Nikon Top Loader Holster SLR Camera Case with Multi Compartments Review

Customer Ratings:

The product is just like the one in the picture. But he said it would fit a D7000 with a 18-105mm, but I don't think it fits so well. I can close the bag, but it's not so smooth as it should be, I guess. I think the camera body is a bit wide for this bag and the top edges won't let it fit so well

This camera holder is too small for the Nikon D5100 camera body and cannot accommodate a larger lense, such as a 200mm zoom lense.

Best Deals for Nikon Top Loader Holster SLR Camera Case with Multi Compartments

I purchased this camera case after trying other 'compact' cases to hold my Nikon DS5100 DSLR. I wanted as small a case as possible to use day-to-day with my camera that allowed me to carry the camera and my most critical items while traveling. I had been reluctant to move from my point-and-shoot digital to the DSLR format due to the bulk of the camera and related equipment. Although this case is many times larger than my former belt-mounted case and, with the DSLR in it, many times heavier, I believe that the picture quality compensates for this added bulk. That said, my former trials of compact cases ended up being either too bulky, poorly made, or more of a 'sock' to cover the camera. This case seems to be the best compromise so far.

The case is about as compact as I could get and fit my DS5100 with Nikon 18-105 lens (with cap/filter) inside. It just barely makes it. Good news is that this tighter fit means that the camera is pretty much fixed in place when the unit is closed. The lens points downward towards the bottom of the case, so there is some risk of damage if the case i dropped. I'm not sure any smaller case would be much better, but I will be careful. Here are my Pluses and Minuses so far:

PLUS

+ compact size and rounded shape doesn't look as imposing as other cases

+ quality of construction appears to be be very well made of high quality material

+ easy to open/close although tight fit with my camera arrangement

+ light weight despite reasonable padding, this case is very light

+ reasonable price very good price point for quality

+ nicely padded especially on the back that would rest against your body (w/ventilated fabric)

+ Several pockets for carrying smaller items (see below)

MINUS

Just a smidgen too small would be a much better fit if just a 1/2" bigger top-to-bottom and around the middle.

Interior storage pockets only would be nice to have one or two small pockets on outside (easy to access)

Padding at the bottom of the camera compartment is a bit thinner than ideal. Seems OK overall, but would be potential issue if the case fell with the bottom front hitting the floor first. I may add some padding fitted to my lens to better support the kit and protect it.

Interior pocket design makes it harder to get larger (my camera) kit into the product. Rigid panel dividing the camera area from storage area tends to waste space. I will probably cut out this panel and accept the fewer number of storage pockets. Not a great loss as I probably can't fit much of anything in there anyway and still close it around the camera.

Further to above -case holds my camera with 18-105 lens, an SD-USB reader, and some SD cards, and not much else. One item that I wanted in the case, but won't fit is the battery charger. I will have to leave that 'at home' along with my lens hood, in order to live in this case.

NOTE if you have a DS3100 or similar, you probably will fit much better in this case.

BOTTOM LINE: While not perfect, this case should make carrying/using my DSLR much more convenient. Not quite as easy as my former point-and-shoot, but easily workable.
