The Canon Zoom Pack 1000 is very useful and sturdy bag and, although compact, it's big! Any Canon EOS Rebel/xxxD/xxD with a medium-sized zoom lens will fit perfectly. For example, a Rebel XT/350D with a Sigma 18-200mm (OS or non-OS) lens fits perfectly inside it (even with the camera's big strap folded behind the camera and with a polarizer filter + Sigma's big lens hood attached in front of the lens) and there's still some space left inside for some small accessories...

Some cameras with their battery grips attached will eventually fully fit in this bag, but often tightly (stretching it out fully at the upper side). This is the case for the Rebel XTx/XSx/3xxD/4xxD cameras.

It comes with a velcro "divider" to be put besides or over the camera (or behind it, as a matter of fact, on the top portion of the bag, just below its top cover), so you can partition the inner space and create a second compartment to keep a small point-and-shoot camera and/or any small accessories, as a battery charger (plus two or three extra batteries and memory cards). If you put the divider behind the camera (over its back), you can put anything on the upper side of the bag without taking the risk to scratch the camera's LCD screen.

The top cover closes by velcro so it's very easy and fast to open or close it (just pull it up or down, without the need to push buttons, press hooks, untie laces or whatever).

Inside the bag, just below the top cover, there's a very convenient zipper-style, "net-type" compartment (very useful for storing documents, cables, cleaning pens, portable table tripods, memory cards, lens filters without their original cases etc.).

The front accessory compartment is small, but there's enough space for some memory cards, one or two lens caps, and extra battery, any thin cable and maybe more (all these items together), if you arrange everything well. It has a small fixed divider, specially useful for keeping CompactFlash memory cards.

It features a comfortable, ergonomic shoulder/neck strap and a belt that allows us to carry it on our waist. You'll look like as if you're carrying a big gun!

If you don't have too much photographic gear and stuff, this bag may be the only bag you will ever need. In my experience, here's a list of what it can hold altogether:

Any Canon EOS Rebel/xxxD/xxD with a medium-sized zoom lens (e.g., the Sigma 18-200mm OS/non-OS lens, with a polarizer filter and a big hood attached)

A Canon CB-2LT battery charger

A Hoya polarizer filter case

A flexible, mini table tripod

The camera's USB cable

The camera's video cable

The front lens cap (when it is off the camera)

The rear lens cap

The camera's cover body cap

An RC-1 wireless remote controller (attached to the camera's neck strap)

A small, manual air blower with medium-sized rubber bulb (like the Giottos AA1900 Large Rocket Blaster or Canon EF Lense Blower or Visible Dust Hurricane Blower)

Of course it would be more comfortable if I'd put all this stuff in a bigger, horizontal-style gear backpack, but the Canon Zoom Pack 1000 gives me the convenience of wearing it around my neck and leave it hanging just in front of me (as I would do with the camera alone) or around my waist (holster style). You can even use both the belt and the neck strap in order to hang it in front of you in a stabilized way.

And, last but not least, it is beautiful, stylish and have a nice silver "Canon" logo in front of it. Recommended!

I have a Canon EOS 50D with the 28-135mm zoom lens. While I do have a large camera bag that holds it, additional lenses, and other accessories nicely, I always wanted a "go" case that would add some simple cover, drizzle protection, and scratch-n-bump protection to my camera when I was walking around with it, but not using it.

This holster serves that need perfectly and the camera/lens (with lens hood mounted backwards for storage) just fits. With the camera neck strap attached to the camera, and an accessory eye cup attached, it's an even tighter fit, but still does the job. Would another inch or so of depth be better? Yes, absolutely. But anything significantly larger and your camera would bounce around too much inside.

The case comes with one velcro pad that can be installed with infinite variance to cushion shorter lens combo's. I stuffed this pad in to the nose of the holster to add additional padding to the nose of the lens.

I've read reviews that state the EOS 50D will fit in this case with the battery grip, but I think that would be an extremely tight fit, and probably not practical.

The case comes with a belt strap (which I will use a lot to keep my hands free, and to keep the camera from beating me to death while walking/hiking). This belt strap can be tucked inside a compartment on the back of the holster and hidden, if you don't want to use it. It also comes with a detachable neck strap with a padded shoulder feature. I probably won't use this much as shoulder straps tend to slide off my shoulders unexpectedly, and this holster won't afford a lot of protection if it hits the ground with its heavy contents. One other NICE feature a small sewn-in hand strap on the top of the holster, so you can carry it this way, or hold the holster securely while you're fumbling to fasten the belt strap on. You can also slide this holster over a regular trouser belt as well.

Worn with the belt strap, the holster top can be left unzippered, with the cover held down by a simple velcro strip. This makes it quick-ready for a "draw" from the holster (hand slides right in to the wrist strap), for very quick photography, without having it beating against your chest on a neck strap as you walk.

The holster cover (top) is nicely zippered, with a pull down rain/moisture flap, and velcro fastener. There is a small zippered storage compartment inside the top cover 8"x4", and another on the outside front of the holster 5"x4"x1", suitable for CF cards, extra batteries, small cables, etc.

With this holster, I will now be able to remove the neckstrap from the camera and use only a hand strap, which will be wonderful (I hate neck straps, but won't touch the camera without a strap of some kind in place for protection).

Fast shipping, good packaging, nice looking (it's a Canon case and matches the camera well), and does its job well. Great transaction!!!

This bag is much bigger than I expected but just isn't quite roomy enough to comfortably hold a 35mm Canon EOS Rebel Ti with a battery grip, hand strap and small lens attached. It just doesn't seem to be designed with the optional standard Canon battery grips and hand straps in mind. The bag is attractive, however, and appears sturdy and well-padded but its bulk (some of which is from the rear pouch storing the belt strap when not in use) can also make it a bit awkward. Its not a bad camera bag for the price but you may want to consider something else if you plan on using a battery grip.

Post Script This bag turns out to be a pretty good fit for the Canon Rebel XT with the caveat that you'll only be able to fit the one zoom lens and no other lenses or a flash unit. Even with the XT's smaller size, however, the bag is still a too tight of a fit for an XT with a battery grip attached.

Honest reviews on Canon Zoom Pack 1000 for Elan and Rebel Series Cameras -Holster

Fits my Canon EOS T1i with an attached Tamron 18-270 lens and strap. Zips closed with hood on in reverse mode or just velcros closed with hood on in shooting mode (eyepeice about 1" above zipper). This is with padded divider velcroed in place at the very bottom of case to provide extra cushion for lens in the event of a drop. Placing the divider there should address any padding issues and make this one of the best padded cases where it counts. Also holds extra batteries in side pocket and cards in top pocket. Belt, contrary to what I've read, slips back into pocket in about 10 seconds (unclasped). Little room for much else, but that's ok. My only concern is that I'd like some verification that it is manufactured under humane working conditions -but I've seen no such verification for any competing products either.

I purchased this item (Canon Zoom Pack 1000 Holster) about six years ago for my old Canon Elan 7e film camera. It provided a perfect fit for this full-size camera, with the EF 28-135mm USM IS lens and its lens hood mounted. After I switched over to the Canon digital Rebel XT, the new camera body is a lot smaller, and so is the equivalent EF-S lens. What I found is that with the extra space available, I can actually fit my external flash unit inside the holster. It is a rather tight fit, but the good thing is they won't knock against each others inside.

Here is what I can store inside this holster: Canon Rebel XT, EF-S 17-85mm USM IS lens (with EW-73B lens hood fitted in reverse), Canon 420EX Speedlite, LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer, polarizer filter, video cable, spare battery pack, CF cards, plus a few more small items. When necessary, I can also use it to carry my Rebel XT with the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip mounted. But of course, the flash unit won't fit in this case.

The exterior of this holster pack is made of ballistic nylon, which is far more durable than the faux-leather used in cheap imitations (such as the Opteka DSLR Holster Case). I've been carrying this holster to and back from work almost daily, plus several oversea trips during the past 5-6 years. It is still in excellent condition. To me, the quality of its construction fully justifies its higher price.

[Update on Oct 20, 2013]

I purchased my second Canon holster case. After 11 years of faithful service, my old holster is getting an 'honorable discharge'. Its waist belt started to tear alone the sew line, and I don't want my camera to fall off the cliff during my next hiking trip. By the way, this holster out-lasted three camera bodies (Elan, Rebel XT, and T1i), so I certainly got my money's worth.

The new Canon holster case is made in China while the old one is made in Korea. However, they are exactly the same in terms of material used, construction quality, and dimensions.

This is a definite get for anyone who has a smaller camcorder! The outside is a harder (but still pliable) rubber, and the inside cushioning is fairly thick. So far, it seems fairly durable and not likely to break under a small or moderate amount of use. I got this for my boyfriend as well as a new F80 Samsung camcorder for Christmas (since we're expecting a little one 3 days after) and his loves them both. The Camcorder fits snugly inside the case and it has extra pockets for the attachments and cords! The only thing I can think of that would not fit would be the tripod, but with how compact the camcorder is, he said he probably wouldn't need the tripod anyways.

The dense rubber in this case provides excellent protection for memory cards. And it provides something else-a little size and color so your cards don't get lost so easily.

I found that the rubber padding carves easily with an X-acto knife, so I repurposed one for carrying an odd sized card.

The little chain is sturdy, and the plastic snap stays secure too. Good product.

I just received it today and it looks good, very small, which is what I wanted. It fits my T2i with the kit lens only. I have a 55-250mm lens as well and I wanted to see if maybe it would fit in the bag while on the camera. Nope. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but just know that if you had the same question, there's your answer. It really doesn't look like a camera bag, more like a purse. My co-worker said it looked like a little lunch box. It's built ok, perhaps not as sturdy as my other bags, but I suppose that's due to it's size. Obviously it isn't built to go on wild adventures. But it seems like it'll be great for walking around the town taking photos. The side pocket is perfect for my wallet (I carry a very, very, small wallet), passport, lens cloth, and my extra memory cards. I haven't used it yet, but once I do at the end of this month, I'll update my review as to how useful it was while out of town.

My only complaint is that it smells weird. I don't know if it's the material of the bag itself or the material of the bag it came inside of, but either way I'll let it air out before I use it. It's pretty strong when I open the bag..that's the reason for the 4 stars, but I don't know if it's just my bag or maybe because of the shipper. If the smell doesn't go away before I have to leave, I will definitely return it and use one that I already have. I have a very sensitive sense of smell.

Well I really researched camera bags, and I narrowed down to the rounded Built neoprene one and this one and ordered both to choose. Each had its pros and cons, but this one won out, and now after using it a while, I'm SO happy I picked it. The size is one issue it's really small smaller than I even expected when I ordered it couldn't be smaller and fit a DSLR camera I think, and that is a huge plus for me since I have to carry it all over for work. I actually wish it was maybe one inch wider on the accessories side so my wallet could fit in. I wear it cross body and it's very light and comfortable even though I cut off the padded part on the strap because I really didn't care for it though I find the rest of the bag pretty decent aesthetically. The little handle on top is very nice and I find myself grabbing it more often than you'd think. The camera rests in the camera side very nicely and fits in fine even with the strap on. I can carry my USB cord and a few tiny accessories in the other half, but that's really it. It does have pretty nice pockets on that side that hold the accessories tight and provide easy access. I also really like the hardware connecting the strap to the case well made and attractive it rotates and swivels so the strap never tangles. The whole thing feels secure. The only quality the rounded Built bag had over this one aside from more room inside I think is the more ergonomic shape so when you wear it strapped cross-body, the rounded bag fits right into your waist and more flat against your body. It's also kind of cute in a new design way. But the inside design in my opinion was a mess. So I chose this one and the boxiness isn't really so bad because it's very small overall.

Ok, I used this bag for quite a while now, so with that said I the first positive about this small bag is that it's very durable and it looks just like it did the first day that I used it. I purchased this bag when I first bought my Canon T3i which I used with its starting kit. With just the Camera its self and the basic 18-55 mm lens that are the stock lens for most DSLR cameras then this is a great case that is a must have to protect and carry all the necessary accessories for it. On the camera pocket there is enough room for your DSLR and its 18-55 mm lens. Note that the lens must be attached onto the camera in order to fit in the bag. If you are trying to fit it in the pocket separated than it is not going to fit, they must be attached. In the accessories pocket I managed to keep 4 extra batteries, an SD card, the charger and the charging cord. Both pockets are very well made and it really takes advantage of all the space the bag is using up. With all this said, if you have more accessories than this, they won't fit into this bag. An example would be if you had a telephoto lens such as a 70-300 mm lens it will definitely NOT fit into this bag. It is simply to small for that and it wasn't intended to carry it. It was made to carry your basic short distance lens such as the stock lens or a 50mm lens. It also won't fit most speedlites. They are just to bulky and too big to fit in this bag. This isn't a bad thing, but it's just good to know what fits in this bag and what doesn't. I am surprised as far as how much this bag can actually hold though, it is very small and portable, yet it holds enough for the average photographer. Now as far as appearances most people will say that it looks like a small lunchbox. Well this isn't necessarily a bad thing. You don't want people knowing that you have an expensive DSLR in the bag now do you? That will only attract attention and make it easier for you to get robbed. So that is the good thing about this bag, it's discreet. With that said I really don't have any negatives about this bag. It's perfect and is great for your necessary supplies. If you have more accessories and you are planning to carry them all around then I would recommend buying a bigger bag. I rate this product 5 stars out of 5 stars.

I hope this review helped you out!

This is perfect for my Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Sensor DIGIC 4 Image Processor Full-HD Movie Mode Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-inch LCD and and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens. The camera with the 18-55mm lens attached slips right in as pictured, and it's easy to pull out and snap a few shots on the fly. The back pocket easily fits the lens caps, spare battery, and SD cards. Seems like it might be a tight fit with the battery charger, but I haven't tried.

I was slightly concerned about the smell reported by other reviewers, but figured I'd give it a shot. I don't have a very sensitive sense of smell, so discerning noses may still want to proceed with caution. But I did take a good sniff when it arrived and couldn't pick anything up, and I've never noticed anything since.

Best of all, it's a simple and low profile little bag, rather than a bulky piece of cargo that screams "Hey robbers, I'm carrying an expensive camera! If you get a minute, you should totally come and assault me!"

I bought this for my Nikon D90 with the Nikon 18-200 and 70-300 lenses. Although the description of the case states that it will fit a lens up to 7 inches, the case will not close with the 70-300 zoom. (This lens measures about 6 inches in its fully retracted position.) It does close with the 18-200. The "snout" of the case is rather narrow and will not fit over the Nikon-supplied hood (carried in the reversed position) for either lens. Because the 18-200 and, to a lesser extent, the 70-300 are prone to flare in some conditions, this is a serious issue.

The case appears to be a clever idea that should offer meaningful protection for a small sized DSLR with a short zoom. However, it is a poor choice for a D90 with two of Nikon's most popular lenses. Ratings reflect the case with the Nikon D90 and the 18-200 and 70-300 VR zooms.

I just purchased this cover based on my previous ownership of a smaller Zing SLR cover. I had an older standard sized cover that worked great for my first generation Digital Rebel with Tamron 28-300mm zoom. I used the old cover when hiking and backpacking with my camera and really appreciated the quick release strap that went around your back to keep the camera from swinging. The cover protected the camera well against light rain, sweat and shock. I never had a problem with it. I have since upgraded to the Canon 40D and it took quite a bit of tugging and stretching to fit it in the standard cover. I just got the new Tamron 18-270mm stabilized lens and there was no way this new combo was fitting in the standard pouch.

Enter the Large Zoom SLR cover. I am able to fit the 40D with a quick release tripod mounting plate and the 18-270mm lens with the lens hood attached into this cover. It is a bit tight, I think because the quick release plate extends the height of the body, but it fits. This lens has a 72mm filter size, but the body is even wider than that due to the stabilization mechanisms, and the lens hood is wider too, but they still fit in the zoom tunnel OK. This cover has velcro tabs on the portion that closes around the lens whereas the older, smaller model had to be pulled around the end of the lens. There is a little bit of room at the end of the lens pouch with this lens/body combo, but not much. The only real problem I have with the cover is Zing changed from the around-the-back quick release strap to a little difficult to attach and detach strap that hooks to your camera's neck strap. This does nothing to prevent swinging and swaying if you are wearing this while hiking. I plan to modify mine to add this functionality.

Pros:

Fits my 40D with Tamron 18-270mm lens + hood

Good Weather / Shock Resistance

Excellent Longevity and Quality (based on previous Zing experience)

Cons:

No around-the-back strap to prevent swinging when wearing it around your neck

Camera cases offer better protection, but they're too inconvenient for walking around. These neoprene shells are a nice compromise.

FYI, this is a good size for the Canon XSi (I originally bought the 510-102, but it was too small). The lens portion of the cover is long enough for Canon's 55-250IS lens.

Also, although Amazon's stock photo looks purple, it's actually a much nicer dark blue color.

Bought this for a week-long vacation to Ireland, where we didn't want to lug around the camera bag we already had. Worked great, really nice to have the camera protected whether it was thrown in a backpack or slung around the neck/shoulder. The only problem I had was the fit of it. The Canon XSi with the kit 18-55mm lens fit, but there was a bit of room at the end of the 'tube' of the lens cover. With the kit 55-250 it fit perfect. At the end of the trip, we were actually a little mad that we had purchased a separate camera bag (which we left at home) because this worked so well.

I was looking for a neoprene cover to put over the camera so that I can safely carry it in my regular day pack while out and about. I didn't want to be limited to physically short lenses, I am thrilled to find that the Zing Large Zoom cover works with the T3i/70-300mm combination. It is comfortably snug with the lens alone and tighter with the hood on backwards. I don't plan to carry it with the hood on backwards, but I tried it to see if it would work. The cover also works great with the T3i and the 18-135mm kit lens, with or without the hood on backwards. There is a little bit of empty space in front of the 18-135mm lens with no hood, but it's not enough to pucker up or look funny. I would use a cover with a shorter snout with lenses pysically shorter than the 18-135mm. The cover seems well made, with smooth seams and a stong velco closure on the flaps that go under the lens. So far I am very pleased. If I have any problems, I will update this review.

Bought this because I didn't want to carry my full-size camera bag on a recent trip to Hawaii. The Tamrac Velocity 7X sling pack worked beautifully. I have Nikon D90 and I brought along a 55-200mm kit lens and a 35mm prime lens, as well as charger/spare battery/cable, two filters, and a lens hood. Everything fit easily, and I could have brought more stuff if I wanted to, although another lens would have been challenging.

Pros: portable, reasonably comfortable, and easy to access your camera without taking it off. It was soooo much more comfortable than my full photo backpack, and the fact that I didn't have to take it off to get my camera was a huge plus. It also fit into my regular non-photo backpack nicely, though tightly, for airplane carry-on, with some room in my backpack for other stuff. Interior has three configurable regions (with moveable vinyl & velcro rectangles); it's awkward to reconfigure but versatile. You could in theory take all the rectangles out and just have a big open space, if you wanted. I stored my spare lens in one section, camera with lens in the middle overlapping the third region where I hid my charger/spare battery/power cable. It also has a small zippered region in the top flap which I stored filters in. The front pocket had limited space (I put my memory card, small lens hood, and sometimes my cell phone there). Once I got the strap the right length, it was very easy to swing it from back to front (to access camera) and then to back again. It also has a hidden waist strap to keep it from bouncing as you walk, though I didn't really need that much.

Cons: As other reviewers have noted, it doesn't balance well on its own on the ground, making loading it up slightly more awkward than necessary. I generally loaded and unloaded it while wearing it. Some females may find the chest strap uncomfortable because of where it rests (my wife didn't like it). The top zipper can be a little tough to open and close; this was mainly just an annoyance. I found it was not super water-proof (fine for light drizzles; not so great for downpours). Size limitations (obviously); though that's sort of the point If you want more space, use a bigger pack :) Very large diameter or very long lenses may not fit well; the ones I took were 52mm; I have a wide-angle lens that I didn't bring but tested out in the pack. It was a much tighter fit.

In summary, this pack won't carry all your gear, but it will carry some of your gear very well and very comfortably. Recommended.

I am new to dSLRs and bought this for my first camera, a Nikon D5100. I have the kit lens (18-55mm) and one additional lens (55-300mm). Both lenses fit in this bag plus the camera with a whole extra space on one side. I dont have a whole lot of other gear. The zippers and snaps are a little difficult to open, but I think I will adjust to them. I like how lightweight this bag feels with all my gear in it and I feel like everything is protected fairly well. I would reccommend this product to others.

I really like that the camera and my biggest lens are in shooting position when I pull it out of the bag!

I read about a lot of bags before I chose this one. I took the dimensions of my camera and took into consdieration the bulkiness of other bags. I also wanted something that could be completely zipped shut so I wouldn't have to worry about gear falling out the top/sides when I set this bag down. I think this bag wears really well so I won't have sore shoulders on longer outings. I also love that it doesn't scream expensive camera bag.

I use a full frame camera, namely the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, and before buying this bag I tried to read in Tamrac website to see if it supports full frame cameras or not but I didn't find anything about this point. When the bag reached me I discovered that it was not designed for full frame cameras. The only way I was able to use it was by removing all the separators inside it, but this resulted in 2 problems: (1) the camera with a lens attached to it (EF 28-70mm f/2.8) used almost all the bag space which means no more space to put anything else in the bag like another lens or a flash, (2) the camera stuck a little inside that made it not easy to remove from the bag which was a little against the idea of velocity that the bag was designed for.

To be fair with the quality, the bag takes 5 stars in quality as all Tamrac bags are very well made (I own other Tamrac bags as well). But since I wanted it for my full frame camera I rated it 3 stars. They should have mentioned that boldly so one knows before buying it.

To accommodate my self, since on hiking I usually keep my camera on my neck I am planning to use the bag for lenses and filters which in that case makes it easy for me to change the lenses or filters in a velocity way especially if I am alone. In other words I am not very sad that I bought it but I would have been much happier if it was designed for full frame as well.

Finally, for sure I will buy more Tamrac bags in the future because they are really well made and heavy duty.

Been very happy with this purchase. I was looking for a smaller bag to carry my camera plus 2 lenses

And not lug my backpack all the time

This fit the bill perfectly

Happy with the make and quality thus far

This is what I was looking for: a bag that can carry my essentials when I'm out and about. It's durable, protective, comfortable to carry when I'm on a long walking excursion, and the sling design and top opening provides easy in-and-out access to my camera (a Nikon D7000 with a big 18-300 zoom lens). It's also easy to sling the pack towards my back when I'm wearing the camera outside of the case, so it doesn't interfere with walking around or taking pictures. I can carry the camera with lens and filters attached, a smaller point and shoot digital camera, chargers for both, cleaning accessories, and a spare battery. If I don't take the smaller camera, I can take the flash unit for the Nikon instead. No room for extra lenses or other gadgets, so this probably isn't the case for storing all your gear, but as a carry around it does the job well. As I recall, it comes in several sizes; this was the one I needed because of the big lens. Other sizes might be more suitable for other needs, so I would recommend actually trying several sizes with the equipment you want to carry before deciding which one to buy.

I was looking for a compact case for the Canon S90. I was hoping for a belt loop (with "quick release" -so that I wouldn't have to take off my belt to remove the case), a snug (but not overly restrictive) fit, waterproofedness, and a small overall size. I had considered several options, including Kata, Lowepro, Mountainsmith, and Case Logic cases, but ultimately found this one to be the smallest one that still fit my requirements (at the time -note that my purchase was in 2009). I posted a review of this case on POTN, but I'm not sure if I can post a link here. Comment below if you want more details, or Google "tenba mixx s90 tigerotor77w."

Pros:

+ Compact size overall. It'll fit comfortably in a jacket pocket.

+ Keeps the S90 secure. With a velcro flap and an elastic "lip" around the top, the S90 falling out isn't very likely.

+ Construction is excellent. No frayed threads, secure velcro, solid-sounding clasps for the belt-loop.

+ Room for an extra battery or memory card.

+ Integrates well with my Tenba Messenger via the belt loop.

+ Matches all my requirements (see second sentence of review)

Cons:

A little bit squarer than it is rectangular, so there is some extra room in the sleeve holding the S90. The case is thus also slightly larger than it "needs" to be for this camera.

The elastic isn't "tight," but it does constrict the opening of the case enough that you won't be able to "quick draw" the S90. A snug fit has its disadvantages, too.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the case. I admit that I tend to use an Oakley microfiber bag instead of this one most of the time (for jeans pocket carry), but any time I plan to go on an extended outing (hiking, say, or if I want to leave the camera in a work bag for just-in-case shots), I've been using this one. Definitely a solid choice!

The pouch works very well with me Sony Cyber-shot and makes it much easier to keep a spare battery right at hand.

I was shocked when th Camera pouch arrived. I guess I should have paid more attention to the size!! Product Dimensions: 1.2 x 4.2 x 3.2 inches. It's barely big enough to get my car key and car door lock remote in. I have never seen a camera small enough to fit into this case, although I'm sure they must make one out there that would!

It looks to be of reasonable quality of a nylon type fabric with velcro closure.

I love this case because:

1 It is well made. Not cheap leather.

2 You can take photos without having to pull it out of a case. Quick and fast

3 Still slim enough to put in your pants pocket and of course a purse or jacket

4 Reminds me of the old style SLR cases.

I highly recommend this case and have received comments from others that they like it and wish there was one for their model.

The case was built for the camera and make the camera only a bit larger but protects it. I was still able to slide it into a pocket without it being scratched up. The case can get in the way until you get used to it, I re-snapped the cover under the camera when in use.

This is a great camera case and fits the DSC-WX300 perfectly! The quality is great and the case is so convenient and compact that it hardly adds any bulk to the camera! I would recommend it!

the reason I bought this item is to remove the top front part and let the bottom half with the neck strap hang around my neck since the camera is so small so I won't loose it and the cameras' always ready for shooting.

I bought this for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3, and the fit is perfect. I also tried it on the Sanyo VPC-CG10 HD, and it is a great fit too. It has a pocket for batteries and the like. I bought it from Amazon who uses Adorama Camera for this purchase. I can't mention the price as they will cut it out, but it was way less than twenty. The shipping was free too. It comes with a neck strap. A great buy. Go get one.

This case is quality workmanship. It works wonderful with my Sanyo Xacti. The case is not too big but has enough room for extra batteries.

This case does NOT fit the Lumix ZS3. It is huge! The interior dimensions are actually 5x10x13cm. It also has barely any padding so it doesn't offer much protection against accidental dropping etc. I guess the pocket on the front is handy not that I'm going to keep my camera in there. Beware when buying Tamrac products that the sizing may be way off. I'm returning this as soon as customer service will answer my call.......
