Reviews of Panasonic DMWSFZ8 Nylon Case for DMCFZ8

Customer Ratings:

Well, this case does have room for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K, but I don't get why oh why it does not come with a shoulder strap? It is a huge case and it only comes with a belt hole? Oh come on!

I don't see myself carrying this case with my camera inside on my belt!

The quality of the bag was good but the size was too small for our use with a DMC-FZ28. We wanted a smaller bag but couldn't exclude the battery charger. This bag will only allow an extra battery and lens cover. If they would have provided a charger slot and a top strap the 1 star would become a 5 star. As it was it became a return item.

This looks like an okay case, well-constructed and with a nice extra inside pocket for a battery or extra SD card. My only beef, now that I've got the actual item in my hands, is that the belt loop is too small.

If this were a LowePro bag (which I now wish I'd looked into before making this purchase), the belt loop would be wide enough for the kind of hip belt you find on a fanny pack. The loop on this bag is only wide enough for a maximum 2-inch-wide belt (though going past 1.5" would be pushing it).

It'll clip to the chest strap of a backpack just fine, but I'm disappointed that it won't work with my butt-pack. Also, there are loops to rig a shoulder strap, as another reviewer mentioned, but the loops have snaps that can very easily un-snap, so good luck with that. I wouldn't trust 'em.

Honest reviews on Panasonic DMWSFZ8 Nylon Case for DMCFZ8

This is just the camera case I was hoping to find. I wanted a small case that I could wear on my waist belt and that would carry only the essentials (the camera, shoulder strap, lens hood, extra battery, maybe in an extra filter). It is a bit big to wear but it works (the real problem is the camera is a bit big to wear on the hip). The case holds the FZ28 facing down, the hood removed and facing up, the camera strap, and one extra battery. There is still room for another battery and an extra memory card if desired. If you are looking for a big case to store lots of camera stuff, this is not it. For me, the size is perfect. The purchase price was low, and the quality and construction are great. This is a solid value. I have no idea how they can sell the DMW-CZS7 camera case for more than five times what I paid for this case. You can buy some cameras for the price of the DMW-CZS7 case.

Regarding some of the other reviewer's comments, one reviewer wrote they even got the charger and USB cable in the bag--I have no idea how they did that because the case is not that big. The charger and USB cable can stay behind; I don't need to carry those when I am out taking pictures. The belt loop easily supports my widest belt of 1 1/4 inches. If your waist belt is wider than that, you probably need to modernize your wardrobe. I agree with another reviewer who wrote that the two snap loops are just for attaching the case to the camera strap if desired; in other words, it is not a good idea to purchase your own case strap and attach it to these two snap loops.

I added some images of the back and inside of the camera case. Check them out.

I decided to buy this case despite reading the previous review. I have the DMC-F228 camera and was looking for a case that would fit my camera snugly, as I didn't want to carry around a huge bag. This bag does the job just fine. The case fits my charger, USB lead, wide angle lens and camera well. In order to carry the case, you simply use the strap attached to your camera and loop it around the provided clips on the case a separate strap on the case is not necessary. I like it!
