I love this case. It fits my Sony NEX-7 (with SELP 1650 lens). It protects the camera well in my backpack.

Compact Digital Camera with Interchangeable Pancake Lens Case Review
I bought this for my Sony NEX-6 with the 16-50mm retractable power zoom lens. Initially it was a bit tricky stretching the case to fit the camera+lens in there but once I got the hang of it it was no issue or maybe it just stretched out a tiny bit and it got easier. It definitely won't protect against any hard impact (from dropping) or rain but it's great for protection from scratches or light bumps. For travelling I plan to carry it in my purse so it's nice that it's light and doesn't add any additional bulk.

Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Desert Tan) Reviews

I purchased this case with foam to protect Nikon equipment used for wedding, location portraiture and sports photography. The Pelican cases are outstanding and are as good as equipment cases get. The waterproof neoprene O-ring gasket, pressure equalization valve and latch design set Pelican cases apart. The 1510's max-allowable carry-on size is a huge selling point if you have even a 1% chance of travel with expensive equipment you want to keep it in your immediate proximity, not in some disgruntled and underpaid baggage handler's tender care. It's a bit on the heavy side if you're used to a soft-sided camera bag, but you would expect that from such a durable case.
The down side of this purchase for me was the "pluckable" foam (which you should cut and never pluck). The foam is a great concept and gives better protection (if cut with thick foam sections between items) than the alternative 1515 Padded Divider set Pelican sells. However, it's VERY unforgiving once cut it's cut. (Tips on cutting foam are below). I recommend you SERIOUSLY consider purchase of an empty 1510 case (no foam) and additionally purchasing the 1515 Padded Divider set instead of the 1510 with pluckable block foam. This will give you much more flexibility and simplicity (unless you never plan on adding new equipment) while still protecting your equipment. For this reason I will eventually (probably very soon) trash the very expensive foam and will buy the 1515 divider set.
If you decide to stick with the foam, hey, it's your money, but here are some tips which will make you less dangerously postal after realizing your mistake:
0) The case comes with 4 foam layers, two thin ones for bottom and the lid, and two thicker ones with the grid of semi-pre-cut pluckable foam. I will be referring to "marking the foam" below. This is done in the thick layers with toothpicks. Gently work a toothpick in to the corner of where the little 1/2 inch foam blocks come together. I'll use the term "hole" for the space you cut out for your equipment. Notice I said cut not pluck. Use a serrated steak knife to gently saw through the semi-pre-cut pluckable blocks for the neatest appearance. Let's make this look professional, OK?
1) Take all the foam out and look at the bottom of the case. See those intruding wheel wells and the intruding handle well? (Pelican had to intrude those into the case's interior to make it fit the airline's luggage size requirements). You don't want your $2000 camera setting on that wheel well as it vibrates while rolling over asphalt or grouted tile. Use the thin bottom foam pad to mark these areas off on the thick pad and only put in shallow holes (no cutting into the bottom thick foam layer) for items such as a flash or 50mm lens in these areas. You don't want tall items like a camera body here! I cut out areas so the bottom layer of foam sits better on the wheel wells optional, but now the top layer of foam doesn't ride up on these corners.
2) Plan on leaving at least 2 to 3 foam blocks (1" to 1.5") of space between all your equipment. Thin foam will be VERY flimsy and will tear when your equipment is being inserted into the holes.
3) Make sure you clearly mark both thick layers with toothpicks, masking tape or something similar so you always know which side is the top. This is way more important than it sounds.
4) Get all your equipment out and arrange it on one of the thick layers, and start marking the foam while arranging your equipment. Remember you may be buying more equipment, so keep your holes grouped fairly close and leave unused space as contiguous as possible. For this step you're looking at everything from above and thinking in 2 dimensions width and depth. Just marking, no sawing yet...
5) Now for the 3rd dimension of height measure to see if the equipment is taller than a single layer of thick foam. These holes will have to be extended through both layers.
6) OK, it's time to get your steak knife and get ready to start sawing. Try to saw out the holes in complete blocks and set them aside to store them. This will greatly aid in fixing problems later on. Tell little Johnny to get away from them give him some bubble-wrap instead. Don't drink alcohol until you're finished. You'll probably need some when you are finished though I suggest The Glenlevit & water on the rocks, but without the water...
7) Think you're done? Wrong. Now work your equipment all the way into the holes and get the cut-out blocks you set aside earlier. Put the cut-outs on top of the equipment so they are level and mark how deep they go down into the hole with a toothpick. Measure from the bottom to the toothpick with a ruler to determine how deep it inserted into the equipment-filled hole. Now transfer that measurement to the TOP of the block instead of the bottom. For instance, if the bottom of the block inserts .75" into the hole, mark off .75" from the TOP of the block. Now saw through that plane with your serrated knife, perpendicular to the semi-pre-cut cuts. Try to be as neat and even as possible. Still looks bad when you're done, right? Since you follow directions well and measured this from the top and not the bottom, the ugly side will not be visible when impressionable clients look into our custom camera case when the equipment is removed. Remove the equipment from the hole, take the top piece you cut with the ugly side down and insert it into the bottom of the hole, then reinsert the equipment, and Hey Look! It's flush with the top!
8) How many mistakes did you make? OK, now move all your equipment a safe distance away, like the next room. Go get some Elmer's glue and put tiny super-thin lines of glue on your mistake blocks, glue them back in very carefully inserting them from the bottom so we don't get any glue on the outside visible parts of the foam. Set the two patched thick foam layers on their tops so the glue you still managed to smear on the bottom doesn't stick to anything (a wet washcloth will help with cleaning up excess glue). Now wait until tomorrow for it to dry so you can go back to step 4. It is now safe to grace a few ice cubes with the gentle caress of some Glenlevit while you wait for tomorrow's adventure in foam cutting.
FINIS) Well, painful though it was, I promise it was less painful than if you would have wouldn't have followed my awesome instructions. Now that it's a couple of hours (or days) later and you're nerves are completely frazzled and that bottle of The Glenlevit is a number of inches lower than before you started, don't you wish you would have listened to my advice about purchasing an empty 1510 and the 1515 Padded Dividers?

First, on the back is the famous roller wheels and pull-out handle for getting through the airports. They are made of black plastic typical pelican tough stuff and don't show here.
Second, this case is sized for the maximum allowable carry-on size, which means no hassles at the airport.
Third, it comes with 2 layers of the famous pick and pluck foam insert. This does the job, but its not a custom fit for everything out there and looks funny. You can also buy closed cell foam sheets and trace out your product's outline, then I like to use an electric carving knife like you'd use on the thanksgiving turkey to cut clean lines and curves. That's a personal matter if I'm traveling, I have smaller pieces of foam for sensitive stuff and often put clothes and such in the rest of the case, taking out the pelican foam.
Fourth, Pelican re-designed their tough as nails snaps. While they kept things closed tight, often getting them open after temperature and pressure changes could be a challenge. The new snap is a 2 step design with a closure step, followed by a locking step. This gives the same strength as before but without busting thumbs to get the snaps open.
Finally, the whole box is tough as nails. Just a note here, it is a heavy piece of carry on but most airlines don't weigh that yet. All the hinges are designed for the rigors of being kicked, dropped, water landings, etc and with proper packing your inside contents are ready to go.
I have one other Pelican travel case that I've owned for over a decade it's their Maximum checked luggage box it's been on alot of airplanes and now has the TSA low security lock so they can peek inside (they usually do and leave me a note on top of my dirty laundry since anything of value goes with me carryon). That box also has wheels and has become much more than a box over the year. It has served as a chair, a luggage cart to carry other bags on top of its wheels, and over 10 years of air and ship travel it has some scuff marks but everything still works. It's why I insist on pelican products and why I was happy to hear they made a max carryon size. My personal view on their divider system sold separately for this case is that it's suboptimal for most applications and a tad overpriced but I'm sure it does exactly what some people need by making lots of padded compartments inside once placed.
The 1510 holds my Nikon D200 with MB200 Battery Pack, 3 lenses, SB800 Speedlight, ML3 Remote, Hoodman Loupe, Filters, Extra AAA Batteries, Camera Manuals and more. When I buy new equipment I order new foam. Before I cut the foam I make templates (I actually keep the old ones and just make ones for the new product) and lay them out before I cut. It's a great system.
Most importantly my gear has been protected under some pretty tough conditions. The Pelican has been carried on horse back, on my a.t.v., and on occasion it has ridden in the bed of my truck. My camera system has stayed secure and undamaged from my home area in the Arizona Sonoran Desert to trips that have included over 10,000 miles on the Alaskan Highway, Glacier Nat'l Park, and Yellowstone. It is water proof, dust proof, and bulldog proof.
This is the best case for the money that I have found. I would give it 10 stars if that rating was available.

For my business I often must travel on short notice so I have a "go kit" packed for 3 day stays designed for carryon travel, and now its all in this case.

I have tried other soft cases and semi rigid suitcase style cases for my cameras, but this is the one. I am able to get just the right amount of stuff in this case. The pluckable foam insert is a well thought out product, but make sure you get your gear layout right before you start plucking. The fact that this case is carry on size is crucial. I would love to get just a little more gear inside, but, without bending the fabric of space and time, I must say it holds as much as I could possibly ask for the size of the case. I was able to get a Canon 5D body (with battery grip), a Canon 20D body, a 24-70 "L" series lens and lens hood, a 10-22 lens for the 20D, a 70-300 (NOT an "L" series) for the 20D, an 18-55 starter lens for the 20D, card reader and cord, extra battery, 10 memory cards, polarizing filter, two canon 550 flashes, extra AA batteries for the flashes, "feet" for the flashes, the radio controller for the flashes, extra 9V battery for the controller, battery charger, AA battery insert for the battery grip, camera straps, lens brush, small multitool, and finally, extra lens caps. While there are a few other small things I would like to fit in there, that is all the breakable stuff plus some, and that is what this case if for. When I get different lenses, I will order new pluckable foam, and I like that I can do that. The pluckable foam is the way to go. Stuff is held without any movement. If a luggage handler drops this case, nothing will shift at all on the inside. That is what I call protection. If you get creative with the two layers of foam, you could probably do a two layer set up of one shallow item on top of another shallow item, but I am afraid I would forget about the item stored in the lower layer. It is a no nonsense rolling (!) case that does one thing exceptionally well protect expensive camera gear! It does that without fuss. The design of the hinges on the lid are a huge plus! They open to set amounts so that the lid holds itself open just past vertical. That way it is out the way, but doesn't slam into the floor when you open it. It is then easier to grab and close. It is a very small but brilliant thing that I now would hate not to have. The wheels roll beautifully, the pull handle extends just the right amount of distance. Don't expect a fancy handle it slides out and locks, slides in and locks. It isn't fancy, but that's the idea. Judging by the design, they planned the pull handle to be a replaceable piece in case it gets trashed. How that could happen, I have no idea, because it is simple and seemingly indestructible, but I like that they thought it through so well. This is the kind of organization and protection I have been looking for. Buy this thing, and never look back. I would also recommend two of the TSA approved Pelican locks.Honest reviews on Pelican 1510 Case with Foam for Camera (Desert Tan)
My Pelican 1510 is my third or fourth Pelican case. I used Zero Halliburton cases for years, (I got my first in the early 1970's) but they became very full of themselves so I started looking elsewhere. I tried a huge Lowepro AW for my F5 system but it was too much to cart around for me.The 1510 holds my Nikon D200 with MB200 Battery Pack, 3 lenses, SB800 Speedlight, ML3 Remote, Hoodman Loupe, Filters, Extra AAA Batteries, Camera Manuals and more.

This compact little camera case seems pretty sturdy and it's a good fit for the A500. The only thing that makes it less than perfect is that it's so compact it's tough to fit any extras, like batteries, in the case along with the camera. You can just nestle them alongside the camera, but you can't put them in the little mesh pocket.The hard shell helps protect the camera which was the original reason for purchasing. It does have room for a spare battery but otherwise, no great shakes in recommending it beyond protection for camera's fragile view screen.

Built E-SSC-BLK Soft-Shell Camera Case (Black) Reviews
This case is a perfect fit for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3. Normally, I do not like Built products because they design many of their products with extra wasted space -wide corners which looks cool but not practical. This case is one exception -it is actually nice to have the slightly extra wide corners to help slide the camera into place -the camera is slighly wider on one end, so it is a perfect fit.
The case also has an pocket inside that you can slide extra memory cards or batteries into. Perfect!
The only thing I wish it had was a loop on the outside to hook a carabiner clip to so that I can clip it to my backpack or purse. I also wish there were other colors or pattern choices. (Black is too boring, pink is too bright and clashes with my red camera, the dots is cute and fun but definitely girlish)
Micro Dot pattern is very cute and the inside is bright red. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

I just got this case today, it's super cute, slightly stretchy, and seems to be well made. The only problem I have is that it does not fit my camera. The dimensions given above are accurate, but if you look closely at the picture you will notice that the top zipper is not quite as wide as the bag. Unfortunately I failed to see this. I bought the bag thinking it would just fit my Nikon Coolpix S9100, but the camera doesn't fit through the zipper opening which is not stretchy.Sunday, October 19, 2014
Reviews of Canon WWDC1 Weight for Canon Waterproof and All Weather Cases

With these weights I was able to send my Canon Powershot S70 to the bottom of the Atlantic, and I have great faith that they will keep it there. Reliable, and more professional than a brick.
1.) As I was diving with the camera, the weights eventually worked themselves loose and had to be tightened about every 2 dives.
2.) The main screw that holds the weights together and on the camera (and that kept working its way loose) was the part that rusted, despite regularly soaking it in fresh water and drying it after diving.
3.) I met at least 4 other people with a canon underwater housing and only one other had weights for their camera. Everyone else said they didn't really need them. As for the two of us that had the weights, we only used two from that pack of 4 and the weighted case bumped off of stuff because it was dangling below, rather than hovering with me.

The Canon underwater housings are designed to protect your camera from the elements, whether they are sand, rain, pool, or ocean. For use on the beach, while snorkeling, or taking shots of your kids in a pool there is little or no need to worry about the buoyancy of your camera housing. If you free dive or scuba dive you do not want your camera housing floating out of your hands. These weights are an easy way to adjust the buoyancy of your housing. The kit comes with four weight plates so you can fine tune your housing's buoyancy. I prefer a heavier setup and have added an extra plate compared to what was recommended by Canon. I'm very happy with the setup and they are very easy to use.Best Deals for Canon WWDC1 Weight for Canon Waterproof and All Weather Cases

I got these for the case I purchased for my 700 IS and the most useful thing in the box was the manual. It tells you how to find out how many weights your camera model requires (which in my case was none!!!) So while these weights work great if you need them, make sure you do before you buy. Look around for Canon's underwater photography guide which should help clue you in.Thursday, October 9, 2014
Review of Slim Sized Digital Camera Case for 3rd Generation Flip UltraHD
i hate it this product is very bad it sucks big giant hairy balls like i really do not like it so ok yep byeReceived products on time and love them! Was excited to find the case was pretty hard and not soft, as the description didn't really specify. Love the color of the case and the tripod is really nifty and nice to have. I'm completely satisfied with the quality of the products and the price is fantastic!

The bag is very fell design for traveling. It is light, it has a lot of easily accessible storage. The packet for the camera is right on the top of the bag.Best Deals for Incase CL58056 Point and Shoot Field Bag - Black
Bought this for Sony rx100 ii. Camera fits in side compartments with space to spare. Design of the pockets is great but the strap is so award. If you are a small person it does not tighten enough to rest flat against your back. It can be longer to be hip hight but still rest very funny.Honest reviews on Incase CL58056 Point and Shoot Field Bag - Black
This bag is very handy for a fixed lens or point and shoot camera. The side access pocket provides fast access to the camera which has its own adjustable compartment. Overall, the bag is quite small and will not work for a DSLR or camera with a protruding lens.There are several pockets usable pockets outside and inside, but space is tight so don't expect to be able to carry a day's provisions. There is a pocket inside that fits an ipad, but only without a cover. The bag is made from a discrete and attractive material that does not scream "steal me", however the zippers may not hold up long term. The bag sits on your lower back and you hardly notice it walking around, but you can access the camera in a couple of seconds. Overall, I am happy with the bag for carrying a street camera/ipad combo and not being weighted down.Thursday, August 28, 2014
Best ZAGG invisibleSHIELD for Nikon D700 Screen Deals

You MUST toss the silly plastic viewfinder cover that comes with your Nikon and apply an InvisibleShield. The optical quality is far superior, and these things are bulletproof. I've used them for years on phones, GPS receivers, and all kinds of cameras, and never had one fail me. I am clumsy and rough on my gear. Applying an InvisibleShield is the first thing I do with any new electronic device with a screen.While some have complained about difficult application; read the instructions, take your time, and follow each step. I've installed several now, never a single problem. Excellent protection . . .

Reviews of BIRUGEAR Digital Camera Zipper Pouch Carrying Bag Case for Kodak
I bought some time ago and it has been through a lot, but is reliable and tough. It keeps the camera safe with an internal velcro strap that wraps around the camera to keep it from being jostled. It also has a mesh pouch for extra battery and/or SD Card. The double zipper still works like a charm as well.

Mint condition. Fits the easy share camera perfectly. Like the pocket inside for batteries or chips. The strap to hold the camera in is great. Would be nice to have had a strap for carrying.

I personally LOVE all Built NY products. This one comes with a hard shell on the bottom half to protect the camera. However, because it completely closes with the top coming over it, it's very difficult to get the camera in and out very quickly to capture those "perfect shots" wherever you may be!
So if you are looking for a camera case that will protect as you travel, this is the one. Very durable, good quality... i would have just like a better top fixture like the regular Built NY electric pockets.
As a professor I travel around campus a lot and need to carry with me little items like my cell phone, lipstick, ID, a bit of cash and a keydrive. Women's professional clothing never has pockets which makes it hard. I've tried a zippered pouch or wrist bag but it looks too much like a makeup bag and the zipper makes a surprising amount of noise. A purse or briefcase is too big and a folio doesn't work with bulky items. This little case is perfect I can fit everything in and just have one item to carry. The black one looks professional and can be opened without any noise. But the best part is that with the hood open, the whole thing props up, making it easy to get at things inside. I leave it propped open on my desk and all I have to do is grab my key drive and go! It movies easily from briefcase to desk to classroom to meetings to home.

Our family has several of these and not one holds a camera! I use one for my huge original Zune and another for an iTouch. Both of my kids use them to hold iPods. The hard back makes it easy to slip in an mp3 player and offers some protection against dropping. Cords and earbuds fit in the back pocket. The stretchy hood prevents the player from falling out accidently in a purse or backpack.As a professor I travel around campus a lot and need to carry with me little items like my cell phone, lipstick, ID, a bit of cash and a keydrive.

I needed an iPhone case that held my iPhone and my small Motorola bluetooth ear bud head set. The little pouch behind the "hoodie" flap on this guy holds the Motorola easily, and the iPhone very easily slides in and out of the main pouch. The stiff support built inside the case protects the iPhone's screen, and the wide edges offer a great "shock-cushion" in case I would ever drop it. Great product.Honest reviews on Built NY Neoprene Hoodie Camera Case, Small, Micro Dot
Got this case for my new digital camera to take on a week and half vacation. It's small and fit nicely in my messenger bag and was easy to get camera in and out of however the stitching on the back of it started to unravel after day 5...Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Built NY Neoprene Hoodie Camera Case, Small, Micro Dot
I really like the Built brand stuff. It's not super heavy duty bulletproof protection, but it's great for keeping dust and dirt off of your camera while providing some protection for the lcd screen. When I was looking for a case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 Digital Camera, I wasn't sure if this would be a good fit or not. I hoped for the best and ordered it anyway, and was pleased to find that it fit just fine.Tuesday, July 15, 2014
Best Kata SB-907 GDC Large Reporter Shoulder Case Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $270.00
Sale Price: $189.00
Today's Bonus: 30% Off

Best used with the option InsertTrolley, the wheeled cart made by Kata. This huge case (almost too big to carry on the job) will easily hold three DSLR cameras and eight or more lenses, plus, I carry two flash units, cables, filters, and other accessories. Multiple ways to open the top. Comes with a sunand weather-proof stretch cover that goes over the entire case. Unlike some other types of large cases, including slings and backpacks, things will not fall out of this case when it opens. First-rate construction.
The Kata bag is well padded, deep and attractive. The dividers in the bag can be positioned anyway that you want since the entire interior is the type material grips the velcro on the divider pads.
If you plan on filling this up and walking around all day--good luck. I'd probably recommend one of the bigger Kata backpacks for that purpose. But to take a lot of photo gear on a trip or if you just want something better than an old box to store your gear in at home, this is perfect.

I chose the Kata bag to carry my 2 SLR camera bodies, 4 lens, 2 flash, plus misc items and 1 lap top computer all in one soft bag vs a hard case. This bag can handle all it.. if you can pick it up. The smart well padded shoulder strap is great and there is the option of a 2 wheeled dolly, that would be helpful. Also, the "rope" style handle is a secure way of moving the bag.The Kata bag is well padded, deep and attractive.

I love this bag. Not sure that I would recommend it for extended field use as it is quite big and when fully loaded, weighs a ton. For my part though, I use this as my photography base-camp, and remove the equipment I need for the day and put it in a smaller walking-around backpack (also by Kata). It holds 3 Nikon bodies with ease including the bigger D300 with a battery grip, plus about 8 lenses (from 400mm, down to a small 50mm normal lens) plus all the accessories I use: (extra batteries, binoculars, batteries, chargers, teleconverters, flashes, cleaning kits, filters &c) Plus there is a handy removable laptop sleeve. It's very well padded for travel and the included dividers are easy to customise to your liking.If you plan on filling this up and walking around all day--good luck.

This bag was exactly what I needed, but only after I altered it. I didn't need a place for my laptop, but I needed the additional room it gave me over the 904, so I just purchased the additional sectioning available through Amazon and made it the bag I needed, with the laptop bag taken out. Very functional!Saturday, July 12, 2014

This was a camera Christmas for our granddaughters, ages 12 and 9. They loved the colorful and sturdy travel cases. The cameras lived up to Nikon quality....easy to use, attractive and lightweight. The perfect "first" camera. Like the ease of "AA" batteries. Great for kids. Downloading is easy and the pictue quality is good....although they need to read a bit more about lighting and how to use the optional settings.Purchased as a gift for grand daughter and have heard no complaints. I assume it is working just as it's suppose to. Nikon cameras are a quality product so I'm not surprised.
