This carrying case was purchased to hold my new Canon Powershot SD880 IS. The camera fits snugly into the case with no issues. The case also has a tiny pouch to store an additional memory card. In my mind, the price of this carrying case is its strength. The competitive product I looked at was a fancy leather model four four times higher price. It's a carrying case for goodness sake, not a fashion statement.

Cheap Precision Design Compact Digital Padded Carrying Case for Canon
I have been looking far and wide for the perfect case for my Canon Powershot SD780, and finally found it. It is snug enough that my camera doesn't wiggle, get not too snug that it's hard to put in and take out. There is a nice inside pouch for a spare battery, and two separated smaller pouches for extra SD cards. It can be slipped through a belt, or used with it's attached wrist strap. However, there is a nice ring on the back where you can clip your own neck strap to it if you wish. It is very soft inside, to cushion the camera. I also like the styling: professional, yet modern. The compact size is definitely a plus, and fits into my purse without taking up too much room! You can't go wrong with this one!

Best Tenba Shootout™ Shoulder Bag - Small Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $162.00
Sale Price: $95.00
Today's Bonus: 41% Off

The bag is too small if you have more than 1 zoom lens. The camera can only sit back down (lens up), and no side access. Zippers are weather proof, but difficult to open & shut.
As mentioned, the zippers are a bit stiff, but they are also waterproof, which is a plus, as I sometimes work outdoors in changing weather. If I am working with the bag, it will either be open, or just clipped shut.
This bag can take a lenses up to about 9 inches long, but my prime 300 is just over 10 inches and will not fit.
The design of it is well thought out, and the materials seem to be top notch, although I would like slightly deeper side pockets.

I was looking for a smallish bag for a micro 4/3 and a couple of lenses (none long),plus the usual items (filters,cards,batteries,etc.).Though I like sling bags,I couldn't match size and function.I have a Tenba bag for stands,and liked it,so I thought I'd try this small shoulder bag.I was very pleased to find the quality of this bag,and its features.Hardware is excellent and the straps are generous and sturdy.The top opening has a sealing zipper that I've not seen before.I have other weatherproof bags that rely on welting to cover the zipper,but these tend to snag on the corners. There is an alternate fastener to use if the zipper is too slow to open.Side and front pockets are useful,and there is a built-in card slot array as well as two tethered nylon card safes,and AA battery loops.On either side,there are straps for attach accessory carriers,and straps on the bottom for a tripod.Under the main compartment is a waterproof cover,and on the back is a place for an ipad and if the bottom is unzipped,it will slide unto a wheeled case handle.Great,thoughtful features in a useful small bag.I should mention it is well-padded. It could use another divider (I have a few of those from other bags),and it is a little on the heavy side,but all things considered,it's one of the best-designed and constructed bags I've used.Best Deals for Tenba Shootout™ Shoulder Bag - Small
I got this bag a couple of days ago to go on a trip. My primary goal was to find a bag that would easily fit under the seat in front of me, and accommodate a new longer zoom that does not fit well in my older small bag. Inside, it is of a good size, and with some spare dividers, I am able to carry 4 lenses and a body. The two larger ones stand up, and the two smaller ones lay down under the body. With a slightly different layout, I could also carry 2 bodies and 2 lenses, or 2 lenses and a body with a lens on it.As mentioned, the zippers are a bit stiff, but they are also waterproof, which is a plus, as I sometimes work outdoors in changing weather. If I am working with the bag, it will either be open, or just clipped shut.

Reviews of Riva 7062 (PU) Digital Camera slim hard case light blue
This case was purchased for use with a CoolPix S570 camera. The slim design of the case protected the camera without adding substantially to the bulk. The quality seems very good. Just keep in mind it is designed to protect the camera, not for carrying accessories (although there is a slot inside the case where an additional memory card can be stored maybe even an extra battery, but I would refrain form that use as it puts pressure on the camera).

I also like the clasp, so that I can attach it to the outside of my handbag if I want to. Zipper closure on both sides. This order came with a Screen Guard and a 4GB Memory Card. Nice!!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program
QUICK SUMMARY: See my video review! Excellent, professional-grade photographer's DSLR travel bag is rugged and tricked-out to the max. Aside from it's rather heavy weight and high cost, there's not much to dislike. Recommended!
WHAT I LIKED:
Tricked-out to stow lots of camera accessories, including even a nice 15" laptop sleeve (which I didn't show off in my video review) and pouch
Shoulder harness permits toting photographic equipment wherever wheels won't roll
Weatherproofed so expensive equipment won't likely get water damaged, even in a downpour
Versatile and customizeable to fit your unique travel needs
WHAT I DISLIKED:
It's heavy enough that, once fully loaded, it would be difficult to stow this bag in an airplane overhead bin
The tightness of the zippers can make it difficult to zip/unzip around the bag's corners
I disliked the spring-loaded, extensible handle which I fear will spring out of the bag unexpectedly
CONCLUSION:
I'm not a professional (or even semi-professional) photographer, but if I were, this travel case would be a terrific investment to safely stow and move my equipment to various shooting locations. But it won't replace a very lightweight, compact camera case that you'll also need and want.
Lost one star because it's only going to qualify as carry on with a few airlines. It's diameter of 28.5cm runs pretty close to many of the domestic and budget airlines which have a 24cm, it's over an inch too much. Not much but enough for the stricter airline staff to be a pain and create problems, especially if you use the laptop part for other bits that aren't a nice flat laptop.
Lost another star because it lacks a few external pockets. As a full time photographer/videographer i find myself needing a place to put a bunch of keys, quick access to batteries, memory cards etc, it would be great if like a few other bags it had these, specifically i'm thinking of the Tamrac 5587. Basically i need a Tamrac 5587 with wheels and slightly less 'expedition' straps.
The way i work especially at weddings is a bit of city (wheels are great for this) then a bit of beach, forest, stairs (rucksack is great for this), it's ideal but i wish they would stick some external pockets on it and how about 2 tripod holders, one on either side. Now i'm being fussy, but most photog's i know use a monopod and tripod.
This product can either be rolled or used as a conventional backpack. There is some padding between the backpack and your body which makes it more comfortable. The three piece telescoping handle is sturdy. When you're not using the backpack straps they can be secured behind the padding and are almost not visible. The interior is configurable to accommodate your needs.
OK, there is one thing that concerns me. I just got back from a trip and compared the depth of the Pro Runner x350 to my normal carry-on luggage. The manufacturer claims it is 13" deep which is fine; however, if you fill it up, the depth is over 14" (which exceeds the airline's maximum depth). On a 737, this will be a very tight fit in the overhead compartment when fully loaded because the opening is about 14".
The construction is excellent and the materials are top quality. There are heavy-duty zippers and Fastex straps to secure the main compartment. The laptop bag fits my Dell 15.4" laptop perfectly. You're still going to have to remove the laptop for the TSA agents. BTW: They confiscated a can of tuna saying that it was a liquid -Geniuses! They also took my insect repellant claiming it was a poison (TO BUGS -Hello). But I digress...
I'm used to a larger pack so the Pro Runner X350 seems a little small. If you need more room, take a look at the Lowepro Pro Runner x450 AW DSLR Backpack (Black) which is considerably larger and not that much more expensive.
Once I got it, I instantly realized this would be terrible to carry on your back since it is so heavy, even without anything in it. The rolling part is OK but I feel the handle is a bit weak. So if I was going to be rolling it all the time and not carrying it on my back, I would rather get a better roller bag and drop the backpack part all together.
I returned the item for this reason alone. Aside from the backpack / roller part, this bag is the good quality you would expect from Lowepro. A lot of space, good compartments, etc. I just wanted to give my input on the whole rolling bit.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have a Lowepro Vertex 300 AW Backpack which easily holds two bodies, a lot of lenses and a lot of accessories but it doesn't have wheels.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Pro Runner x350 AW DSLR Backpack (Black)
This bag is perfect for me. It holds 2 Canon 5D bodies and multiple lenses and flashes (plus all the batteries, chargers, CF cards, etc) and fits my Macbook Pro (15 in) as well. There is an inner cushion zippered pocket for the laptop so it feels safe/secure and I like that the laptop compartment is in the front so at airport security I can just whip it out quickly. It rolls well and fits into the overhead compartments just fine (I was worried about it because it is pretty thick.) I loved the backpack option for when you have another bag with you and need freedom of your hands (and for the bus, shuttle, taxi, etc.) I'm a 5'7 female so it does feel quite bulky on my back but it's not horrible for short term. I was debating between this and the ThinkTank Take-Off and I'm glad I saved myself $70 bucks plus some shipping because this works out perfectly for what I need.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lowepro Pro Runner x350 AW DSLR Backpack (Black)

Buy ONA The Bowery Camera Bag and Insert, Smoke Leather
The ONA bag is well finished and great for a small camera such as a micro four-thirds and a few lenses. The only thing I would have liked was a strap handle on the top of the bag. It's easy to pick it up by the shoulder strap, but I get nervous about picking up camera bags by the shoulder strap. I've been known not to fasten the top of the bag, if I forgot and picked the bag by the shoulder strap, everything spills out. A handle on the top of the bag gives you feedback real quick if you hadn't fastened the bag. Beyond that, it's very well built, hangs well, and looks great.

I read the reviews -which all seemed to say you could fit an SLR with lens attached and an additional lens in the main compartment -so I purchased this bag hoping I could fit more than one lens. This bag would work well for a crop sensor camera. I have a full frame (5D Mark II) and I can only fit the camera with 16-35mm wide angle attached. It's very tight with the strap attached to the camera, so I've been using my camera with no strap when I carry it in this bag. It's very cute and stylish though.Best Deals for ONA The Bowery Camera Bag and Insert, Smoke Leather
I have been through several camera bags in search of the perfect one. This bag is my favorite. The quality is exceptional and beautiful. It is sturdy and feels comfortable carrying it across the body. It is a little small for my Nikon D700 the front bulges out and I had to adjust the strap to be able to close it. It would be perfect if it was just a little deeper. I'm still keeping it. I can fit the camera with lens attached and an extra lens.Friday, October 10, 2014
Review of VIDPRO VID-80 CAMERA BAG AND DIGITAL CAMERA BAG
I hate to rip on items, but this bag is awful. I wound up giving it away for nothing and buying a much nicer bag for less.
Disregard the picture, this bag is not the well-constructed, rugged leather bag you think you see. It's light, flimsy and feels very cheap.
The worst part is the main zipper that (allegedly) holds this bag closed, supposedly securing your valuable camera. I had this bag less than ONE week before the zipper quit holding. You know the deal, the teeth come apart and the zipper is hopelessly stuck in the middle. Tug it back and try again, same thing. Why, why, why do companies make products this poorly???
Stay far away from this bag. I hate to give this type of review, but I got burned on this one. Don't make the same mistake.
Having said this, the bag did do the job, and do it well for two years. It carried the following:
Nikon D90 gripped
Nikon 50mm F/1.8
Nikon 70-300 F/4-5.6G
Sigma 105mm F/2.8 Macro
Sigma 10-20 F/4-5.6
Nikon 20-80 F/3.3-5.6 in side pocket
Nikon SB-600 in front pocket
Card Reader, 67mm CPOL filter in other side pocket
So it carried quite a lot while it lasted. It was insanely easy to carry around and the top pocket made for easy access to camera goods. Unfortunately, my equipment has grown too extensive to fit in this bag (and one of the straps on the sling strap broke =/), so I have to get a new one. Ive had a larger, professional bag while I had this one andn chose to carry this one because it was so easily portable and accessable. Be warned, though. If you dont really baby your equipment, this one might not last you too long. Just dont go throwing knives and razors at it and it should do the job quite nicely.
Hope this helped!

I hope that the bag is nowadays still the same quality.
I have never had any other bag for my camera, so can't really compare it with other bags.

I got this bag free with a purchase of something from Ebay almost two years ago. As for construction quality, it feels really cheap. The 'pleather' its made of is extremely thin and ripable. This is a good thing sometimes, though as the bag will readily fold up for easy storage. Within two months of carrying the bag, the part where the handles connected to the top of the bag ripped. They were still connected at the sides, but it was a very unsightly thing. There's almost no padding in the bag, so I took out the dividers and laid them on the bottom for padding.Having said this, the bag did do the job, and do it well for two years.

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)

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.

This is a nice case with a "retro Leica" feel. The upper "flap" has a magnetic clasp, and can be completely removed if you just want to use the camera with the lower section and the neck strap.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.

Perfect fit for my x100s. Leather has very nice color and finish and appears that it will be very durable. Will most likely use as a half-case as I keep filter and lens hood on the camera.Honest reviews on Fujifilm X100s Leather Case for Camera (Brown)
Will only work if you add NO protective filter (even an extremely low-profile one) to your X100s. The fit and workmanship are very good, but I just don't like the idea of an unprotected lens.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Fujifilm X100s Leather Case for Camera (Brown)
Pros: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)

Buy Lowepro Fastpack 250-Red
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $70.49
Today's Bonus: 46% Off

I am extremely pleased with this camera bag. At first I thought it might be a little too big for my needs. I wanted a day pack that I could get my Nikon D200 with 18-200mm lens attached plus carry my 70-300mm and lensbaby but not be a huge backback. It ends up this pack was the perfect size.
Pros
camera on the bottom of the pack for weight distribution
side opening for easy access to camera. Can slip the camera in and out without opening up the whole pack
pockets in the front for accessories like extra batteries and flash cards
zipper side for lap top is next to your back (I use this compartment to stick my wallet in and push it to the far side so it is more secure)
zippered compartment that will take a light weight jacket along with pockets for cell phone, pens, and keys
another compartment which I can put some snacks in
a side mesh pocket for a water bottle
Cons
as others have mentioned on Lowepro packs, no attachment for carrying a tripod
would like a few more velcro compartments on the flip side where the other velcro pockets are
would like a little more depth on mesh pocket for the water bottle
wish it came with a rain cover
I also like the fact that when you take it off and set it down it stays upright. I wore it all day (of course the camera was around my neck which made the pack pretty light) and it was very comfortable. Excellent construction and excellent price for what you get.
Very quick in using due to the side access to the main camera pocket.
Comfortable for long outdoor trips. Camera weight is at the bottom and all weight is adjusted well with the waist strap.
Very spacious from inside. Ample space for D60, 2 lenses, 1 camcorder, 1 flash, charger-power cable-USB cable.
Adjustable pockets with velcro.
Great protection. Very thick padding for both camera & laptop.
One backpack to carry laptop, DSLR, & camcorder.
Cleverly designed flap. The media cards in the top pockets will never fall off, as the flap stops half-way through.
One outside zipper pocket on top for quick access. One accessory pocket outside main flap.
Main pocket on top has space for cellphone, pens, markers, laptop battery-pack, accessories etc.
Great looks.
The only scope of improvement is following:
A hook/attachment option to attach the tripod carry case. (However, I still rated it as 5 star)
The solution for this problem is: Buy a small tripod which can fit in a stroller. You can take it along while going on flight and can always keep it in car on road trips.
I have also uploaded some images with notes in the Customer Images section. Hope it helps.
As with most camera carriers, the Fastpack 250 has a number of adjustable padded partitions to configure the camera compartment to your particular equipment. These partitions attach to the compartment using Velcro. However, unlike most similar products, Lowepro provides limited attachment points for the partitions in the compartment. Instead of making all of the walls and floor of the compartment of Velcro (soft side), Lowepro only provides a few strips and patches, meaning that you can only configure the partitions within very limited parameters. While there was plenty of room for my equipment in the compartment, I was unable to position the partitions to properly hold the equipment.
If your camera equipment consists of a small DSLR body and several small lenses, this almost fixed configuration should work. I wanted to carry a medium sized DSLR with two medium large lenses and it was not possible.
The backpack also has a waist belt with padded hip protectors. If you don't want to use the waist belt, there is no place to stow it, so it is always hanging off the sides of the bag.

The Lowepro Fastpack 250 is an excellent camera and laptop bag. Although designed for a 15.4" laptop it could easily accommodate a larger computer. I put my Nikon D300 with mounted 18-200 VR lens in it with no problems. The bag fits easily under an airline seat (even on a CRJ-200) and has room in the personal gear compartment for four paperback books plus some snacks! The only negative is that the carry handle could use some padding.Best Deals for Lowepro Fastpack 250-Red
I really liked this bag, except for 1 missing feature. The padding is excellent, storage is good for the size of bag and all gear is well protected. The laptop compartment is a little tight depending on the model of laptop you have. What I didn't like was the lack of a sternum strap, it had a lap belt which is good for long carries, but even with the lap belt the lack of a sternum strap means it puts alot of weight on your lower back rather than moving it up to your shoulders. The quick access design is nice and useful for getting to your camera quickly and easily.Honest reviews on Lowepro Fastpack 250-Red
After a lot of research online and at different store, I don't have to think twice that this DSLR-laptop backpack is closest to the perfect backpack I was looking for. I bought an Ape Case Pro for Digital Slr Cameras Large Size By: Norazza, returned it. Then got a Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black) and compared a Nikon Backpack for DSLR, Lenses, and Laptop. Fastpack 250 clearly stood out from others in multiple aspects.Very quick in using due to the side access to the main camera pocket.

This case was exactly what I was looking for for my W570. The color is right on compared to the pic. I did however keep the strap that came with my camera vs using the pink one that came with this new case. The strap is a lil cheap looking. Camera fits really good other than maybe a half inch gap at the top but still usable & looks great.

The case is well made and fits the Nikon Coolpix AW100 perfectly. Actually, it's too good a fit. I wanted to keep the neck strap for the camera attached to the AW100, but the fit inside the case is too tight to allow the case to be zipped with it attached. Taking the strap off and reattaching it is a pain in the neck pardon the pun.

Review of Fujifilm Leather Case X10 for Digital Camera
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $80.00
Today's Bonus: 38% Off

I'm really enjoying my Fuji X10. I figured a custom case would be nice for it. The build quality of this case is certainly very high.
The issue I have with this case is that the base "cradle" part has no locking or any way of connecting to the camera. The camera just slides onto it. If you use the neck strap, then the strap lugs help hold the camera to the cradle. I hate neck straps. When just using the camera and case cradle, they can completely separate.
I think it's a poor design. The base of the case cradle should screw into the tripod threads of the camera or something that keeps the two tightly together.
I have since returned the item.
Two small complaints though. First, the X10 is a fairly substantial compact camera and this case makes it larger still. I use my X10 as a replacement for my DSLRs when I don't want to carry all the bulk, and the X10 in the case is nearly as big as (say) a Leica M9. You can leave the top cover off and just use the body part of the camera, but that leaves your expensive X10 halfway exposed.
Other small complaint is that I'd like to have a small wrist strap with the case in addition to the longer neck strap. Including a small wrist strap would make the bulky case that much better, since the strap is quite a handful on its own.
Otherwise, it's a great case and worthy accessory for the wonderful X10.
Update Dec 16 2011;
I still find the design very appropriate for the X10. The quick detach allows you to access the battery and memory card very quickly. I do not believe a case that attaches through the tripod mount would be any good. In use, the design is very good. I do not use neck straps but a wrist strap and have had no problems with the case coming off on its own.
Here's the problem. I always use the lens hood. And the top half of the case doesn't fit the camera with the lens hood on. So if I want to use the full case, I would have to take the hood off every time. That's a lot of trouble.
And then its the access to the battery/memory card compartment. The lower half case covers the compartment door and you will need to take the case off in order to access the battery and the memory card. So every single time you need to download photo (via the memory card) or access the battery, you will have to take the lower half case off. That's quite a bit of trouble.
Though the case looks good and protects well. I ended up replacing it with a half case that I can access the compartment door without removing the case from the camera. And use a camera wrap to protect the camera while its in my bag.
Its a nice case, but not what I wanted.

This case is very well made and provides good protection for the excellent Fujifilm X10. It's all leather (including most of the strap) and lined with a soft suede that both protects and pampers your expensive camera.Two small complaints though.

When used with the included leather strap, the bottom has side snaps that loop around the two strap lugs and hold the camera just fine. It is very nicely finished both inside and out and will prevent scratches to your X10. The top uses a hidden magnet to allow very quick access to the camera. The color is a nice match with the glossy black fX10 finish. I have used the Fuji X100 case (which is identical) and it has held up very well and shows no sign of failure. I gave it four stars due to the price but that seems to be a common downside to all Fuji accessories.Update Dec 16 2011;

The Fuji case fir the camera is really well made. However, the big problem is the design. Unlike other cases, when opened, the fold down portion is not attached in a convenient way to the rest of the case. It just snaps on. The problem is it falls off all the time since it is not fastened to the rest of the cast when opened and you have no place to put it. This is very annoying. Anyway, the camera is great. However, more thought should have been given to the case design.Saturday, May 17, 2014
