Cheap Thule Luggage Perspektiv Large Toploader

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Thule is well known for making high quality car attachments. They can be used to carry bikes, kayaks, skis and luggage. Recently they have expanded to also making bags for caring your electronics (computers, iPads, cameras, etc).

This is a very interesting bag, from the moment you pick it up, you can tell that this was made with quality and inattention to detail. It is even made to withstand most weather, although I would exercise caution with that.

On the other hand, there is one use for this bag to carry DSLR with a large lens. There are no pockets, no internal containers.... just one big open case. As such, this really limits its usefulness

For many people this is not going to be an ideal bag. Then again, if one has the need for a bag like this it isn't going to be the primary bag as you can't carry much else in it.

Ultimately, I would say that this is a novelty bag. It won't appeal to many and for those who need this type of bag, you should probably check out the competition before deciding on this one.

Well it is well built, and has some nice details.

But it is larger than needed for my lenses.

It would have been nice to have a flash or spare lenses compartment

Best Deals for Thule Luggage Perspektiv Large Toploader

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a rather large camera case. Measures about 11" tall, 8" square on top, tapering down to 6.5" square on the bottom. Construction quality is excellent. The walls are semi-rigid foam. Plenty of padding. All the zippers are sealed. In addition there is a rain cover. I ran this in my shower, and not a drop of water got in. The back has about a 1/2" of soft, ventilated padding. In terms of storage, you have one main compartment wit 2 sets of movable foam pads for the lens. On the out side, you have a tiny pocket on top...good for a set of keys or an iphone, but not much else. There's two side slots as well for quick access items, but there's no zipper. Overall construction quality is just beautiful. Best of any camera bag that I've seen. All the seams are perfect. The material looks amazing. Great looking case.

In use, I'd have to agree that this is not for everybody. My Nikon D7000 with a 18-200 lens look tiny and cannot be secured because it's plain too small. In fact, I can fit a 50mm lens on the bottom and still have room for the camera and 18-200 lens on top. It's not only the depth, but the width is also too wide. My friend's Nikon D800 fits perfectly.

This is a fairly comfortable case. I use it mostly as a sling. The strap is plenty padded, and the waste strap kept movements in check. The extremely precise seems makes it hard to work the zippers, however. Even using the zipper straps, the zipper gets caught all the time. And the top compartment, for some stupid reason, does not open all the way. The zipper stops about one inch from the back. Makes it a bit difficult to get your camera out.

Overall, I like this bag. It's beautifully made and completely weatherproof. However, I wouldn't use this for anything short of a full size DSLR. Just plain too big otherwise. If you have a full size DSLR and have the 80-200 lens, this is a custom made case for you. Otherwise, don't buy.

Honest reviews on Thule Luggage Perspektiv Large Toploader

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was initially excited about this bag because I carry a Canon 60D with a 70-200mm zoom lens and the bag I have now doesn't facilitate transporting the camera with the zoom lens attached.

Although the Thule Perspektiv bag will easily swallow the 60D with the zoom lens attached, a design flaw with the zipper makes it difficult to retrieve the camera from the bag. I've posted some photos to illustrate the problem that I will attempt to describe here.

The zipper on the top does not reach to edge of the top of the bag. This makes it difficult to open the bag and keep it open without using two hands. You have to fumble with the zipper and then use two hands to bend the top back out of the way to retrieve the camera. It's awkward, cumbersome, and frustrating.

I'm mainly a wildlife photographer so I need to be able to quickly retrieve the camera from the bag when I reach my location. This is where the bag disappoints, and for me the bag is unusable.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program As camera bags go this the probably the smallest one I own for my SLR now. It is as the vendor describes it, a minimalist bag for people on the go that don't want to be weighed down. It's really probably built for the prosumer range of camera's with but my SLR fits in nicely with with a 300mm lens. I could probably fit maybe one more lens 80mm or less in at the bottom, maybe, but that its, the only things left that the bag would really have room for is some memory cards and maybe a spare battery. That is pretty much it. So I think of the bag as a grab and go bag. I just want to take my camera, no extras, and go hiking or the zoo, concert maybe, somewhere that will not be needing a lot of accessories. For that purpose it does well. Its tough and well padded and pretty easy to open and get to in a hurry.

Best Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black Deals

Customer Ratings:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Honest reviews on Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 Camera Bag -Black

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

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

This is well made, nice case and suitable with the Panasonic DMC-TS2 rugged point and shoot camera IF you don't use the silicone sleeve that comes with the camera. It's a snug fit without the silicone sleeve, but suitable. No room for anything else though and even the wrist strap has to be forced. The zipper won't close with the sleeve on the camera.

Otherwise it's a nice case, seems well made, internal strap and mesh pocket. The five stars are for the quality of the product.

I had no idea what to expect with this camera sleeve and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the good quality and how easily my Nikon D3100 fits in there. I wanted something simple that would allow me to carry my camera around while keeping it protected and this definitely does the trick. My only concern is that it will only fit with the kit 18-55mm lens that came with the camera, but not the case with the zoom lens, but that's not too much of a hassle for now.

My Canon 7D (no battery grip) with a 17-55mm lens is a very tight fit. Placing the camera and lens into the case for the first time was a struggle but I knew the neoprene would give after some use. I am happy to report I was right. Although still tight, I haven't had the case very long and feel it will work out just fine. My suggestion if your camera is a tight fit is to give the neoprene a good stretch first.

As far as quality, the sleeve seems well constructed and the neoprene has a nice thickness. Can't beat the price.

I wanted this case to protect my DSLR while caring it in a small bag rather than lug my big camera bag around, especially when vacationing. The case is perfect for what I wanted, it doesn't add any real bulkiness to the bag but still offers some protection for the camera from scratches and the occasional light bump. Fits my Canon xsi with 18-55mm lens with room to spare. Couldn't be happier with the product.

Honest reviews on Cosmos Black/Gray DSLR Camera Protection case/Bag/Sleeve for Sony

I can't complain too much. I bought this for something lightweight to protect my camera while hiking. The case works like it is intended but in reality it is just very hard to take on/off if you are trying to use the camera every couple of minutes but protect it in between. I use a Canon rebel SL1 (smallest dSLR camera you can buy currently) with 2 different lenses:

40mm pancake lens: the case is too big

18-250mm Sigma lens: the case is a little too small. I can get it to fit, barely, but parts of the camera remain exposed.

So, it doesn't quite work out for either of my needs. The quality is good though and the design is better than other similar styles of cases so I'm still giving it 4 stars.

Again, my biggest problem is that whenever you want to use your camera, you really need to take the case off completely and either put it on the ground or stuff it in your pocket. Putting it back on requires a decent amount of work/coordination too so this isn't easy either. You need both hands available and eyes. Just be sure you consider this before buying it.

I bought this product after reading many of the reviews. I have the nikon d5200 which is pretty similar to the 3100 and the 5100 in size. The case though is ridiculously small. I have to fight to get it on and it often slips off. It also does not fully cover the back of the camera so if it did fall its not protected. I'm not using a larger lens either so its not that. Its just too snug and does not provide enough coverage. maybe its me as there are no instructions or even pictures with the product but I don't think I'm that inept at putting on a case. I'm planing to return it as it provides no use to me.

Best Leica 18730 D-LUX 6 Protector (Black) Deals

List Price: $125.00
Sale Price: $90.70

This product was a complete letdown. Something I wouldn't have expected from something carrying the Leica name and price tag.

First I'll start with the positives. The case is made of very nice leather (or leather-like material). It feels good in the hand, and makes the very slippery body of the DLUX-6 much more manageable. It also has a nice firm raised area that acts as a grip, which greatly improves the handling of the camera, and negates the need to buy the optional handgrip accessory.

That is where the positive aspects of this case end for me. My first complaint about it, is despite it being labeled as black, and despite an email to Amazon customer service confirming it is black, the case is in fact a very light tan. It's not a deal breaker, color is not important to me at all, but it's annoying that the description is incorrect, and when I inquired about it, Amazon very confidently gave me absolutely false information. While I was able to easily overlook the color issue, there are far greater concerns I have with the item. For one, when the case is on, it blocks access to everything on the bottom of the camera. There is no way to access the battery or memory card, nor is there any way to use the tripod screw while the case is on. This wouldn't prove so mind boggling to me if the case were simple to install and remove, but it is not. To put the case on you have to remove any strap thats on the camera, this is because the case is made so it tapers toward the top, and holds itself to the body of the camera using its lugs. This becomes even more inconvenient if you use the lens cap tether included with the camera. Fiddling around with camera strap buckles has never been a favorite pastime of mine, but having to do it every single time I change the battery or change memory cards is absurd. For this reason alone, the case is completely useless to me, and will be returned.

If you are someone who is also put off by the inability to access the memory card, battery, and tripod mount, I suggest you check out the Gariz XS cases available on eBay. While they don't have a grip, and don't look as refined as the Leica product, they are very useable. Access to everything on the camera, and additional lugs on the bottom of the camera for using a shoulder strap make up for what the case lacks in style.

Like the grip, but it's a pain to have to pull it off to get to the battery compartment or to the side where cords fit into the camera for downloading purposes. The strap goes through the holes in the sides to hold the protector on, so to change the battery, you have to pull the case down, get it past the strap and then try to get the battery in while holding all of it.

The user design for this very well made and very protective case is poorly thought out. While the leather is thick and the inside padding a nice extra that I did not expect, the case has to be placed on the camera first and then the camera straps deftly threaded through the strap lugs of the camera to secure this case to the camera; otherwise this protective case will fall off. In theory this sounds good but when you want to remove the SD card or battery, you have to pry out the edges of the case and then slip it down the straps part way to access the SD card and/or battery. A pain in the a$$! This case would get five-stars and must-have recommendation if Leica put snap-on tabs to secure this case to the camera as they do with the protective half-case for the X2 camera. I can only offer a tepid recommendation to buy this protective case.

Honest reviews on Leica 18730 D-LUX 6 Protector (Black)

As most photographers do, I have a variety of cameras, lenses, bags, cases, straps, etc. I try all kinds of gear out and have settled on a few different configurations that are my "go to" setups for one purpose or another. For instance, the "go to" setup to shoot surfers at Rocky Point is totally different than the "go to" setup for weddings, or the "go to" setup for everyday point-and-shoot photography.

This half-case with the Leica is my "go to" setup when I'm not carrying a full camera bag with me and photography is an afterthought for the event--not the primary purpose of the event (for instance, if I'm bringing a camera along to a dinner out with friends, I take the Leica in this case with one spare battery in my pocket--if you're reading this review, you probably know the lux6 eats batteries). In this configuration, I use a wrist tether only.

This way, I can pull the left-hand side of the case off the body and away from the camera to get access to the battery/memory card door. I leave the right-hand (grip) side of the case essentially still connected to the camera with the wrist tether cord still connected. I don't use a lens cap because I have a UV lens cover over the "real" Leica glass. Configured in this way, I'm able to make battery changes (or memory card changes, if necessary) very easily.

The lux6 is such a tiny little camera that for someone with large bear claw hands (like me) a grip is a "must have" on the camera. The grip on this case is very functional and is also beautiful. It is perfect for protecting the camera from the normal bumps and rubs of being left on a table or chair during a dinner party, etc. The leather is attractive and the whole package with the red-dot camera is classy and attractive and the whole setup doesn't look out-of-place sitting on the table in a fine dining situation the way my full-frame Canon with auxiliary battery grip, flash and giant grey lens would look in the same setting.

When I use the lux6 in an event that is primarily photography-focused I use the Leica branded black-aluminum side grip that attaches to the camera using the tripod mount threads in the bottom of the camera body. That particular standalone grip is fantastic and gives great comfort and security on the camera and also contains a female-threaded access point for a tripod to mount to, unlike the leather half-case with grip which has no tripod mounting point. Similar to the leather half case, the black-aluminum side grip also blocks access to the bottom of the camera and requires removal before one can remove the memory card or battery.

All in, this is a great grip and protection device for a majority of the times I'm using the lux6.

To protect camera but to change battery or memory card requires that your lift the camera out of the protector. However, its not a real problem if the strap is properly attached

I originally ordered this bag thinking it would work for every day use. I was surprised at how big it was when it arrived.

I love this thing! It's exactly what I wanted so I can carry my dSLR (Canon 50D) with me all the time and not need a separate purse. I molded the dividers so they hold the camera with my 28-135 lens attached, plus an extra lens, my point and shoot Canon, wallet, phone , eReader, iPod, waterproof pouch with things like pens, hand sanitizer, etc. I could also fit an extra battery, cable, and cardreader if I wanted to. It really is one bag that holds everything I need. Surprisingly, it still zips closed with all of that cargo.

It's padded enough to absorb minor bumps--better than just carrying the camera around my neck. It's easy to get the camera in and out when I want to get a shot.

I love that it's inconspicuous and doesn't even whisper "fancy camera on board." I feel like I can carry it anywhere and not draw a lot of attention. It's surprisingly comfortable even with the weight of the camera and lenses.

I'm also pleased that it's washable. I'll probably buy a second one in another color so I have one to use while the other is drying.

I bought this camera case when my first one was too small to hold everything I wanted it too. This camera case fits my camera, three lenses, a external flash, and still has room for my large wallet. It saves me from carrying my purse and camera case on shoots.

The only thing to be aware of, is that the inside has dividers that you can move around to accommodate your equipment. These dividers are stiff, hard to shape into perfect sizes. however, after a little creativity, everything works great. I am still very happy with the camera bag. plus, the black raspberry color is nice and subtle, and it doesn't scream "CAMERA CASE!"

I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I bought this package in 2008 because my husband and I were going to Hawaii in October. The waterproof case worked out perfectly! We snorkeled all over that island and got awesome pictures of all the creatures in the ocean as well as underwater pictures of our each other and our friends. Best of all there were no leaks, so my camera stayed perfectly dry! The camera case and cleaning kit were also very useful. Being on the beach the majority of my trip got a lot of sand in the cracks of my camera, but the cleaning kit took care of that problem, and the camera case was big enough I could fit my personal items as well so I didn't have to carry a purse. I would recommend this package to anyone!

Honest reviews on Underwater Case for the Following Pentax Optio Digital Cameras: S

This is a great piece of kit. It's basically a souped-up plastic bag but has a heavy-duty ziplok, a long sleeve that rolls tight and then two velcro tabs that hold the roll-up closed.

I've been using it a lot over the last two days and it has survived several runs down a log flume plus a fair old bashing around in the pool with the kids. I don't know what it's like at depth I'll give it a trial some other holiday.

The picture doesn't show it too well but the black circle actually sticks out a couple of cm to allow the lens to project when the camera is turned on. The glass at the end is very clear and doesn't hold drips. The controls are easily accessible through the plastic at the rear and the video screen is also easy to view.

All in all a great addition for the cheap family camera.

I own a Sony DHSC200 which I have fitted with an aftermarket adapter made by Digital Goja that allows me to attach filters and lenses to it. My camera would no longer fit properly in a case intended for that model once the adapter was attached and, since it attaches with set screws, I had no desire to take it off and store it elsewhere. I needed a bag that was not as large as one for a DSLR but not as small as one for a point and shoot. This bag fits my camera nicely with the first adapter ring attached (it's a two piece adapter)and a lens cap. In the bag are also two of the smallest Very Useful boxes with 4 AA batteries each in them, and the second ring of the adapter with it's lens cap. In the one small side pocket I have placed the cord used for uploading the pictures to my computer. In the front zippered pocket, I was easily able to fit my Joby sling strap, and there was adequate space to store my manual and extra lens cap in the rear velcro pocket. It was necessary only to use the two smaller dividers in the large interior cavity leaving the larger one as a spare. The strap handily accommodates my Hufa lens cap holder.

I have only two complaints about the bag. The first is the positioning of the strap mounts. While you have two choices of sets of D rings on which to clip the strap, both choices seem to be located somewhat unfortunately (one set on the back of the bag and the other rather close to one another on the top)and make the bag a touch more awkward to carry. The other complaint is that there is no carry handle on the bag. Photographers frequently shift their bags about in their cars and homes and luggage and carrying the bag by the strap makes it more likely that it will be banged about.

The most awesome feature (in my opinion) is the bright yellow interior. No, yellow is not my favorite color, but this color makes it so much easier to see/find objects in the bag.

If Amazon allowed me to give this 4.5 stars, I easily would but I do think the strap placement deserved the less than 5 star rating.

Sony LCS-GENUSKIT Digital Camera Case (Black/Grey) Review

Customer Ratings:

For a case just under $2, it's a good deal. I don't yet know what I will use it for. It is too large for a Canon Elph or Sony DSC-T9, and too small for my ultra zoom.

I will probably use it to protect some items while travelling. My Treo 650 Palm / Phone fits in it with a lot of room to spare.

The case has a belt clip on it that is not removeable. It is very tight, which is good because it's less likely to fall off. I prefer a belt loop for extra peace of mind.

So, I recommend this if you have some small items that you might want to travel with or protect, but I don't know of many cameras that would fit in it needing that much space.

Update: I have been finding uses for this. One example is coins for laundry. For $2, this is a good deal.

I've been looking for THE holster-type bag eversince I bought my camera last January 2009. I'm the type who doesn't want his camera to be dangling around his neck while not in use. Tried several holster-type bags in stores (around the $20 $30 range) and they just couldn't serve my needs. Some of the bags were too bulky, others are hard to open, and then some felt cheap and were not padded enough.

Then comes the Lowepro Toploader Pro. Note that there is another older model that doesn't have the word Pro at the end which is way bulkier than this one. So I first saw the bag in youtube and was exited to get one after seeing how the bag opens. At the time when I saw the video, the bags were not available yet so I kept on searching for it in Amazon until I was able to purchase it.

Tried my Canon XS with a 55-250 lens attached. A friend also tried his Nikon D90 with an 18-200 lens attached. Both fit perfectely and still enough room for other stuff. A camera with a battery grip could easily fit on it as well. At the top, I was able to put my 500d zoom filter, an RF remote with both transmitter and receiver, an htc touch phone, and a creative zen mosaic player. At the front, I had my lenspen and the canon battery charger. The bottom part of the bag has very thick padding which gives me the peace of mind should I drop the bag on a hard surface. The whole bag is very very well padded.

The bag came right on time, a day before we went hiking. I also bought a lens case (LC1 from lowepro) so I could carry another lens with me. The lens case was attached to the side of this bag so I didn't have to worry about it. This bag was very comfortable, I didn't feel I was carrying it (compared to my fastpack backpack). The strap goes to the opposite shoulder and it comes with a loop that goes behind the carrier to secure the bag in place and avoid it from moving around. I was able to easily take a shot and then put the camera back to the bag. In case there's a nice view that I wanted to shoot again, I could easily open the latch, flip the cover, then grab my cam. This is the main reason why I got this bag. I could now walk around with my camera inside the bag and easily grab it for fast shooting like an on the spot incident that might not happen again without having to wear my camera around my neck. The bag also serves as a leverage for my left elbow when I'm focusing on a particular subject.

One last add on to the bag is the all weather cover which slips out from the bottom. It will cover the whole bag except the back part that is against the wearer. This doesn't bother me at all as the material of the bag is somewhat water-repellant already. With the cover on, you can still open and close the bag. This is a plus when it suddenly rains or when you have the bag on a cruise, boat, or any other water activity.

Best holster-type bag, can't think of another similar product that beats this one. Can't even find one con for this bag. It's worth the price for its functionality and protection.

After hours of comparison shopping online, reading reviews, and checking internal bag dimensions among several holster/topload brands, I finally decided on the Lowepro Toploader Pro 70 AW. I was unable to preview this bag in person due to local unavailability, but I'm very pleased with the bag. The bag comfortably holds a Canon T2i 550D DSLR with the kit 18-55mm lens or the kit 55-250mm lens. I also chose this bag for the ability to add a grip to the T2i at a later date and still fit the bag. There is about a half inch of extra space below the 55-250mm lens. In order to fit the 55-250mm lens, I did remove the extra velcro divider that comes with the bag in case you are using 2 small lenses. There is still plenty of padding built into the bottom of the bag, so no worries about lens protection. The all weather cover is difficult to put on the first time, mainly just confusion about which slots fit which buckle. Subsequent attachment of the cover should be easy. The cover does allow access to all buckles and loops for continued use of the bag if desired, which I like. The cover buckle openings fit snugly and do not allow rain to pour in very easily. Mild saturation at the cover buckle slots may happen over extended periods of rain, but I'd rather have access to the camera during mild weather and simply store the bag during heavy rains. One other note about the rain cover, it only fits the bag, not the bag plus a lens case attached so plan ahead during bad weather days. In terms of functional pocket use, the pockets are good for slim items. I don't have a flash yet to test fits, but others have raised some concerns depending on which flash and have also pointed out that these new Pro models have smaller accessory pockets than past year models. I wanted a bag that fit the T2i camera with grip and lens as snugly as possible and this is it. If I need accessories, I can always attach another lens case, etc.

I originally looked at the Pro 65 AW model, but that bag would have been too small for the 55-250mm lens or extremely snug, too snug for me.

I also considered holster bags by Think Tank and Vanguard. I had concerns about the expanding bottom portion of the bag in Think Tanks Digital Holster bags. While the idea of always having the smallest bag necessary given the attached lens, I don't think the Think Tank bags padding will be as sturdy when in the extended position when compared to a big that does not extend and is always more rigid. I didn't have the chance to check this out in person, but it concerned me none the less. I would hate to put the bag down and have the force more strongly transfer to the lens than intended. User reviews about the Vanguard Uprise bags were bad in terms of camera and lens fits, often over-promising compatibility. I did not want to risk having to deal with the return process and restocking fees.

I bought this bag for my wife's Canon 50D with battery grip with 28-135 lens. This bag handles the size and weight of the camera very well. The new shoulder strap secures the bag comfortably and the bag has enough pockets to carry a day's worth of batteries, cards, and even a strobe. I would recommend this bag to anyway wanting a walk around bag.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Toploader Pro 70 AW

I bought this bag to carry my Nikon D700 w/battery grip mated with Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens.

Overall it's very nice bag but wish that it had little more room for ease of use. I had to take out bottom pad to make a room to put my camera setup.

I bought this shield for my Canon SD800IS, and I am glad I did. It does indeed provide invisible protection, but it is not accurate to call it "full body." I would say more like 80% coverage.

There are parts of the back, bottom, and sides that do not get covered. Some of them might have been too tricky to design or apply, but I think at least they could have included coverage for the upraised rectangle that surrounds the LCD screen on the back. That is an area vulnerable to scratches that I would have liked protection for. And I don't think it would have been very difficult to apply on the camera.

Speaking of application: not for the impatient! There are about 7-8 pieces to apply, and they require careful finger-eye coordination. This is especially true for the large wrap-around piece that goes over most of the front and parts of the side and top of the camera body. This was the final piece I applied, wanting to give myself some practice with the smaller, more straight-forward pieces. Besides which, there were no detailed instructions about the application process for my particular camera just a general set of directions about how to use the liquid spray in conjunction with the film.

It's been a couple of months since I did this, but I believe I worked between 45-60 minutes getting the entire shield applied. The end result: even with a lot of use, my camera still looks brand new.
