger, a mini 3" tripod, a couple of spare batteries and an extra CF card. still haven't taken it out yet tho I only wish I bought one of these for my cameras back in 2006 when I started frequenting beach trips. There were a few occassions when I didn't bring my camera fearing the elements would mess up the electronics especially in salt water so I didn't get a chance to document some spectacular places we saw.

PS, I read a few people complain about their case being "too small" and penalizing the product's rating because of that which I think isn't fair--Pelican has many sizes available to fit a lot of different needs. We need to pay close attention to the case dimensions and consider the fact that you need atleast 0.5" padding for light items, 1" or more if heavier.

Buy it now coz the only regret you'll have is probably that you didn't buy it any sooner!

Sony LCJTHC/B Genuine Leather Jacket Case with Stylus for the DSC-T70 & DSC-T200
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This is a very well made case. It has top quality materials in construction. It feels quality in the hand and looks it too. I purchased it because of the fact that it stays attached to the camera and you don't have another thing to hold, set down, or lose. It comes with a nice stylus that is stored in a slit in the interior fabric in one of the inside bends of the case.

It is attached via a thumb screw that you can twist without need for a screwdriver. You can use a coin or similar item if it is too tight to turn by hand. It does have an edge as it is about the thickness of 3 quarters stacked up. The side is grooved to have a texture for your fingers to grab, but if you tightened it too tight you may need a coin to loosen.

It protects the camera well. The only exposed part of the camera is from the sides which are open. Dirt and other things can contact the camera thru the open ends of the case. Keys in a purse for instance could scratch the sides of your camera. Another feature that is why I only gave it four stars is the fact that once you have the case on, you have to bend it down below the camera to take pictures and have it out of the way. You can get used to it if have good hand coordination. I have been bending the first fold in the case which is right at the bottom of the camera to relax and loosen it. I image after is wears in, the case will simply hang down straight and not want to stay angled up toward the front of the camera anymore. The case is designed to attach at the bottom and fold up over the front of the camera, then the top side and down the back and then fold over the bottom and attach via magnetic closure. The magnet seems plenty strong to keep it closed.

I will keep this case even despite the two limitations I've found. I like the way it looks and stores. And the fact that it is quick to remove make it one of the best cases out there for me.

The beauty of this case over every other camera case in the market is that it has a magnetic flip design and remains attached to the camera. When paired with a DSC-T series camera (T90/T900/TX1/etc) this means the camera and case are slim enough for a guy to carry in their pocket. When you see a picture opportunity, boom, whip out the camera, flip open the case, slide down the lens cover, snap pic, return lens cover, flip close case, back in pocket and on your way again. It's super great. There is no fumbling with a case while you take your picture, it simply hangs out of the way.

The down side of the attached case/one handed operation is that yes you do have to unscrew the case to change a battery. Like once a day big deal. The people who complain about this are girls, who have the benefit of a purse to hold the camera case so don't like the inconvenience of this design. So don't give this case to a girl, do pair it up with a DSC-T camera for a guy.

It looks that Sony has dropped this case so buy extras now nobody will ever make this superior case again. It was a freak of nature that it ever made it to a product you and I could use.

I have used this case for 8 months and love it. and the DSC-TX1 I paired it with. I have a very active 7 year old and this was the first camera that I carry *everywhere* due to the superior slim camera and fast to use case. The pictures I have captured as a result are priceless. Before this I had a camera that stayed at home in a drawer, it was too big and cumbersome, missed so many wonderful memories.

i want to give this a 5 star because i love the case but it does lack some stuff an ideal case should have. a perfect 10 for aesthetic value, this case looks cool and elegant plus it serves its function in protecting the camera. the included stylus is also great when it comes to editing your picture. you dont have to take out the camera out of the cover to take pictures, which for me a very great feature that most camera case doesnt have. it is custom fit thus perfectly fit the camera size, not bulky even if you carry it on your pants pocket. You do have to unscrew the camera to take off the batteries and memory card which is the downside of this case. And also being not bulky has a price to pay, you'll have to carry all the extra batteries, memory cards, charger and others in a seperate case or daypack. All in all, i'd suggest anyone to get this case if you have the t200 or t70 camera, as it do a really good job protecting the camera at almost all time other than picture taking, and it is easy since yu dont have to take it out of the case to take pictures.

I would have given the case a 3.5 star rating but they don't do halfs. The case is nice because it's not bulky yet it still does a good job of protecting the camera. The magnetic flap makes it easy to get the camera out for pictures.

There are two down sides to the camera because it case screws into the bottom of the camera. 1: It's not very convienant to get the battery out for charging or the memory stick out to put into the computer. 2: Sometimes the case (since it is always attached unless unscrewed) when taking a vertical picture can get in the way.

I bought this for my Canon SD450. My friend has the SD450 and got the Canon PSC-90 case. The Canon case is a nice hard leather case that's pretty to look at, but doesn't have room for a memory card or extra battery. This Lowepro case is made out of neoprene (scuba -type material) and seems to provide a lot more cushion if you dropped it. That also allows it to stretch and would have fit my older/bigger SD300. It also has a pouch in front for an extra battery and a special slot designed specifically for an extra memory card. It also has a strap to attach to your belt (and it uses a velcro closure so you don't have to take your belt off to put it on). It comes with a neck strap, but you could just as easily attach a smaller strap or a carabiner to it.

Overall I think this is a fabulous case, especially given the price. It's not as pretty as the Canon case, but infinitely more functional.

I really love this case and it's hard to give it up, but it just isn't long enough for my Canon Powershot SX210. My camera has a 9:16 aspect ratio lcd which makes it just a little too long to be fully protected by this case, the velcro barely makes contact with itself when I try and close it. I'm posting this review only because I was referred to this case by another reviewer in the posts below my camera model here on amazon. It's truly sad that it does not fit, because I just hate zippers and leather and now I'm having a tough time finding a suitable alternative.

Best Deals for Lowepro D-Pods 10

This case is perfect for my SD550 or any similar sized camera. My camera fits snug and it's the least bulky case I've come across. One possible drawback however: Since it is optimized to be as slim as possible there is little room for an additional memory card and no room for an extra battery. This poses no problem for me as I only use this case to carry the camera in my pocket. All accessories are in my large camera bag.

The neoprene material provides nice protection for the camera and the LCD monitor. There are NO zippers to scratch the polished metal or LCD of your camera. The case opens with a velcro tab which holds the camera very securely.

One other case I would consider is the Canon PSC-55 which is slightly less bulky but does not provide, in my opinion, quite as good protection. I have both and use both depending on the amount of protection as the D-Pod 10. Both my dad and I own the PSC-55 and the Lowepro D-Pod 10. My dad prefers the PSC-55 because it is slightly less bulky and fits in his shirt pocket more easily. Me, I prefer the neoprene Lowpro D-Pod 10 pretty much ideal in my mind for this camera.

I also own the Rezo-10 which is a very tight fit. The camera does not fit into the Rezo-10 as well as D-Pod 10. I'd opt for the Lowepro D-Pod 10 over the other two cases.

This is a very nice case and reasonably priced.

I bought this for my Canon SD700. I was worried it would be too small but it fits perfectly. I like the fact it holds a spare battery and memory card. A bonus is that it has a belt loop secured with velcro so you can put it on or take it off without removing your belt. I haven't tried a drop test but it looks like it would help the camera survive a minor fall. It's much better in my opinion than the Canon bag. A friend at work has it and it won't hold a spare battery.

This is a well thought out bag. It will be fine, if you only carry what is truly nec. I found it after extensive research on review sites, and reading through forums. We love it, it is very strong and durable. No cheap zippers, only heavy well built material is included.

You can rearrange the dividers as needed, and it has numerous pouches for sd cards, batteries, and such. Also the built in weather cover is great, simple and functional.

Skip the backpacks and go with what is probably the last brand of bags that we will buy.

I bought this waist pack on the recommendation of blogger Ken Rockwell, whom I closely follow and generally agree with. However, I don't share Ken's passion for this case. It might be perfect for an advanced mirrorless kit, such as a Sony Nex 7 or Leica M, but it's too small for the DSLR I carry on hiking trips.

The manufacturer claims this case "carries one standard size DSLR plus 2-3 small zoom or prime lenses." Well, maybe, but not with the convenience I prefer.

I bought this case to carry a Canon 6D with a 28-135 mm zoom lens (mounted, with hood), a 100mm macro auxiliary lens (with hood), a small flash, cleaning supplies, and a few filters. I consider the 6D to be a "standard size DSLR." It's slightly smaller than a Canon 5D. Both lenses are what I consider to be small. Yet this equipment just barely fits in this case -and not in the ready-to-shoot configuration I need.

Four times out of five, the lens I want when I pull out my camera is my zoom. But this case is too small to comfortably carry my camera with the zoom installed. The main compartment just isn't deep enough. So I have to mount a smaller lens to the body and store my zoom separately. This means that four times out of five when using this case,I have to change lenses before I can get to work and reverse the process when I'm done.

Admittedly, against Ken's advice, I use rigid lens hoods, which are bulky and take up a lot of space when deployed. But even with the hoods reversed, my camera and just TWO lenses are a very tight fit in this case. Too tight for easy use.

Aside from the size, however, this is a great case. It's built like a tank (no pun intended) and has a lot of nice, practical features for working photographers. I just have to wonder what "standard DSLR" this case was designed for.

Its very hard to judge whether the depth of a camera bag will work out for "lens on" carrying without trying it. This one is fine for a nikon D600 plus a short telephoto (say 25-80) or non-pro primes of 200 mm or less. It could even take the 70-300. It was a couple inches short for the new 70-200 f4, either mounted or dismounted. I'm waiting to hear from thinktank of the speed freak will be more suitably sized for my needs.

The rest of the attributes of the bag are great, especially its ability to take more modulus components. It just was not quite sized right for me.

Honest reviews on Think Tank Speed Demon V2.0 Waist Pack

I thought "Carries one standard size DSLR plus 2-3 small zoom or prime lenses" implied a Nikon DSLR and at least one such lens but unless the lens is really small (and, therefore, one of the lesser quality models) this doesn't seem possible. A "zoom lens"? You're kidding! Well, again, it was my mistake to not research the meaning of "standard DSLR". This probably refers to a consumer camera and lens from Panasonic, Sony, etc.

Lowepro is known for quality camera bags, and this one is no exception. You can fit a lot of stuff into this bag, even though it's only medium sized. I have a Panasonic GS320 camcorder in the left compartment, 3 extra batteries and the charger for my still camera in the middle section (which I made very narrow using the velcro separators) and a Panasonic FZ35 still camera (sub-SLR superzoom, so still pretty big) in the right compartment. The two small pockets in the top inside hold multiple SDHC cards. The zipper pocket at that same location holds extra still camera batteries. The zipper compartment in the lid flap, accessible from the outside, holds 2 mini-DV tapes. The zipper compartment on the front of the bag holds 4 more mini-DV tapes. There are elastic pouches on both sides that hold water bottles, or cords, or miscellaneous other stuff. A flat zippered pocket on the back of the case is big enough for a full sized DVD, or anything else that is pretty flat.

If you need this for just a superzoom like the Canon 10IS or 20IS, or Panasonic FZ28 or FZ35, or similar sized camera, you'll have a lot of extra room. You might do better to size down to the 140 AW instead.

The handle is SO comfortable, even when the bag is heavy with gear. The shoulder strap is detachable and has a grippy, padded section. The zipper on the inside top of the case (where I keep my extra batteries) is covered with elastic at the corner, so as not to scratch your camera when you close the top, and there's a pull on the zipper so you can get to it when it's underneath there. Just one of many examples of very thoughtful design. The bag closes either with a zipper around the top or a strong clasp. I usually use just the clasp.

You will also find a hidden weather bag in a velcro'd compartment on the front of the bag, underneath-side. Haven't used that yet, but it's a nice feature if you're out in the rain.

This thing works for a DSLR as others have said, or as in my case, multiple cameras so that I'm ready for videos or stills wherever I am. I also have a small Lowepro Nova Micro AW bag when I only need one or the other of my cameras.

Note that the "Chestnut Brown" color really is brown, not the whacky greenish vomit color they picture on Amazon. I've posted a picture. Ü

This is a great bagfits my canon rebel and has room for an extra lens. I bought it for two reasons. One: it wasn't huge like most camera bags for larger cameras seem to be, and two: it has a covering attached to it that is waterproof so I don't have to worry about whether it will start to rain while I am in the middle of the woods. I have been wearing it daily for 3 mile hikes and it is fairly comfortable although it squeaks while I walk (haven't figured out how to get that to stop, but mustn't be too loud because I came up quite close to a deer the other day before he heard me). It fits my small stainless steel waterbottle in the side pocket and has enough little compartments for things you might need when using a larger camera.

My only complaint is I can't angle the camera in the bag so I can grab it out easily when I come across something I want to photograph. Just a minor thing like the squeakused to being able to reach in and grab it by the side grip and not have to flip it right side up.

All in all I hated to spend so much on a camera bag, but I think it was worth the cost.

Oh, I bought the chestnut brown which looks a bit green in the photoas other people have said it is a light tan/brown color not the green when you get it.

Couldn't be happier with this bag. The photo in the Amazon add makes it appear green, but it's really a very nice brown. anyway, it's good quality, holds everything I need (I'm a video producer for the Air Force, but not a photographer, so I'm limited on what I need for my home photo needs). So this holds my K2000, extra lens, flash unit and all the little things I need for it -SDHD cards, spare batteries, etc. This bag won't hold much more than that, but it holds this much very well. Haven't used the weather-protection cover yet. My son recently purchased a Canon camera as well, and I recommended going with a Lowepro bag.

I gave this as a gift to go with a new Panasonic DMC G2. The first bag we tried was a Kata KT DC-437, but that one was just a little too small for this camera along with the cords, lens hood, a flash and/or additional lens. This one holds all of that comfortably.

This bag looks and feels sturdy and well made. She's had other Lowepro bags over the years and never had any problems with them. The best thing for her is that it holds everything she needs it to hold, it's sturdy and well designed, and it's light weight. She got the camera because her Canon Rebel XSi and 18-200 lens were getting too heavy for her, so she needs a lighter weight bag to go with the smaller, lighter camera.

She wanted the brown bag and we both like the color. It's a nice medium brown color with some olive trim at the top. She liked the other brands of bags that have yellow interiors (Kata and Ape) so that the camera and equipment are easier to see, but this one has light gray inside, so visibility is fine.

A small difficulty is that the extra Panasonic battery doesn't fit comfortably into the designated pocket for the battery on the inside top of the bag, it's a little tight. That is not important however, since there is another zippered compartment behind the battery and memory card pockets. That extra compartment in the top of the bag was a huge selling point for her.

The bag could use two side pockets that close to hold more little gadgets instead of the mesh one that this bag has, but for its size, this bag has more pockets and storage compartments than any of the others she looked at.

This should be a 4 1/2 star bag, it's very nice, and well suited to her needs. She loves it, and she says she would recommend it.

I bought this for my mom's new digital camera, particularly to ensure that the camera didn't break and that there was somewhere to store any extra cards. This handy neoprene case does just that. It's simple and functional. My worry about leather, though it looks stylish, is will it be cushioned enough if the camera falls or gets bumped. Well, this case, because of the neoprene, will cushion any blows and ensure long life and use of your camera. Good purchase.

Even though it is soft, provides the perfect security for my camera. I bought it for a Kodak V1003 and it fits perfectly and have extra room for another battery and my card reader. It doesn't have space for chargers or any other type of cables but since that wasn't the goal of my purchase i'm giving it 5 stars, thought you should know anyway. :)

Mostly I like this case, but I do have a couple issues. First, since it was supposedly designed for small cameras like my Olympus 770SW, I don't understand why it isn't a little more form-fitting. I could have gotten a small universal case like this at any Target or Fred Meyer store-my camera practically swam in it. Second, the pockets in the front and back are open on top. At least one of the pockets should close-with velcro or a snap or something-to keep tiny things like memory cards from falling out. I also wish it had more than just a velcro flap to hold it closed. On the plus side, the neoprene is soft and cushiony, it has both a velcro belt-loop and a carrying handle, and is small enough to fit in a coat pocket. All in all it is a nice case, just not quite what I had hoped it would be.

Honest reviews on Olympus Neoprene Soft Digital Camera Case

This product fits my camera perfectly and is not at all bulky. A great safeguard from falls and the Velcro latch provides just enough security.

Though the little case is fine for what it is, Amazon touts it as a popular purchase for Olympus UZ 590 buyers. That's a real laugh, and misleading, as the camera case doesn't begin to fit that camera. It is a tiny case!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera case is basically for any camera smaller than an SLR. It is like a regular camera gadget bag only smaller. The internal dimensions are approximately 7 x 4 inches by 5 inches deep. Within that standard block-shaped space you can position two included dividers to create up to three cells to separate your camera and any other equipment you might care to carry along with you.

There are two dedicated memory pockets under the lid. The pocket in the front of the case should not be used to carry anything that is small enough to slip out or smooth enough to slide out, because the pocket cannot be sealed. Things are held in the front pocket by the lid flap. The strap has a nice anti-slip area, which is a nice touch. The case is made of quality material throughout.

A permanent strap "handle" is convenient for carrying it like a little suitcase and two permanent straps on either end can be used to clip things to (or whatever your imagination can come up with).

It's a nice, quality product. But...

I don't like a flap whose only practical use seems to be to help keep things in the front pocket. If you were to remove the flap and make the front pocket sealable, you'd have a better product in my opinion. In case you didn't know, the contents of this case are kept safe because the lid is zippered. The latchable flap is just an annoyance to me.

There's one other weird thing. I would have liked it much better if the shoulder/neck strap and the small permanent carry strap were located in the middle of the case, right over the center of gravity, rather than on the corner of the case. Unless you carry it in your hands, using one of the two straps will cause the case to be tilted. That's just weird and awkward to me.

I gave it four stars instead of three because the very features that I don't like may be useful to someone else. The material is tough and the design is simple. But the flap and the offset carrying straps bother me.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This camera bag is suited toward either smaller SLR cameras or camcorders. It is being marketed as a bag for 4/3rd's style SLR's, but it has many uses beyond that as well (my Nikon D50 and lens can fit). Overall, the construction and quality is nice, however, for the price I would have expected better design, ergonomics and storage options.

Pros:

-Good material construction

-Small & lightweight

-2 dividers than can be placed anywhere within the bag

-2 memory card pouches

-Buckles and zipper closure provide options

-Clean, sleek look

Cons:

-Interior bag fabric not bonded to the padding could come loose or stretched after repeated repositioning of the dividers

-Expensive for the small size and limited storage options

-No zippered/velcro pockets other than for memory cards.

-Poor carrying ergonomics the strap and handle are positioned off-center, and feels like the camera can fall out if the flap isn't zippered shut.

The exterior construction is nice, the top flap can be either zipped shut, or simply buckled. The watchout here is that the strap and handle are not placed well. If your camera is in the bag, but the bag isn't zipped or buckled, you may find the camera tumbling out as you pick up the bag. Additionally, with the buckles attached to the underside of the flap, they're hard to get to and limited in adjustment.

Two dividers, one full depth and one 1/2 depth, allow you to create up to 3 compartments inside the bag, or you can remove them completely. The dividers stick anywhere within the bag, not just in certain spots. This lets you fully customize the interior. If you often rearrange the dividers, be aware that as you pull them off the sides, it tends to stretch the interior fabric. Over time, I could see the fabric stretching out.

Removing all the dividers, I was able to fit my Nikon D50 camera with 15-105mm lens in the bag. Granted, nothing else would fit, but this does make it a suitable bag for entry-level DSLR owners your camera and lens will fit, but you just won't have extra room. That makes this bag nice when you only want to carry just a camera and its lens, and don't want to deal with a huge bag.

With only one general-use pocket, which cannot be secured, valuables like a tripod mount, battery, etc don't feel secure. I would've preferred the pocket to either zip shut or at least have a velco tab, especially with the way the bag flips forward when picked up by the handle or strap.

I'm honestly stuck between 3 and 4 stars on this one, but feel it fell short on overall value ($50 at the time of this review). It's a quality bag, but a bit pricey and could've had some better ergonomic and design options. A simple bag might be worth the cost if it's perfectly designed, but I don't think Lowepro hit the mark on this one.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program If you have upgraded yourself from just a point and shoot to and SLR and then have gone even further and upgraded your lens choice then this is the perfect walking bag for you. It fits snuggly on your shoulder and is perfect for activity trips, theme parks, and just about anywhere.

Honest reviews on Lowepro ILC Classic 100 Camera Case - Black

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The interior dimensions of this bag are approximately 7" x 4" x 5". It looks like a little lunch bag actually. It is well padded. I like that the padded separators are adjustable (with velcro). The position of the shoulder strap is kind of strange, located at the back of the bag. This is not a problem when I'm wearing the bag over my shoulders, but when I'm handling the bag it tends to tip forwards. A bit awkward, but I guess this will just take some getting used to. I like the small handle on the back of the bag. It has two small interior pockets for memory cards. Overall I would say that this is a good quality camera bag, but too expensive at the current price of just under fifty dollars.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have probably a half a dozen LowePro bags (the downside of having a photography hobby) and this bag is the first one that I thought was a bit of a disappointment. I like pockets on camera bags because there's no shortage of stuff you carry, from memory cards to misc cables.

Like all of the LowePro bags I have, they're built ruggedly very well padded and can handle some abuse. Something this small should feel like it should take some abuse. The camera fit a T2i with kit lens pretty snugly, but it's designed for those who went for the 4/3rds cameras. I'd even use this for a larger megazoom digital camera.

The price is what causes me some reservation. At $50, it's far more expensive than their other bags this size. I'd recommend something like the Lowepro Edit 100 Camcorder Bag (Black) or the Lowepro Adventura 170 Camera Case (Black) simply because if you've already bought a camera and an extra lens, you're on your way to spending more money on the camera for additional accessories.

This is a decent bag, but the price kills it.

Cheap Sony LCM-THA Carrying Case for the Cyber-shot DSC-T7 Digital Camera

I'd held off ording this case, waiting for someone else to review it, but since no one has, here goes:

The case is just the right size to fit the thin Sony T7 camera, and yet also quite protective. I'd expected it to be soft, but the sides are both firm and padded enough to really safeguard the camera. This is good, because our previous soft case tended to let the camera lens cover get pushed open and thereby run down the battery when not in use. There is also a good quality zipper to somewhat seal the case against dust and moisture.

My only quibble is that this case does not have a way to be fastened to a belt. But it's great for protecting the T7 in an auto glovebox, or in a bag.

This case is not just for the DSC-T7. I'm using it with the DSC-T5 which is a bit larger and it still fits perfectly. I was initially worried when ordering because I thought the inside of the case might be molded to fit the T7's slide down lens cover, but find that it doesn't. This case should probably fit any of Sony's T series cameras, but as i have only tried the T5 can't say absolutely. The case seems durable enough for me to keep in my purse with keys, phone, pens... and when I need to take a quick shot find that it's very easy and quick to unzip and get the camera out.

this case is nice and keeps the camera safe, but for such a thin camera i wish there was a thinner case available. the camera is thin enough to fit easily in a pants pocket, but the case makes it too thick. on the other hand, it's great for travel and all the times you don't want it in your pocket.

Nikon seems to enjoy deception in descriptions of it's products. This one makes two in a row that I encountered (the first being the camera itself). I appreciate companies that sell products honestly. I suppose deception is now the new norm in the world. What a shame.

On the plus side, it has a leather-like look and feel and the strap is an upgrade over the one that come with the camera (unless you prefer something more delicate and less substantial, than you won't need the heavier one that comes with this case). This perfectly fits my Nikon Wifi camera that isn't really wifi.
