My main concern was to protect the screen and the camera itself. The detachable back cover is very convenient and the case looks very well on my black em-5 body. The camera is easier to grab with this case on. It feel ans look right. Just be aware that the case needs to be removed to switch batteries and cards.

Very pleased with this purchase

This is a beautiful leather case, and makes the camera very comfy to hold, but when plugging in the cords for download, or changing batteries, it has to be removed. Some of the other cases available were almost as nice looking, and had access to all the openings, but this was the only one with a screen cover. I was more interested in that feature, so I passed on the accesses.

UPDATE: I stopped using the case. It was terribly hard to remove to change batteries, and it got in the way. So sad to say. It was beautiful, but that didn't make it usable.

Clik Elite CE704GR Telephoto SLR Chest Pack, Gray Review

A few months ago I purchased the Clik Elite Pro CE406GR Back Pack with Click Stand (Gray). This pack has a huge capacity for camera gear and provides a very comfortable way to carry a heavy load. I carry a large DSLR and several pro lenses and substantial tripod. The pack gives the capacity I need and workspace that keeps my gear and the pack out of the dirt in the field.

One feature that the pack offers is the capability to snap in a chest pack that holds a camera body and lens. The clips are integrated into the pack straps and waist belt. I decided to order this chest pack to use with my pack.

The chest pack came and it's great lots of room for a pro-body DSLR with battery grip, 70-200mm f/2.8, and even my Really Right Stuff L-bracket. It comes with a harness, strap, and built-in rain cover. There's room in the cover for memory cards, batteries, maybe a couple filters, your keys, stuff like that. There are pockets on the side that would probably be good for maps, or thin stuff like that.

Now there's one little thing this is the new-for-2011 chest pack with some new features (the built-in rain cover), but unfortunately the clips are not compatible with the back pack I listed above Clik Elite Pro CE406GR Back Pack with Click Stand (Gray). (Clik Elite provide a retrofit set of clips)... But if you want to get the features I described and attach the chest pack to the back pack without a retrofit kit, you need to get the 2010 version of the chest pack Clik Elite CE511GR SLR Telephoto Chest Pack (Gray) it's basically the same chest pack, but with slightly different harness, strap, and clips compatible with the back pack. The 2010 version of the chest pack does not have the built-in rain cover, so you'd need to pick up a little one here or there Camelbak Tactical Rain Cover

The chest pack is very large. My 12 year-old son told me he wasn't going anywhere near me when I have it on it looks like a baby carrier. But strange looks aside, I have been alone in the wilderness with my pro-DSLR around my neck with the 70-200 and fallen on the rocks. I got lucky and saved the camera and lens from damage, but it was too close for comfort. This case provides protection from that kind of accident, and gets the weight off your neck. With the camera in a chest pack, it's a lot more accessible for shooting than if it's in the back pack. So I may look a little strange, but given that I am going deep in the woods when I use this, there's probably not going to be too many people that see me anyway. And if I lose my balance, there's a good chance the camera isn't going to get destroyed...

I use Olympus 4/3'rds equipment. My E-5 with HLD-4 battery holder along with my ZD 35-100 (70-200 equivalent in 35mm terms) mm f 2.0 lens fit inside this case with the lens hood (reversed) with little difficulty; the fit is a bit easier without the lens hood on the lens. In addition, my Olympus ZD 300mm (600mm equiv.) f2.8 lens will also fit in the bag (begrudingly), without the lens hood and without the camera attached, this is good for me as I do not like the lens swinging around in its supplied case while hiking Blue Ridge/Skyline Drive. In both instances above there is no way I could have my EC-14 (1.4X) teleconverter attached; also, tripod ring was attached to both lenses.

The pack is comfortable even with the heavy 300mm f2.8 lens in it. I also like that the pack can be attached to my QE backpack via the ports built into the shoulder straps, I have the 2010 Escape backpack. With this pack I will have fewer worries of my $$$ lenses hitting a rock or tree and being damanged.

I had ordered this case for a Kodak M1063 Camera. I ordered the camera the same day. The camera came first and it turned out to be pretty crummy so I decided to return it. I also decided then, (before the case got even arrived) that I would be returning the case as well.

When the case arrived however, I was very impressed with the quality of it. I ordered Eva Black. It is a very attractive case.

I decided to open it up and take a look. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did the rigid plastic provide a very solid shell but was padded enough to be ultra shockproof.

The case fits the camera perfectly, with just enough room on the inner edges to provide a sort of protective bubble.(It also fits my PmP FLAWLESSLY which is what I am going to use it for.) On one side of the interior of the case is a very sturdy little strap to keep the camera centered; on the other side is a little mesh enclosure that you could use to hold anything from SD cards to a small wallet.

The zipper and clip on the case are very sturdy and clearly very well made.

The LCD screen guard was a nice extra. It is really nothing more than a durable transparent sticker, but it does the job adequately and does not look as if it would be difficult to remove if I wanted to.

I would absolutely have given this excellent product 5 stars except for the fact that there is a small stain on it. It is not worth it to me to ship it back and wait for it to be replaced over the stain, but it would have been nice if it arrived in perfect condition, it is a brand new product after all.

Despite the stain I am happy with this case and would buy another if the need arose.

This leather bag is small enough to take anywhere yet is remarkably capacious. I initially bought it to carry my Kindle and was surprised to find my K2 fits into the bag in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, leaving lots of room to spare for other electronics (or even for a full size book). I also appreciate the multitude of pockets in which to store pens, cell phone, Kindle accessories.

All told, a bit pricey but well-made and worth the price.

Addendum: This bag fits the Kindle DX just perfectly when the DX is inserted in portrait orientation. Sweet.

Addendum 2: This bag also fits my Toshiba NB-205 netbook like a glove, yet with room to spare in the front pockets for the AC adapter and miscellaneous accessories. It almost looks/feels like the bag was made specifically for this particular 10.1 inch netbook (and perhaps others, although I haven't tried them).

The leather is very good quality, and I am sure it will age nicely. The zippers work well, the stitching is perfect, and the shoulder strap has a wide section which distributes the weight nicely on your shoulder. The wide section is arc-shaped, and the strap ends can be swapped for carrying on either shoulder. The strap attaches to the bag with swivels, which is a very nice feature.

Prior to buying it, I read a review which stated that the strap was not long enough to wear it cross-body, so I sent an email to Piel, asking about the length of the strap. I received a detailed response the same day, stating that the strap is 50 inches long. I am 5' 10" tall, and the strap is plenty long for me, without alot of excess length. I typically wear it with the strap on my left shoulder and the bag just behind my right hip.

I just returned from a cruise, and the bag easily held my wallet, car keys, passport, noise-cancelling headset, camera, Kindle, various eye glasses in their cases, small binoculars, some prescription meds, and a few other small items.

I am very happy with this bag, and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality product which is compact yet functional.

I bought this bag to serve as my main slr camera bag. I wanted to be able to store all my camera equipment in here and then take out the camera and lenses I want for the day in place in my fastpack. I looked for weeks at alot of different bags, and got this one because of large amount of storage, it's lightweight, ALL WEATHER (has a built in rain cover which is nice, because you won't lose it since it is sewn in), and it fully ZIPS closed. I saw a lot of bags that use "velcro" to secure them close, including 2 canon bags which were very nice, except for the closures were just velcro, and the velcro was only one the sides of the cover, not the front flap. Not very secure. This bag also has a piggy back slot for travel. Nice additional feature.

The main compartment is large and the height of the bag along with the dividers is helpful in making "stacked" storage. I have the main area seperated into 3 sections, the right, middle and left. The right and left section are divided again into 3 more sections all of which could be double stacked. This is because the velcro dividers have a "flap" to them. When you set the divider in and get it secure, there is a "flap" at the top that does not velcro in place and can either be left as is to provide a "tall" slot, or folded over to divide that slot into 2 shorter stacked slots.

The middle of the main compartment I have divided into 2 slots. My Nikon D40 with an attached 55-200vr lens is in on of those slots, and then the kit lens is in the 2nd slot.

On the right side I have 3 slots (or divided areas. Two of these slots are used for lenses and a 3rd slot which I have a lens hood turned on its side. You could also fold the flap of the divider over so you could stack another small item on top of the hood as well.

On the left side I have it serperated into 3 slots with are all "doubled" by "stacking". In those 3 slots I have the following: Back slot, battery charger, then fold the top flap of the velcro divider over and I have my flash in its case on top. My extra filters in there hard plastic cases in bottom of 2nd slot, with flap folded over I have my main filter case (holds three filters) on top. 3rd slot has another lens hood in it and the top is still empty and could hold a smaller item, or even a smaller lens on top part. My 18-55 "kit" lens could go there I did try it and made sure it would work.

On the covers inside there are the 2 sd pockets that have a little flap to them that velcro for security. There is also a long zippered pocket on the inside cover that I use for my camera body cover, and extra rear and front lens covers. The cover also has a zippered pocket on the outside where I store my pen lens cleaner and some lens cleaning cloths.

The front pocket is nice but not as "deep" as it looks. If you unzip it, you will find a long pocket at the back that I can open just enough to fit in my car charger and usb cord. In front of that pocket there is 3 very small mesh pockets. I have 4AA batteries in one, my camera remote in another and and extra camera battery in the 3rd. The rain cover is in a zipper just below this zipperd compartment and stuffs upwards so that is why the front pocket seems "deeper" that it is. When in actuality, it is partially the rain cover.

There is also a zippered pocket on the back of the bag. I placed my manuals in there. Lastly there are mesh pockets on each side of the bag.

I'm a Lowepro fan, they always seem to have whatever you need... this one can really hold a lot... It holds comfortably: my Nikon D90 body + 18-105mm lens + 70-300mm Lens + 50mm f/1.8 lens + fisheye 6.5mm lens + Nikon SB600 Speedlight + a small point&shoot camera + extra D90 battery + home & car charger + 5 lens filters + many other accessories (e.g. extra memory card, cables, remote controls... etc.)... It's a little big, but you can rely on it to hold all your equipments.

Best Deals for Lowepro Nova 190 AW Camera Bag (Black)

I purchased this bag as an upgrade from a Cullmann bag I had bought years ago. The Cullmann now holds my older Minolta Dynax 505si, even older Minolta XM and a few accessories.

After purchasing the Nikon D90, I needed a new bag. I had purchased the Lowepro Nova 190AW because there was not much selection at the time so i didn't have much of a choice. However, i have begun to appreciate it after using it. The bag has the main compartment with dividers with a rain flap zip cover, a zipped pocket on the outside of the flap, a zipped front pocket, two side elastic pockets, a rear zipped pocket and a zipped internal pocket (under the top cover). the top zips closed and includes a rain flap that locks down with a clip. a shoulder strap is included. a very nice touch is a flap that can slide over a rolling luggage handle.

The main compartment can be organized using the dividers. To give an idea of what can be carried (or more correctly what i carry); the main compartment has a D90 with lens & battery charger/cable, Sony HDR-XR160E camcorder & battery charger/cable, gopro hero HD with case and motor sport suction mount, gopro chesty, iphone tripod mount with mini-tripod, a collapsible mono-pod and miscellaneous cables. The flap zipper pocket has cleaning cloths and lens tissue. The front zipped pocket has the different gopro covers (including a floating one), gopro lcd and some manuals. The inside zipped pocket (under the cover) keeps all the gopro mounts/extensions safe. The rear pocket has the D90 manual.

The bag is well constructed and big enough to carry quite a bit of gear, yet small enough to keep as a carry on and hauling around comfortably for long periods of time. I am not sure how water resistant the material is (and i don't intend to deliberately try) but it looks like it will take a decent splashing. The bag seems strong and well stitched together. The clips and D rings for the shoulder strap are metal, unlike many other brands that make them in plastic.

The downside; the felt or velvet (whatever you want to call it) on the carrying handle is crumbling off and the sides & bottom could have benefited from some extra padding. These two reasons are why it lost a star.

A very good purchase, worth every penny and very versatile. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Nova 190 AW Camera Bag (Black)

Its a pretty descent bag. Has good number of compartments to store your small accessories. Inside the bag, I keep my T2i with grip, canon's 55-250mm, 18-55mm & 50mm 1.8 lenses, a 58mm ND Filter with case and 58mm CPL Filter with case, a 52 to 58mm filter converter ring, a 580EXII flash with its case and stand, a Yongnuo Yn-460ii Flash with its case and stand, a 3 step macro extender, a Kenko 2x teleconvertor, a Cowboystudio transmitter and its 2 receivers, a Canon LP-E8 charger, 4 LP-E8 batteries, car charger cord for the LP-E8 charger, 3 packs of 4 AA batteries, AA Charger, few USB cords and few more accessories. You may think thats too much, but you know what, I still have some room :D

So all my stuff is always with me now.

But I have 2 problems with this bag.

The internal cloth wall is too loose and it feels a lot flimsy. If you have seen the Rezo bags by lowepro, their interior is good. The internal cloth padding is quiet tight. Also They have provided very small Velcro inside, which is stitched to that flimsy cloth. So you cant adjust the dividers as you like. I mean you are limited by the amount of internal Velcro provided. Again if you have seen the rezo bags, they dont have separate velcro stitched. The padding cloth itself works as velcro. So you can stick the dividers whereever you like. Which lets you customize the bags exactly as you like. The only problem with Rezo bags (for me) is, they dont have many external compartments for smaller accessories. Thats the reason I purchased the Nova bag instead of Rezo.

I wish the had best of both the worlds of Rezo and Nova bags, i mean design of Nova and interior of Rezo :) Lowepro, are you listening?

This bag can fit my D90 attached with sigma 50-150mm f2.8 (stored vertically), Nikon 18-105mm, Nikon 35mm f1.8, Flash SB-400, and even Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster Large (Black).

There are also many compartments to store my charger,backup battery, and SD card.

The room in the bag is plenty and customizable as you see fit. Weather resistance and comfortable shoulder strap are nice options to have.

Only con is there is no room for tripod to be held with the bag, unlike slingshot 202.

Highly recommend if you are looking for shoulder bag for your equipments and don't concern much about carrying your tipod.

This wallet does what I need, hold memory cards.

Unfortunately, the clip on the back which allows it to attach to a belt or Sliplock loop (as on lowepro bags) is not super secure. The button snap comes apart easily, and the velcro is not as strong as it should be.

The pockets are different sizes, and the smaller ones are a *very* tight fit for a compactflash card in its plastic case.

A few small changes to the design of this product would make it absolutely perfect.

I manage to stuff, without any great feats of mental or physical effort, four memory chips and four batteries for my Canon XTI into this unit. I will grant that when folded, it's a bit bulky but with short use, the thing settles down into a reasonable package.

I put it on the strap of my Tamrac Adventure 9 (if full senility hasn't set in) and it causes no impediment to movement or comfort. I'll be ordering a second for storage internal to the bag as well.

Altogether too many people seem to LOOK for the most nit picky things to complain about. They never really put in the effort to SEE if the product works. It seems being churlish is fashionable these days.

Best Deals for Tamrac MX-S536901 Memory & Battery Management Wallet 8 (Black)

I was looking for something that could hold/organize AA batteries as well as my SD memory cards. Being a Tamrac fan, this was what I was looking for and needed. My configuration holds 16 AA and 10 SD cards. Strong Velcro holds the wallet together extremely well with it fully loaded and offers a belt loop. The loop is also secured by Velcro along with a button snap so my cards are always with me while shooting events. The quality is what I expected from Tamrac...top notch.

Honest reviews on Tamrac MX-S536901 Memory & Battery Management Wallet 8 (Black)

This was exactly what I was looking for. I use it to hold 6 compact flash cards in their plastic sleeves as well as 8 AA batteries and everything fits fine. The strong velcro holds it all together and I stick it in a pouch of my camera bag. Only downside is there is system that lets you know whether or not a card has been used already aside from flipping them upside down.

I'm anal about a lot of things. This item makes me feel good about it. I keep all my spare batteries in it in my backpack. I always have batteries, and I always no which are ready to go and which are dead. If you carry a camera or any electronic device that uses AA or AAA batteries and you are needing to get them out of the bottom of your bag or purse, this is what you'll need.

First and foremost, I am a very picky and anal when it comes to quality of the products. I am very straight forward to people if the quality or service is garbage. With this product I am very please with the quality for the price. The outside case has that typical leather feeling like the other camera case you get from BestBuy. The inside case has this soft swede texture feel which feels great to the hand. All in all, I recommend this product if your looking for a great bang for your money. The reason why I didn't give it a 5/5 star was because of the tracking number was not given to me. I had to email the seller for my tracking number which took 1 day for them to respond. I know you guys are probably like, it's only 1 day. I have experience from other sellers that it only takes 1-2hrs they reply back to me. Like I said I'm very anal when it comes to product and services. Anyways I'm happy for the product 5/5 for the product. 4/5 for the services. Video review click here:

This is a great camera backpack, and for the price, can't really be beat. However, there are a couple of things that I dislike about the bag.

1) The padded dividers are quite thick and take up a chunk of space within the backpack.

2) The hammock system for the camera is neat but it also results in a lot of wasted space at the top of the backpack on either side of where the DSLR body sits.

3) The zipper for the main flap goes down all the way to the bottom but due to the rubberized "bucket" at the bottom, has to stop above the bucket section at the base of the backpack. This is inconvenient because the lower most compartments of the backpack are hard to get at since the flap cannot be pulled apart any more. That space is pretty much dead space because anything that is stored in there will not be easily accessible unless you lay the bag completely flat and then struggle a bit with pulling your lens out of the bottom most compartment.

4) The pouches/flaps in this bag are not very useful due to their lack of having any real capacity as they sit flush against the body of the backpack. This is my single biggest gripe for the bag because the other points made above are more easy to overlook. I especially find it hard to store my GND filters and polarizer along with adapter rings and cokin filter holder in the front/side pouch which is where I should be able to store them for easy access.

Don't let my list of negatives fool you. It is still a great backpack. I just decided to list these points because I didn't really see them in any reviews I read when researching the backpack. If I had, I might have considered a different backpack that had more pouch space for accessories.

Edit I just wanted to clarify that while my review might perhaps sound more negative than the 4 star rating that I gave this bag, I just chose to list the few complaints I had, that I did not find in any other review at the time of purchase. There are plenty of great things about this bag, and I encourage you to read the abundant positive reviews here on Amazon to learn about them. I've owned this bag for almost a year now and I still like it. My camera has always felt safe in it. Since I don't carry more than 3 lenses at any given time, I have plenty of room in the bag for some of my other accessories.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a very well thought out bag that really stands out from others in its class. For someone like me, who travels with their gear and does a good bit of hiking and camping, a rugged bag is essential.

The organizational possibilities are endless with this pack. The interior is composed of numerous foam components (coated in soft felt) equipped with Velcro. It is super easy to rearrange the padding inside to give any lens a snug fit. I threw in my 200mm zoom and 1.4 prime lenses today, quickly readjusted the padding, zipped it up, and I was out the door without a worry. Of course, I still had room for about four other lenses. I also had my 20-year-old Minolta camera in there, and the design of the hammock and the way the padding angled around the camera body gave it a very secure fit. The memory foam designed to sit on top of the camera body is dense, but it is covered in felt and seems safe enough to have pressed against the display screen of a DSLR. In short, there is no need to worry about harming your gear with this pack, which is important because many of us don't have the most rugged equipment in the world. The padding also gives me peace of mind for hauling my laptop around. My 15.4" laptop fits like a glove in its designated spot and the padding extends to all sides of the compartment (even on top where it zips).

I have taken this pack with me on a trek through the snow on one occasion. I had no problem or hesitation setting it down in the snow. The bottom is very durable and waterproof, and the pack does not easily tip over. I've even packed it lopsided and had some of the flaps hanging open, and it still didn't tip.

While the main features of this pack are great, the little things Caselogic added are a nice touch. Aside from the main two compartments (for camera equipment and laptop), the ancillary compartments on this bag are useful. There are two pockets on the inside flap of the camera compartment and several pockets accessible from the outside. Each of these has its own padding to some degree, and within most of the pockets are different sized pouches just right for fitting any type of smaller equipment (e.g., batteries, film, memory cards, lens filters). The tripod straps on the outside of the bag seem very durable and large enough to hold most any sized tripod, although I have not yet tried taking one out with me. Finally, it helps that the shoulder straps are padded. When this bag is loaded with a laptop and photo equipment, it gets pretty heavy, and it helps that the full length of the straps are padded.

There's not a lot to complain about with this pack. In fact, I only have one gripe, and it is too minor to merit the loss of a star from my rating. With the amount of padding on the back of this bag, it's going to press against your back when you have it loaded, and it doesn't take long to build up a sweat. It would have been nice to see Caselogic design this pack with an airflow system that holds the pack just far enough off your back to let air through (like with newer hiking backpacks). Maybe that will be the next step. For now, though, this concern is too minor for me to complain.

ALL of those flaws have been corrected on this new SLRC-206 case. The area where the camera body goes is now UNIVERSAL! ANY body will now fit this case even with a Canon 300mm L lens attached, hood reversed! My 20D even fits perfect with a battery grip attached, It is totally universal, BEAUTIFUL! There is now padding all around even the flap that goes around the top over the camera body! The padding is very substantial all over this case, even the small pieces that hold your lenses in place are very thickly padded, moveable and and contoured to hold everything secure. Everything inside is moveable with velcro, even the rubber sling piece the lens slips through, completely adjustable for any use, you can even take out everything inside and use it as a regular backpack! I LOVE THIS CASE and I thank case logic for listening to my review and correcting every single flaw of the XNSLR-6. Even the bottom was well thought out. It has a hard water proof bottom. The zippers are extra big and zip with ease, there are plenty of compartments inside and out. There are velcro tripod straps on the side and another compartment on the other side. There is a handle on the top very well reinforced and well padded shoulder straps and padding on the back where it rests on your back. They thought of everything! All of these GREAT features and best of all this case weighs literally NOTHING! It is very substantial but feather light so go ahead and fill it up, it holds a ton of stuff even a laptop and the weight will be what you put inside not in the case itself like most competitors. It also looks great and the bright yellow interior GREATLY helps you see what's inside, I hate a case with a black interior when you are packing mostly black photo gear! This bag is a 100% improvement over the XNSLR-6. I can't think of one negative thing to say and thats just not normal for me as I am very hard to please. GET IT! This is an AWESOME case!!!!

I noticed there are no interior dimensions mentioned for the photo side of this case just the laptop side so here you go:

The camera gear side interior measures 16.5'' tall x 11'' wide x 6.5'' deep, about the size of your average backpack with tons of room. Will easily pass as a carry on bag!

Honest reviews on Case Logic SLRC-206 SLR Camera and 15.4-Inch Laptop Backpack (Black)

This is my second second Case Logic Backpack this size. The older model was ok, but didn't feel durable, and broke a couple zippers within months, so I was a little hesitant about this one. This model does seem a little heavier, more durable, and the zippers seem to be better, but the side straps for the tripods didn't last long. One broke within a month or little over. They are pretty good bags, wish they would be a little more durable. Because of that I have to go 3 stars...

It has been a long trek for me finding the perfect bag, so far this Caselogic bag comes close but still no cigar... I am looking for a bag I can bring to work daily to carry my laptop and most if not all my camera gear and not look like a luggage is on my back.

The good:

Excellent padding throughout the entire bag.

Hard bottom for stability & protection.

Divider padding is thick (see bad).

Memory foam cover of the camera slot.

The bad:

Shoulder strap is thinly padded (My Canon branded camera backpack has a beefier shoulder strap).

Very tight fit for my 50D with battery pack, needs alot of forcing to zip closed (Canon 1D & battery grip pack owners beware).

Dividers are too thick, wasting valuable space (easily remedied).

The camera holder suspension slot is too tight, I can't insert the camera with the hood on (24-70mm). Going in and out the camera gets stuck. (It can be removed)

I have 3 bags currently (Canon & Lowepro Computrekker Plus) this Caselogic bag is an excellent size, not too big, and I was able to fit all my gear plus my MBP 15". However the bad listed for the battery pack prevents me from using it everyday. In addition the straps on the Caselogic slr206 concerns me on the long term reliability.

The case is too small for the Zacuto finder. I'm keeping it just because I will use it for something else. The quality is good.

This is definitely a necessity for anyone who likes to keep their gear organized and neat.

Perfect size, yet if you have any other accessories for the Z-finder, they most likely will not all fit.

This case is a little too snug. Otherwise it's a nice case. I was hoping for a better fit since it's mad by Zacuto for Zacuto. Still going to keep it since returning it would be an added step I don't feel like dealing with. I think a lens case might work even better than than this case to store your z-finder.

Honest reviews on Zacuto Z-BG Z-Finder Case

This is a great product. If you use your 7D (or other camera) as a video camera, this will really help tremendously. It is a very solid.

This viewfinder is one that you will not regret purchasing.

Buy this!!!

My Zacuto fits snuggly in there. It is a good case, unlike my Rode case for my mike. I recommend it.

This is a great camera case. I use it for my Panasonic Lumix-TS3, which is a rugged, waterproof camera.

The hard plastic flap is extra protection for the screen.

I usually leave the case unzipped 1/4" to allow the camera lanyard to stick out of the case. I carry the camera and case on my wrist together, and the tension on the zipper has never made it come unzipped.

My only concern is the loop that the carabiner is attached to. It seems rather small, and I would be cautious about using it to secure the case to anything for fear it would rip and the both camera and case would be lost. I solved this problem by not using the carabiner clip at all.

The case fits in my pocket (tight, but fits) and the belt loop attachment works, but looks a little doofy.

Great case for the money, It does what I wanted it to do, but I think the foam could be a little better.

Very Solid, came with foam, cooling looking and not too expensive when comparing other similar product. It would be great if the hole for locking is made or wrap with metal for stronger protection.
