Cheap Kata Kata DPS Digital Case DC-437

Kata KT DC-437 Digital Case
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I just purchased a Nikon D3200 and was looking for a small camera bag and a camera backpack. The small camera bag is to protect the camera and one or two lens for traveling in the car, etc. and a camera backpack for photo day hikes and traveling. I purchased a few other bags as well as a few sling packs and finally settled on the Kata brand for both items.

The DC 437 is a small size bag, strong comfortable handle, good zippers and zipper pulls, well padded and light weight. My camera fits perfectly with one medium length lens attached and one other lens or a flash unit stored. The interior pockets are fine for extra batteries and memory cards. The padded dividers give you plenty of choices to arrange your gear. Having designed and made leather bags for decades my only change would be to give the two outside pockets a gusset for some width to make them a bit more functional. Everyone's needs are different. This bag is working out fine for protecting my camera with minimal amount of equipment without being obtrusive or looking like a camera bag. Highly recommend.

I like the bag, it's well made. The yellow color inside is nice. However, I have a D40 with the 55-200mm lense and 18-55mm lense and this big is just barely big enough to camera and lenses in there. Otherwise, it's good.

Honest reviews on Kata Kata DPS Digital Case DC-437

Nice quality bag for a bridge camera or a micro-four-thirds camera like the G1, GH1, etc. It is quite small, though. I ended up taking out the two dividers and using the included rain cover for padding between my Panasonic G1 and extra lens. I also put two filters in the main compartment, and some extra SD cards in one of the two pockets on the inside top flap. Plenty of room in the two end pockets for cleaning cloths/lens pen, remote, and other accessories. I only gave it four stars because the shoulder strap, though well made, is not very comfortable; the shoulder pad is awkward, and the strap is not quite long enough for me (though it is as long as most).

This strap is pretty nice and isn't a huge brand call out like the Canon or Nikon straps that typically come with your camera.

I have a Canon 5D and this strap is good on it. I like that it is longer, so you can actually put a shoulder through instead of having it hang on your neck. My camera gets heavy, so this strap is great when you are trekking around with the camera slung to your side.

The cushion for your neck is good, I just hope the material lasts through sweat and wear (seems to be a feltish material with air bubbles inside for cushion)

Honest reviews on Skooba / RoadWired Skooba Superbungee Camera/Binocular Strap

very comfortable once it is around your neck. the bungee action does reduce bouncing around and wear and tear on the neck. the other reviewer is right that the thin ends of it tend to get tangled up when the strap is stored, which can cost you a few seconds. I was not too sure about how sturdy those thin straps would work, but so far so good.

I have used this strap for trips to europe, mexico, japan and singapore and like it enough that I have not had any incentive to look for something better.

I bought this thinking that it would take some of the pressure of my neck from the weight of the camera(Canon Rebel XSI,Extra Battery pack, 24-105mm L Lens). It does help with the comfort around my neck, but it seems to get tangled more and in the way then the orginal camera strap that it came with. The cords that come down from the neck strap get twisted all the time. It's just ok!

Canon PSC-900 Deluxe Leather Case Review

Canon PSC-900 Deluxe Leather Case
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
After buying the fantastic new Canon S90, I tried a few generic camera bags, but due to the slightly protruding lens of the S90, all cases were either unnecessarily bulky or too tight a fit.

This case is designed exclusively for the S90 and cleverly makes space for the lens by using a cut-out in the inner case. The camera slots in neatly without any pressure on sensitive parts, yet is snug enough that it won't rattle around.

All leather looks and feels to be excellent quality, and the interior is super-soft suede that won't scratch your beloved S90.

Another reviewer pointed out the lack of additional space for memory cards & batteries. I think Canon chose the best compromise between bulkiness and practicality with the prices of 16/32GB SDHC cards nowadays, you shouldn't ever need more than one memory card for any outing... and another battery would just make it too bulky. My only minor complaint is that I have to undo my belt to mount the case.

I don't like my cameras to be unprotected. Whether its my DSLR or my brand new Canon PowerShot S90 Compact Camera, it must be carried in a case. So when Canon came out with a case for the S90, I bought it immediately.

On the plus size, the Canon PSC900 Deluxe Leather Case looks, feels and even smells like an old time camera case. It's made from stiff leather that feels like it will protect the camera well. (Be aware that there is not much padding, so this case may or may not help your S90 survive a four foot fall on to a concrete fall.) There is a magnetic snap that looks like a retro metal snap. Very cool. It's easy to get the camera in and out of the case. The camera fits well--as you might expect. (This is a larger compact camera than most and finding a case that fits it properly can be an issue.) And there is a belt strap--although it's not the type that I prefer. I like to clip and un-clip the case from my belt. With the Canon PSC900 Deluxe Leather Case, I have to unbuckle and loosen my belt to get the case off of my belt.

There are some other down sides to the Canon PSC900 Deluxe Leather Case. There is no place to put SD cards, extra batteries or anything else. The case holds to Canon S90 and that's about it. Keep that in mind if you are thinking about buying this case.

If you are looking for a sturdy, well-made leather case--one that looks very retro and is nicely constructed to hold your Canon S90, this case is worth considering. But if you are looking for something more than the basic "hold my camera case" you may want to check out cases from other manufacturers such as Tamrac or Lowepro.

Best Deals for Canon PSC-900 Deluxe Leather Case

After trying several cases from the likes of Built NY and Lowepro, I finally decided on the Canon PSC900 leather case. It's far from perfect, but it was the best available solution.

The best part of the case is that it is custom molded for the Canon S90 digital camera. The flap has a circular indentation that allows the lens to fit around it perfectly. The case is a perfect fit and does not add significant bulk, which was the problem I had with some of the Lowepro's. On the other hand, there is absolutely no additional storage or features. It does however have a belt loop but a clip would have been a better solution so that a belt wouldn't need to be threaded in the loop. The flap secures to the body by a magnetic button, which is fairly strong but not so much so that you struggle to open it. I don't understand why they chose to leave so much open space on the upper part of the sides though. I can understand a small slit on the left side (facing the front) for wrist straps, but why the opening on the right side? It's not like you can access any ports while in the case. Lastly, you can't tell from the photos, but the Canon logo is not printed on the case. It's a piece of plastic that they glued on. I can see the logo coming off sometime in the future.

Of the available cases, I found the PSC900 to be the best for the Canon S90. Unlike similar neoprene cases, the hard formed exterior shell of the PSC900 will actually protect the camera from bumps on tables or corners. It could use improvements and a price reduction, but if you invested in the S90, another $35 for a good case is a worthwhile expenditure.

Honest reviews on Canon PSC-900 Deluxe Leather Case

I was a bit worried about this case after reading some of the reviews, but now that I have it, I couldn't be more pleased. The leather, fit, and construction are top-notch. The logo is not plastic and it is not glued on. It is metal and it is attached through the first layer of leather. I was actually planning to remove it, but doing so would require some cutting so it's not going anywhere. The belt loop is ideal since it only protrudes about 1mm; far less than a metal clip would and it's far more secure. There's no extra storage for accessories, and that's the way it should be because this is the type of camera you can carry in a pocket. Although this case was originally made for the S90, it also fits the S95 perfectly. (The S95 is only 1mm slimmer than the S90.) There's an ingenious notch that allows the adjustment ring to protrude past the interior portion of the case and partially into a recess in the case flap resulting in a case that can still fit in a pocket while providing plenty of protection. My only complaint is the seller shipped it in a bubble-wrap envelope as opposed to a box. The case got crushed in transit and there is now a crease along the top of the case, which should normally be flat and smooth.

I actually got this teal case like a week before the camera came in due to it being on back order on Panasonic Direct.

Anyway, I really like this case quite a lot! When I got my White Lumix XS1 I thought the case would be too large but then when I put the camera inside, it actually fits perfectly!

Unfortunately, the XS1 has a plastic casing as opposed to a more solid metal to my disappointment so the fact that the camera sits in the middle of the inner area so when you zip up the case, the camera doesn't move around and rub on the zipper and scratch it up, is pretty stellar.

That black strap you can see below the case in the picture attaches on the bottom which is a little awkward due to it's positioning near the zipper closure part but I'm getting used to it. It doesn't come attached when you get it out of the plastic packaging and it's instead, in a little plastic baggie thing inside the case itself along with some padding so it retains it shape which can be discarded. The case also came with this small, maybe 5 inch long half inch wide blue Velcro thing and I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to be for. I guess I can use it to secure something.

The item is Made in China (what isn't these days. The XS1 is also Made in China) but it seems to be pretty well made and looks quilted just like in the picture. I have to say this case is seriously just what I was looking for and I'm very happy to have purchased it.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I just bought this bag for the Canon Powershot G2 ...

Though another reviewer made an excellent point in saying that apart from batteries and 1 or 2 extra memory cards it won't fit much accesories, the main reason I bought this bag is for optimal protection of the camera itself, and only secondly for transportation...Other points:

the opening is nice and large, though not in a way that the camera might fall out...With this design I think it will be easy to get the camera out when you need to.

The material looks and feels excellent. The inside material is very soft and padded for excellent protection of the camera.

One of the crucial things to me to choose this bag is the All Weather Cover. A 'jacket' that is nicely tucked away in the bottom-back of the camera, that you can pull out and nicely fits around the front and sides of the bag. It may seem a little tight (it has an elastic part on the top) but think about it: the looser it'll fit, the less weather protection it will offer.

A very nice bag for a very reasonable price...

The back has an extremely strong velcro belt strap. Two rings accommodate an adjustable shoulder strap (which I leave off). I use the 4500-strap through the side of the 2-zippered cover.

All in all, the highest quality, function, and design for a camera the size of the Coolpix 4500.

This is my third Lowepro camera bag for all the other camera I had in the past and now. This looks good and very well made inside and out. I bought this one in particular for my Canon SX210 IS. I am looking for something that would fit other things like batteries, memory cards, USB cable, charger, lens clenaer, etc. Well, there is a separate compartment for the memory and batteries. The main compartment is too big for my camera alone. I wished it had one of those dividers with velcro that you can move around. My previous Lowepro's have this on them. With this one, I can't put my other accessories as it might scratch my LCD. It is a very good camera bag, just make sure it is the right size for your camera. This camera would accomodate a small SLR camera.

I've been searching for a small neoprene case for my Canon SX230HS. I've tried some other small cases, and while they do fit and do protect the camera, they didn't allow mw to keep the camera in my pocket. The SX230HS is already a somewhat large camera, so the case would have to small to allow for pocket carry. I saw this on Amazon and, though there weren't many reviews to provide good feedback, I decided to try it out. I have to say I'm quite pleased. The camera fits in the case with just a little room to spare. It's not so tight a fit that I have to squeeze it in. The pouch on the front could hold an extra SD card or two or even another NB5L battery. But my main concern is being able to slip this in a jacket pocket without it being too bulky, as well as to protect the camera from scratches. This case does the trick. The quality is very good. I'm pleased with this case. By the way, it also fits my iPhone 4G, so if you need a case to protect the phone, this would work for that too. It's a snug fit, but a fit nonetheless.

Best Crumpler Industry Disgrace Camera Strap IDE001-B00000 - Black Deals

Crumpler Industry Disgrace Camera Strap IDE001-B00000 - Black
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is my 4th camera strap through Amazon, my 9th in all with the originals. So, I've had some experience and a lot of expense. I know that I'm not the only one who feels that even a 21 ounce Canon SX40 can feel like 8 pounds after a 4 hour, 5 mile hike through rough terrain (especially the uphill parts), but even with wider straps, I've been uncomfortable and lately have found straps pressing upon my carotid artery, clavicle, and chaffing my neck. So, having given up on my previous wide and Canon-provided narrow straps, I just had to take a chance with the Crumpler Convenient Disgrace Camera Strap.

I gave up trying to figure out the "Disgrace" part, but I watched at least 6 videos on everything from $90 straps that were almost the same, intensely studied reviews by MrNikon, and read about 50 reviews. I even talked it over with my brother whose primary camera and lens weigh over 6 pounds [turns out he uses a wrist strap]. Then, I had to take into consideration that I hike with one hiking pole (two is a long story), and finally bit the bullet and bought this not-inexpensive Crumpler.

Pros: It comes longer than most straps and, instead of cutting it down or looping it shorter, I made it 48". The best I could do with two others was 30-36".

Crumpler can be used as a sling since with 48", you can easily put your arm through even if you're wearing a jacket.

It can be worn as a sling from either shoulder. Many are right-shouldered only, and you can even switch when not using the camera allowing relief from one shoulder or the other if needed.

Cons: It's rests very low around the neck, on me below my waist. If you make it shorter, it becomes more difficult to use as a sling.

Don't kid yourself or believe the product hype: It's HOT when the sun's out or the temperature climbs. After just 2 hours, black or beech at almost 3" wide around the back of your neck, it is hot.

It rides or sits UP on the neck in the back. It's best if you wear a collared (instead of T-) shirt or have really long hair. If there's nothing between you and the strap, it's uncomfortable.

It chafes for a most peculiar reason: on the back of the widest part is the name "Crumpler" in a raised "rubber" lettering, and after an hour directly on my skin, it rubbed. But the edges also rubbed. Unlike their claim that it doesn't slip because of their rubberized "crumpler" name, it does slip especially when you're sweating.

But I'm still giving it 4 stars. Why? Because as a sling, it's the (almost) perfect width on the shoulder to distribute the weight better and make it bearable after 5 hours and very comfortable even after 4! It's even more comfortable than others if you let it ride low from your neck, but that depends on your own physiology. But as a sling, especially with just a T-shirt, your camera can be brought up to eye level in a second. It DOES grab when wearing a jacket or long-sleeved shirt, and I wish it slid up like the harness-type slings made for monster cameras.

As a sling it doesn't chafe. It doesn't slide, and at 4 feet total length, there's room to bring it up to the eye. (You should know that I'm 6'2" at least when I start a hike; sometimes I come back looking and feeling like Quasimodo.) Basically, this is the better of the bunch, and I haven't found the best yet. It's more reasonably priced than the ones made for 10 pound cameras, yet it's relatively expensive for what it is. I recommend it, but with the caveats I've mentioned.

The Crumpler Industry Disgrace Camera Neck Strap is adjustable and has the other characteristics of a usual camera strap as far as connecting it to a camera. That is where the similarities between it and other camera straps end. This is the third camera strap I have had for my present camera and it will be my last. The Crumpler is very soft and comfortable on my neck and my neck does not get tired from using it. I also like the fact that it is very low key and does not have a brand name advertisement in bright contrasting color. This will be the only camera strap I will ever use from now on.

Kudos to Crumpler for a superb product.

Best Deals for Crumpler Industry Disgrace Camera Strap IDE001-B00000 - Black

This is the best of several camera straps that I've used, owned, or tried on over the last 10+ years. It's of robust construction and is well padded, but remains reasonably moisture wicking and breathable (certainly much better in this regard than factory canvas straps or aftermarket neoprene products). The tailoring (which is contoured beyond the "flat band" approach of most straps) fits me perfectly. Aside from the quality and static fit, one of my favorite features is the fact that this strap achieves great comfort dynamically (while walking around with weight attached). When I refer to "dynamic" comfort, I am primarily addressing the fact that this strap does not exhibit the bungee cord behavior of many other replacement straps. I used a Nikon N65 with lightweight consumer lenses 10+ years ago and my neoprene strap (while comfortable statically) was a nightmare while on the move. This Crumpler (basically stretch free to my perception) is ideal for my Canon 7D and Canon EOS 1 with heavy higher end lenses. The contour of the strap lends itself well of hanging over my shoulder too.

I bought the Crumpler anticipating some sort of miracle solution to the strap fatigue I was getting from the Canon strap that came with my 600D. I'm not sure what I expected, but I thought that there'd be some sort of super-cushioning in the neck, maybe a little stretchy fabric in the strap itself, but, basically, it's just a cool looking strap with a nice-but-not-exceptionally-comfortable neck piece that's slightly more padded than a standard strap. For Close to $40 bucks, one would have thought there'd at least be some Miracle Foam (or foam of any kind!) in the neck, but, sadly, it's just a puffy piece of nylon that feels as though it's got a bit of fluff in it. Oh well. It's fashionable, anyway, and I'm no longer a walking Canon advert. Huzzah.

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.

I purchased this case when I ordered the FinePix 3D camera and never regretted the extra protection this case provides.

Bought this for my Canon Powershot SX260. It is exactly what I was looking for to protect my camera while in my purse. It is nice and soft and has a tighter fit. Has enough room for an extra card in the front pocket but don't think it will fit an extra battery. I will have to get a bigger case for travel.

The perfect camera bag for a small point and shoot! The pocket holds a spare battery and a memory card, and the entire thing fits in my purse next to my wallet. Well made and nice material.

There are some valid reasons for having a real camera bag or case. For example, so that you can carry extra batteries, SD chips, maybe filters, etc.

But I'll bet 90% of the time, all you really want is protection of the camera itself from physical damage, etc. The camera already has a carrying strap. Why do you need another one on the case itself ?

This stretchy foam case will provide the desired protection perfectly well, and give quick ready access after you have stretched it a bit (initially it is a tight fit).

For air travellers, in these days of luggage restrictions, it works as packing protection and saves valuable weight compared to the usual "real" camera bag.

Very innovative product. Nice alternative to "leatherish" camera cases. Fits snuggly and easy to work with for my daughter's hands too. Recommend to purchase.

This item is a little tight but does work for the Kodak Z990 and the Panasonic FZ150. It is a nice addition to my Photography collection.

Honest reviews on Fotodiox Neoprene Zoom Camera Cover Sleeve (Travel Case) for Kodak

Pros -

1) Excellent material the neoprene is high quality

2) Great build quality stitching appears very sound

3) Velcro closure on the portion that "loops" around the lens is heavy duty velcro.

Con (only one) -

1) The product was advertised as being designed for my Kodak EasyShare Z981, which has a protruding viewfinder and an off-center lens. The fit is not exact, as the lens "pouch" is centered on the product.

I just hiked in Colorado with my camera strapped to the outside of my backpack with the Fotodiox sleeve as the camera's only protection. It took the bumps and occasional abrasions just fine.

Would I buy it again? Yes. If you have the EasyShare Z981 should you buy it? Yes absolutely.

I don't know what Easy-Share Max other people have but there is no way to stuff my camera into this sleeve. I have not found a way to do it without part of the camera hanging out. Don't buy this even though it is only $6.00, you will be wasting ten bucks (3.50 shipping). Neither myself or my husband were able to make this work.
