Best Genuine real COW leather case bag cover for Nikon P7700 P-7700 Deals

Customer Ratings:

This item was at least twice the cost of the other leather cases for the Nikon P7700 I saw offered on Amazon. However, reviews on those other items had mixed reviews about quality.

To me, it was worth the extra cost to enhance the appearance of the camera (which I also like a lot). The leather is top grade & the workmanship is first class. My modern camera now has a classic look and feel.

The top flap of the case can be easily removed completely with a coin that unscrews the brass attachment on the base. The bottom leather cradle stays in place & provides a comfortable grip.

I was not disappointed by this purchase & I'm glad I paid the extra amount for quality. This review is NOT a paid advertisement... I just appreciate when a product lives up to my expectations.

Best Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black Deals

Customer Ratings:

This holster fits a D200 with 18-200mm lens perfectly. Some other reviewers have complained that the case is too big, but with a higher quality DSLR and a medium length telephoto this bag really shines. The front pocket holds plenty of CF cards and spare batteries. There is a little pocket on the underside of the lid which is perfect for holding filters and polarizers when not attached to your camera.

I use this bag clipped to the shoulder straps of my Arc Teryx Bora 80 backpack. In my setup I have the bag hanging across my chest just below my sternum. During a trip across Glacier National Park (51lbs pack, 6 nights) the case always had my D200 ready. I typically leave the top flap zipped a couple inches on each side to keep the camera secure. Even while crossing rough terrain, scrambling over scree and kick stepping across snow fields this bag left little to be desired. It hangs steady and does not bounce too much.

If you are looking for something to hold your camera while out backpacking I don't know of any better solutions out there.

I just chose the Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 for my new Nikon D50. It has a shoulder strap, belt loops, handle, top opens toward you instead of away, inside pocket, front pocket and it is just the right size (length and width)for the D50. The depth is a little more than the 18-55 lens needs but just right for the 18-200 zoom, that I plan to get soon, which is 0.9 inch longer.

Be sure to check out the Topload Zoom Chest Harness that works with this case.

PS: I have been using the Lowepro TLZ Mini (same features but smaller size) with another camera for three years and am very satisfied with it.

You can certainly fit a D80 (D50, D40) plus the 18-200mm VR lens into this it has about the right length, a little to spare for filters. However, it's quite a bit wider and taller than is necessary. It's really quite a big bag for an SLR holster. I can't see what the extra space is for, unless you have an older generation DSLR with a bigger body. The camera is reasonably located inside, so it shouldn't flop around too much, but if you're looking for something snug and neat, this isn't it.

If you have a shorter lens (like the kit lenses, then go for the Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini, but with the 18-200 lens the Mini is about half an inch too shallow otherwise it would be ideal, and much, much smaller than the Zoom 1.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black

I bought this bag based on another reviewer's write up. The reviewer mentioned that that this Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag was a perfect fit for the Nikon D-50.

The reviewer was absolutely correct. This bag easily holds my Nikon D-50 with the 18-200mm zoom lens attached (with some room to spare). The inside padding is adjustable for your particular camera and lens. I found there also is room for my 72mm filters, memory cards, and a spare battery. This is a great carry around day bag, I would probably opt to take this bag on vacation too because of its condensed size. It has a belt loop and shoulder strap for more carrying options.

I often go for long walks around town with my Nikon D40 camera with 18-200 zoom lens attached.

Review of Think Tank Photo Logistics Manager 30 Inch High Volume Rolling

Customer Ratings:

Love this bag our studio dedicated it to a NIKON CLS system we went all "McNally" for small editorial portrait shoots. This roller by ThinkTank is like all ThinkTank products well designed, engineered and constructed. It is big think of it as an Airport Security on steroids. I was a tester for the original Airport Security before it became a roller and I own a fair amount of ThinkTank bags and rollers.

PRO: well designed, solid, many options for layouts.

CON: It is heavy, but will take abuse from airline gorillas and second assistants.

Review of Fujifilm X100s Leather Case for Camera (Brown)

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $129.99

I really bought this for the half case, with the thought that I'd use the top half to protect the camera in a bag/suitcase during travel. As a half case, it's awesome. Some thoughts:

The leather and craftsmanship is much nicer than I expected. In the pictures, the leather looks sort of flat like vinyl, but it's actually pretty nice, thick leather with very even stitching and a good liner. Not much of a distinct grain, but for a mass-produced case, that's not surprising.

Some reviews say that there is no access to the battery/SD card, however mine has a snugly closing snap-flap that opens on the bottom to permit access, so I'm guessing they received an older model? The box mine came in says "X100 or X100s", I'd be curious if theirs just said "X100"?

Fit is wonderful. Very snug and secure....just as one would hope from the OEM.

I haven't used the included neck strap yet because I think the one that came with the camera is just fine, but hey...it's included if you want it (although no new snap-rings or protectors...just the strap, so you'll have to use the old ones that came with the camera).

It is true, that with an adapter ring and a filter, the top is a snug fit. I have the JJC adapter ring and a thin UV filter mounted, and the top flap closes just barely (forget about a lens cap). It would be a better fit without the filter (there'd be just enough room for the adapter ring). So if you absolutely need a full enclosure case, AND an adapter ring, AND a filter, AND a lens cap, look elsewhere. But, if you are really looking for a nice half case with the option of the top half to occasionally stow the camera in a bag, I think this will work just fine.

True, it has no tripod mount, but frankly, if you do a lot of work with a tripod (macro, landscape, etc), then chances are that you bought a different camera. For me, the case allows the camera to sit flatly and very stably on a surface for the occasional group picture, and that's good enough for me.

One oddity. On most "ever-ready cases" that I've had on vintage cameras, the top flips/folds over the front of the camera and hangs down while taking a picture. On this camera, the top half flips/folds over the back of the camera (towards the photographer)...which means it's a little more in the way when taking a picture. Again...for anyone who needs to always use the top half, this may be a problem, but for someone looking for a half case with the option for occasional greater protection, it's fine.

This is a nice case with a "retro Leica" feel. The upper "flap" has a magnetic clasp, and can be completely removed if you just want to use the camera with the lower section and the neck strap.

Note that the upper section will NOT be able to fit over the camera if you have the LX-X100 lens hood and adapter ring installed on your X100/X100S.

Pros:

High quality and good fit.

Protects whole body (especially rear screen) when in bag.

Handy flap on bottom that allows fast access to battery and SD card.

Cons:

Lacks character. Leather and stitching is dyed a very generic shade of dark brown.

Won't fit on camera with the Fuji adapter ring.

A bit expensive (although a better fit than the cheaper leather cases out there)

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $34.99
Sale Price: $19.99
Today's Bonus: 43% Off

I purchased this bag for the Canon S2 IS. (Normally, that camera would be a bit small for such a bag. However, I've added a converter that makes the camera too big for most other digicam bags.) The interior is large and roomy and made from a soft and (apparently) scratch-free fabric. There are no compartments within that interior. However, since it is designed for an oversized point and shoot, film SLR or smallish DSLR (e.g. Canon Digital Rebel) that's probably a good thing. If you place the camera in LCD side down, it should fit with a reasonable size lens attached. On the exterior sides, there are no pockets just rings for the adjustable and comfortably long shoulder strap that is included. On the back of the back is a large loop attachable by Velcro that can be strapped to a belt or larger bag. In the front is an accordion-style pocket with two smaller cargo-style pockets inside. Those smaller pockets are just large enough for a CF card to fit snugly inside. It's a top-loading bag whose top covers both that exterior pocket and the interior. It closes with a clasp not a zipper.

I experienced some problems that caused me to buy an additional bag. First, if you aren't careful when closing the top, it may bunch leaving the sides of the interior compartment slightly exposed. (I noticed this when a loose SD card fell out one of the sides.) Second, the exterior pocket is too small to hold the accessories I had, i.e. two filters, two SD cards, an external flash and four extra AA batteries. If you can stick to keeping only the camera (and an attached lens or converter) in the interior pocket and have very few extras in the outer pocket, this would make a good travel bag. If you have several loose accessories as I did, try a zippered bag with lots of outer pockets.

This TLZ 10 camera bag is a perfect fit for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-45 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS Lens (Black) as well as for the older Minolta A2 and A200 cameras. It is probably a bit short for the Panasonic DMC-GH1 12MP Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera with 1080p HD Video due to the longer 14-140mm lens that ships with the GH1.

The TLZ 10 bag is smaller than the Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini Camera Bag (Black). In addition, it has two pouches inside the front pocket that conveniently hold extra batteries and memory cards. The TLZ Mini lacks these pouches but does have a somewhat larger front pocket than the TLZ 10.

I purchased this bag as a minimal bag for my Nikon D50 with a short prime lens on it (either a 35mm f/2 or 50mm f/1.8). While I was a little worried that the D50 would be too big, it just fits (along with a Lowepro strap), thanks to the stretchiness of the bag's material. I use this bag when I'm going somewhere and I know I don't need any other accessories; just the camera and a single lens. I think the D50 is about the largest DSLR that could fit in this bag. I think the newer low end (D60, D40, D5000, D3000, etc) Nikon DSLRs would fit better, as they're a little smaller. Anything larger than a D50 would be either too tall or too wide to fit in the bag lens-down. Also, when being used with a Nikon DSLR, a short prime lens is about all you can fit in here. Even the 18-55mm makes things a little tight. I also don't use the front pocket, since I wouldn't be comfortable putting anything in there given how tight the fit is already.

This bag is just what I was looking for, taking into account that I was expecting just a simple bag for just the camera and attached lens that can easily attach it to my belt (or onto a bigger Lowepro bag, although all my bigger bags have a spot for the camera as well). I also like that it has the SlipLock attaching strap rather than a belt loop; I always feel a little funny getting out of the car and taking off my belt just to put a camera bag on it. With this bag, the velcro strap makes it easy to get on and off, and it's very secure. While I haven't used it, the included shoulder strap seems nice. I was impressed that the attachment loops on the bag and the clips on the strap are made out of metal, instead of plastic. Better quality than I expected for a $17 bag.

The only thing that would have been nice would have been an AW cover, but since this is a lower end bag, it's not surprising that it doesn't. The material has done well to keep misting-type rain out when I've run into some light precipitation.

All in all, a good bag for a small DSLR as long as you expect a tight fit and don't want to carry all of your accessories in it.

Just like most of Lowepro bags, it's very professionally made.

I have several underwater cameras and almost always prefer to have this type of silicone case to help with the grip. This case for the Canon D10 is decent. Here are my thoughts:

PROS

Fits well; very snug (a good thing) except for the bottom

Has cutouts for every opening so you never have to remove the case

Protects 90% of the camera from scratches

Provides adequate improved grip

CONS

In order to allow free access to the memory card and battery, the case does not really cover the bottom -I have to be really careful when setting the camera down if I don't want scratches

As with any silicone case, it's hard to slide in and out of pockets

Even though you don't have to remove the case, you still should to clean and soak the camera after use. Due to the shape of the camera, this case is harder than others to put on and take off.

OVERALL

Decent case overall and would buy again if necessary. Too bad it took Amazon over 30 days to ship this.

The original plastic packaging on the actual camera was torn and taped. The silicone case was dirty, like it was stepped on in the warehouse. Nobody likes to receive something brand new, looking like that, but after a little soap and water everything was fine. It fit the camera without problems and provides another layer of protection. We submerged it in the sink to see how the water drained. There are plenty of openings in the case, where buttons, sight areas, handle attachments, etc. are located so the water had numerous escape routes, although a little moisture is trapped between the silicone and the camera itself. Nothing problematic though.

Review of Kelly Moore Boy Bag, Shoulder Style Small Camera Bag - Mustard

Customer Ratings:

I bought this bag as gift to my wife despite fact that bag is named as "boy bag". She is wedding photographer and this bag is big enough to carry hers D800 and necessary lenses and equipment with her during whole day.

A man will miss small comparments (pockets) where memory cards, mobile or other small stuff could be stored (not messy way:)). But it could be solved by another additional storage boxes. Overall, adjustability of main storage area of this bag is very good.

For lady there is no claim. Photobags for ladys' photographers should have visual impact too (in first place)! ;) And this bag fullfill this 100%. Tested on subjects of photo sessions: "where did you get this bag?"

Price tag was quite high (additonaly 'cause of customs charged for delivery to Europe, Slovakia), but quality of this bag is worth of this investment.

If you are looking for something fancy and still very functional, big enough, you can't be wrong with this bag (not only for carrying you photo equipment, but laptop and documents too).

I recommend to check video presentation directly on product home page (kelly moore) to get more feeling what this bag looks like.

Lowepro Rezo 20 (Slate Grey) Review

Customer Ratings:

I own this case in black and just bought this gray/black for another camera. I always look to Lowepro when I want durable and quality case for my cameras or video cams. They never fail. I've used Lowepro through the years (since the late 90's) and the quality has continued to stay excellent and the prices are definitely fair. I feel like you get a lot for your money with Lowepro.

The Rezo 20 fits my Fujifilm Finepix F70EXR 10MP Super CCD Digital Camera with 10x Optical Triple Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD perfectly and has two storage spaces. Lifting the velcro flap will lead you to the front section which extends out slightly to hold memory cards or cloths or flatter items. The larger section where the camera is held is accessed through a zipper at the side. The zipper is very durable and contains two pulls which is a nice extra feature. There is neoprene on the side of the case. On the back there is a attachment to wear the case on your belt. This belt attachmenet is fastened by velcro and a snap. One of those little extra touches that Lowepro is great for. It also comes with a durable shoulder strap and fasteners.

If I were to mention one downside of this case it is that every time I open the velcro flap, I think that I am getting access to the actual camera compartment (as many cases would function this way). With this case, not so. The main camera compartment is completely separate from anything this flap has to do with and is accessed through a zipper. This feels a little different from most of our cell phone cases or what not so it takes a little getting used to.

Still, 5 stars and GREAT for the money. Great in looks, function and price.

Cheap Olympus Fitted Camera Case for XZ-1 - Black

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $10.62
Today's Bonus: 79% Off

I don't like this case, even though it does look like what I ordered. Problems:

1) It doesn't have a neck strap or hooks where you could elect to attach a neck strap of your own. Its short loop on one side is apparently so you can attach it to the neck strap on the camera itsef but that's not a practical solution; the camera case hangs down over/under/right next to the camera itself in that case, so you can't get to the camera in order to hold it properly (unless you have a third hand to hold the case out of the way).

2) It's too stiff, so stiff that the top flap that covers the front of the camera is hard to hold up to get the TIGHTLY FITTING camera out of what is a slightly too small case. (the camera is just shy of sitting all the way on the bottom of the case.) It's too hard to get the camera out of this case.

3) While you'd expect tight-fitting leather to take up scant room, the materials used in stiffening the leather also take up room, so there's more stuff surrounding the camera than you can imagine from the picture. I wanted something really minimal for fitting the camera into a pocket book but this camera case takes up too much room to work that way.

4) With all the space taken up, you'd think there might be a tiny space somewhere to fit an extra battery. There isn't.

5) No way I could use the camera still inside this case, regardless of prexisting settings or only needing to hit the shooting button. The too-stiff camera flap won't stay up and out of the front of the camera where the lens is.

There might not be a case available for this Olympus XZ-1 that functions just as I'd like, but I'm going to return this one and hope for something better.

I love this case. It is nice and stiff, which is what I wanted, because I wanted a case that would protect my XZ-1 from bumps when it's jostling around in my backpack. The leather is substantial and well stitched. The design is simple and elegant. It doesn't come with a strap, in case anyone is wondering (I think maybe the camera did come with a strap; I forget, because I never used it if it did). It has a nice magnetic connector at the bottom that snaps into place so you don't have to press it closed. The inside is lined with a soft lint-free fuzz. The case feels great in your hands. It adds some bulk to the camera of course, but this camera is hardly pocketable unless you have cargo pant pockets or something like that, and this case would fit just fine into those.

You can shoot with the camera in the case in a pinch, but the case doesn't really feel designed for this. It blocks access to the main settings area (this could be a plus, preventing stray button presses) and to the screen. If your settings are OK you could shoot without taking it out, but normally I put the case away and shoot with only the camera in my hand.

I took off one star because if I were to design this case, there is one thing I would do to make it better. I would give it a bit more something to protect the camera from dust. This case has a fairly open design, with gaps at the sides of the top flap, and small openings in the bottom corners, so dust could come and go if you were foolish enough to expose your camera to dust. The inner lining will help in this respect somewhat, because it will trap most dust, but still it would be nice to see some cloth shrouding or lining that did something to close the gaps. However, that isn't really the main purpose of this case; the main purpose is to protect from bumps. And as such it does a great job.

UPDATE: It might protect from minor bumps, but I can report it does not protect the camera from getting SMASHED. I had my camera in my backpack and something happened that resulted in the camera getting smashed while it was in this case. I don't know when it happened. The backpack didn't get run over by a car or anything. It could have been placed on the wrong side of the pack under a heavy computer, or it might have fallen off the rear seat of the car when I had to brake hard, or something like that. The case did not help. The camera was completely ruined.. Lens smashed in, lens ring (ISO adjustment) unturnable, case smashed in on bottom and top, lens cap broken, tip of lens broken off and embedded into lens cap... fortunately I had a MACK warranty which covers abuse, even smashing, and they repaired the camera by replacing virtually every part (except the body)... They even replaced the sensor and the back screen, for some reason, although I didn't think the sensor could have been damaged, and the screen looked fine. Long story short, this case didn't help that much from a big bump.

This wasn't a cheap bargain case, but I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. It is, as described, designed to fit the Olympus XZ-1. I tried an inexpensive generic digicam case but it wasn't a good fit for the camera. The XZ-1 has a removable lens cover that could be easily dislodged if the camera were carried unprotected in a bag or backpack. Buying this camera was such a splurge for me that I cringe at the thought of damaging the lens.

This case appears to be well-made, and fits the camera nicely. As another reviewer pointed out, it won't keep dust out, but it protects against bumps and scratches. And keeps the lens cover in place. There's a snap-fastening fabric loop on one side of the case that can be attached to a camera strap, so that when the camera's pulled out of the case the case will just dangle. But I don't use it. I'm used to pulling a point-and-shoot camera totally out of a carry case when in use so that's no big deal for me with this camera and case.

Honest reviews on Olympus Fitted Camera Case for XZ-1 - Black

As of now, this case is clocking in at one-quarter of the price of the camera. For a while, Amazon was selling the same case for less than five dollars. And that one came bundled with a 4Gb card. In truth, that's all this case was ever worth.

Buyer beware of the price, lack of features, and availability of better cases for less.

You know you want, it and non-OEM cases are never quite right. Runs 10% of the cost of the camera, which is high, but worthwhile considering the (lack of good) alternatives. 4 stars for being $20 too expensive.
