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.

Because of the high quality material and workmanship and design, I brought 2 brown and a black case of these cases sold by Mega West. Since I already wrote a review for the brown case, here I would like to offer additional experience using the cases.

I also have a Sony HX30V. Its dimensions are very close to the RX100. However, the lower half of this case is perfectly fitted for the RX100 and will not fit the HX30V. If anyone is thinking about using the case for another similarly sized Sony camera, I would say our best hope is that Mega West would offer this type of cases for other cameras soon.

Unlike couple of reviewers' experiences that their cameras were not "balanced", my experience is the opposite. Indeed, unlike the Sony version which the strap attachment rings on the case are attached to the case vertically, the Mega West case has its attached at a slight tilt to the vertical, thus effectively tilting the case and thus the camera top towards the body. It is an indication that the design was given lots of thought.

CORRECTION: Upon further inspection, one of my 3 cases did not have the attachments as tilted as the other two, and I found that the attachments could be rotated to whatever angle you want! They are pretty tight once you leave them at an angle. How nice is that?

I tried to attach something to the right side of the camera to improve its grip using glue and Velcro, but they were messy and started to affect the paint and finish of the camera. With the bottom half of the case attached to the camera, the grip is improved. To further provide a bigger handle but not to touch the camera anymore after my failed attempts in attaching things directly to the camera, I attached a strip of Velcro to the lower left corner of the case (It is another reviewer's idea to use Velcro). Now the camera still could fit into the case nicely and the grip is so much more secure.

Addionally, the opening on the side of the case allows the camera to be charged via the USB cable with the case closed, just in case I accidentally pull on the cable and knock the camera to the floor.

Lastly, I found that attaching the wrist strap to the attachment point on the camera which is located right next to the USB port door prevented the door from opening, and I almost broke this door hinge trying to open it over the strap loops. Since the case has a nice ring attached with a tilt off the center of the camera, I am able to relocate the wrist strap to the case's ring and away from the USB door. Couple design issues with the camera are thus resoluted by using this nicely designed case.

This is a sweet little case for the Sony RX100, it looks exactly as it does in the product photographs, a nice "retro" look for this very small camera. The case wraps around the sides of the camera and the back and lens cover snaps off for taking photographs, or this piece can be easily removed. As other reviewers have said, it attaches to the tripod hole for security and has a threaded piece to attach a tripod with the case body in place. It certainly looks better than I expected for the small price, and it makes the Sony case price look a bit foolish. If the case gets in your way you could attach the neckstrap provided with the case directly to the crazy, hard to attach, neckstrap adaptors provided by Sony for the camera. Bright light, really good eyesight and manual dexterity required to put those little suckers in the tiny, tiny loops on the sides of the camera!

Best Deals for MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Black Leather Camera Case , Bag

I bought this for my recently bought RX100 camera. This is my first case that is designed to be used while still attached to the camera.

Looks:

Looks like the Sony case, without the badging. Case looks good.

Materials:

Outside material is good. Seems to be rugged

Inside material is smooth and looks to be good for the prevention of scratches.

Metal fasteners are rather tight on my case. Seem well secured to the fake (?) leather case

Straps appear to be strong

Weight:

Adds some heft to the camera, but not too bad.

Fit:

Note, this case is not specifically tailored for the RX-100. As is described in the advertising. I understand that the Sony case is a better fit and does not cover the USB port.

There is about an inch clearance from the the top of the case and the top of the camera. Not too annoying actually, and may even be beneficial for impacts from the top.

All the ports, etc are covered. The most annoying is the blockage of the micro USB port. This means you constantly have to remove the entire case, not just the top flap, to download your pictures/movies

Overall:

I would have given this case five stars if it did not cover the micro usb port. I understand the need to block the speakers, battery, etc...but it seems like the USB port need to be. It is however just covered, so I have cut the case to make space for the usb male plug to fit. Because I had to perform some repairs on my own, and made the case look rather weird as a result, I provided 3 stars.

Thanks.

Honest reviews on MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Black Leather Camera Case , Bag

Upon sticker shock at the $85 Sony Sophisticated Leather-Like Jacket Case LCJRXA/B, I fortunately found this one for $14.99. Looks, feels and smells like real leather. Fits like a glove. Seems identical to Sony's in every way except it lacks the logo. Sure am glad I didn't get the overpriced Sony version.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is WAY better than the official Sony case. Very sturdy leather. It's quick to unsnap and take a picture. The cover does "hang" off the camera when unsnapped, and is sort of awkward, but I don't see how they could have avoided this.

All in all, a definite need for this camera. I've already dropped it twice, and this case saved me.

First the negative things about this bag. The bag is not as pictured. It is not a long slim bag which I thought was to be an innovative design. This is a simple camera bag design you could buy for $30.00 or more.

CAMERA & ONE LENS DESIGN:

The inside of the bag is 8.5 inches wide. A bit shy in width, but doable for my Pentax Kx to rest vertically. and my Tamron 18-200mm lens to fit tightly next to each other. There are two side pockets to hold accessories.

The pocket on the right (as you look at the bag) I use to hold two additional battery sets and is zippered. The "pocket" on the left side is made like a lens pouch, but too small to carry a lens. I use this pouch for the rear cap of the Pentax lens and the empty case for the 4 batteries in the camera. The front pouch is zippered and I use it for the instruction book and some miscellaneous papers I keep with me. The inside front of this pouch has two mesh type compartments which I use; one for for my DigitalGrayKard (used for spot on white balance and also a Gray card) and the other side of this mesh compartment is used for extra memory cards.

Over all I like the bag's compactness, as a retired pro-photographer, small is better for me.

My K-x fits pretty well, and one telephoto lens or two small lenses fits as well. The inserts are adjustable so camera fits tight enough not to move while carrying. Bag is small and light enough to carry out almost everywhere.

Regarding that side pocket that doesn't quite hold a lens:

"It also has a zipper pocket on the side and front and a neoprene water bottle-style pocket on the other side."

It's a water bottle holder, not a lens pouch. Just thought you might want to know. :)

My Canon SD4000 camera fits nicely inside this neoprene case. Just as an educated guess, the neoprene seems to be an appropriate thickness, balancing the attributes of compactness (by not being overly thick or bulky) and security (by providing adequate protection against most impacts). It is indeed a vivid red and will make your little camera obvious whether you want that or not. A nonadjustable wrist strap is included, but no belt strap. The neoprene is water resistant but not waterproof, and the zippers would surely leak promptly. All in all, while it's in this case your camera will be protected but not invulnerable.

I purchased this to hold my new CoolPix S3300 camera. Having seen it's remarkable price, I should have known . . . but . . . it was the closet item offered to what I was looking for (small, bright color, sturdy), despite the price. When it arrived I eagerly opened it only to realize that it was about 1/4-1/2 inch too small all the way around. I could barely push the zipper closed over the top, and it strained all the seams to do so. It's just simply too small for a CoolPix S3300. Cute, well made little case, but it definitely doesn't fit this camera.

I bought this bag over 2 years ago, I know im naughty I should have done this sooner!

I love this bag! It is perfect for jobs that do not require a lot of gear. The speed pocket on the side is perfect for run and gun style photography (also used it a lot when traveling) and the lap top pouch fits my mac book snugly.

What I normally fit in:

1x Macbook

1x canon 7D with 250mm

1x 17-50

1x canon 400D

2x speed lights

1x HDD

1x macro tube

+ a whole host of cables and paraphernalia

Fits it all easily and is all very easy to get to. One of my best ever purchases!

I really bought this for the half case, with the thought that I'd use the top half to protect the camera in a bag/suitcase during travel. As a half case, it's awesome. Some thoughts:

The leather and craftsmanship is much nicer than I expected. In the pictures, the leather looks sort of flat like vinyl, but it's actually pretty nice, thick leather with very even stitching and a good liner. Not much of a distinct grain, but for a mass-produced case, that's not surprising.

Some reviews say that there is no access to the battery/SD card, however mine has a snugly closing snap-flap that opens on the bottom to permit access, so I'm guessing they received an older model? The box mine came in says "X100 or X100s", I'd be curious if theirs just said "X100"?

Fit is wonderful. Very snug and secure....just as one would hope from the OEM.

I haven't used the included neck strap yet because I think the one that came with the camera is just fine, but hey...it's included if you want it (although no new snap-rings or protectors...just the strap, so you'll have to use the old ones that came with the camera).

It is true, that with an adapter ring and a filter, the top is a snug fit. I have the JJC adapter ring and a thin UV filter mounted, and the top flap closes just barely (forget about a lens cap). It would be a better fit without the filter (there'd be just enough room for the adapter ring). So if you absolutely need a full enclosure case, AND an adapter ring, AND a filter, AND a lens cap, look elsewhere. But, if you are really looking for a nice half case with the option of the top half to occasionally stow the camera in a bag, I think this will work just fine.

True, it has no tripod mount, but frankly, if you do a lot of work with a tripod (macro, landscape, etc), then chances are that you bought a different camera. For me, the case allows the camera to sit flatly and very stably on a surface for the occasional group picture, and that's good enough for me.

One oddity. On most "ever-ready cases" that I've had on vintage cameras, the top flips/folds over the front of the camera and hangs down while taking a picture. On this camera, the top half flips/folds over the back of the camera (towards the photographer)...which means it's a little more in the way when taking a picture. Again...for anyone who needs to always use the top half, this may be a problem, but for someone looking for a half case with the option for occasional greater protection, it's fine.

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

Note that the upper section will NOT be able to fit over the camera if you have the LX-X100 lens hood and adapter ring installed on your X100/X100S.

Perfect fit for my x100s. Leather has very nice color and finish and appears that it will be very durable. Will most likely use as a half-case as I keep filter and lens hood on the camera.

Honest reviews on Fujifilm X100s Leather Case for Camera (Brown)

Will only work if you add NO protective filter (even an extremely low-profile one) to your X100s. The fit and workmanship are very good, but I just don't like the idea of an unprotected lens.

Pros:

High quality and good fit.

Protects whole body (especially rear screen) when in bag.

Handy flap on bottom that allows fast access to battery and SD card.

Cons:

Lacks character. Leather and stitching is dyed a very generic shade of dark brown.

Won't fit on camera with the Fuji adapter ring.

A bit expensive (although a better fit than the cheaper leather cases out there)

I purchased this for use on an upcoming trip. Needed something that was airline carry-on safe, but would still hold the equipment I needed to bring. The description said I could put a DSLR with or without battery grip and a 70-200 attached. Not going to happen. There is not nearly enough height (depth) to the bag to hold a camera with battery grip.... then trying to insert a laptop with the camera way too tight; I was fearful for the laptop with the pressure on it.

Other than that, when I put a non-grip DSLR in, all I could use was the 24-70; a 70-200 still wouldn't fit. It could be stored in the compartment on the side, but that doesn't have any adjustable dividers to hold it in place. There is not attachment area.... I guess some duck tape would do the trick.

Well, it is being returned .... had to fork out an extra $100 to get one that really would do what it said.

Still, a nice bag overall.

A great gear backpack that packs in my Nikon D60 with 55-200mm lens and battery grip attached, Nikon SB-600 Flash, Nikkor Lens 18-55mm and 50mm, Giottos Air Blaster, other accessories like filters, batteries, charger, Maglite, grey card, SD cards, BlackRapid Strap Sport, cables and Acer Aspire One netbook with more room to spare. Also attached outside the bag is my Manfrotto MK394-PQ tripod. It's made out of durable ballistic nylon material. Comfortable straps.

But why only four stars? It's because, unlike other camera bags, some dividers are fixed. So you can't re-calibrate dividers freely according to your needs. The bag has no quick access for your camera, you have to open the entire backside to access your camera unless you put your camera with lens in the top compartment with easy access which is a tight squeeze.

Nevertheless, this bag is worth recommending to a friend looking for a durable camera bag!

The case is a great size for our Nikon P510. It fits the camera, a couple of straps, and all of the accessories no problem all without being too big and bulky. Our only complaint is that the strap is too short to be worn comfortably across your body. That was easily fixed by replacing the strap with a longer length of 1" nylon webbing we bought at the craft store.

Sunpak 620-765 Unpadded Carrying Case for 3300 Pro Tripod Review

Sunpak 620-765 Unpadded Carrying Case for 3300 Pro Tripod
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

The product description clearly states that the case if specifically designed for the Sunpak 3300 Pro Tripod. Sorry, but I don't believe it. The tripod just doesn't fit, no matter how I've tried to cram it in.

I unsecrewed one of the handles from the panhead (there are two) and squeezed the tripod into the bag. The unit is just too long. It almost wants to close, but it needs about another 1/2 inch of bag to close.

This was a gift, so I'll probably just keep it and try to make it work.

Disappointed to say the least. I had hoped to not have to unassemble the tripod for carrying... makes it more of a hassle for field trips.

Other than that, the case seems really nice and I would probably rate it at 5 stars. If your tripod is less than 10" in diameter at the feet, it should work well.

If anyone has a suggestion on what I'm doing wrong, I'd sure like to hear!

I got this bag for my Sunpak tripod and it does not fit. It's WAY too short. The description says it's for tripods less than 24" and the bag length is 24.2". My tripod is 23.5" and it's a really tight fit.

The good:

Lightweight bag (since it's unpadded).

Handle looks comfortable but since my tripod didn't really fit, I didn't get to try it out in the field.

The bad:

Bad fit. The description is waaaaay off. The case would be better for tripods under 22", not under 24". You need some wiggle room to make it easier to get the tripod in and out of the bag.

Cheap construction. The bag I received didn't even have the threads cut off. It's that lack of attention to detail that makes you wonder what else they skimped on. :-/

This bag was cheap (I got what I paid for) and it wasn't even worth it to return it since I would have to pay for shipping and everything. I'll probably give it to a friend or something.
