I have had the Clover bag for a couple of years and she has accompanied me on many outings. I actually have a variety of camera bags for different purposes. I take the Canon backpack when I'm travelling and need to haul most of the camera equipment. I have another sling bag that has a waterproof cover when I'm out on a rainy day. I have a daypack that holds just the camera and my water bottle. But the Clover goes with me when I want to look a little more stylish, carry a variety of equipment, and not bring attention to the amount of valuable camera gear that I have with me.
The bag is large enough to hold my Canon EOS 5D Mark III (full frame) camera with 24-105mm L Lens, plus 2 other lenses, filters, extra cards, cords, charger, and extra battery. Or I can carry 2 cameras (5D and 7D), each with a lens attached, plus one extra lens.
There are 2 tall repositionable Velcro-tabbed dividers that separate the bag into 3 sections, and two smaller Velcro flaps to cover the tops of 2 of those dividers so that lenses are hidden and don't fall out if the bag tips over. Or you can use those smaller flaps to create more dividers in the main cavity of the bag (as is shown in the vendors photograph above). In addition to those 3 sections, there is a pocket that goes the length of the bag, and a zippered pocket inside the bag so that you can secure your wallet and any other small items such as lipstick, comb, keys. The whole interior is zipped shut with one sturdy zipper that goes the length of the bag, and once closed, no one will ever know that you have thousands of dollars of camera equipment in there.
There are pockets on the outside of each side of the bag one zippered for keys, cell phone, etc. and one open so you can quickly slide small objects into it. The removable shoulder strap is wide and well padded. The woven handles are sturdy and add a stylish flair to the bag. Clover comes with a fabric storage bag so that you can keep her dust and scuff free when not in use.
The Clover bag can serve as your purse and camera bag so that you don't have to carry both. If you have developed the habit of taking the camera everywhere, you can pretty much eliminate having to carry a purse most places. This is a beautiful and functional bag, designed by women photographers for women photographers. I always get compliments on how attractive the bag is, and people are surprised to discover that it is a camera bag !
I have posted several images of the interior and exterior pockets and the bag in use.

1. The hard shell seems sufficiently protective, and the inner lining seems sufficiently soft.
2. The case fits my Z2300, but rather snugly.
3. This snugness, while secure, means I don't feel confident storing anything else in the case. I would have liked to be able to keep a pack of paper and an extra memory card in there. As it is, I'm not confident the paper won't get bent.
All-in-all, adequate, but not stellar.

Discount Professional Camera Bag For Sony NEX-C3 Black
The case dosent fit Sony Nex C3, Quality is horrible and is not easy to use. I was about to drop my camera while trying to figure out how i can fit the case. Please do not buy this. Not worth for a single star. I am disappointed. If they refund my money i will give another star for that.

Discount Fujifilm FinePix X100 Leather Camera Case -Black
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $35.99
Sale Price: $17.79

This fits my x100 perfectly, and it appears to be real leather, not only from the feel and smell, but from a couple of the edges on the product, where you can see a bit of unblackened, fibrous leather. The case is stylish in a retro way, and nice and stout. Any x100 clad in this will be able to take some pretty significant bumps without showing a mark.
I have the JJC lens hood adapter on the front of my lens, and that, plus the lens cap, still fit inside this case. It'd be extra cool if they made one with a bit wider/longer lens front to accomodate the hood too, but that's probably way too much wishful thinking.
The included strap is also nice, but a bit longer than the original. If you sling around head and arm, that might be helpful. I usually hang the x100 just around my neck, and this is bouncing at belt height on me, and I'm 6'3".
Whether it will work better to take pictures this time around is yet to be seen.Fujifilm LC-X100 Leather Case for X100
One thing I didn't understand when I first put the camera in was why it was sitting so high up in the case, like it couldn't really completely sit into it. I noticed at the bottom of the case there's a little pad or something to keep the bottom protected, but with it in, the focus selection switch couldn't even meet up with the hole for it in the case. The bottom "pad" thing can be easily removed, it's just stuck in there with some mild glue, it's not even sewn in. I took it out and laid some thin felt down to cover the exposed cork or whatever it is and now the camera sits fully into the case and everything is right where it should be.
Overall I'm very happy with the craftsmanship, quality, and added protection and comfort this case adds to the camera.
I haven't seen the $100+ cases in person but this one looks really good. No one would imagine it's in the $30 range. Unless you can't live without the Fuji logo, buy this case.

I remember the days 50 or so years ago when the leather eveready case that came with the camera got in the way of taking photos so was discarded. But finding a useful and protective way to carry the X100 and preserve its quickness hasn't been that easy either. It doesn't exactly fit on a belt like a smaller point and shoot and it doesnt really need to go in a little soft shoulder bag like a micro 4/3 and a bunch of lenses. So when I saw this case I thought I'd try it. The price compared to what appears to be the same as Fujifilm offering (1/5 to 1/6)decided it. The quality is way better than expected. It certainly will protect the X100 in nostalgic style.Whether it will work better to take pictures this time around is yet to be seen.Fujifilm LC-X100 Leather Case for X100
Best Deals for Fujifilm FinePix X100 Leather Camera Case -Black
I've been wanting a case for my X100 since I got it last year, but there's no way I would pay what Fuji wants for it. I'd looked at a few alternatives, like the Rainbow Imaging leather case here on Amazon which is about $80-90 I believe. Still a little expensive. I didn't even know this case existed until I happened to come across someone recommending it on a forum. Because it's black I think it's even better looking than the official Fuji one (why would you put a brown case on a black and silver camera?). Upon receiving it I was very happy with the quality, it's very well made, forms to the camera well, and had a nice, rich leathery smell. I half expected it to be of a pleather material for this price, but it really feels like real leather. I have heard that it's just imitation leather, however. Fooled me. I never really cared for the top half of these half-cases, but it does fit over the camera as it should and protects it nice and snugly. I like that this one doesn't screw into the tripod hole at the bottom of the camera but but uses the little leather "arms" to wrap over the neck strap lugs just like the Fuji case. There's a Fujifilm logo on the part that covers the lens that doesn't appear in the picture, as well as an X100 logo on the top part of the case. There are no markings or logos on the inside half on the camera.One thing I didn't understand when I first put the camera in was why it was sitting so high up in the case, like it couldn't really completely sit into it. I noticed at the bottom of the case there's a little pad or something to keep the bottom protected, but with it in, the focus selection switch couldn't even meet up with the hole for it in the case.

Nite Ize GT32-2PK-12 32-Inch Gear Tie, Pink, 2-Pack Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $18.95
Sale Price: $7.47
Today's Bonus: 61% Off

Gear Tie Reusable Rubber Twist Ties from Nite Ize are perfect for temporarily wrapping up cords of appliances, computer equipment, or electronics (eg, headphones). And I do mean PERFECT! The flexibility is just right (flexible but firm) and the rubber coating is excellent... and there are some nice colors too.
I use them for tying up cords for my iPod headphones, rice maker, steam iron, computer cables, and about 100 other annoying electric cords found around the house. This is wonderful because the cords become neat little bundles that can easily be untied and used, and then tied up again, with ease. Cords of counterand desktop appliances no longer have cords hanging around. Headphone cables no longer become a tangled mess. Look around, I'll bet you can count 50 cords that could be tied up.
I say these ties are for temporary use because they are designed to be tied and untied, a million times or so. If you want to permanently tie your cords it's probably better, and surely cheaper, to use good old cable ties (sometimes called zip ties).
How about length? The 3 inch version is perfect for wrapping up iPod headphone or other VERY small cables. You'll be surprised how big (ie, circumference) a bundled cord can be so be careful with the 3 inch. This 6 inch version is just right for wrapping cords of coffee makers, lamps, and perhaps thinner vacuums and so forth. There's an 18 inch version that I've used in the garage for thick extension cords, cords from circular saws, and so forth.
I suppose the downsize is the cost. They are not dirt cheap. But for me the cost is dwarfed by the benefit.
I'm just so mad I didn't "invent" these!

I have not had them for a long time yet so I don't know about long term durability. So far though, I love them. I have several sizes and use them for all sorts of things. Even though they are called "gear ties" they can be used to prop things up and hold objects in a pinch. I use them as a sort of "extra hands" all the time. I've even propped up my phone or tablet on occasion. I've used them in my craft projects when I couldn't find anything else that would hold an item "just so" for me. Let's not forget though, they do work very well holding your gear together. I like that both bright and sober colors are available, depending upon what you need them for. I would not recommend them for cord control as they are just too expensive to get all that you need to do a good job. There are other products much more suited to that. Keep a couple with you. You won't be sorry.Best Deals for Nite Ize GT32-2PK-12 32-Inch Gear Tie, Pink, 2-Pack

MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $35.99
Today's Bonus: 28% Off

10/25/13 update: the company contacted me and is sending another case for me to try after the first one had the bottom screw mis-aligned. Well done on their part excellent, proactive customer service! The new case does work.
The case is very well made; the leather is thick and does not have the offensive smell that I expected for the case in this price range. The brass buttons and knob look great with the brown case. The knob fits snugly.
The half-case part does not have an opening for the battery/SD card door so you'll need to take it off to replace the battery or remove/insert the SD card.
The top/front cover is very solid and that's all I need to protect the camera when packing it in my backpack. It's soft enough on the outside to feel great on my hand but stiff enough (as in not flexing) so that the shutter button won't get pressed accidentally and drain the battery (the RX1 will drain the battery if you press the shutter button even when the camera is off).
The included strap is nice, I didn't think I would use it but I did. I was about to order the more popular $45 strap but decided against that after a few days of using the included strap. I am not very picky about the strap quality, I just don't want the OEM strap with all the letters on it.
How does it stacked up with the others:
1) Sony official case: I like the MegaGear case better for 2 things; the front grip pad and the leather extended around to cover the area above the Focus mode selection switch. IMO, I like the harder leather feel of MegaCase better also. I would pick the MegaCase over the Sony even if the Sony were priced the same.
2) Another famous $100+ case. This case has something that no one does, the ability to open the battery door and the best leather feel. However it also moved the tripod mount and has no bump on the front grip. The leather does not extend to cover the area above the focus mode selection switch. I also feel the case stops short on the right hand side, it does not come all the way to the strap mount. Strictly talking about the half case part, if the price were the same, I would pick the $100+ one just because of the battery door. At the end, the MegaGgear is the whole package and this one is not. Saving a few $$ is also nice.
There is another case that I didn't get to try, this one does not use the tripod mount to secure the case onto the camera (use the top straps, which may rub off the paint). It has a nice looking front grip pad (from the picture). Since I didn't have it, I can't say much about it. If you are looking for a case, give this one new one a try.
The RX1 will last me at least 3 years so getting a proper case is important to me more than saving a few buck. To me MegaGear delivered what I wanted.

Discount Attractive Mini Glove Camera Carrying Case for Sony Bloggie
I just bought this package because I thought it was for Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20, as the name of the product says. But it's not. The case is bigger and the screen protector too. I had to cut the protector with scissors to fit it right and it got very lame. I'm returning, they said they will refund.

I didn't buy this product for the exact same Sony Bloggie... I bought it for a G.E. Camera that I wanted to protect the camera. The camera is the same size but the cord is much bulkier. It's protecting the camera and that was my main reason for buying it but I really can't get the USB cord to fit comfortably inside the zipper section. I imagine buying it for what it was meant to be bought for the Sony Bloggie would be a perfect purchase and it would give the camera great protection. The rubber foam of the pouch does protect my G.E. Camera.Best Deals for Attractive Mini Glove Camera Carrying Case for Sony Bloggie

Reviews of Koolertron Women's men's Vintage Canvas Backpack With Top Handle
The only thing the photos don't show is that the bag has small magnetic circles for the two straps that are a real pain to get closed sometimes, although I'm getting a bit better at it. Other than that, I'm VERY impressed with this bag. It has the old-school canvas look, but the insides are soft, and there's a padded laptop slot.
Beware also that it's not waxy canvas or anything, so I wouldn't trust this bag to hold up against direct, prolonged rain.

This is an understated, attractive, protective camera case. It seems ideal to use as additional protection for an ultracompact camera in a handbag or backpack or possibly a large pocket. This case fits my Powershot SD880is exactly with no room at all for extra battery or memory card. It is sturdy and well-made and the magnetized snap on front seems to hold well. Additionally, the side panels are elasticized, so it holds the camera in place quite well it's not likely to come out unless you want it to. It has a belt loop and metal clip-on (removable) neck strap, but you could use the camera's own strap instead I think.

Buy Lowepro Pro Trekker 300 AW Camera Backpack (Mica/Black)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $329.99
Sale Price: $224.73
Today's Bonus: 32% Off

I have been through a few camera packs over the last several years. This one is for the adventurer/hiking/traveling semi-pro/professional photographer. There are a few things not in the description (even on Lowepro's site). The center tripod part has a pouch that unzips out and hangs underneath, which means fast draw of the tripod because you dont need to use straps. 6 memory card slots; 2 in side pocket, 4 inside large compartment, and each has a flap to tell which are empty and which are full. There is also a waterproof sack (removable) inside the side pocket for the water bladder to fit into, for extra isolation if the bladder should leak.
The adjustable should straps/harness is key with a pack your going to load some weight into. Solid zippers and straps. raincoat. Solid padding. Good amount of pockets. Top part comes off for a day pack (although I'll personally probably never use that feature). Comfortable padding.
I was looking at the 400AW but was just a bit to big. Typically I carry in this one: Canon 50D with battery grip, Canon Xti with battery grip. Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, Canon 28-135mm, Sigma 50 f/1.4, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro, Canon flash, Manfrotto CF tripod and head, about a dozen filters, shutter releases, misc items. So you see, it's a good size.
You may think the price is a bit high, but it's well warranted. I have had Lowepro backpacking packs for years, same technology, just built for your camera equipment.
Second, it holds the tripod very well in the sleeve on the front side and helps with load balance. The reservoir is definitely a plus, as are the straps on the underside of the pack which could hold a sleeping bag or tent/both maybe?
All in all it is very adjustable and places the load where it belongs, on your hips, not your shoulders and sits comfortably next to your back for a secure, stable fit.
I would recommend this to anyone serious about gear protection, load bearing comfort, durability, and well-looks, but hey, who are we trying to impress? Though I am partial to the light gray and black, as well as the rain cover being gray, which is more neutral and fade resistant.
Here is a direct link if you'd like more specifics: .
The only problem I have with the bag (and my reason for the 4/5 star rating) is that the term "Airline Carryon Compatible" is slightly misleading. Yes, the bag will fit through the magnetometer scanners at the airport and is within carryon size guidelines, but when this thing is full of stuff you can expect to have some trouble on the actual airplane. I also carry a saxophone which I stow overhead and my aim was to put the bag at my feet under the seat in front of me (as is policy). If you have anything in the side pockets of the bag, it is not likely to fit under that seat. Even after I emptied them it was still pretty tricky to shove this bad boy in there. It took up most of my foot space for an 8 hour flight. Stowing it up top COULD be an option for some of you, but it has some pretty serious straps and it may be just as difficult to stow in an overhead. If that's your goal, make sure you'll be traveling on a larger plane (it had no chance on a lake jumper from Chicago to Detroit). You don't want to risk having to check it!
There is little I need to say about the quality of this bag that the other positive reviewers haven't already pointed out -Lowepro makes smart, durable products and this one can fit a TON of stuff and take a beating. The materials are top-notch and there is no worry that your equipment isn't protected to the fullest. Also, I imagine taking this on a long hike to your nature hide would be a really comfortable experience. Just beware if you're buying it to do a lot of flying and maybe opt for one of Lowepro's rollers instead: Lowepro Pro Roller x100 Camera Bag (Black)
My recent trip I carried in this pack , Nikon D800E with battery pack, Nikon D200 With Battery pack, Nikon 24-70mm f2.8, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, Nikor 18-135mm, 8 Filters, Chargers for both cameras, manfroto tripod, Water bladder, Cleaning supplies, 6 CF cards, Alienware laptop (although it was a tight fit in the sleeve). With all this I still had room for at least 3 more lens.
This pack will be with me for some time to come.

There are a few things not in the description (even on Lowepro's site). The center tripod part has a pouch that unzips out and hangs underneath, which means fast draw of the tripod because you dont need to use straps. 6 memory card slots; 2 in side pocket, 4 inside large compartment, and each has a flap to tell which are empty and which are full. There is also a waterproof sack (removable) inside the side pocket for the water bladder to fit into, for extra isolation if the bladder should leak.
The adjustable should straps/harness is key with a pack your going to load some weight into. Solid zippers and straps. raincoat. Solid padding. Good amount of pockets. Top part comes off for a day pack (although I'll personally probably never use that feature). Comfortable padding.
I was looking at the 400AW but was just a bit to big. Typically I carry in this one: Canon 50D with battery grip, Canon Xti with battery grip. Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, Canon 28-135mm, Sigma 50 f/1.4, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro, Canon flash, Manfrotto CF tripod and head, about a dozen filters, shutter releases, misc items. So you see, it's a good size.
You may think the price is a bit high, but it's well warranted. I have had Lowepro backpacking packs for years, same technology, just built for your camera equipment.

First, the main compartment has more lens inserts than I have lenses, so by removing a few of them I was able to create more room for other misc items. I was initially dissuaded from buying this pack because it just appeared to hold camera equipment and that was all, but since I now own it I can say that it has enough room for a full day excursion/or an overnighter in hinterland.Second, it holds the tripod very well in the sleeve on the front side and helps with load balance. The reservoir is definitely a plus, as are the straps on the underside of the pack which could hold a sleeping bag or tent/both maybe?
All in all it is very adjustable and places the load where it belongs, on your hips, not your shoulders and sits comfortably next to your back for a secure, stable fit.
I would recommend this to anyone serious about gear protection, load bearing comfort, durability, and well-looks, but hey, who are we trying to impress? Though I am partial to the light gray and black, as well as the rain cover being gray, which is more neutral and fade resistant.

I am a saxophonist who works in the cruise industry and my interest in photography has grown significantly during my time abroad. Like another reviewer said, I don't have quite enough lenses/bodies to completely fill this bag, but I bought it to aid the schlepping of my whole life around every six months or so when I come home. The capacity truly is great in addition to my laptop, one dSLR body, three lenses, a 430EXII, several filters, a rocket air blaster, etc I was also able to fit my two external hard drives, WD Live Hub, and other miscellaneous electronics in the main compartment. I then wore the bag while traveling all day through several airports and it is seriously comfortable when you take the time to adjust it to your body.The only problem I have with the bag (and my reason for the 4/5 star rating) is that the term "Airline Carryon Compatible" is slightly misleading. Yes, the bag will fit through the magnetometer scanners at the airport and is within carryon size guidelines, but when this thing is full of stuff you can expect to have some trouble on the actual airplane. I also carry a saxophone which I stow overhead and my aim was to put the bag at my feet under the seat in front of me (as is policy). If you have anything in the side pockets of the bag, it is not likely to fit under that seat. Even after I emptied them it was still pretty tricky to shove this bad boy in there. It took up most of my foot space for an 8 hour flight. Stowing it up top COULD be an option for some of you, but it has some pretty serious straps and it may be just as difficult to stow in an overhead. If that's your goal, make sure you'll be traveling on a larger plane (it had no chance on a lake jumper from Chicago to Detroit). You don't want to risk having to check it!
There is little I need to say about the quality of this bag that the other positive reviewers haven't already pointed out -Lowepro makes smart, durable products and this one can fit a TON of stuff and take a beating. The materials are top-notch and there is no worry that your equipment isn't protected to the fullest. Also, I imagine taking this on a long hike to your nature hide would be a really comfortable experience. Just beware if you're buying it to do a lot of flying and maybe opt for one of Lowepro's rollers instead: Lowepro Pro Roller x100 Camera Bag (Black)
Honest reviews on Lowepro Pro Trekker 300 AW Camera Backpack (Mica/Black)
Great pack. This pack is built with the serious photographer in mind. There is ample room for multiple camera bodies and lenses. The ability to keep a large lens on a camera is great. I got this pack because I had just bought the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 for my collection. Upon putting it in my old pack I realized I had out grown my old pack. This was one of the replacements I was looking at. I ran into another photographer in the field and got a chance to look at one, (I no longer have a shop to go to in town). I relized this pack would fit my needs for some time to come. The main compartment is deep enough to put pro cameras in, this includes pro-Sumer bodies with battery packs on them the like the D800E. The movable dividers are great for setting up the pack to fit your needs . Each outside pocket has a tripod sleave. There are 6 storage sleves for memory cards and plenty of srotage pockets. The right side pocket is where the water bladder will go if you chose to buy one ( would be nice if they would include one). I got one and it is a great additiion to the pack, I no longer have to figure out where to carry water. The top will come off to use as a hip pack though I doubt I will ever use this feature. But there is plenty of room in there for miss. stuff and even a hook to keep your car keys on. This pack is also built with good strong material and the water resistant zipper on the main compartment is a great addition. The rain fly for this pack is kept on the bottom in its own pocket and is great in rainy weather. It has an elastic band all the way around to keep it in place and two straps to tighten it up if need be.My recent trip I carried in this pack , Nikon D800E with battery pack, Nikon D200 With Battery pack, Nikon 24-70mm f2.8, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, Nikor 18-135mm, 8 Filters, Chargers for both cameras, manfroto tripod, Water bladder, Cleaning supplies, 6 CF cards, Alienware laptop (although it was a tight fit in the sleeve). With all this I still had room for at least 3 more lens.
This pack will be with me for some time to come.

I love this backpack. I'm small and all the other backpacks I've had when loaded with camera equipment have hurt my back after about 20 minutes. With this one I can pack more equipment (plus it comes with a really handy water bladder pouch) and I can walk for hours without my back hurting. I love the functionality. Plenty of pouches for spare lenses and it also holds my tripod. I would highly recommend watching the video on how to adjust the backpack so that it fits you personally. My husband helped me with that as he's a stickler for that type of thing. I have to admit it makes a great difference. The wide waist band is really comfortable and sits just on top of your hips. My husband has the larger version of this same backpack.Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Discount Pendax Optio Digital Camera Case + Screen Protector Kit (Eva Green)
This product is advertized as a Pentax Optio Camera case. It is too small for the Pentax Optio RZ18. To exchange was a real nightmare!!! Would never purchase from this company again. Company has no idea what customer service means. Product is a generic case of fair quality, but could have purchase something very similar locally at same price.Nice and sturdy. It has a double zipper which is nice so that I could use it with the camera strap.
