Review of Bluecell Black Color NEX-F3 PU leather classic DC digital camera
Pros
-Nice looking case
-Easy to shoot with
-Inexpensive
Cons
-You can't flip up the screen with the case on
-No access to the battery or memory card
It would be nice to have a manual about how to use this case, if there is one I didn't get it.
I have been using it for about 6 weeks and I highly recommend this case.

Bag appeared a bit smaller than I expected, would like it to be a tad wider. Though it's enough for D7000 + 50mm 1.8D and a couple of lenses. Black material catches dust and cats fur easily so if you don't mind other colors I would choose khaki or tan colors.
Otherwise it's a great bag, quality is top notch.
I'd heard good things about Billingham for years, so I decided to give one a try. As a way to carry and protect your camera gear, it's perfectly fine. It fit everything I wanted to fit (Leica M6 w/ 50mm lens, Fuji X100, small tabletop tripod, light meter, Kindle, and a few filters and batteries).
My criticisms are aesthetic ones.
* I wish it were available in more colors. I don't like the way the green looks (too bright), and the khaki isn't really my style, so black was my only reasonable option. I wish it was available in grey/charcoal (perhaps with oxblood/reddish leather), or a dull camel waxed canvas. Even a darker green with darker brown leather would have been better.
* The lining is green. This would make sense if the bag itself were green, but it's not. Black or grey would have been much better and more consistent with the look of the bag.
* The insert material seems cheap. I'm sure it's fine and will hold up for a while, but it cheapens the look and feel of the bag. Also, it's the same green as the lining, which is ugly inside a black bag.
* I'd prefer a removable strap, or even one that connected to the bag through a loop of some sort so that I could cut it off and replace it. Unfortunately the strap is entirely sewn in to the bag, so I'm unable to replace it if I were so inclined.
Otherwise, the structure of the bag is great. I love that I can fit my iPad or a book or Kindle into the back perfectly (behind the insert).

I'm picky when it comes to bags, but this one met my requirements. I needed a small-ish bag to bring with me on a trip to Iceland. I usually use a Bleu de Chauffe Louise Plumber leather bag, but since I was traveling I wanted to bring an extra camera, and the Bleu de Chauffe 1) was too small to fit both my Leica & Fuji X100 comfortably, and 2) it's leather, and I was worried about Iceland's unpredictable weather ruining the bag.I'd heard good things about Billingham for years, so I decided to give one a try.

Great little case with a 'SONY' flag on it. No big deal to ME, but was advertised as a SAMSUNG case. Could be used for anything; fits my iPod well. Thinner than I expected. Good-looking case but BOY it SMELLS! Don't know what the odor is, but it stinks! Other than that, a nice little case. I think I'll let it air out for a while first, though.Best Deals for HDE Black Zipper Digital Semi-hard Camera Case for Samsung

Best incase DSLR Pro Backpack - 1586cu in Deals
I purchased this bag directly from Incase during their 45% off percent promotion, however it does not fit my needs so I will be returning it. I don't believe that this bag should really be marketed as a 'pro' camera bag as it most likely will not fit the gear that pro photographers would generally use. Lenses and accessories fit fine but the problem comes in when you put in a body with a grip, or a larger camera body such as the Nikon D3. The bag is not deep enough and the prism of the camera sticks out, and it will be pushing into your back as you're walking around. I'm not sure how this went through the design stage if it can't hold a gripped camera (which is easier to work around than for those who have large bodies). In addition to this, there is no rain cover included. For some reason the DSLR Sling does provide a cover and this bag does not. I would say if you have a camera without a grip and a large assortment of lenses, this would be an okay option. For those with pro-level gear, avoid!

EX 600 RT flash w softbox

Sennheiser evo wireless body pack & transmitter
small bag with lavelier mic and XLR cable
plus in the front pouches a charger, card reader, IDs, and so on.
great bag.
I got this backpack in Black-Limited version directly from Incase Website as it's not available anywhere else or at least not at the right price. My backpack arrived very fast and thankfully no custom-vat related charges were applied (shipping to Ireland) to my order. I have to say that I did the right thing selling my Lowepro Flipside 300 bag as it was getting too small for my new lenses. The main reason I got this backpack is because of its rear access. I get easily distracted by what is happening around me, especially when it involves zipping, locking, clipping etc. I even forget to zip up my pants when I go out :D. I was afraid that if I had a different bag with front or side access, one day, I'd have ended up dropping everything on the floor and loosing few k-Euro worth of equipment which is not something funny to experience or even think about.
I also like the fact that they included additional pockets inside and in front for camera accessories, touchscreen devices, cleaning kit, side straps for a tripod/mono-pod, even a small pocket for a point-and-shoot camera. Any dividers that you're left with, you can use as an extra padding for your lenses or DSLR body/-ies. The other important thing for me was the overall size of it. I have to be able to take my gear on a plane and this bag passes EU airlines requirements. BTW, if size doesn't matter to you, I also recommend looking at Fancier Hologon backpack model: FB-6003. It's bigger and offers more compartments + according to manufacturer's spec., its weatherproofness is much better than this Incase backpack.
Now the downsides. What I liked about the Flipside back pack was its ability to twist it around your waist and having full access to your gear at any time.
Fabric that these Incase bags are made out of (PRO heathered fabric, LIMITED EDITION durable cotton canvas) isn't waterproof. You need to buy a good rain cover for this backpack (up to 35L), if you're going to regions where it rains quite often. Also remember to get rain cover in a different color than BLACK or any dark color that absorbs heat quickly. Backpack cover in a light color will serve as a heat shield bouncing off the light when you're i.e. on a vacation in hot & sunny Italy. This will not only help you to protect your gear from rain but also reduce the temperature inside of your backpack which effectively will keep your gear cooler. It'll also have a positive impact on your portable power sources such as rechargeable and alkaline batteries used with cameras, flashguns. I'm not sure how the dark grey version of this bag absorbs the heat when carried in bright and sunny day.
Last but not least, the bottom part should have some kind of rubbery legs/patches or reinforced plastic/aluminium frame that would protect it against any wearing and tearing happening during outside escapades.
In overall, I couldn't be happier with this back pack. I really recommend it.
That's all.
Regards
It easily fit a D700 with 70-200 and bulky shoulder strap attached, into the quick access area (MB-D10 battery grip would not fit with a lens attached). There was still more than enough room for five additional lenses (which I'll probably never travel with) and an SB800 flash.
In the front section it fit the 15" MacBook, iPad mini and a regular iPad (in two different pockets), PLUS there was still room for a large headphone case which was really important to me (noise canceling headphones for flying see images). All this stuff with room to spare for the phone, extra cables, chargers and other do-dads.
While the material isn't "waterproof," it does feel somewhat weather resistant. I don't care that it doesn't come with an attached rain cover. Those things typically add bulk in the wrong places and I've never actually needed one in practice.
My one and only complaint is that the bag will not stand up by itself not a deal-breaker.
I'm currently travelling... and thanks to this bag getting my gear around is now so much easier now that I can store all my devices including my 15" Macbook Pro, my iPad and my Canon DSLR in the one pack & I know its 100% safe.
I looked at a ton of bags... and non offered this amount of storage (with room for personal items) or the refined look of the incase DSLR Pro Pack

Billingham Hadley Pro Shoulder Bag (Black with Tan Leather Trim) Reviews
I'm a long-time user of Billingham Hadley bags, finding them to be excellent protection for my rangefinder cameras and lenses. Why? There's superb canvas and fabric construction that provides exemplary insulation from unexpected shocks, such as bumping into objects and people. Moroever, the construction is so solid, that the bag wears nicely with age (I'd rather have my bag suffer abuse from long-time usage than my camera equipment. The black and tan version of this small Hadley is also quite beautiful, and doesn't attract too much attention from potential thieves. Purchasing a Billingham Hadley bag might seem like an expensive indulgence, but it is one that's well worth it given the bag's excellent construction, long-time durability, and, most importantly, excellent protection of camera equipment. Users of digital SLR equipment may find this bag quite suitable too for a small digital SLR and a lens or two. But I think this bag will be primarily of interest of owners of Leica, Voigtlander and Zeiss Ikon rangefinder cameras who are interested in travelling light with a camera body and a few lenses (The bag is spacious enough to accomodate two Leica M rangefinder cameras attached with wide angle or normal lenses, plus additional room for another wide angle lens or a compact telephoto lens too.).
This is not a bag for a gear hound. Instead, it is ideal for a small kit for street wandering. It is relatively light and its slim profile makes it easy to cut through crowds. It ships with a well padded insert configured with two tall dividers. The cloth is very soft and will not "sand" your gear. The two large dividers create three compartments and have room for a small to medium DSLR and a couple lenses and/or flash. Two smaller divider are included to subdivide a compartment or use as padding between stacked lenses. My EOS 5D MK II with EF 24-105 4L IS USM attached fits perfectly in the center with lens pointing down, albeit with a bit of a "baby bulge." A gripped or pro DSLR will not fit. There's room in the side compartments for my 70-200 4L IS USM (no tripod ring or hood) and a couple small primes or flash. Most of the time I only carry the 5D2 and 24-105 and flash, leaving a compartment to stuff with windbreaker, flask 'o Jack Daniels or whatever. Although there isn't an official slot for a MacBook Air or iPad, my iPad 2 fits perfectly between the insert and bag wall.
The strap is sewn directly to the bag, so you can't easily replace or upgrade to a wider strap. The strap is narrow--1.5 inches--so a loaded bag cuts your shoulder like a knife, not to mention being a bit slippery. The one glaring omission is the lack of a shoulder pad. For $260 Billingham should toss one in. So I had to spend another $35 for the SP15 shoulder pad. It's grippy, reasonably padded and the increased width distributes the load across the shoulder better.
All in all this is an excellent bag for a small DSLR kit or Micro 4/3 system. Its understated style looks great with just about anything but doesn't really catch the eye unless you look closely. My brightly colored Timbuk2 messenger gets way more remarks than the Hadley. The thin strap makes the Hadley less than desireable for heavy loads. Be sure to budget another $35 for the Billingham SP15 Leather Shoulder Pad 1.5" Wide, Black.
Inside the bag, but behind the padded insert there is just enough room for my 13" MacBook Pro, although that will make the back of the bag, up against the body, have a harder feel. The laptop sits up a bit above the padded dividers, but the top still closes over it if the straps are loosened a bit. Outside in back is a zippered pocket that holds letter-sized papers and pamphlets but not a letter-sized legal pad. It would also be fine for an iPad.
I now use the Pro for my briefcase on most days, and that allows me to keep my camera with me through the day. The bag is so nicely made and easy to use that I am considering getting its bigger brother for longer trips as a carry-on.
The strap is easy to adjust and comfortable, but without a spearate pad, it might be uncomfortable to load the Pro up with a laptop, cameras, lenses, water and other heavy items for a long carry. But my usual load is probably under 5 pounds (no laptop usually). The grab handle on the top of the bag is also a nice feature -I don't have to hunt for the strap to pick the bag up.
Billingham bags are expensive, but it is easy to see that they are superior products in design and manufacture. The price I got through Amazon saved me quite a bit, though, so I was happy for that.
Anyone considering this bag, or any other for that matter, should take the time to decide just how it will be used. If possible, try the bag out in person with your gear to avoid guessing. But I didn't have that luxury, so I had to measure and guess a bit. The videos on You Tube helped a great deal, and it worked out fine.
Its a Billingham. You know you want it. Just fork over the cash and make the investment. It will last you decades and become heirloom quality.
I bought this bag because I wanted a small-ish everyday satchel that I can use to always have my 5D with me. This works perfectly in this regard as A4 size papers fit inside. My 15" laptop does fit but I have to take the photo insert out. If you want to carry a netbook AND a pro body you might have to look somewhere else. The Hadley Pro is thin and is supposed to be close to your body. I would get the Hadley Large but it does not have the handle. Trust me, you need that handle.
I highly recommend getting the shoulder pad (Billingham SP40). I have a Domke shoulder pad but the SP40 is smaller and more comfortable. Plus its real leather. The Domke gets worn very, very quickly.
Its the perfect everyday bag. It might be the perfect gig bag too with the addition of twin Avea 5 pouches.
The bags best feature is that relative to my downsized camera kit, it's cavernous! Right now it's loaded with my NEX-6 with an attached lens, three more lenses including a 55-210 zoom, a full sized flash with a diffuser mounted, extra camera battery and charger, extra batteries for the flash, and two cables for off-camera flash use. All that is in the main compartment, and there's still room to add my iPad behind the photo insert if I don't want to put it in the rear pocket. The front pockets are empty at this point and available hauling more stuff on trips. Yet the whole package is small and manageable!
A great bag for EVIL camera systems!

I prefer using slim messenger style bags for my gear so I figured the Hadley Pro was right up my alley. Indeed, most of the raves from fellow reviewers are not mere fanboy banter: this bag actually is attractive, extremely well constructed and durable. In terms of appearance, it looks like a cross between a vintage school book bag (circa 1940) and an Old World gentleman's fishing bag. It's a classic yet unassuming look. The black canvas and tan leather trim is very stylish but perhaps a little over the top for some venues.This is not a bag for a gear hound. Instead, it is ideal for a small kit for street wandering.

Best Deals for Billingham Hadley Pro Shoulder Bag (Black with Tan Leather Trim)
After considerable internet research and You Tube video watching, I decided on the Hadley Pro for travel and street shooting. Its three padded compartments, with extra padded stacking dividers, were perfect for an M9, a couple of extra lenses, a few filters, cards, etc. That takes up two compartments, so the third is available for my back-up LX-5 or a water bottle. The unpadded front pockets hold a great deal as well. They accommodate CD/DVDs in cases, chargers, even small paperbacks.Inside the bag, but behind the padded insert there is just enough room for my 13" MacBook Pro, although that will make the back of the bag, up against the body, have a harder feel. The laptop sits up a bit above the padded dividers, but the top still closes over it if the straps are loosened a bit.

Yes, its expensive. But that is the only thing that should be holding you back.Its a Billingham. You know you want it. Just fork over the cash and make the investment. It will last you decades and become heirloom quality.
I bought this bag because I wanted a small-ish everyday satchel that I can use to always have my 5D with me. This works perfectly in this regard as A4 size papers fit inside. My 15" laptop does fit but I have to take the photo insert out. If you want to carry a netbook AND a pro body you might have to look somewhere else. The Hadley Pro is thin and is supposed to be close to your body. I would get the Hadley Large but it does not have the handle. Trust me, you need that handle.
I highly recommend getting the shoulder pad (Billingham SP40). I have a Domke shoulder pad but the SP40 is smaller and more comfortable. Plus its real leather. The Domke gets worn very, very quickly.
Its the perfect everyday bag. It might be the perfect gig bag too with the addition of twin Avea 5 pouches.

I recently switched from a bulky SLR system to a much smaller, lighter NEX. All of my bags were too large for my NEX kit and therefore not desirable after all, a primary reason for my switch was going small and light. After lots of looking around, the Hadley Pro turned out to be perfect. Like other reviewers report, it's beautifully made, water proof, and looks like a brief case, not a camera bag. It's soft and conforms comfortably to your hip if it's not stuffed. If it wears like the long-time purchasers of Billingham bags say, the price will be reasonable.The bags best feature is that relative to my downsized camera kit, it's cavernous! Right now it's loaded with my NEX-6 with an attached lens, three more lenses including a 55-210 zoom, a full sized flash with a diffuser mounted, extra camera battery and charger, extra batteries for the flash, and two cables for off-camera flash use. All that is in the main compartment, and there's still room to add my iPad behind the photo insert if I don't want to put it in the rear pocket. The front pockets are empty at this point and available hauling more stuff on trips. Yet the whole package is small and manageable!
A great bag for EVIL camera systems!

Discount Sony LCS-CSG Soft Genuine Leather Carrying Case for DSCT5/T9
I'm in the contruction field and have to take pictures from time to time. I bought a Sony T9 digital because of it's size and it's 6 magapix. It cost alot of money and needed to be protected and the Sony LCS-CSG soft case was the right move. It covers the whole camera and has a soft lining to protect the large viewing screen. I wish it had a spare pocket for an extra battery or storage.
The tough thing with buying cameras online, however, is that there is really no guarantee that the case you buy will be a good fit for your camera. The online reviews on Amazon.com didn't help me any, and I had a tough time making a choice. Fortunately, this case happened to be on sale, and it arrived at my mailbox two days later.
After trying this case on my camera, I was left with mixed feelings, due to some cons which I hadn't expected at the time of the purchase. The DSC-T50 camera itself is quite small, small enough that I feel more comfortable holding it with one hand rather than two. The case, however, is a bit wider than I would like it to be, and just makes my camera look big and clunky when it's in the case.
Don't get me wrong; there are good features about this product as well, at least many more than the bad ones. This case itself is a nearly perfect fit for the DSC-T50 (and the DSC-T30, for that matter). Although the exterior of the case is made of leather that is a bit hard for my liking, the interior is well-designed and has not made any marks on my LCD display something especially important to the DSC-T50, which has touchscreen capabilities.
And a seemingly unnecessary feature for most made this case necessary, at least for me. On the back of this case, there are two slits, obviously for attaching the case to a belt. This has made my camera much more available whenever I need it, without the risk of getting it dropped or scratched. I have ordered the LCJ-THA carrying case a case exclusively designed for the DSC-T30 as well, but my love for the LCS-CSG is enough for me to not return it to Amazon.com. As of now, the case is on my belt, and it will probably stay there for a long time.
Overall, a great deal for the money, does all that it promises. Recommended.
To owners of the DSC-T30 or DSC-T50: this case is a great fit for your camera. If you're looking for a case that attaches to your belt, look no further.

The image shown is incorrect (it's stretched). The case is a bit big for the DSC-T9. I figured one can just put the memory stick or spare battery inside with the camera, but the label specifically tells you not to do that. I bought it as a gift to match the camera, but personally I would have purchased an aftermarket case that fits better and can hold a memory stick. The leather looks nice.Best Deals for Sony LCS-CSG Soft Genuine Leather Carrying Case for DSCT5/T9
A week ago, I ordered a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50/B from Amazon.com. Investing in a $450 camera was no easy decision for me to make, however, and I was kind of disappointed that this camera does not come with a carrying case.

Honest reviews on Sony LCS-CSG Soft Genuine Leather Carrying Case for DSCT5/T9
This case is obviously NOT made of leather, let alone "soft genuine leather." It is clearly made of some kind of very stiff PVC vinyl. You can tell by lifting and examining the stitched covering that is folded over inside the flap. There is no evidence of any cowhide even though the tag inside says, "Made in China" and "Material: 100% piel bovino." I believe that translates to "skin of cow" but I repeat, this product is widely and FALSELY ADVERTISED as leather. The result is, you're paying as much as thirty dollars for a case that looks and feels like it's made from rare Chinese Vinyl Cows. Could this explain its recent price drop? Incidentally, this case does happen to fit the Sony DSC-T50 quite well, hence my promotion to 2 stars.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sony LCS-CSG Soft Genuine Leather Carrying Case for DSCT5/T9
