I got this for carry-around purposes, for protection-in-another-bag.
It holds my Nikon D90 and the kit 18-105 lens perfectly. I like the added protection for the front element. It's good for when I want to carry a backpack and put my camera in it with some protection from dings and dust.
It won't provide major protection, but it fits into my Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home with the case just like it would without the case, when I want more protection.
One drawback is the velcro hooks on the fastening catch on the connector strap.
Also, you should use the plastic hot-shoe cover, since I put a hole in the cover when it caught on the hot-shoe rail.
I wish it has a built-in cap holder inside of the case. Great product overall! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. It fits my canon 7D with a 15-85mm lens no problem. I just wanted something to protect the camera while it was in a backpack. It is a little tough getting it on and off due to the tight fit, so if you want fast access to the camera this may not be the case for you. It may stretch out and allow for faster access in the future, not sure though. Overall, very happy with the product.

Best Samsonite i-Zone Camera Bag (Silver) Deals
If you've owned cameras, you figured there's always a case to safeguard it, since they are quite fragile devices. It was about time I-zone had finally come up with one of its own. This silver-toned case is great for lugging around your I-zone camera, while providing the protection it needs -and, not to mention keeping your camera free of wear and damage in a cute and stylish way. If you own one, this case is a must-have. It's a sure way to leave your camera scratch-, chip-, and dent-free. Think of it as a small insurance for your I-zone!
The design is cute and sleak, which is nice since camera bags are so often clunky.
With proper packing, the bag can even hold an extra film roll beneath the camera. Or it can hold spare batteries if you think you need them (I never had to replace the batteries in my camera for the year that I used it regularly). The bag has little room for extras, so make use of the space in the way that you think makes the most sense.

This is a very nice quality camera bag for the I-Zone Polaroid cameras, but it will not fit the digital/polaroid combo. The price is excellent, the quality superb, but I will probably break even by sending it back and paying shipping costs.Best Deals for Samsonite i-Zone Camera Bag (Silver)

I don't know why Amazon paired DicaPac WP710 with Lumix DMC-FZ28K. (1) DicaPac WP is way too small for Lumix DMC-FZ28, only hold a mini camera/ (2) The picture showed is total misleading, the real product is a flat plastic bag, is not the one in the picture.
I dropped this product one star because the directions could be a little clearer (worth watching the video online) and because they did not include extra silica-gel packets which would be useful for humid climates. Make sure you size the bag correctly. Mine was perhaps a little bigger than it needed to be. Otherwise snorkelers should buy this.
The case was extremely easy to use and didn't leak a single drop. I even dove down 10-12ft and shot some videos.
The best feature of this bag is that it keeps your camera afloat. While swimming, I didn't notice that the camera wasn't around my neck anymore. Got on the boat and found the bag floating in the water. Without the bag, the camera would've definitely been lost.

This is an excellent product that works as advertised. I used it several times while snorkeling in Mexico, going in and out of the water multiple times in a day. There was never a drop of leaked water, even when I skin-dived down. The pictures taken through the polycarbonate lens were clear, the bag was far less bulky than a hard-shell case and easy to swim with, and the leash made sure it didn't get away from me. I will definitely use it on all future snorkeling trips.I dropped this product one star because the directions could be a little clearer (worth watching the video online) and because they did not include extra silica-gel packets which would be useful for humid climates.

I never used this. It was not large enough for my Lumix camera, which is fairly small. The problem was the lens extends from the body once you turn the camera on, it has a 12X optical zoom lens. The extending lens did not fully extend and thankfully Panasonic built a sensor into the camera and turned the camera off when it hit too much resistance. The company I purchased this from readily allowed me to return it for another on. I chose not to return it but use it for other things instead.Honest reviews on DicaPac WP710 10.5 X 16.0 CM Small Inner Zoom Alfa Waterproof

Cheap Zeikos ZE-CA68B Deluxe photo and video camera bag -Black
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $15.19
Today's Bonus: 62% Off

Great deluxe bag for all your camera goodies. Make sure and know what the measurements are before you buy. Check out my video review.
This is the only bag which appeared to have all the features of a "pro" bag, but was decently priced.
I guess you get what you pay for...
So, as a quality engineering person, let me review the bag in such terms:
Functionality:
The bag is long enough to hold a Canon XF 100, a shotgun microphone.
It has two side pockets and I was barely able to fit the absolutely necessary accessories e.g., the power supply
I found the internal "net pocket" to be well designed.
Liked the 2 adjustable straps
Liked the fact that the bag is "configurable" i.e., you can create compartments by moving the padding around on the Velcro.
Definitely no room for the tele-converter
However, it is not tall enough to hold the assembled microphone holder and not wide enough for any accessories or a medium silica gel bag!
Usability:
The basic design is quite good, and I like the way the bag opens
But the bag is waaaaaaay too small!
Even the shoulder strap is waaaay to small!!
Performance/Durability:
The material is quite strong and appears to be water-proof.
I also found that the stitching is quite good
Price:
There is simply nothing else for this price. The other brands e.g., APE, TAMRAC, etc. are all at least double -
Overall, I would recommend the bag, but marginally. If you can disassemble the microphone holder from your camcorder, and if you carry few accessories, it may be for you.

Discount Lowepro Lens Trekker 600 AW II Backpack (Black)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $239.99
Sale Price: $164.49
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

In search of a flexible travel bag for a Canon 500mm F4 with body attached, I compared the Lowe Lens Trekker 600 AW II and the Tamrac 5793 Super Telephoto Lens Pack as both bags have been rated highly by various reviewers. I particularly wanted a bag suitable for airline travel. As I soon realized, there are substantial differences between the two bags that I will highlight. Size: The Lowe is a BIG bag; the interior volume is almost 1.5X the interior volume of the Tamrac. The interior dimensions are 23.5x9x8 for a volume of about 1692 cu in. In comparison, the Tamrac inside is 20x8x7 for a volume of about 1120 cu in. The Lowe is 25 inches tall; the Tamrac is 22 inches tall. With the lens hood in the retracted position, the 500 mounted to both a 1.4X converter and the body fit quite nicely in the Tamrac with about an inch of extra room at the top, but not enough room inside or in exterior pockets for other lenses. In contrast the Lowe is cavernous. With the 500 plus body (no converter) inside, and an adjustable padded shelf in place above the body, there was 360 cu in remaining above the shelf enough for a 70-200 Canon F2.8 Mk II in a padded case. The only pocket on the outside of the Lowe (except for the rain cover pocket) is 10 inches tall and deep enough for a lens; a 24-105 Canon zoom fit easily. With the 500mm lens in the bag, there is a lot of space around the lens enough room for a sweatshirt or fleece if desired. It was even possible to put additional lenses around 500 albeit with minimal padding. Personally I wouldn't recommend it. Amazingly, the 500 mm lens with body mounted and lens hood in the extended position, also fits in this bag. Some comments about design features. The Tamrac has a lighter weight suspension that is still comfortable and sufficient given the bag volume. I found the hip pads to be rather small. The Lowe has a very substantial suspension system comparable to that on some mid-weight hiking packs easily enough to comfortably carry 40 lbs some distance. I am 6'1'' and found the back to ride a bit high on my body. Not perfect but OK. Both packs have sternum straps which will prevent the pack from slipping off your shoulders. The rear zipper on the Tamrac retracts to within 7 inches of the bottom of the pack, which made it quite easy to slide the lens into place. The zippers on the Lowe retract to within 12 inches of the bottom, which made it a little difficult to insert and remove my equipment. Zippers on the Lowe are robust; the Tamrac has a smaller gauge zipper but still sufficient. There are notable differences in side wall thickness. Using a caliper, I measured the side walls of the Lowe at 0.5 in; the Tamrac side walls are 1 in. thick! The top handle of the Lowe is ample, secure and adjustable. The top handle of the Tamrac is not adjustable and, disappointingly, was too small to insert my hand fully. The Lowe has 10 webbing loops on either side of the bag to which alpine quality carabiners could be attached and there are also two 2-inch D-rings on either side. The Tamrac has a single webbing loop attachment point. However, I would not use it to lift or haul the pack because it is on the zippered portion of pack. The Lowe has tripod attachment points on both side walls while the Tamrac has a single set of attachment points centered on the back wall of the pack. A pocket below the attachment points is designed to hold the base of one or more tripod legs thereby preventing slippage. The Tamrac is compatible with a range of branded modular pockets that can be attached to either side of the pack. Both packs come with rain covers. The Tamrac has two moderate sized external flat pockets that are suitable only for flat items, for example, they definitely will not accommodate a 1.4X converter. The Tamrac does have two additional mesh pockets that could hold short lenses but without much, or any, padding depending on the lens diameter. Both packs have numerous memory storage pockets inside the pack. Another substantial design difference is the cradle for securing the lens and body inside the pack. Tamrac uses an adjustable cradle pad to which the equipment is secured with a set of Velcro straps. Easy to use and secure. Lowe uses an adjustable cradle pad system. One half of the pad system is secured to the interior wall of the bag. Once the equipment is inserted into the bag it is secured against the back pad with another pad that fastens to the first pad with Velcro and is also secured to the back of the bag when the back flap is zipped shut. Although this cradle might provide a bit more cushioning and security than the Tamrac cradle pad, I found it a bit cumbersome to use because it is necessary to carefully match the small Velcro strips when the two pads come together to secure the equipment.
Both packs have their strengths. For my purposes, I favor the Tamrac because: 1) the size is matched well to the lens and body, 2) the zipper retracts to 7 inches, 3) the walls have thicker padding, 4) it is easy to quickly load and unload the equipment, and 5) it will fit easier in most overhead baggage compartments (although it might be a challenge on some regional jets) and in a pinch it could go under a seat. It was also evident that for hauling a greater volume of equipment or for trekking/expeditions, the Lowe has some great features and is a sturdy and worthy bag.

Haven't tried it in the field, but it's a great pack to secure the 500mm f4 while transporting. Have been using an oversized duffle bag with towels for padding, so this is quite an improvement. I don't think it'd be good for a 600mm, my 500 barely fits with the 1.4x on it. I will have to take the hood off to ensure the camera, extender and lens fit into the pack. It appears it will work for me.

Overall a decent product but note that the padded portion of the waistbelt stops many (5") inches from my hip pointers on my 38" waist. Not so good for long hikes if you've loaded the bag up. Amazingly it's the only one on the market that I could find that takes my 500mm + extenders + pro body + a few odds and ends.

Review of Fujifilm X100s Leather Case for Camera (Brown)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $95.91
Today's Bonus: 26% Off

I really bought this for the half case, with the thought that I'd use the top half to protect the camera in a bag/suitcase during travel. As a half case, it's awesome. Some thoughts:
The leather and craftsmanship is much nicer than I expected. In the pictures, the leather looks sort of flat like vinyl, but it's actually pretty nice, thick leather with very even stitching and a good liner. Not much of a distinct grain, but for a mass-produced case, that's not surprising.
Some reviews say that there is no access to the battery/SD card, however mine has a snugly closing snap-flap that opens on the bottom to permit access, so I'm guessing they received an older model? The box mine came in says "X100 or X100s", I'd be curious if theirs just said "X100"?
Fit is wonderful. Very snug and secure....just as one would hope from the OEM.
I haven't used the included neck strap yet because I think the one that came with the camera is just fine, but hey...it's included if you want it (although no new snap-rings or protectors...just the strap, so you'll have to use the old ones that came with the camera).
It is true, that with an adapter ring and a filter, the top is a snug fit. I have the JJC adapter ring and a thin UV filter mounted, and the top flap closes just barely (forget about a lens cap). It would be a better fit without the filter (there'd be just enough room for the adapter ring). So if you absolutely need a full enclosure case, AND an adapter ring, AND a filter, AND a lens cap, look elsewhere. But, if you are really looking for a nice half case with the option of the top half to occasionally stow the camera in a bag, I think this will work just fine.
True, it has no tripod mount, but frankly, if you do a lot of work with a tripod (macro, landscape, etc), then chances are that you bought a different camera. For me, the case allows the camera to sit flatly and very stably on a surface for the occasional group picture, and that's good enough for me.
One oddity. On most "ever-ready cases" that I've had on vintage cameras, the top flips/folds over the front of the camera and hangs down while taking a picture. On this camera, the top half flips/folds over the back of the camera (towards the photographer)...which means it's a little more in the way when taking a picture. Again...for anyone who needs to always use the top half, this may be a problem, but for someone looking for a half case with the option for occasional greater protection, it's fine.
Note that the upper section will NOT be able to fit over the camera if you have the LX-X100 lens hood and adapter ring installed on your X100/X100S.
High quality and good fit.
Protects whole body (especially rear screen) when in bag.
Handy flap on bottom that allows fast access to battery and SD card.
Cons:
Lacks character. Leather and stitching is dyed a very generic shade of dark brown.
Won't fit on camera with the Fuji adapter ring.
A bit expensive (although a better fit than the cheaper leather cases out there)

Case is functional, cute and light, but just a little larger than it needs to be for the camera size.

Stiff enough to protect the camera in my purse. Not enough extra room for the lanyard, but the two-zipper feature allows me to keep the lanyard on the camera and let it hang outside the case.Best Deals for Slim Camera Case for Exilim Ex-s10 Ex-z80 Ex-s880 Ex-z77 Ex-v8
This is an outstanding padded hard shell case for the camera it was intended for. Everything is a custom fit. The camera snugs into one side and is strapped in (Velcro) to keep from accidentally falling out when the case is opened. The other side holds extra batteries and memory cards. The clip for your belt/purse is substantial, as is the double-slide zipper. It's available in a host of colors, but I chose the blue, which is excellent (matches my eyes). My wife loves this camera and the case, and it goes everywhere with her. The function choices are easy to select from a icon menu. The only drawback? The function buttons are tiny and you have to memorize what they're for through trial and error. Nothing bad happens if you push the wrong button, though. You have to try really hard to make an inadvertent error. As a case for you Exilim Ex-s10, this is an excellent choice.Honest reviews on Slim Camera Case for Exilim Ex-s10 Ex-z80 Ex-s880 Ex-z77 Ex-v8

My friend had this case when we were traveling together last winter. When she opened her camera case on the bus, the SD cards stashed inside fell out and she nearly lost them. Look for a camera case with separate compartments for both batteries and SD cards.Honest reviews on Airform Carrying Case for Canon Powershot A1000 Is and A2000 Is
Excellent case. Perfect for my camera and I really like the "stuff" it is made of.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Airform Carrying Case for Canon Powershot A1000 Is and A2000 Is
The case is small, but protects the camera well. I liked the idea of a "hard" type of case for the small Canon camera we bought. It easily fits into my wife's purse and does its intended purpose, but has absolutely no space for anything else (like spare batteries, or even a spare memory card). A good product overall, but I would probably buy the Samsonite one I had before as it had plenty of places for other miscellaneous camera items.Tuesday, August 5, 2014
Discount Tamrac 5514 Adventure Zoom 4 (Red/Black)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $36.95
Sale Price: $29.95
Today's Bonus: 19% Off

The item was the perfect size for my Olympus E510 with either of the zoom lenes I carry. Has zipper and snap for a positive latch.
Photographers who use an R-Strap, are probably aware that extra space is required to accommodate this setup. While this case probably can accommodate an SLR with an R-Strap attached, the extra space required by the R-Strap means the attached lens would probably need to be quite short. If you do use one of the various versions of the R-Strap, then you might want to take a look at a slighter larger Adventure Zoom 5 holster.
The Zoom 4 has a single accessory compartment located in the front. About four inches high, it has an internal pocket designed to carry a spare memory card or battery. There are no pockets on the sides, instead there are nylon strap provisions for Tamrac's SAS (Strap Accessory System) components. The lid of the main compartment has a set of double zippers, with an overhanging cover for added protection. Tamrac offers the case in two color schemes.
The Zoom 4 has a carrying handle on top, belt loops, and a detachable shoulder strap. Tamrac's standard handle is very secure, with webbing for a better grip. There are two 3 inch high belt loops, which are very securely attached to the case. Although the connector fittings on the bag are metal, the connectors on the shoulder strap are plastic. While the chances that one of these plastic connectors might fail may be small, if it does happen and your camera is damaged, you will probably regret not replacing the standard shoulder strap with one that has metal connectors. Putting the customer's gear at risk, just to save a few bucks, seems to be a questionable decision by Tamrac.
I own a lot of Tamrac products, and the brand seems to have some characteristic traits. One is great build quality. The durability of Tamrac products, is the main reason I choose them. Unfortunately Tamrac products often suffer from some major design flaws, often in some very fundamental areas. In the case of Zoom 4, the belt loops are too loose, and located too low. When the holster is attached to a belt, the location of the belt loops is below the center of gravity of the rig. This causes the top of the holster to lean forward, away from the body, and the lens to dig into the body. This is uncomfortable, and makes getting to the camera more difficult. If you put the holster on your hip, the effect is less severe. However if you put the holster directly in the front of your body, it will angle down toward your groin (not a good thing). Put it in the middle of your back, and it rides into your butt cheeks.
To be fair, the center of gravity issue is common to many holsters, particularly those that are smaller, like this one. Still, the proper thing for Tamrac to do would be to try and minimize the problem and locate the belt loops as close to the top of the holster as possible, and not make them 3 inches wide, which creates excessive play. When I see some of the dumb things that Tamrac's design department comes up with, I really wonder how much research and product testing they really do.
A major advantage of a triangular shaped holster, is that it is usually the smallest case you can carry. While a holster is great for those times when you just need a minimal amount of gear, it unfortunately advertises that you are carrying a camera. If you do need a holster, this one is durable, but is not a good choice for those intend to attach it to a belt, and maybe for those that are R-Strap users. Poor design elements, and cheapo plastic parts reduce my rating to just three stars.
I have used this bag both as for general store of the camera and when going on places to take snapshots in general. When I go hiking during the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage in the Smokey Mountains National Park I mount it on the Tamrac M.A.S. web belt hostler style along with other pouches for the short half-day hikes.
As a footnote I also own the Tamrac 5513, which is the next size down. This is too small for the above camera/lens set-up. However I believe that it would work if the K10D was coupled with one of the smaller DA limited lens like the DA 40mm f/2.8, DA 70mm F/2.4, or 21mm f/3.2. I cannot guarantee the longer of the two lenses I have mention here, as I do not own any of these. But from what I can tell about the photographs I have seen of the DA 40mm f/2.8 and how short it is when mounted on the camera, this setup should fit fairly nicely in the 5513.

Tamrac's Adventure Zoom series cases are triangular shaped holster style bags of various sizes. Fairly typical for Tamrac products, the #5514 Adventure Zoom 4 is solidly constructed using high quality materials, that with one exception, provides good basic protection for a SLR with a small lens attached. The bag has a layer of light padding in the 6.5 inch deep main compartment. Camera sizes vary, but the case will probably accommodate an SLR with a normal strap, with a lens up to about 4 inches long.Photographers who use an R-Strap, are probably aware that extra space is required to accommodate this setup.

Fits my Nikon D40 with the 18-105 fine, is a little snug with the 10-24, due to it's 77mm filter size. I use it while mtn biking, and it took a tumble out of my pack while heading down the trail. Camera was ok, shattered the UV filter, otherwise was fine and am still using the camera and bag. (1/2011) I primarily use the quick buckle on the front as the zipper is difficult to use quickly, especially with gloves on. This leaves slight gaps on the sides as the bag isn't stiff enough to keep it covered when unzipped. Otherwise great minimalist bag for the dslr user.Honest reviews on Tamrac 5514 Adventure Zoom 4 (Red/Black)
I purchased this camera bag and can say that I am glad I did. It can be used with its shoulder strap or you have the option of using it as a camera holster bag with the Tamrac belt that makes up the M.A.S. system. This bag accommodates my Pentax K10D and the DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens with no problem, through it is on the snug side especially if you have the hood cover on the lens mounted. There is plenty of room in the small front pouch for a spare filter, SD card, and spare camera battery.I have used this bag both as for general store of the camera and when going on places to take snapshots in general.

This bag fits my Olympus E520 perfectly with the 18-180 lens on the camera. It is well cushioned and I am confident it will protect the camera from bumps and other insults. It seems waterproof as well but I don't intend to test that feature. Overall very well constructed.Saturday, June 28, 2014
MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $49.99
Sale Price: $35.99
Today's Bonus: 28% Off

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

List Price: $14.99

Bought this for the G10 of course and it's legit. It's a little more expensive than other options, but for something that will protect your screen better than the others and has a lifetime warranty for me, you can't go wrong... especially when you compare it to the cost of the camera!! Small price to pay for a lot of extra insurance to protect your investment.
I watched the videos at Invisible Shield's website and it sold me. I also searched for reviews on the internet, and the ONLY thing "bad" about this product is that it's a pain to install for some devices... but thankfully for the G10 it's REALLY easy since the screen is only a small area with no curves. It took me 5 minutes before bedtime and it was ready to go in the morning.
If you're picky about protecting your LCD screen, this is a GREAT product. I'm even thinking about getting one for my iPod and ditching the neoprene case it's in!
Well, the replacement product arrived in a couple of days. Adorama and the product earn Five Stars.

Don't hesitate to buy this product. I have them on my iPods, G1 Cell phone, and Canon G10. They have been protecting my iPod screen for over three years. It didn't roll up or look cloudy and scratched like some of the other screen protectors I have tried. I highly recommend Invisible Shield screen protectors. They are a good value considering that they last and last.Best Deals for ZAGG invisibleSHIELD for Canon PowerShot G10 (Screen)
I ordered ShieldZone for my Canon S90's LCD screen. The S90 has the same size screen as the Canon G10. I received the item promptly from Adorama by mail. That is the end of the good news. The item was just as shown on the Amazon website but when I examined the contents I found that it contained only one of the expected two screen protectors and an empty plastic bottle of Shieldspray(tm). I called Adorama and reported the missing items and they said that a new ShieldZone would be sent to me. I'll rewrite my recommendation when all is okay.Well, the replacement product arrived in a couple of days. Adorama and the product earn Five Stars.

May have been my fault, but had a so much trouble installing it that I gave up. Bubbles, sizing and also it was used on a G12. Done right, the construction seems superior.
