A few of my comments with be in comparison with the Sony LCS-HE which housed my Sony HX1 and prompted my continuing with the Sony hard case for my Sony HX100v. Overall this is a great case. The most notable changes from its predecessor are the following: The extra battery is now held inside the case and not separate, there is also room for a spare memory card inside the case, rather than opening from the front of the case and lifted up toward the back of the case it now opens from the back toward the front of the case, and now rather than t magnet Velcro is used to keep the case closed. Overall I feel the changes are good. The change in opening direction allows the case to be left open easier is you are carying it over your shoulder or attached to your belt. One dislike is the Velcro. The magnet seemed to work just fin, and on occasion the Velcro doesn't "grab" enough and opens, this won't be a problem if it is attached to a belt, but over my neck results in the camera coming out of the case, and if the case isn't snapped on to the camera strap the camera case just falls.

The "Sony LCS-HG Soft Carrying Case" is just half the product I was looking for.

It surely keeps your camera protected. It adds the possibility of carrying an extra battery and a second memory card. And that's it.

It's not soft, it's not confortable to use it, it makes difficult to take the camera out, it makes unconfortable to keep the camera up and focusing, and once again, it makes putting the camera inside difficult. In conclusion: you end up unsure if it's better to use it or throw it away .

Why?? Remember the old days when taking the camera out and ready to use was just a matter of releasing some kind of lock, the front of the case just dropped and you were ready?? Half the shell was securely attached to your camera, you just had half the weight of the bag/pouch/case hanging right below the camera?? Well, not in this case!! You'll have to take the camera completely out. You don't have anywhere to leave the case: you'll have it all hanging from the strap, thanks (¿?) to a velcro attached lace. Oh, that will be after you manage to slide the strap trough that lace. And then you'll end up with the heavy case, plus the memory and the battery hanging as a death weight from your camera. Want to put the camera out?? Put it inside the case... wait, first slide the shoulder strap through the lace.. not an easy task, as it gets messy...

You want something strong to keep the camera protected until you arrive to your photographic destination, you can get one of these. You want something practical, fast to take off, easy to put the camera away??? Get something else!!

Case was tight and velcro often did not catch completely. Was surprised that it only would fit on a belt and did not have provision for shoulder straps. It is awkward to wear on a belt because of it's size. Because there was no provision for a neck strap or handle for carrying, I returned it and got a slightly larger case that held more, had a neck strap and handle, and costs less to boot.

Honest reviews on Sony LCS-HG Soft Carrying Case (Black)

Just like it looks. Nothing special. Its kind of awkward to have attached to a separate hand strap. The strap that comes with the camera can be threaded through this case in a way that allows you to just let the case hang from the camera when taking a picture. I haven't tried putting it on my belt, mainly because I'm not a 65 year old woman.

Very nice solid case, but when it's time to use the camera, have to lay this down somewhere since it's detached from the camera, or leave it flopping around on your neck strap. My wife got a Case Logic DCB-304 High Zoom Camera Case for her Nikon P520. Very nice and light and has two zipped compartments on the sides...wish I would have purchased that one.
