Reviews of Precision Design 1000 Deluxe Digital SLR System Camera Case

Customer Ratings:

This was a wonderful buy. It perfectly fits my Sony A230 DSLR camera, two lenses, flash attachments, and all my miscellaneous gear. The buckles are easy to use and the bag works well either from my shoulder or sitting on a table.

This was an average and nice bag. It was just not as sturdy looking, in person, as I'd expected it to be. It was also a lot bigger than I need. Otherwise, it is good for the money.

The case is pretty reasonable, especially for the price. The only real flaw is the interior Velcro strap that holds the camera in place it is too short. It barely latches around the camera. That's a big flaw though, considering it is a camera case.

Discount Leica 18752 D-Lux 5 Leather Case

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this Leather Case for the D-Lux 5, but decided to return it as found it not functional for using the D-Lux 5.

The design of the case fits very tight the camera, therefore you need a strap to pull it out, and the case has no strap for the camera included (D-Lux 4 case from Leica had it). The problem is that you can not either use the original strap that comes with the D-Lux 5, as the camera will not fit inside the case. Therefore is a very good looking case, but is not functional due to the missing strap for the camera.

After purchasing a D-Lux 5 I was unable to find this case anywhere online, but managed to get one at the Leica shop in Singapore. The quality is first class, as you would expect from Leica, both inside and out. As another reviewer pointed out this is not a "point and shoot" case, but rather a carrying case which works well with a wrist strap instead of a neck strap. I cannot imagine why Leica did not include a wrist strap with the D-Lux 5, but I highly recommend getting one to use with this case. With a wrist strap attached the camera is quickly and safely removed for shooting. I enjoy using this case with my D-Lux 5, as the camera is out of the way and protected when walking while leaving my hands free, but quickly retrieved when shooting opportunities arise.

I believe a major reason people purchase the D-Lux 5 over the Panasonic LX5 is for the great history of Leica, and perhaps some very slight styling differences. If this is important to you and you enjoy the nostalgia of photography and Leica then this is the perfect accessory for your camera.

I love my new Leica D-Lux 5, & adore the case being reviewed. I purchased the brown leather version, though it comes in black as well (though I am told it is not nearly as elegant in black). It really is a beautifully crafted case for an exquisite camera. It comes with a long leather strap, which I never use, which clips onto either side of the case. Honestly, it's a rather feminine look with the strap (which is fine, of course), but I prefer to loop it through my belt, & it is always at my side. It has a magnetic "snap" at the bottom on the case, which works really well & has a nice feel to it. It has never opened without my intentionally doing so. The camera fits quite snugly within, & feels secure. The only downside has more to do with the camera's design, perhaps, than the case, but they are unfortunately related. As the texture of the camera is SO smooth, it often feels in danger of slipping out of my grip, which it has on a number of occasions, actually. Luckily, I am neurotic enough to never take the camera out of the case without first looping the wrist strap (which comes with the case) around my wrist. I would highly recommend doing so. The look of the design, with the wrist strap hanging alongside the case itself, is quite nice, & is effective. However, as I found the camera to be so smooth in texture, hence so insecure in my hands, I purchased the hand grip accessory, which screws into the bottom of the camera & significantly (though not entirely) increases my hold on the camera. The only problem is this: the camera will not fit in the case with the hand grip attached, which means I must continually attach & re-attach it every time I take the camera from its case, if I wish to use that accessory. This also means, of course, that I must somehow carry the hand grip separately from the camera, which is honestly quite annoying. I can't understand why the camera wasn't designed with the hand grip & the case subsequently designed to hold the camera as such. That not-with-standing, the case itself is LOVELY...that's the word for it. Even considering the flaw just described, I highly recommend the case. It is the case both made for & worthy of the Leica D-Lux 5.

Honest reviews on Leica 18752 D-Lux 5 Leather Case

Appearance/build: the case is well built and supports the camera nicely. The (brown) leather is lighter than it appears on my computer screen, the "Leica" brand on the lens cover more subdued, and there are minor but noticeable flaws in the leather/dyeing. While good looking, the case looks better on line (Amazon or Leica web sites). The stitching and build are solid, and look like they will last for a very long time.

Storage: the camera fits snugly and appears to be well protected/cushioned. The adjustable shoulder strap looks and works great. The belt loop is stitched well and is securely and snugly attached to the back of the case. The case is held shut by a magnetic flap, which works well. I have found the camera easy to extract from the case, whether the case is on your belt or the shoulder strap.

Minuses: The shoulder strap that came with the camera does not fit in the case, giving you the choice of removing the strap from the camera or having the strap hang out of the case (neither attractive nor functional). Third party straps will have the same problems. The case works better with a wrist strap (NOT supplied with the case), but the strap hangs out of the case. Of course, the case does not work with a view finder or hand grip.

Overall: a nice looking, well constructed storage/travel case that is not that functional when I am actually using the camera. For practical reasons (as well as looks), I don't like having straps hang out of my camera case, and I DO need a strap (wrist or shoulder/neck) to protect my camera. There are (non-Leica) alternatives that are much more functional and protect the camera just as well. The leather's flaws are minor but, combined with the lack of functionality, should be considered when looking at a $100+ camera case.

I purchased this product a month ago. When I received, it was just as expected true Leica leather with high quality and vintage design and it fits well and tight the camera. However, it was only made to fit the camera itself with no additional accessories installed on the D-lux 5 like the hand grip or the viewfinder (that's why I gave it 4 stars). From a personal taste, I would have preferred if they had made a black color as well.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of buying the D-lux 5.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My review of the Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW camera backpack. In a word, wonderful! In two words: five stars!

The minute the Lowepro arrived my wife began eying the bag. In nothing flat she was unzipping it, looking at all the compartments, and telling me all the things she could use it for. She was amazed at the number of pockets, and she commented on how everything was padded. I icily pointed out that it was for camera use only. Something tells me my dinner will be frosty for a night or two. So what, it is going to be worth it. I'll hide the knives.

I unloaded my old camera bag and placed my Olympus into the new Lowepro bag. There was lots of room, and everything that I had stuffed into my old bag easily fit into the Pro Runner 350 AW. The central camera area has adjustable Velcro compartments that are heavily padded. The Velcro is super good. I know `cause it took me quite a tug to get the compartment adjusters ripped out. For a fellow with arthritis the tug hurts a bit, but once the dividers were into their new positions I was glad they were firmly in. The Pro Runner also has room for your Laptop, (yes, a laptop computer), cell phone, pens, documents, small tripod, and a host of other items including keys. I think I can easily find a spot for my aspirin. All six bottles.

The carrying straps are padded beyond belief, and there is a waist belt to hold it firmly on your back. And there is, of course, a carrying handle. Not just any carrying handle, but a rubberize handle with plenty of width for my extra large sized hand swollen knuckles and all. No gloves needed to carry this baby. It feels good in the hand.

OK, so how do I know the bag will protect the camera? That is, after all, its key job. Well, it is heavily padded, the zippers are super wide (plus they zip and unzip easily), and they seem to be super tough. Not the kind of zipper that is going to rip open or unzip due to being flung about.

But, there is nothing like a test. So I went to the top of my stairs with the bag, loaded with my camera and all its gear, and tossed it down the stairs. The bottom of the stairs in my place is a tile floor. The bag bounced nicely down the stairs and onto the tile below. I also dropped the bag by holding it at arm's length over my head and letting it go. Another nice bounce.

I opened the bag and had a look. The camera's lens cover had popped off, but no other changes. Nothing moved at all in any of the camera compartments, and even my keys and pens stayed put. Also, I have to give the bag points for not allowing any dog hair into its compartments. After it hit the bottom of the stairs it was covered in dog hair big time. My wife will hear about this! Errr... maybe not. One crisis at a time.

Ok, now to the negative. One must lay long lenses down in the bag. This will not be a problem if they are fat lenses, but narrow ones will leave a gap between the top of the compartment and the lens. Just put something in that will stop any movement and it should be fine. My camera bounced within its compartment, I think, and that is the reason the lens cap popped off. Still, not a really big difficulty. A small towel or washcloth could solve that dilemma in a flash. The Velcro compartment dividers are hard to rip out and put back in. This will not be a problem for a photographer like myself who keeps the same equipment for decades, but it will be a pain for anyone who wants to change the compartments a lot... do you hear that honey? Of course, the company had to make them hard to jar loose, so that is just the price of quality in this particular system. The bag is black, which is fine in many many ways. Black makes it hard for a thief to determine that it is a camera bag, unlike the silver cases. Those silver cases just scream "steal me." The problem with the black bag is it shows the dog hair like you can't believe! Where did she hide the vacuum?

I like the bag! No, my wife is not going to get it for cosmetics or anything else. A camera bag it is, and a camera bag it will stay. I just hope she can't find a way to get it anyway.... No, I don't have life insurance...

I was looking for a bag for vacations and short trips to carry everything in one package: my laptop, Nikon D90, Speedlight, monopod, Nikon 18-200 lens, Sigma 150-500 lens, personal items & accessories, such as chargers, batteries, and some carry on items for flights. With all of the pockets and adjustable compartments, I can do all of this with room to spare! I really like how the tripod/monopod holder secures the pod from sliding in any direction. Yes, this bag when loaded is bulky and somewhat heavy but the shoulder and waist straps are well padded and designed so that it is more comfortable to wear than I would have predicted. I wore it for four hours recently and felt no strain or discomfort. I expect it to last indefinitely due to the heavy construction. The rain cover is a plus. This bag is in addition to a smaller Lowepro shoulder bag I have when I don't need to carry everything I own. I went with Lowepro since my other bag has held up well for three years.

Best Deals for Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW DSLR Backpack (Black)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a serious backpack...it's meant for carrying camera equipment but would work well for anything you want to protect against breakage if there's a bit of rough handling.

The backpack contains many well-padded compartments, and I really like the way the compartments are implemented...they're not sewn in place, but are all done using velcro so they can be moved around, resized, etc to fit whatever odd-shaped gear you are carrying.

The backpack is not lightweight, which is not surprising considering all the padding...and it's a large pack, again not surprising.

I will use it for traveling with my electronic gadgetry and pretty much anything I don't want broken.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW DSLR Backpack (Black)

This backpack works great for camera gear. It's a little bulky, but your gear will be safe. The problem is it's also supposed to hold a 15 inch MacBook Pro. Here's the thing -if you can squeeze your MBP in there, you will have the hardest time getting it out. I literally have to yank and squeeze and tuck and pull and wrench all my fingers around my MBP before I can get it out. And in the process of all the pulling, compress the laptop's case, which Lords knows what kind of damage that is causing to the laptop. It's not worth it so now I can't use the backpack to bring my laptop anywhere, which means this backpack is pretty much a fail for that function. So to sum up, great camera bag, just don't buy it for your 15 inch MacBook Pro because you will have the hardest time getting it out.

I bought this bag because I needed a way to carry a laptop and camera equipment on a plane to Arizona. As of this writing, it does fit guidelines for carryon luggage. I already own two smaller Lowepro bags. So going back to Lowepro was an easy decision. I found this bag to be really well made, well designed and very comfortable to wear. It is also attractively made/looks business like and does NOT scream camera bag. For this reason, I think it will be safer to carry around.

My one beef and the one thing that caused the greatest challenge when choosing which bag to buy was finding something that would fit my 15.4" laptop. It's a recent model Dell Latitude E6500 with an extended battery that sticks out the back an extra inch. According to the specs on their website, Lowepro seems to design the laptop section with rather tight tolerances. Fortunately, there is just enough room to fit my laptop. My beef is... There is "only just enough" room not in depth for the extra battery, but in height and width. Sliding my late model, fairly slim (1.25" thick) laptop into this bag takes some effort pushing/stuffing. Lowepro says the compartment is 1.8" thick. Getting the laptop back out takes even more effort and definitely two hands. Part of the problem seems to be that the zipper isn't long enough to allow "proper" access to the slot for the laptop. You have to sort of inch your laptop up to and then wiggle it past the zipper before it will come out. Lowepro could have and likely should have given just a little more height to this section and/or added a slightly longer zipper. Adding a zipper that is even an extra inch longer would have made access to a laptop so much easier. (If someone from Lowepro is reading this, please make this change.) This is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5. If you own an older, thicker or slightly oversized laptop, it may not fit in this bag at all. You should take measurements of your laptop and compare them to the specs on the Lowepro site BEFORE you buy this bag. My laptop's dimensions are easily within the Lowepro specs and "just barely" fit. On the upside, the laptop section is on the back (side next to your back) of the bag for proper weight distribution and is very well padded.

The balance of my review could be summed up with, "Oh my gosh what a wonderful bag!" It has a large front pocket with room for files and a number of smaller pockets for pens, mp3 player, etc. There's also another smaller pocket on the front outside that is the perfect size for my airline tickets. On the side is a stretch mesh pocket just big enough for a small water bottle. There are a total of 8 SlipLock strips for Lowepro's add-on accessories scattered all over this bag front, side and straps. There is a removable tripod holder and an all weather cover if you get caught in the rain.

The straps are well padded and very comfortable. The back of the bag, where it comes in contact with your back, is also well padded adding to the comfort. The whole backpack is quite comfortable to wear, especially for a bag of this size. The bottom (belt) straps tuck into a compartment on the back of the bag when you don't need them. If you're going to be wearing it for a while, the bottom belt is also well padded, holds the bag more securely and helps to support the weight. This bag loaded down could be quite heavy. If your dashing through an airport or taking it on and off a lot, the top straps work just fine.

Inside is your typical Lowepro genius. Very well padded, soft materials and great protection for all your electronics and lenses. The dividers are completely adjustable. You could easily store 2 camera bodies with lenses on, 4 or more additional lenses AND flash, charger, batteries, etc. The bag is shaped in such a way (rectangular) where you could fit a body and up to 3 long lenses. On the insdie of the cover are 3 large clear plastic zipper pockets and two SD pockets with velcro covers.

It is a great bag. And, I plan to keep it. My one caution is, if the laptop section is important to you, make sure you check your measurements first.

How hard is it to measure the screen and make the template the right size? How come they were able to make a fairly well fitted one for the iphone but not for this camera? A shame. 5 stars for the material quality, one star off for price and one for the small size (at least 2 mm too small).

Cheap Tenba Shootout Sling Bag - Medium

Customer Ratings:

[TENBA Shootout, medium size, black.]

Let me first say that just like there is no perfect camera, there is also no perfect sling-bag (or any kind of a gear-bag for that matter). Everything depends on your particular situation. Sling-bags are either too small, too big, too difficult to switch between carrying and shooting modes, or their shape may be too awkward to accomodate your stuff in a logical and convenient way. So, mine is just a personal opinion that may or may not apply to your particular needs. Also, nobody should compare the functionality, convenience and comfort of use of sling-bags in relation to photo-backpacks or shoulder bags. All three have different uses and are completely different from one another.

Over the last seven years, I have bought and used 5 sling-bags from 3 different manufacturers (TAMRAC Velocity 6 and 7, LOWE PRO Slingshot 200AW and 300AW and TENBA Shootout Medium).

Tenba has been the last one on my list of preferences mainly because it looks quite awful in all product shots I have ever seen, both in print and online. But not long ago, I read a Shutterbug review and it made me think again about the Tenba sling-bag.

What I found out as a result of comparing all three systems, was that for small compact or hybrid camera there is no bad choice. All three systems (in appropriate sizes) work similarly well. In case of a DSLR system, though, things do not look the same.

The shape of Tamrac Velocity series does not allow to fully utilize the size of the bag for fitting an adeqate amount of gear. But it is certainly the best choice for street photography, when you don't need to carry a lot of gear with you. And it looks best of the 3 systems.

Lowe Pro Slingshot is not bad, but the difference between consecutive sizes is too big and changing from carrying to shooting mode is quick enough only if you carry the bag all the time in a manner appropriate for shooting mode (low on the back). In the aesthetics department, Lowe Pro seems very conservative and plain. The all-weather cover is implemented in the best possible way.

Tenba not only looks much better in real life than in product shots, but it also offers the most intelligent and pro-oriented design, with more useful features than the other two. Tenba represents to me the best combination of size-to-capacity ratio, ease of access to the equipment and ease of change between carrying and shooting modes, quality of materials/craftsmanship and aesthetics. It is the only one of the three systems that allows a configuration for carrying (and very easy access to) a body with a long lens attached to it, has a built-in facility for secure strapping of a small tripod and has a built-in 'bungee'-cord holder for a water bottle. The only negative I can find in its design is the fact that a rain/snow cover is stashed in such a way, that it takes up almost all the space in an outside pocket, preventing the use of that pocket for anything else.

So, Tenba Shootout became my sling-bag of choice, especially for occasions when I shoot landscapes and outdoors portraits.

This is one of four bags that I have in my collection. This is the perfect bag to take on short trips into the city or on a nature walk into the woods. It lets you pull out your camera, while you are still walking, and shoot your shot and put it back into the bag. I use to miss shots while traveling but now I am able to get them and still have my equipment protected. The zipper seem to seal themselves shut to protect from water. I carry one camera with lens, second camera body, flash w/GF difuser, 3 lenes and most important it holds a tripod. None of the other sling bags that I found hold a tripod.

Best Deals for Tenba Shootout Sling Bag - Medium

This bag does perform as advertised very nicely. I do find it's not as comfortable as a regular back-pack, but it does offer quicker access. Reasonable trade-off.

I carry a D90 w/lense, and two additional lenses and accessories. There is no good way to carry filters. Some padded pockets would be nice, maybe there's after-market available?

**I had my top-handle pull off the bag on the flight to Hawaii. An email sent to Tenba was answered within an hour to my cell phone, and a new bag was overnited to my hotel. They did ask for a CC number that would be discarded once they recieved my old bag back. (also sent pre-paid shipping label for return)

Anything this bag lacks, the company made up for with superb customer service!

Honest reviews on Tenba Shootout Sling Bag - Medium

This bag is very nice. There are some good things about it and other that can be improved. Let's start with the good ones. First the bag is very spacious for the size of it. This means that you control where the things go. One of the great things about this bag is that you can customize it however you want depending on the equipment that you want to carry. The design of the bag is very ingenious. It allows you to have easy and fast access to your camera and you don't have to take off the bag to do this. I have no problems carrying lenses, batteries, charger, memory media, flashes, remotes control, tripods or monopods. The bag is very comfortable when it is worn the right way. Here are some negative things that can be improved. Sometimes I need to take the bag off many times when I am shooting so instead of putting it on the way it is suppose to be I just place it on my shoulder (left shoulder that is, it will not stay on the right shoulder) and this position is a little uncomfortable. So really there is only one comfortable way to carry this bag and that is across your torso (the right way to carry it) if you are this type of photographer that needs to take off the bag continuously for shooting (that is to go on the ground or through a small place) I would recommend to get another bag that has two straps and can be easily placed on any shoulder, stay there, and be comfortable. Another thing that can be improved is the side access to the camera, in order to use this great feature you need to have a specific lens mounted on the camera, if you have a mid range lens the camera might not fit in this compartment limiting you on the easy fast access to the camera while walking or hiking. There are other compartments where you can place the camera with a bigger lens mounted but you will not have the easy access that the bag offers. However, I think this is a minor thing and it will not be of much concern (at least for the kind of shooting I do). However, this bag is one of the few that you can carry your camera and a high power (very long and big) lens. You can take all the things from the inside and it will carry this big lens with your camera. I just think this is a great plus for this bag (considering it is a medium size bag). Finally another great thing about this bag is that the zippers are covered with rubber making it water resistant. So if suddenly starts raining you will have time to pull out the raincoat and cover your bag (this is supplied when you buy the bag). The bag can get a little wet and the things inside will not get wet thanks to this rubber on the zippers. Overall, I think this is a great bag for an amateur photographer (like me). It will hold numerous lenses and accessories with ease and the best thing is that you can customize it depending on your photography needs

Recently I ordered first the Tenba Shootout (medium) and later the Kata 3in1-20 sling bags. A friend had recently picked up the LowePro AWS sling, which I also tried out; I liked the lowepro, but the top compartment was too small.

First some thoughts overall, both Tenba and Kata are really solid, well put-together bags. Some notes on each follow...

TENBA Shootout

very solid, pretty stylish, but rather bulky

very stiff/rigid; for me, this was not a good thing as I wanted a less bulky bag

roomy top compartment

zippers were quite stiff; taking the camera out was slow, required both hands and quite a bit of force on the zippers

wide strap was very comfortable around the shoulders (though I didn't wear it for more than an hour on my short trek); secondary strap secured the bag against the body quite well

very easy to "swing about" to access the camera

interior access was fantastic, as the entire back unzips

interior dividers OK, but not as good as the KATA's

side strap for tripod and back bungee for misc stuff handy (though securing a tripod on the side strap seemed kinda iffy, as it would tend to slide down & out)

KATA 3in1-20

very stylish bag, not much smaller but much less "bulky" than the Tenba

roomy top compartment

one-handed "unclip & zip-back" to reveal the camera was fantastic, very easy to use!

interior access was just OK, as only half the bag unzips (not a huge issue, imo)

nice interior dividers, and the neon yellow makes it very hard to lose something!

the top side pockets were very useful; lacking on the Tenba

harder than the Tenba to "swing about" to access the camera

the main issue w/the Kata was the sling strap; it is much less wide then the Tenba, and so in sling mode wasn't nearly as comfortable; in fact, during a short trek and w/the bag only moderately loaded (D90, + three lenses), I found myself adjusting the bag quite often to relieve slight discomfort on my shoulder. (didn't use the bag in backpack mode, though presumably this would be more comfy)

FWIW, the gear I stowed in the bags was a D90 with 18-200, 35-70/2.8 and 85/1.4 lenses, along with some camera miscellany (SD, batteries, cleaner, etc).

The Tenba bag went back; the Kata 3in1 bag (as I've already taken it on one trip) I'm going to try to sell locally.

Billingham 335 Camera Bag (Black w/ Tan Trim) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Where do I start? I am admittedly biased when it comes to Billingham... I've owned a smaller Billy bag for several years and have always loved the quality, durability and practical usefulness. The quality of construction and materials on this handmade product is second-to-none, which I appreciate as a certified "Leica Man" (my apologies to Ken Rockwell.) On a serious note, I recently used this bag during a vacation to haul around two Leica rangefinder bodies and 3-4 M lenses, or alternately a Nikon D600 with a 14-24 behemoth and a 105mm micro (er, macro) and 50mm prime lens...this particular bag easily housed these two configurations, with added room for an iPad and a few other small items... In conclusion, you can certainly pay less for a good bag; Billingham pricing reflects their peerless level of quality and durability, as well as an admitted premium for a prestigious name and look. Although you'll pay more for Billingham, you'll get a quality product that will last a lifetime with proper care (and will actually look better with wear and age, in my humble opinion.)

It says up to 8 lenses and camera, but that mileage my vary depending on the size of your camera and your lenses. I would say even with a pro dslr and a couple larger telezooms you could still get your camera and 5 6 lenses in the main compartment without a problem.

Above the main compartment on the opposite side of the bag are 2 mesh pockets for keeping cords, accessories, whatever. The mesh is a bit on the loose side (although not terribly so), so I wouldnt put anything you're TERRIBLY worried about possibly slipping out in there. On the front outside of the bag there is a rather large zip compartment to put other accesories as well that does its job. I really wish there was at least one more small compartment. Somewhere I can put my Memory cards and extra batteries that was small, secure, and not by everything else... and would be my only real gripe with this bag.

One lovely thing about this though are the straps on either side (so you can choose which side you'd like to put it on) for your tripod. I have a 6" tripod and it fits no problem, you just loosen the straps, set it in there, and then tighten it up and it holds it just fine. Now I have a rather lightweight tripod, so if you're carrying a heavy duty one im not sure how "off balance" having it on one side of you might make you feel, but I can only attest for what I have, and it works great.

The bag is made of a (what feels like, at least) sturdy material, and the weatherproofing looks nice (although if "shiny" materials arent your thing, which they arent really mine, it might take a little getting used to. Also, in the picture the bag looks black with grey accenting. The one I received is black with hunter green accenting. Im not sure if they all come this way or if its a random gamble or what. I dont mind the color so im not going to complain though.

Overall, great bag that could use a little improving here and there, but for its price you cant beat the value.

This is a great pack for the price, its pretty heavy duty and doesnt feel like its going to break at any time soon. There are a lot of different ways that you can make this pack to hold all of your gear. This is currently what I have in it:

-1 nikon d3100 camera body

-1 nikon d90 camera body

-1 18-55mm lens

-1 55-200mm lens

-1 18-200mm lens

-1 50mm lens

-1 external flash

-1 diffuser

-4 lens hoods

-1 battery grip

-1 battery charger

Filters and batteries

Everything fits in there great. The only thing I have a problem with is that the mesh pockets on the inside of the bag are a little lose so I dont really feel safe putting anything important in there. Currently its my business cards and a snack. The front pocket is pretty big it holds all my AA batteries and much more if needed.

I liked the bag's size, but when I put in on my back it was too puffy. I wanted a backpack small enough for my accessories, but not as big as a book bag. This bag had a lot of room for accessories but was to bulky for my taste.

I've only had this backpack a couple of months and the side at the bottom of the strap has completely torn out. I'm very lucky my lens didn't fall out the hole before I noticed.

Canon WPDC40 Waterproof Case for the S60 & S70 Digital Camera Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The price for this thing is pretty steep but it's made in Japan and it's well constructed. The first thing to note is that it was a little bigger than I expected which made the camera and case combo a bit bulky. It would probably be inconvenient for most land activities. It is very important to read the instruction manual for this product! The most disconcerting thing is that if it leaks and your camera gets destroyed, Canon won't pay for your camera repairs even though they designed it. Also, if you don't apply the grease that comes with the case I suspect it might leak.

We bought this primary for snorkeling in Maui with my Canon S70. If you follow the directions it actually works great. The case lens does fog up, but it takes much longer to fog up than the snorkeling masks did. So by the time it got a little foggy we just brought it to the boat and opened it up for a few minutes and then it was good to go again. As a side note, if you plan to use this for snorkeling, try to get some weights for your body so that you're not so buoyant. Every time I would try to swim underwater to get a shot of some fish I would not have time to focus and get a good shot because I would immediately start floating back up when I started working the camera. It was very frustrating.

Overall we were happy with the camera case. It did not leak at all during our trip and we got a lot of great underwater pictures.

I have been using one of these cases for a couple of years and probably 400 dives, many to the 130 foot recreational dive limit. If you follow the instructions and keep the O-ring clean and greased with silicon grease you should have no problems.

At first was quite worried about the fact that even though this is a Canon Product, they don't warranty or guarantee that it will work. However, if you follow the instructions properly, you will have a flawless photo session. Used it while snorkeling with sharks and rays. Perfect Pictures and Movies (with sound) under water. The Only CONS are as follows: There is no way to turn on or turn off the camera once inside the housing. You must open the case, open or close the cover and then reinsert in the case and close. This leads to the seconds issue. Camera gets very very hot when inside the case for a substantial time length. 1.5 hrs or more. Becuase, of this extreme heat, it causes fogging on the lens, or condensation in the case. However, All in All, this product was unbelievable. Took outstanding images, and is a genuine Canon product, so you know it is a great product.

This thing is awesome!!!! You can access every function of the camera through the waterproof housing. I use it with my Canon Powershot S70 and it works flawlessly. I bought it for my honeymoon in Hawaii. Did some diving and snorkeling and always had it with me. I've had it as deep as 100 feet in Lake Huron and have never had a problem with it. I love it!

The waterproof case worked. I was lucky to find one for my old camera especially in such good condition. Hopefully, I can buy new seals.

I purchase this Neoprene case about a month ago for the Nikon Coolpix S8000 point and shoot camera. I thought it looked better and easier to hold then the hard shell and leather cases. Found this case to be the exact size of the camera so you will have to stretch the case a bit to fit the camera in. The side pocket can hold an extra memory card but a extra battery maybe a bit much. I would recommend if you have arthritis or finger dexterity issues to get the next larger size case called "Neoprene Sleeve (Super Black) Case for Nikon Coolpix S8000 14 MP Digital Camera Red" by Kroo it has two stylish zeros on front of the case. Also I give the Vendor "PC Micro Store" five stars for their quick delivery and customer service it was excellent.

These replaced very old rings in glass jars I've had about 25 years. They look new again and work great. There is a reason glass storage jars are a classic.
