Best Polaroid Roadie Series Professional Hard Case For The Nikon D7000 Deals
This is a great case for storing the Nikon D7000. The case holds the camera with lens on it, two other lens, remote, and cleaning supplies. Only negative is the foam insert in the case. It was hard to customize to fit my equipment. Some pieces are already torn out. But overall, I have been very happy with the case. Good protection for your photo equipment.

Cheap Premium Neoprene SLR/DSLR Camera Case + Free DreamBargains Neckstrap
This case is exactly what I needed. I like to throw my camera in a backpack with a few other items and hit the trail. I didn't like having the bare camera banging and rubbing against the other things in my bag. This provides just the right amount of padding and abrasion protection without being bulky or cumbersome. Excellent product.
And I always afraid that camera can be damaged in some way by other stuff in backpack (ex. notebook AC adapter).
With this neoprene camera case I can take my camera with me and put it anyway I want without possibility to scratch it..

First, I bought this hoping it'd fit my T700. I wanted it to fit like a glove as I've read other cases do. Unfortunately, I could fit two T700s in here if I wanted to. Lots of extra room.
Second, Sony obviously didn't design the strap on this case to go with the stylus that comes with the camera. The strap is too wide and though the stylus goes on, it's really not supposed to.
Finally, the "strap loop" isn't as convenient as you'd think. The strap does not easily slip through it, so it's not like you can whip the camera out of the case and the case just slides down on the strap. It takes work and seems like it's not worth it.
So, the quality of this case? Great. It's very nicely made. Just not a snug fit and not all that functional.
I think this would be a better value for less money, but it is what it is, a very attractive leather case for your sony digital camera. If it sealed the top of the sides better I would have given four stars, and if the price was about 25.00 I would have given 5.
I have had a Sony DSC-T10 for years and bought a Lowepro Napoli 5 Camera Leather Case for it. It fits both of these cameras very well. I will be ordering one to replace this case. You can buy it here on Amazon also for almost half the price.

I purchased this cover for my Sony W220 digital camera, it is not really a carrying case as you may think, it simply covers the camera and uses a replacement strap that you attach to the camera itself. It is attractive and fits the w220 perfectly, and it is has proven to be a very nice storage cover but I would hesitate to carry this only. It is not sealed on the topof either side,it does cover the front and rear of the camera very well. To me it seams more like storage case while you keep it in whatever you may be carrying it in. Magnetic front cover works well and has a good cling, does not just flop open as you might come to expect from magnetic lids.I think this would be a better value for less money, but it is what it is, a very attractive leather case for your sony digital camera.

Bought it because they had it listed with the Sony DSC-TX10 as a combo price and assumed that would mean it fits well in the case. It doesn't, the case fits great on the width, but is just a little to big on the height and way to fat for this camera. When I was setting into my camera bag last night it kept turning on and making the start-up sound. It took me a few times to figure out it was sliding enough to pull open the front plate that it would start to open make the sound, but close and go back off.I have had a Sony DSC-T10 for years and bought a Lowepro Napoli 5 Camera Leather Case for it.

There is only one word needed to describe this product, it's "CRAP". It is held closed by a cloth elastic band that arrived fitting too loose. The case spine is too wide for the camera. You must fold it back on itself to use the camera which immediately distorts the spine of the case or loosen the thumb screw each time. It's described a being leather but the sewn in label says 65% polyester.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sony LCS-CSVA/R DSC Leather Carrying Case - Red

Sony SPK-SA Sports Pack Carrying Case for Son S60, S80 and S90 Reviews
The main reason i wanted it was to protect the camera, and thats exactly what it does, the only problem is that it went from being tiny, to a beastly thing, it has alot more perks than downfalls, the main downfalls is that its big, it cuts out the red eye controller, and you cant use the viewfinder, and having to take it out of it and put it back in for batteries and the memory card... the upside to this is that the red eye controller is blinding and not that useful most of the time, nobody uses a viewfinder because of the 2.5 inch monitor, and who cares if its monsterous, the screen or the lens cant be damaged, and if your out in any weather condition its untouchable, and is a little hassle for alot of saving in time and money. its worth buying if you dont care what it looks like.
Update: After SEVEN years of usage, this case still works well. Happy to give it 5 stars!
Anyway, I finally got to put it to good use (although I've tinkered around with it in the past) just recently on a trip down the Oregon coast. I put it under water and took some photos and they came out pretty cool. It also protected the camera from sand when we went to the sand dunes. When you are done using it for the day all you have to do is rinse it out with water and then put the little spacer on it when you are done to prevent the rubber band from wear and tear, let it dry, and you are ready to use it again.
Overall I recommend buying it if you are worried about taking your camera to certain places where something may damage it: for example rain, sand, and snow. The only bad thing about it is that it does make the camera a bit bigger but hey, it does its job. Also you have to double check everytime when you put your camera inside to make sure the rubber seal is positioned correctly, otherwise your camera may get ruined. That's one other thing that I didn't really like-the fact that the only thing seperating your camera from water is a thin little rubber band. So you should ALWAYS inspect that little thing really carefully. Also, you can't use the viewfinder because it is blocked. But nobody uses that anyway when you have an lcd screen in front of your face.
It comes with a tube of grease, an adjustable carrying strap, and antifog solution. For $25 it was a steal! I probably wont end up using this much though and that's good too since I didn't pay much for it anyway. But I'm glad that I have one! And you will be too.

Just bought the case and have tried it out a few times. The pictures turned out wonderful and I don't have any concerns about using it to a depth of 9m. It seems very well made. One gripe I have is the view finder is 75% covered up. This may not seem like a big deal but when you are underwater, with goggles on it is very difficult to see the lcd screen depending on the lighting conditions. It is however very easy to see through the 25% of the view finder that is not covered. It is bulky but that's expected. My other concern is that it doesn't have a lens cover so I am worried about getting scratches. Otherwise I am very happy with it.Best Deals for Sony SPK-SA Sports Pack Carrying Case for Son S60, S80 and S90

i was hesitant about the 10 ft depth limits of this waterproof case and its general durability. I went camping near the Gulf of Mexico, taking my camera in this case along with it. I basically wanted this case to waterproof my camera so i could take my camera out on the jetski with me out on and into the saltwater. Worked perfectly. My camera stayed bone dry in the case the whole time, no problems. All of the functions of the camera were easily accessed while the camera was in the case all weekend. easy to use too. i highly recommend this case, and will 5-star rate it once i assure this case's longevity.Update: After SEVEN years of usage, this case still works well.

Cheap Precision Design PD-C15 Digital Camera Case for Nikon Coolpix L24
The bag itself is good, with adequate padding, water resistant outers and plenty of pockets. My main complaint is it being incorrectly advertised to fit a range of digital cameras, including the Nikon P100 which I have. The main compartment is too small and it does NOT fit a medium sizes digital camera like the P100. I could only fit it (tight squeeze) with either the lens facing downwards or upwards.
All the extra pockets are useless if you cannot fit the camera itself.
Currently; I have a Vivitar MSB-1 Mini Super Blower next to the L110 in the main part of the case. In the front, both the 1 oz. Formula MC Lens Cleaner and the Microdear Microfiber Deluxe Cleaning Cloth, Large, 14.5" x 17.75" fit perfectly. More than everything you need for cleaning a lens, with more pockets above the camera.

I am using this for my Nikon Coolpix L110 and it fits perfectly. The package came on time undamagedin a bag unusually. A nice padded strap is included with the case. The bottom of the case has two rubber treaded grips. Inside the case, there is a soft removable divider, which creates the extra space next to the camera. There is another soft divider between the top of the camera and the pocket above. The front pocket is enough to hold batteries and several Transcend 8GB Class 10 SDHC Card (TS8GSDHC10). Certainly enough room but light enough and small enough for easy travel. The L110 fits in the case with the screen against the back and lens pointing to the logo. It's nice how light and compact it is with my L110 inside (About 1 and 1/2 pounds, camera and bag together).Currently; I have a Vivitar MSB-1 Mini Super Blower next to the L110 in the main part of the case.

This is a nice little bag, but definitley not fit for the Nikon COOLPIX L110.

I looked at the camera bag reviews for the CoolPix P7000 and found most saying they were too small or at least snug. So I kept looking and found this one. It just arrived.

Cheap Riva 7023 (PU) Digital Camera Hard Case red
I purchased this for my girlfriends new Sony camera. I wanted something that was somewhat hard yet compact to protect her camera while it was bouncing around in her purse. This fit the camera perfectly! Not much else will fit in the case though...maybe an extra memory card but that is it.
It is sturdy and just the right size.
I can easily fit the camera and it's cable into the case; It won't fit the charger, since it's pretty snug.
The color is bright and vibrant.

Buy Bluecell Light Brown leather classic DC digital camera protection
The retro look of the ever ready style case and the quality appearance of the leather attract frequent comments and questions. This is a high quality item and amazing when you consider its modest price. My one minor disappointment is that it won't quite fit over my aftermarket lens hood (JJC-LH-JX10), at least not with the lens cover on. It will fit (snugly) without the cover. Another reviewer said it fit over his lens hood, so he may have had a different brand.
I've been a serious photographer ever since graduating from high school in 1948. I have a Nikon SLR, but the combo of Fuji X-10 and leather case is really satisfying. Like the old 35mm rangefinder days, only better.!
The case is in two parts. The bottom can be left on while shooting. The case is held on by snaps around the neck strap. You will have to use the strap to keep the case on. If does fit well, and doesn't seem like it will just fall off. However, you can easily take the case off without removing the strap. The top fully covers the camera and attaches to the bottom with two snaps and a magnet. You have to take the case off to change batteries or sd cards. I have a similar case for my film slr and guess what: You have to take it off to change the battery or roll of film so that's nothing new.
It isn't water or dust proof.
The value is good. Especially compared to the fuji case.
"X10" is stamped into the leather at the top.
The finish is impressive, the quality of the leather is quite similar to the original case, the light brown color is perfectly dyeing and finishing inside is soft and durable (apparently felt, but also is skin). What I really like is that the camera fits perfectly into the bottom of the case, it is without gaps and is very comfortable to hold. It is very easy access to buttons and other controls on the X10.
I really recommend this case. It costs only 16% of the original and perfectly fulfills its function. If you want that your Fujifilm X10 looks retro appearance in all its splendor, plus if you want that your camera is protected, purchase this wonderful case. Is "the best that money can buy."

Reviews of Domke F-832 Medium Photo Courier Bag (Brown RuggedWear)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $219.99
Sale Price: $103.95
Today's Bonus: 53% Off

I'm always torn between carrying a big heavy bag for of equipment and a small one with just a body with one lens attached and one extra lens, and I'm also always torn between carrying a ratty bag that doesn't cry out "expensive camera inside" and one that looks halfway presentable. This bag is a comfortable compromise on both counts.
First of all, the dimensions. When I first took it out of the package I was slightly disappointed at how small it looked after reading all of the reviews about how ginormous it is. It is not "too big" for everyday use, at least for me. I have a Nikon D700 that I usually keep the battery grip attached to, and it is a bit snug with the lens pointed down. I've come to take out the included camera divider, and between that and the fact that the flap secures with velcro allowing for easy positioning, the camera fits fine. An extra inch would be better. As far as depth, a 24-70 f/2.8 lens on the camera with the lens hood on fits perfectly, and a 70-200 f/2.8 with the hood reversed also fits. A second lens fits into the second compartment just fine, even the big Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8. By taking out both dividers, I fit the body sideways with a Sigma 150-500 attached and still had room to carry a Sigma 28-300 and a Sigma 1.4 TC alongside the lens. The front pouch fits a 10" netbook comfortably, but instead I opt to carry an incredible collection of accessories and personal items in there. The overall thing to remember is that this bag is not rigid except for the bottom and will conform easily to a lot of different equipment inside. For the one time I ran out of room I attached an accessory pouch from my other Domke bag to the strap.
It looks great without being too flashy. I'm on the subway a lot so I've been using an Army camouflage messenger bag, but recently I noticed I was getting some strange looks when entering museums and other public places, like they were ready to search inside for a terrorist bomb or something. On the other hand I have some nice bags I just won't take with me everyday on the bus or train as they may not scream camera bag, but they do scream that 'something' nice and expensive is inside. This bag looks nice without looking expensive. The only fault I have to correct somehow is the big bright 'Domke' logo sewn onto the flap, I'm thing an Xacto knife to the stitching holding it on.
It is made incredibly well of heavy duty canvas with flawless stitching. I have no doubt it will outlive me. The thing I really noticed when I started using it is how everything just seems to work well for the way I operate, it really shows that this was made by a camera bag maker and not a laptop bag maker or a backpack maker with a few dividers thrown in to call it a camera bag. Somehow it seems that my equipment weighs less when using this bag or my other Domke bag, an F-7 that Is for when I need to carry a lot more, I don't know if it is the sturdiness or the balance or what but I really don't mind carrying around a lot of equipment in either of these bags. However, I really recommend the Post Office Shoulder Pad if you're going to be carrying around 15-20 pounds on your shoulder all day.
This is definitely a best buy, and even though relatively expensive, it's cheaper than buying yet another camera bag to add to the collection in my closet, this one I'll use every day.
There are very few drawbacks I've noticed with this bag, but my only real one is that it will not fit a camera body attached to the 70-200mm f/2.8. I suspect the bigger sized Domke F-833 will, but there are really very few reasons I would need a bag to do that, especially one that's meant to lug gear to the location, not shoot from (that's what belt packs are for). The strap could use a little extra padding (Think Tank has much better straps), but again, that isn't a big deal to me if I'm not going to be carrying the bag all day.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the purchase for my needs and set of lenses.
This bag just works, it is comfortable to carry. The pouch fits my slate with enough room for a notepad or other folder. There is loads of room in the main compartment for the camera and all of the regular items I carry around daily. The absolute best thing about this bag is how easy it is to get the camera out quickly. No buckles, no zippers, just swing it a bit to the front, lift the flap and pull out the camera.
For me personally, the outside dimensions are great, it's about twice as thick as my regular leather briefcase. It fit's in my aftermarket motorcycle trunk perfectly. And, when the strap is at the right length, the weight distribution is comfortable.
The only thing that I would change is there could be a few more small pockets, and sleeves for a pen or two and maybe your business cards (fairly standard briefcase stuff).
I would recommend this bag for anyone who carries daily, and wants to be able to pull the camera out at a moments notice.
Pros:
Comfortable carry
Quick access
Lots of carry space
Fits a small to medium slate or laptop
Cons:
Needs a couple of small pockets and some organizer sleeves (pens, business cards, memory cards, batteries, etc.)

I received this bag a few days ago, and my first impression was fantastic, the build quality being what stood out most. The only two complaints I have are in relation to it's size. The first is that the laptop "sleeve" will not hold my 15 inch macbook pro, it is kinda my fault for not checking beforehand, but it is hard to find information like this with Domke bags (one of the reasons I am writing this review). Perhaps they could have made the laptop compartment the width of the bag, beacause it fits perfectly in the main compartment. The second complaint is that it is really deep, I may just need to move down a size. Despite my problems with it being too deep, and the laptop compartment being poorly designed, I love it.Best Deals for Domke F-832 Medium Photo Courier Bag (Brown RuggedWear)
I went through quite a few bags in my search for a camera bag I could use to lug my gear from place to place that wasn't obviously a camera bag, and I bought the Domke F-832 on faith, since there were no reviews at the time.

There is a pocket that's obviously tailor made to fit a 70-200 f/2.8, and it also fits my 14-24 and 24-70 f/2.8, along with a pro or regular DSLR body attached or unattached. There's plenty of room up top for another small prime, such as a 50mm f/1.4 or 1.8, strap, and a few miscellaneous accessories. The front pocket isn't big enough to hold a 15" laptop, as the previous reviewer mentioned, but it is big enough to hold my iPad and Kindle DX, both in cases, along with their chargers and a few other miscellaneous accessories. The bag is also small enough to carry on a plane, although it probably won't fit under the seat in front of you.There are very few drawbacks I've noticed with this bag, but my only real one is that it will not fit a camera body attached to the 70-200mm f/2.8. I suspect the bigger sized Domke F-833 will, but there are really very few reasons I would need a bag to do that, especially one that's meant to lug gear to the location, not shoot from (that's what belt packs are for). The strap could use a little extra padding (Think Tank has much better straps), but again, that isn't a big deal to me if I'm not going to be carrying the bag all day.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with the purchase for my needs and set of lenses.
Honest reviews on Domke F-832 Medium Photo Courier Bag (Brown RuggedWear)
I've been looking for a bag that would hold both a laptop (Vaio Z 13") and camera (5d Mk II) at the same time, as a daily carry (short trips in the car, shuttling kids to their activities, family outings). The bag is built for quality and durability, easily holding both camera and laptop plus 16-35mm and 50mm. Like many messenger/shoulder bags, it's deep so there's more room if you want to stack your gear. To be expected, when loaded as such is weighs quite a bit, almost too heavy. I was considering ordering the shoulder pad to see if that would offset the weight. However, in my trial use the bag just felt too large for regular use. I really liked the "look" of the bag, but in the end decided to return it.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Domke F-832 Medium Photo Courier Bag (Brown RuggedWear)
I have been an amateur photographer for 13 years. I have owned over a dozen carrying solutions over that time. But, I have found that I always need two bags (one for the camera and maybe a lens and/or a flash, and the other for the computer and miscellaneous items). I even bought a Tamron bag that would hold everything, but it was pretty bulky, so I stopped using it. I have lately been using a small Lowepro backpack, but it really wasn't working for me. I prefer a cross shoulder carry, as taking the backpack on and off to access the camera, or even just riding the buss was tiresome.This bag just works, it is comfortable to carry. The pouch fits my slate with enough room for a notepad or other folder. There is loads of room in the main compartment for the camera and all of the regular items I carry around daily. The absolute best thing about this bag is how easy it is to get the camera out quickly. No buckles, no zippers, just swing it a bit to the front, lift the flap and pull out the camera.
For me personally, the outside dimensions are great, it's about twice as thick as my regular leather briefcase. It fit's in my aftermarket motorcycle trunk perfectly. And, when the strap is at the right length, the weight distribution is comfortable.
The only thing that I would change is there could be a few more small pockets, and sleeves for a pen or two and maybe your business cards (fairly standard briefcase stuff).
I would recommend this bag for anyone who carries daily, and wants to be able to pull the camera out at a moments notice.
Pros:
Comfortable carry
Quick access
Lots of carry space
Fits a small to medium slate or laptop
Cons:
Needs a couple of small pockets and some organizer sleeves (pens, business cards, memory cards, batteries, etc.)
I hope you find this review helpful!

Cheap Riva 7023 (PU) Digital Camera Case dark blue
The case fits my Fuji FinePix T210 very well. Before I received it, I was worried about if the case would be too big and the camera would not stay tight in it, but the concern was gone when I got it and put my camera in. It was very satisfying.Anyway I have a New canon s100 (like the s95) the dimentions for this were off by 1/4" in length (approx) so my cam just barely didnt fit. But I say, it is well built and nifty. Had to dock a star just for the wrong length in description.

Reviews of Aktiv Pak AP400 All Weather Digital Camera & Photo/ Computer Laptop
I just got it and love the way I can adjust it to suit my needs. It is a great product!
I'm sure, as another reviewer said, the inside velcro sections could be a bit better material (stiffer), but keep in mind the cost of this pack.
The outer material seems like it will survive pretty much anything!
When it first arrived I thought this thing was gonna be a bit too huge and heavy. But after getting two camera bodies, two lenses and an assortment of filters etc, as well as a jacket tucked away and my tripod loaded, and threw it on my back, it is very comfortable and not near as heavy as I had imagined. (I'm 51 and only 5'8". I would imagine it would be even better for young 6-footers, lol...).
Besides now having an easy way to take EVERYTHING I may or may not need with me on day trips, I now also have my all-in-one carry-on bag for my camera & laptop, for air-travel!!!
I'm super-stocked with what I got for the money and HIGHLY recommend this "pak" to anyone looking for a very reasonable camera/tripod/laptop day bag!!!

Go ahead and buy it. You won't be sorry. That said, allow me to mention my only problems with this: I have a Canon camera back pack that I outgrew, so I got this one. I love it, but the material they use on the inside of the bag is too loose and flimsy, and pulls away from the padding. This makes it hard for things to stay in place, and the dividers are good, but could be made of a stronger material. If I could change anything about the backpack, this would be it. Make the lining less flimsy, and the dividers more rigid. The string pulls attached to the zippers come apart if you dare use them, too. BUT, this is a great camera bag, and I suggest that if you are on a budget, get this, you will find my rant up there is not that big a deal over all. Shoot, if you aren't on a budget, get it anyway. The bag functions well as it. I just wanted to voice my opinion. This is all why I only gave it a 4 star rating overall.Monday, February 3, 2014

I was looking for a non-descript, low profile bag that I can use to carry my d5100, 18-55 and 55-300 lens. Most cases are bulky, awkward and even worse a pain to carry. I looked for hours and feel this is perfect. Enough room to store the body wih either lens attached (facing down, supported by pads whereas other cases have the lens facing sideways running the risk of crushing it) and the other lens in the side compartment. There is also room to pack my point and shoot in the case while traveling, hold both battery chargers and a few other small accessories.
If you're looking for something convenient without bulk of some of the larger cases, this should be perfect for you!
It is a low profile bag which is superbly crafted. It has a zipper enclosure around the top of the bag under the top cover and a quick-release clip. The bag contains several pouches to hold a battery charger, spare battery, two extra memory chips, and a few other small accessories. An elasticized mesh side pocket provides convenient access to small light weight objects. The bag also contains several durable foam pads held on by Velcros to allow you to customize the inside.
While I really like the bag, I must say that it does limit what I can carry. The camera body and both lenses easily fill up the inside. However, what you do carry is well protected. Nikon D3200 owners beware. To put everything I purchased during my upgrade would undoubtedly require a much larger bag; which might not make me happy either. I would definitely recommend this bag if you want a small, easy to carry bag which will give your equipment maximum protection.

I like the bag very much. It's small, but I carry my D90 with 1 lens attached (18-55), plus another lens (55-200). Besides some small miscellaneous items, like IR remote, flash drive, battery charger, etc., there isn't much space left over. Maybe I could fit an external flash and small lens, but that would be about it. It has a zipper enclosure around the top of the bag under the top cover and a quick-release clip. I don't necessarily like the dual closure mechanisms, but I do at least like the zipper because I feel the contents are more secure. It comes with a rain cover that fits in a removable pouch attached to the outside of the bag. The rain cover/pouch is a little bulbous hanging off the bag and I can't picture myself actually using it unless I were caught unprotected in a driving rain, but I figure that as soon as I take it off is when I'll get caught in the rain!Best Deals for Tamrac 5562 Explorer 200 Camera Bag (Blue)

I bought this bag right before my trip overseas to carry my Olympus digital SLR, a flash, 2 lenses and a few filters. It is just right. Not to big to be in the way, but roomy enough to allow ease of getting lenses, camera etc out of the bag. The Front pocket/organization is great an keeps everything-memory cards etc, orderly and neat. The back pocket even has room to allow a travel guide book. Highly recommendedFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Tamrac 5562 Explorer 200 Camera Bag (Blue)
I bought the Tamrac Explorer 200 for an excursion with my Panasonic Lumix G2, 14-42mm kit zoom, and the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 pancake. This bag held the above kit with room to spare, and was the perfect size for travel. I could probably fit at least one more lens such as the Panasonic/Leica 45mm macro and/or the Lumix 7-14mm Ultra-Wide zoom. I also like the many pockets for accessories, as well as the included rain hood. One gets the secure feeling that one's gear is well-protected from both the elements and any rough handling. It is a Quality item inside and out! I've used Tamrac products for years, and highly recommend them, at least their line of shoulder bags.Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Case Logic Luminosity DSA-101 Action Camera Case (Black) Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $24.99
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The Case Logic DSA-101 "Action Camera Case" represents a market segmentation into those users who want protection for their camera(s) and associated equipment with a get up and go attitude.
Less structured, but providing some padding and cordura covering, this case can provide great protection for a variety of things. Drop it in, and cinch up the bag. This works for the clumsiest of users, those with bulky gloves or even only teeth and some knees. The simplicity is the draw. Once closed, while not water proof, protection is very good. Inside there are multiple pockets for batteries, lenses, storage cards, etc. While the feature set includes a statement, "Store up to two action cams.." two such items without any other protection would certainly shift and touch each other during any kind of movement, unless (and this certainly possible) a smaller camera could fit into the larger inside pockets. Some reflective materials are used inside to provide additional visibility to side accessory pockets, although this feature seems less necessary since most users sorting around inside for something like a battery or storage card are more likely to simply do this by touch alone. Construction quality is very good, and the outer surface while not bullet proof is bullet resistant.
The size of this case would indicate it can be used for items outside the current range, notably larger camera lenses. While it will not fit a fully fitted DSLR with a normal 200+ zoom, a smaller DSLR with a more compact lens will fit. For instance, a Canon D50 with an EF 24-105 fits inside. Of course, users may be hesitant about getting into any high movement activities with cameras of these configurations, but overall protection is good, albeit with some movement possible. Additionally, and potentially beneficial to this current reviewer, the space inside does fit a Canon EF 70-200 and Canon EF 100-400, providing softer side protection and allowing a quick drop in to many different bags, that the harder dedicated cases often cannot provide--like a larger "butt bag". Fixed higher 200+ lenses are going to be a stretch, depending on the configuration. (internal dimensions: 5.5 x 4.6 x 10 inches)
Overall simplicity and protection abilities make this camera case for active users who want an easy, quick, and versatile bag with less structure. Drop it in, get up and go!
If I were King of Case Logic, I'd change this product name to "action gear bag"or "electronics action bag," something like that. "Camera" is limiting. A better sell is for all of the various electronics we're all using now, the audio player, the phone(s), and all of that wretched ancillary gear.
The intricacies of the Easy-Cinch(TM) opening/closing took some study, and I finally figgered it out. While not prominent in the product literature's photos, the copy refers to gloves, so what we're looking at is an opening/closing system that's easy for cold weather, either with cold fingers or with gloves on. The closed nylon loop should be bigger by a good 50% for this to be effective.
I've got a Nikon D90 and with its standard 50mm lens it filled the bottom of the bag, with precious little left for other gear, even in the side pockets. With my standard wide-angle 18-50mm zoom on it, the camera barely fit inside, and at an awkward angle to boot. But is this bag really for the serious photographer with large-frame SLRs? Well, no. As the product literature shows, it's for folks with a small camera, a video camera, and all of the extra gear that goes with that kind of stuff.
So, my Panasonic Lumix fit in this bag just fine, with plenty of room left for batteries, the charger, extra memory cards, and the Flip video camera as well. And off we went.
The bag is rugged enough on the outside, and some modest testing showed it to be pretty water-repellent. Having recently had a camera damaged in a drop as it was inside a backpack, I paid particular attention to the padding at the bottom of this bag, and I don't think it's adequate. I'd add at least another ¼" of foam padding to the bottom of the bag, and would give strong consideration to adding padding all around. That being said, more padding would make it a bit more bulky, a little bit heavier, less flexible and would increase the cost, too.
The bottom consists of non-skid rubber, with most of the sides of the bag of a micro-fiber woven Cordura-like nylon, thick and strong. There is a small amount of padding behind the nylon sides, about the same as the bottom. This cordura side does not go all the way around the bag, but is on the "back," the place where it will likely connect to a backpack or something else via the included snaplock. There is a front part of the bag that is nothing but thin ripstop nylon, very thin.
The interior does have 360 storage, as proclaimed. This consists only of open pockets, three of them mesh and one nylon. There is no way to close any of the pockets. A simple Velcro tab might be good to help keep these closed. My D90's modest 50-150mm telephoto lens did not fit into any of the side pockets (not that this matters, as there is no room in the bag with the D90 anyway).
Bottom line: this is not a bad piece of kit for those with modest electronic gear needing a central place to keep it, move it, and be able to get to it quickly. I see this bag as a good start, and at a reasonable price. It should be marketed as an electronic gear bag, not just a camera bag, and with a few modest modifications it could really be something useful.
My primary camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8700, with a lens hood that makes the camera about the size of a DSLR. I also have a couple of small point-and-shoots. Here are a few ways I've been using the Luminosity:
*When I only want to carry a camera, lens cloth, spare battery, and memory card. A fabric loop-plus-carabiner on the side of the bag makes it easy to clip the bag to a belt, a backpack daisy chain, or any other handy attachment point. It also has a rubberized bottom so that you don't have to worry about momentarily setting the bag down somewhere wet (note that it is not a dry bag).
*As a protective shroud when I'm carrying my big camera on its neck strap. The bag is very light and opens/closes very quickly and easily using its drawstring system.
*In situations where weight and bulk need to be minimized, such as trekking or minimizing an airplane carryon.
There is something that needs to be improved, though. Only a single stitch attaches the various loops and handles to the bag. A sturdier, more robust stitching or anchoring technique should have been used in these high-stress areas.
Bottom line: I wish I had picked up a Luminosity Action Camera Bag a long time ago. It has become a key component of my shooting gear. I'm deducting one star for the single stitch attachments because it probably will become necessary to get minor repairs done on the bag. Four stars.
ѾѾѾѾ Recommended with warm fuzzies.
փ Positives:
փ This bag is ideally suited for carrying weatherproofed action video camcorders like GoPro and Contour along with accessories.
փ The drawstring cinching action works very well to quickly open and securely close the bag.
փ The inside of the bag is lined with four webbed pockets and one nylon pocket of various sizes for lots of flexible storage options.
փ The bag includes a carabiner attached to a sewn-in nylon loop for clipping the bag to other belts, backpacks, etc.
փ The non-slip bottom allows the bag to easy stand upright on its own.
ჯ Negatives:
ჯ While the rear, bottom, and sides are padded, the front of this bag is jut one thin layer of nylon and does not provide any cushion protection.
ჯ The interior pockets should have a zipper or Velcro closure to prevent items from falling out.
Although the Amazon product listing currently describes this as a "Luminosity DSA-101 Action Camera Case", it really is not a camera "case", and Case Logic calls this their "Luminosity Action Camera Bag". So perhaps the "DSA" in the DSA-101 model number should mean "DrawString Action" or "Duffel Sack Action"? At the time of this review's writing, the 'Product Description' incorrectly lists this as 'Fits Devices 5.5"(l) x 4.6"(w) x 10"(h)'. This is incorrect, and should say: 'Fits Devices 5.5"(l) x 4.6"(w) x 9.1"(h)'. After all, it is not physically possible for a bag with an external height of 9.3" to have internal dimensions that fit a device that is 10" long. Although this bag is ideally suited for carrying weatherproofed action video camcorders such as GoPro and Contour, you can carry other electronics gear in this bag. The product description says that you can store "up to two action-cams" with accessories. This bag is roomy enough to carry at least three or four action cameras or point-and-shoot-sized cameras as long as you can organize them so that they do not bounce against each other during transport. And there is plenty of room to bring along other mounting hardware or a GorillaPod flexible tripod.
While this bag can hold a large DSLR camera or 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens, it is not a good bag for carrying larger electronics because there is insufficient padding around the entire bag to fully protect this kind of heavier gear. While the rear, bottom, and sides are slightly padded, the front of this bag has a triangular panel consisting of just one single thin layer of ripstop nylon. I really wish that this front section was also padded like the rest of the bag. Using full wraparound padding would have added a small bit of weight to the 4.2-ounce bag, but the extra cushion protection would be useful for protecting electronics that are being carried in it. Although GoPro and Contour cameras are fairly sturdy devices, I would still prefer that this bag be completely padded just in case it gets bumped around.
This bag is entirely made of nylon. The interior of the bag is lined with blue nylon on its padded rear, bottom, and sides, and the front of the interior consists of the single layer of unpadded black nylon. The bag that I received slightly differs from a product photo that is currently posted for this bag. The product photo shows a cutaway view where there are two webbed pockets on the rear panel, two taller webbed pockets on both sides, and two overlapping nylon pockets on the front panel. My bag's interior has two webbed pockets on the rear panel, one taller webbed pocket on one side, one taller nylon pocket on the other side, and one webbed pocket on the front panel. Regardless of which pocket arrangement is used for the bag that you receive, this does provide for lots of flexible options to store other accessories such as memory cards, batteries, cables, smartphone, MP3 player, earbud headphones, snack bars, etc.
The interior pockets are too loose to securely hold memory cards, batteries, and other small items. This not a problem if this bag remains upright at all times. But since this is supposed to be an "action camera bag", when I tried hooking this bag to my CamelBak backpack while mountain biking rough technical terrain, I found that my memory cards, batteries, and other accessories had all fallen out of the pockets early on during my ride. To fix this problem, I ended up cutting narrow quarter-inch-wide strips of adhesive-backed "Industrial Strength Velcro Tape" and I lined the mouth of each pocket with the Velcro. So now the interior pockets of my bag are all outfitted with Velcro closures and my stuff no longer falls out of them :-) But it would have been nice if this bag already had zippers or Velcro sewn into them to hold items more securely.
The drawstring closure is innovative and allows the bag to be quickly opened and closed. To open the bag, you pull two nylon loop handles in opposite directions. To close the bag, you grab hold of two hypalon (synthetic rubber) tabs and pull them in opposite directions. Drawstring closures usually either can become loose or require you to slide a clasp along the drawstring to prevent the string loop from loosening the closure. This bag also uses a clasp to prevent the drawstring from inadvertently loosening, but you just have to set it up once and there is no need to adjust the clasp with each opening/closing of this bag. Since I often take cameras along while skiing or snowshoeing, I tried opening and closing this bag while wearing ski gloves. Opening the bag is very easy while wearing ski gloves since the two nylon loops are so easy to grab. Closing the bag is also still easy because the small thumbnail-sized hypalon pull-tab is attached to the drawstring and I can just pull on the drawstring loop, while the other hypalon tab is three inches long and still easy to grab while wearing ski gloves. While the two hypalon pull tabs and two nylon pull loops are attached to the bag using two layers of stitching and they seem quite durable, if any of the two tabs or pull loops separate from the bag due to stitching failure/fatigue, you can still open and close the bag, but it becomes more cumbersome. So I would not use extreme force when pulling these tabs and loops.
The top-rear of the bag has a nylon loop sewn into the bag, and the bag includes a carabiner for clipping the bag to your belt, backpack, other bags, etc. Since the bag includes a pull-loop handle that you pull when opening up the bag, you can also clip the carabiner to the front-facing loop if you need that setup for some reason.
Case Logic advertises that "through snow, dirt, water and sand, action-cam users vary in activities". While the top of this bag can be very tightly cinch closed, there is still a possibility that a little bit of water, rain, melted snow, or mud may drip into the tiny hole that still remains after the top of the bag is closed up. This will not matter if waterproof action cameras are stored inside, but it is something to consider if, for instance, you want to strap this bag to your waist while whitewater rafting.
Overall, this is a nice bag to accompany your GoPro or Contour action camcorder. It is too big to just carry a point-and-shoot camera, and it is not designed (or sufficiently padded) for carrying DSLR cameras or lenses. I would have rated this 5 stars, instead of 4, if it included full wraparound padding on its front panel and if the interior pockets could be closed using zippers or Velcro. This bag is overpriced if sold at $25 or $30, but it is more reasonable if you can buy this for $15 or $20.

Some reflective materials are used inside to provide additional visibility to side accessory pockets, although this feature seems less necessary since most users sorting around inside for something like a battery or storage card are more likely to simply do this by touch alone. Construction quality is very good, and the outer surface while not bullet proof is bullet resistant.
The size of this case would indicate it can be used for items outside the current range, notably larger camera lenses. While it will not fit a fully fitted DSLR with a normal 200+ zoom, a smaller DSLR with a more compact lens will fit. For instance, a Canon D50 with an EF 24-105 fits inside. Of course, users may be hesitant about getting into any high movement activities with cameras of these configurations, but overall protection is good, albeit with some movement possible. Additionally, and potentially beneficial to this current reviewer, the space inside does fit a Canon EF 70-200 and Canon EF 100-400, providing softer side protection and allowing a quick drop in to many different bags, that the harder dedicated cases often cannot provide--like a larger "butt bag". Fixed higher 200+ lenses are going to be a stretch, depending on the configuration. (internal dimensions: 5.5 x 4.6 x 10 inches)
Overall simplicity and protection abilities make this camera case for active users who want an easy, quick, and versatile bag with less structure. Drop it in, get up and go!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First off, what is this "luminosity" name? What does this have to do with the bag? It sounds cool, now, happenin', but it sure doesn't have to do with reflected/emanated light, as this bag is all black, and mighty dark on the inside. Maybe it's the "enlightened" or "brilliant" aspect. I dunno.If I were King of Case Logic, I'd change this product name to "action gear bag"or "electronics action bag," something like that. "Camera" is limiting. A better sell is for all of the various electronics we're all using now, the audio player, the phone(s), and all of that wretched ancillary gear.
The intricacies of the Easy-Cinch(TM) opening/closing took some study, and I finally figgered it out. While not prominent in the product literature's photos, the copy refers to gloves, so what we're looking at is an opening/closing system that's easy for cold weather, either with cold fingers or with gloves on. The closed nylon loop should be bigger by a good 50% for this to be effective.
I've got a Nikon D90 and with its standard 50mm lens it filled the bottom of the bag, with precious little left for other gear, even in the side pockets. With my standard wide-angle 18-50mm zoom on it, the camera barely fit inside, and at an awkward angle to boot. But is this bag really for the serious photographer with large-frame SLRs? Well, no. As the product literature shows, it's for folks with a small camera, a video camera, and all of the extra gear that goes with that kind of stuff.
So, my Panasonic Lumix fit in this bag just fine, with plenty of room left for batteries, the charger, extra memory cards, and the Flip video camera as well. And off we went.
The bag is rugged enough on the outside, and some modest testing showed it to be pretty water-repellent. Having recently had a camera damaged in a drop as it was inside a backpack, I paid particular attention to the padding at the bottom of this bag, and I don't think it's adequate. I'd add at least another ¼" of foam padding to the bottom of the bag, and would give strong consideration to adding padding all around. That being said, more padding would make it a bit more bulky, a little bit heavier, less flexible and would increase the cost, too.
The bottom consists of non-skid rubber, with most of the sides of the bag of a micro-fiber woven Cordura-like nylon, thick and strong. There is a small amount of padding behind the nylon sides, about the same as the bottom. This cordura side does not go all the way around the bag, but is on the "back," the place where it will likely connect to a backpack or something else via the included snaplock. There is a front part of the bag that is nothing but thin ripstop nylon, very thin.
The interior does have 360 storage, as proclaimed. This consists only of open pockets, three of them mesh and one nylon. There is no way to close any of the pockets. A simple Velcro tab might be good to help keep these closed. My D90's modest 50-150mm telephoto lens did not fit into any of the side pockets (not that this matters, as there is no room in the bag with the D90 anyway).
Bottom line: this is not a bad piece of kit for those with modest electronic gear needing a central place to keep it, move it, and be able to get to it quickly. I see this bag as a good start, and at a reasonable price. It should be marketed as an electronic gear bag, not just a camera bag, and with a few modest modifications it could really be something useful.
Best Deals for Case Logic Luminosity DSA-101 Action Camera Case (Black)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program How can a photographer's version of a sleeping bag stuff sack become indispensable? Simple. It's because the Case Logic Luminosity Action Camera Bag is well designed, is useful in both urban and wilderness environments, and allows me to go fast and light when I don't want to drag around my main camera bag.My primary camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8700, with a lens hood that makes the camera about the size of a DSLR. I also have a couple of small point-and-shoots. Here are a few ways I've been using the Luminosity:
*When I only want to carry a camera, lens cloth, spare battery, and memory card. A fabric loop-plus-carabiner on the side of the bag makes it easy to clip the bag to a belt, a backpack daisy chain, or any other handy attachment point. It also has a rubberized bottom so that you don't have to worry about momentarily setting the bag down somewhere wet (note that it is not a dry bag).
*As a protective shroud when I'm carrying my big camera on its neck strap. The bag is very light and opens/closes very quickly and easily using its drawstring system.
*In situations where weight and bulk need to be minimized, such as trekking or minimizing an airplane carryon.
There is something that needs to be improved, though. Only a single stitch attaches the various loops and handles to the bag. A sturdier, more robust stitching or anchoring technique should have been used in these high-stress areas.
Bottom line: I wish I had picked up a Luminosity Action Camera Bag a long time ago. It has become a key component of my shooting gear. I'm deducting one star for the single stitch attachments because it probably will become necessary to get minor repairs done on the bag. Four stars.

Although the Amazon product listing currently describes this as a "Luminosity DSA-101 Action Camera Case", it really is not a camera "case", and Case Logic calls this their "Luminosity Action Camera Bag". So perhaps the "DSA" in the DSA-101 model number should mean "DrawString Action" or "Duffel Sack Action"? At the time of this review's writing, the 'Product Description' incorrectly lists this as 'Fits Devices 5.5"(l) x 4.6"(w) x 10"(h)'. This is incorrect, and should say: 'Fits Devices 5.5"(l) x 4.6"(w) x 9.1"(h)'. After all, it is not physically possible for a bag with an external height of 9.3" to have internal dimensions that fit a device that is 10" long. Although this bag is ideally suited for carrying weatherproofed action video camcorders such as GoPro and Contour, you can carry other electronics gear in this bag. The product description says that you can store "up to two action-cams" with accessories. This bag is roomy enough to carry at least three or four action cameras or point-and-shoot-sized cameras as long as you can organize them so that they do not bounce against each other during transport. And there is plenty of room to bring along other mounting hardware or a GorillaPod flexible tripod.
While this bag can hold a large DSLR camera or 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens, it is not a good bag for carrying larger electronics because there is insufficient padding around the entire bag to fully protect this kind of heavier gear. While the rear, bottom, and sides are slightly padded, the front of this bag has a triangular panel consisting of just one single thin layer of ripstop nylon. I really wish that this front section was also padded like the rest of the bag. Using full wraparound padding would have added a small bit of weight to the 4.2-ounce bag, but the extra cushion protection would be useful for protecting electronics that are being carried in it. Although GoPro and Contour cameras are fairly sturdy devices, I would still prefer that this bag be completely padded just in case it gets bumped around.
This bag is entirely made of nylon. The interior of the bag is lined with blue nylon on its padded rear, bottom, and sides, and the front of the interior consists of the single layer of unpadded black nylon. The bag that I received slightly differs from a product photo that is currently posted for this bag. The product photo shows a cutaway view where there are two webbed pockets on the rear panel, two taller webbed pockets on both sides, and two overlapping nylon pockets on the front panel. My bag's interior has two webbed pockets on the rear panel, one taller webbed pocket on one side, one taller nylon pocket on the other side, and one webbed pocket on the front panel. Regardless of which pocket arrangement is used for the bag that you receive, this does provide for lots of flexible options to store other accessories such as memory cards, batteries, cables, smartphone, MP3 player, earbud headphones, snack bars, etc.
The interior pockets are too loose to securely hold memory cards, batteries, and other small items. This not a problem if this bag remains upright at all times. But since this is supposed to be an "action camera bag", when I tried hooking this bag to my CamelBak backpack while mountain biking rough technical terrain, I found that my memory cards, batteries, and other accessories had all fallen out of the pockets early on during my ride. To fix this problem, I ended up cutting narrow quarter-inch-wide strips of adhesive-backed "Industrial Strength Velcro Tape" and I lined the mouth of each pocket with the Velcro. So now the interior pockets of my bag are all outfitted with Velcro closures and my stuff no longer falls out of them :-) But it would have been nice if this bag already had zippers or Velcro sewn into them to hold items more securely.
The drawstring closure is innovative and allows the bag to be quickly opened and closed. To open the bag, you pull two nylon loop handles in opposite directions. To close the bag, you grab hold of two hypalon (synthetic rubber) tabs and pull them in opposite directions. Drawstring closures usually either can become loose or require you to slide a clasp along the drawstring to prevent the string loop from loosening the closure. This bag also uses a clasp to prevent the drawstring from inadvertently loosening, but you just have to set it up once and there is no need to adjust the clasp with each opening/closing of this bag. Since I often take cameras along while skiing or snowshoeing, I tried opening and closing this bag while wearing ski gloves. Opening the bag is very easy while wearing ski gloves since the two nylon loops are so easy to grab. Closing the bag is also still easy because the small thumbnail-sized hypalon pull-tab is attached to the drawstring and I can just pull on the drawstring loop, while the other hypalon tab is three inches long and still easy to grab while wearing ski gloves. While the two hypalon pull tabs and two nylon pull loops are attached to the bag using two layers of stitching and they seem quite durable, if any of the two tabs or pull loops separate from the bag due to stitching failure/fatigue, you can still open and close the bag, but it becomes more cumbersome. So I would not use extreme force when pulling these tabs and loops.
The top-rear of the bag has a nylon loop sewn into the bag, and the bag includes a carabiner for clipping the bag to your belt, backpack, other bags, etc. Since the bag includes a pull-loop handle that you pull when opening up the bag, you can also clip the carabiner to the front-facing loop if you need that setup for some reason.
Case Logic advertises that "through snow, dirt, water and sand, action-cam users vary in activities". While the top of this bag can be very tightly cinch closed, there is still a possibility that a little bit of water, rain, melted snow, or mud may drip into the tiny hole that still remains after the top of the bag is closed up. This will not matter if waterproof action cameras are stored inside, but it is something to consider if, for instance, you want to strap this bag to your waist while whitewater rafting.
Overall, this is a nice bag to accompany your GoPro or Contour action camcorder. It is too big to just carry a point-and-shoot camera, and it is not designed (or sufficiently padded) for carrying DSLR cameras or lenses. I would have rated this 5 stars, instead of 4, if it included full wraparound padding on its front panel and if the interior pockets could be closed using zippers or Velcro. This bag is overpriced if sold at $25 or $30, but it is more reasonable if you can buy this for $15 or $20.
