Discount Precision Design 2000 Digital SLR Camera System Case

Customer Ratings:

This case is not something I would take out in the field, but for storing my gear at home, it is great. I like that the compartments are deep and you can move the little velcro separator-things around to fit your stuff. I have several small prime lenses and none of them have their own cases, so I stack them with one of the small separator-things in between lenses. I also like that there are several little pockets on the inside and outside which is great for keeping filters, extra batteries, etc. I have a smaller bag that I use when I go out with my camera, but this one suits my intended usage just fine. And--bonus!--it's really cheap (as in price, not quality)!!!

I purchased this DSLR as, 1) I prefer the SLR format, something I am used to and, 2) I have had a lot of experience using an older Pentax SLR. Even though the older unit was film format (the basic K1000 model), it served me very well for over 20 years with no problems, easy use, and excellent photos. The older SLR camera was used all over the world from cold climes of eastern Europe's mountain tops to the sultry/humid jungles along the Amazon River. It took the trips and use well in such environments and performed wonderfully. So I was pre-disposed to Pentax at the outset. I did several comparisons to the other brands and even though I have a large Nikon SLR now, I went with this Pentax DSLR for a variety of reasons. Among these were the crystal clear screen and the extensive menu of available functions to utilize with it. To date I have obtained wonderfully crisp and clear photos in situations ranging from early dawn to sunsets, landscapes to kids, and the places I have taken it are not what one would call "forgiving" for sensitive photo-systems. In short, this baby performs. I chose the 28mm to 80mm zoom along with a 150mm additional lens. Good choices for me as all have performed very well and when interfaced with my laptop, touch-ups and edits are a breeze! Believe me, I have recieved many "oooh's" and "ahhh's" with my photos from this. But the camera does not do all the work. One needs to have a grasp on the basic elements of photography in order to achieve the desired product. The point of this review is to define that the camera has all the features that, when properly used, give whatever one may wish to obtain. One main warning: learn to use the manual until you are familiar with the levels of controls available in the on-board menu. They are extensive, ranging from simple point and click photos to making videos (battery draining, for sure). In addition, a hand-held remote shutter control is cheap and great to have at times. So I recommend the camera system, available here on Amazon at a very competitive price. In fact, best prices and availability. The camera? Really good, very functional, tough and durable as I have taken it into some rough, hot/humid and extremely cold envrionments, and it kept on working just great. Is it as beautiful to look at as the Nikons or even Canons? No. But it will do about whatever those models can and at a much more affordable price. I give it a "4 star" rating as it simply is not the most deluxe model one could obtain. But it is a worker and its photos are tremendous in the right hands. Great Photos for All! Daryl
