Camera-Bag Reviews

The top has both a zipper and a velcro, and can be a little awkward to use and/or come loose. Other than that, a great lightweight bag with lots of room. VERY good for midsize digital cameras.

For less than [price], this case is well worth the money. The bag is small enough that you won't inconvenient for carrying a case, but big enough to hold your compact camera and even spare batteries for your power hungry digit camera. The bag feel tough enough that you will be glad that your camera is in the bag when it falls to the ground. It happened to me a few times when I place it on the table and accidentally knock it off the table and my camera still work as usual.

So far, everyone who's seen me carrying this bag around has raved over it. The FujiFilm S5000 that just came out fits into this bag fairly snugly (with the inside divider removed), and I put it in this bag sideways, so the camera's grip is accessible from the top of the bag. There is plenty of room for AA batteries (2 extra sets of 4), XD Picture Cards (just about as many as you'd want to carry around), and other small items. I'd like to see additional side pouches added, a place for my checkbook and credit cards, and someplace to put my sunglasses case... if it had all that, I'd throw away my purse.

This bag is compact, very light, and cheap. It can hold your compact or mid-size camcorder, it's charger, and a few extra tapes. It's a nice bag to have if you just bring your camcorder on family vacations. It is also very durable. If you have a larger camcorder or use your camcorder frequently I suggest a larger more expensive bag.

The case is sturdily built with two zippered closures and an adjustable shoulder strap. The exterior bottom panel is a nobby ruggedized material that probably is waterproof. The remainder of the case exterior is pebble grained leather-looking material.

The main compartment for the camera is easily accessed via the zippered front flap and is padded on left, right, back, and bottom. Top and front padding is thinner. The inside of the main comaprtment flap has a zippered pocket suitable for holding a memory card. Inside dimensions (inches): 6H x 3.25W x 2.5D The main compartment zippered opening is 3 inches wide.

The smaller zippered compartment is on the back of the case. It contains loops for 4 AA batteries, a zippered pocket suitable for a memory card or slim remote control, and a second unzippered pocket that is a little smaller than business card size.

I got this case to house an Olympus D-40 zoom digital camera. The main compartment is far too big for this camera. By itself, the camera would rattle around inside the case. I've filled the extra space by putting a carry case for 4 AA batteries into the bottom of the main compartment and adding a pair of light socks to fill in the remaining space. This leaves the smaller compartment free for the remote control and a small notebook.

I'm keeping the case. It provides more than adequate protection for the camera (with socks installed!) and will work fine for day trips and similar short outings.

A couple of weeks ago I picked up the Olympus D-490 and this was the case I bought for it. I must say that this is definitely a great product. It is extremely well built for it's price and hosts some good solid features. There are 2 compartments of storage: the main pouch and the front zippered accessory area. In the front zippered area there are 3 compartments: the battery elastic band which holds 4 AA batteries and 2 zippered mesh pockets. These pockets are large enough to carry memory cards and accessories for the D-490.

The whole case is sturdy and built rugged with it's soft pading for the camera and durable bottom. I definitely recommend this bag for anyone who has a digital camera with the approximate dimensions of the D-490. You will enjoy this case as it is inexpensive, functional, sturdy, well designed and looks good.

This is a nice digital camera bag, very sturdy and well padded. The interior has a soft plush lining to prevent LCD screen damage. It is a perfect size for a "point & shoot" type digital camera, such as the Olympus D360L. The front of the case zips open on both sides to reveal a flap with mesh pockets suitable for a spare set of NiMH batteries, cables or extra memory cards. It also features a sewn on belt loop and removable shoulder strap. Well made & compact.

I like the horizontally oriented case. It has two compartments, one for the camera, and one for extra battery and/or memory. THE CLIP IS CHEAPLY MADE, plastic which doesn't accept handsome torque without showing stress cracks and breaking, and WORSE, the black plastic clip is held in place by a small pitiful metal pin. WORST OF ALL is that the clip handle jabs a large man in the belly from the belt...not ergonomically designed. I have a much cheaper case which is better designed and more functional, and won't break if I accidently press the case agains a chair arm, or bump it hard getting in the car. I would not have bought it if I had held it in my hands before purchase. I recommend you shop around for something that doesn't have a cheap plastic clip which is held in place by a cheap ugly piece of wire.

I find the camera fits perfectly in the case and there is decent cushioning to protect the camera. The draw back with this case is the front pocket which is to hold extra battery/memory card is way too big and doesn't hold the extra battery in place. Every time I open the case to remove the camera the battery falls out. If I had known this prior to purchasing the case I would have gotten a different one.

I find that the camera fits perfectly in the case. The case is compact and has decent cushion for protection. They only bad thing is the front pocket which is for extra battery/memory card is too big. The extra battery I put in mine is always falling out when I open the case to take out the camera. If I had known this before I purchased it I would not have bought it.

I wonder if this product is worth the money,firstly the case is too small.You cannot even keep an accessory battery along,which you badly need for this camera.I thought the finish would be great that's the reason for buying this one instead of Sony General Carrying Case, but I was wrong.Given a choice,I would probably buy a better carry case.

There is just enough room for the camera and that's it!,the camera strap hardly fits and there is no room to fit an extra battery. Needs external pockets!

two side pockets for batteries (and you need it for the V1). pocket inside for memory stick. tough material. it is a bit snug when carrying a battery though. but otherwise looks great. best case out there for the V1.

I recently bought this accessory for my S400. I didn't buy it from Amazon, but I should have since it's cheaper here. I was so excited to test it to make sure it doesn't leak before I put my expensive camera in it. I read the manual and filled the WP-dc800 with toilet paper for a test. I then stuck the camera housing into a sink full of water and let it soak for a while. I pressed all the well-built little buttons and levers underwater to make sure that every seal was water tight. When I took the item out and inspected it, everything checked out ok and the toilet paper was dry as a bone, just like I want my camera when I take this thing snorkeling later this summer. They ask a little much for this accessory and they don't offer any type of warranty with it at all. They warn you enough times in the manual not to let even a strand of hair interrupt the waterproof seal or it may leak on your camera, but they never tell you what to do if this item is faulty and floods your precious camera inside. I doubt Ill have any issues with it and it stood up to my tests at home. The WP-DC800 appears to be a solid product. I like how the buttons perfectly align to the buttons on the S400. Every feature is accessible while the housing is on your camera except, of course, removing the battery or CF card. The lens is double plated, anti-condensation glass. It attracts fingerprints like a magnet though. IT also comes with some sealant goop, a wrist strap and a cool Canon neck strap that shows the world how eccentric you are with your digital camera housing.
What I don't like about the WP-DC800 is the large part on the front that makes the item more huge than it has to be. This is for the added diffuser plate feature for your flash. It makes the WP-DC800 seems a little bulky
What I dont like about the WP-DC800 is the large part on the front that makes the item more huge than it has to be. This is for the added diffuser plate feature for your flash. It makes the WP-DC800 seems a little bulky. The realease to open the unit is a little hard to open. There is a push button that you hold while pulling on the top. I always fear that I might break the thing, but at least there is no worry that it will open underwater.

I was a little scared to try this out after reading some of the horror stories posted around the 'net about it leaking. . . .

Well, just to be on the safe side, we got some insurance for our new S500, then stuck it in this housing and took it on multiple dives over a week.

I'm happy to report that it worked flawlessly!!!

Now I just need to save up for an underwater strobe. . . . .

I am an experienced scuba diver with some experience in underwater photography. I bought this housing on a lark, because I had the camera and wanted something small to take along when I wasn't diving for photography but wanted to take some snaps.

*WITH THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS AND CHECKS* I found this case worked and was easy to use. I definitely recommend it.

The warning is:
* TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS
* MAKE THE PROPER PRE-DIVE CHECKS
* YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN
* GET FLOODING INSURANCE OR DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES

I was advised from the beginning to take a course on underwater camera maintenance and use, and to get flooding insurance. I still accept that despite my best efforts, I'll get flooding. The insurance will protect me. You *cannot* assume that a manufacturer will warranty an underwater housing against leakage. It's not possible. Even a tiny bit of sand on an O-ring can cause a leak, and at 60 feet the leak will let in water at twice atmospheric pressure.

Fancy underwater housings for $1000+ cameras are *not* warranted against flooding. Don't expect that a $170 housing will be. Don't blame manufacturers for your complete lack of knowledge and experience in a very specialized photographic discipline that most divers take years to learn.

Get flooding insurance. Learn how to protect your camera. Test the housing. Ask other divers.

The only possible limitation is that the rated depth is only 100 feet. But considering this housing is only $170, and an Ikelite pro-level housing is $500+, this little gem is a great deal.

I found that the Lowepro D-Res 4 case is the best bet for my Dimage Xt. The Minolta Dimage X/Xi/Xt cameras are small and not meant to be banged around in between uses. The Lowepro D-Res 4 case is zippered, padded, and has a belt loop for dust protection, security, and easy travelling. It also has three interior pockets to carry two extra batteries and extra memory cards as needed. The Dimage X series cameras deserve a small, tough case that does not compromise their sleek design. The Lowepro D-Res 4 case is the perfect design and will NOT disappoint you!

if you're thinking about buying this for a Dimage X20, which I didn't think was too different from the other Dimage Xseries cameras, DON'T!!! it's a tight fit and the you can only fit one other AA battery in with the case. there is no way you can have 2 extra batteries and a spare card along with the camera and still get the case to close! other than that, it's great just for batteries and spare cards.

It's not exactly a perfect fit. The lid on the case uses velcro to secure the content. But the fit between the lid and the case is awkward. The case is well padded which is good for the camera's protection. On the other hand this is not a case which will slip into any pocket unlike the camera itself. It's a great item if plan on carrying on your belt.
