Case Logic DCB-304 Compact System/Hybrid Camera Case (Black)

I LOVE THIS CASE! I've been wanting a smaller case that just fits my DSLR and my standard 18-55mm lens. This case was perfect! I took it with me for 4 weeks of international travel, followed by a week long backpacking trip through the Grand Canyon. Not only did it protect my camera, but the quality of the case is so great that it still looks brand new even after all of the abuse it suffered through my traveling. It was the perfect size and fit my camera snugly, but I was able to tuck the strap inside the top as well as some other small items (credit card, money, etc) in the top pocket inside of the case to protect them from theft. The side pockets are also a great size and were able to fit various other small items like my chapstick, extra battery, and SD card wallet. The strap was long enough that I could use it cross-body, or shorten it to just wear over my shoulder. I could also fit in inside of my small drawstring backpack when I didn't want to openly carry it. The zippers have nice rubber pulls on them, and the case is well padded on the inside. I don't think it would fit anything larger than the 18-55 mm lens very well, as it was a very snug fit for my Canon Rebel T3 with that lens attached. However, it was exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Case Logic hit a home run on this one - just buy this item even it you do not own a camera. If you are a woman use it for a purse if you are a guy put a small gun in it. Ok here are the dimensions since the description of this item is to screwball to include that. Outside is 7 inches by 7 inches by 7 inches but because of the two outter pockets and overall sleekness and aerial dynamic desighn of this item it does not look like a 7 x 7 x 7 box. The material is a rich deep black material having sleek racing type red accents and stitching. The shown zipper pulls are rubberized and the handle is densly padded. The case logic logo is rubberized and seems very durable. The material seems quite dense and this item is surely water repellant. The top of the bag and front area where the red stripe exists is a more coarse weave and adds to the over ambiance of the bag. Because of this and its overall appearance you will probably get robbed and this bag taken from you even if you are in a church setting. I buy things primarily for functionability; however, I lucked up and have acquired this most elegant item. The inside dimensions are 7 x 7 x 8 - it kind of like is higher on one end on the top the pic shows how the bag has a slight slope to it. The inside is a welcomed light grey so one can easily see stuff inside with a solid red orange accent inside the part that zips open - this is the flap so to speak that zips open or in other words zips closed - the inside of this is the red orange color that matches the strip and zipper pulls on the outside. The inside also has a strong fixed sleeve or divider that is against the back of the case. It is attached via elastic so it can accomodate various sizes of items that you want divided from the rest of the things you put into the case. The divider is an inch away from the inside of the back of the case. The top flap that zips closed has, on the inside, a welcomed zippered pocket which is 2 inches high by 4 inches long that tapers to about 3 inches. Perfect for a memory card and or extra battery. Notice the curved outside pocket there is one on each side and they measure 3 x 3.5 inches. The case is somewhat padded overall especially in the back part of the case. The back of the case even has a belt loop which is a generous 3 inches !!! and is not to tightly sewn to the item so that one can easily slip a belt through this loop. The loop is like 2 inches wide and is accented with the red orange stitching. The only cheesy things are the plastic loops on each side on the outside that the shoulder strap affixes too; however, the strap and these loops are not cheap in that they are of standard fare and typical of most itmes nowadays that have this feature. The strap is 20 inches in lenght meaning when the strap is lenghened to its max the end of the strap is 20 inches away - when I put this over my head it hangs down to waste level.

This bag had quite an adventure getting to me, it all started months ago. I first saw it as part of an advertizement here on Amazon when clicked on would take you to a page a Christmas specials and when I first laid eyes on it I thought, "oooo cute must be mine!" After much searching after clicking on the advertizement itself, I came up empty handed. Not wanting to give up I emailed Amazon to see if they would come up with the name of the company that makes the bag. Long story short, they couldn't and told me that it was a product they didn't sell which was weird because they're Amazon. I took a break then on day saw a smaller bag with the yellow square on it (link to said bag show in link click on link to see; http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-CPL-104-Camera-Holster/dp/B009PKNMGA/) and thought I've seen that yellow square before. I soon found out that my beloved cute little bag was by Case Logic and once and easily locating it on Amazon, ordered it. Now I know it can take some time for some items to get to me I will wait as long as it takes but this time it's was taking longer than advertized. I waited a few more days before contacting the seller and they promptly refunded me my money which was fine but I really wanted the bag. Turns out, it was lost in the mail. Oh and by the by, if you do have items lost in the mail never to come to you all of those items end up in Atlanta, look to Google for more information. Fast forward to a year later and I'm at work looking as the bag I never got on Amazon then saw how cheap it now was a just reordered it right then. It is now Monday, I ordered it on Thursday and it is not in my possession. I love it, it is sooo cute exactly as I had envisioned it. I will never fault the company or anyone else for my items being lost forever, Fate is just funny that way, it was not meant to be mine back then. Now that I have it I am so happy. I give it five stars because it came exactly as advertized, it super cute and will hold my cell phone perfectly. Instead I give out advice: 1. If you have an item lost in the mail look to the Atlanta Lost Mail Auction. If you contact them and describe what you lost I am 100% sure they will have it there. 2. Before putting items in your cart, look from where the item is coming from and how many days it will take to get to you via their estimate. Just because it is the cheapest doesn't mean it will fly to you, it may take a month and you HAVE to be okay with that. 3. Stop writing bad reviews if you don't get your item, it's not the sellers fault if it's lost in the mail, write the review only after you get it. A review is only for the product itself not for everything that happens around it. Does it look as it was advertized, how good of a quality is it etc, etc I hope my review helps a lot of people, this is a great little bag and even if it doesn't, I still love the bag any way. :-)

Case Logic? If you say say so. I have mixed feelings about this case. The construction seems top notch, plenty of padding, tough zippers that work well, overall a good buy. I purchased this for my Lumix FZ35, it's a good fit and it looks like it will keep this pricey little gem fairly safe. It's OK, but I've already got my eye out for a replacement. My review is specific to the camera that I purchased it for, but I think similar problems will exist with other cameras of similar size and shape. The problem with this Case, is the Logic, or lack thereof. Let me break it down for you. The only practical way to place a camera in the case is to place it on it's back with the lens facing up, this is the most efficient and works well. If I put it in some other way I would not be able to put in the lens visor that came with my camera (which I do by removing it and flipping it around backwards over the lens). If your camera is bigger than my FZ35 this is not the case for you. The back of the case has a sturdy belt strap which the designers apparently meant to be used seeing as the lid unzips away from the back of the case. Unzipping the lid reveals a small zipper pouch a bit larger than a credit card, not roomy enough for extra batteries but you could place a lens filter or maybe half a dozen memory cards in here with no problem, this is beneath the lid. There are also 2 exterior pockets, one on each side, it's a great concept but a poor design, this is my problem with the "logic" of this case. Why would a company design pockets into a bag that could not be practically used? The pockets are sewn rounded up from the bottom of the bag, they are rounded. What this means is, if you should bother to put anything in them that would be considered standard fare in a photographic setup (battery charger, 2 extra batteries, usb data cable, extra filter, or the detachable shoulder strap should you use the belt strap feature) the pockets cannot contain the items without pressing them into the interior of the case. What this means is, if you put your camera in the case and fill the exterior pockets, you will have to empty said pockets to remove your camera or if you fill the pockets first you will not be able to place your camera in the case, very frustrating. I've somehow managed to get all the items I mentioned above into this case as well as the AV cable that came with my camera, it works for me since I use this while cross country backpacking and space is at a premium for me. But I find that most of the time, while my gear stays in the case and packed away in my ruck, the camera is bobbing along around my neck or nestled in my fanny pack. I like this case and yet I could have easily given it 3 stars for what I consider a major design flaw. In an attempt to be stylish, the designers have seriously impaired the funtionality of this item. I hope this was helpful. Shalom.

Case Logic DCB-304 Compact System/Hybrid Camera Case (Black) I did a lot of searching to find a case for my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300. I wanted a simple carrying case to provide some basic protection and a shoulder strap to keep it handy. The camera dimensions were a bit larger than the interior dimensions of the case but a few people said this case would do. This Case Logic DCB-304 fit is PERFECT with the camera inserted sideways with the grip up in ready to grab position (not lens down). It is a little snug, with a polarizer filter and the inverted hood and camera strap wrapped around the camera body. The outside zippered pocket neatly holds my spare battery, using the pocket on the far side from the lens. Pocket on the other side is not really usable because the lens is pressing there from the inside. (I did say it was snug). No room for the battery charger, but that stays home near the electric anyway. CONS: The shoulder strap is shorter than I'd like, so I pulled the LowePro strap off my old camera case to use instead. The LowePro strap also had a shoulder pad which is nice, although the camera is not too heavy. The CaseLogic case is also more thinly padded than the LowePro; I'll have to handle it more gently than tossing it into the back seat. No all-weather rain cover. Only a single zipper for the main compartment; may be a good thing, tho. PROS: It FITS the camera nicely! Has two zippered exterior pockets; zipper goes across top and one side for full access, and pockets also have a short mesh pocket inside, to help prevent stuff from falling out. Has a belt loop which I doubt I'd use. Zippered interior pocket for spare SD cards. Pocket in on the top flap of case. Zipper has a nice pocket to slide into to prevent it from scratching the camera. A case is a simple thing but an important part of a camera system. Protecting the camera when not in use and keeping the camera handy so you don't miss opportunities by leaving the camera at home/in the car. I fully agree with this case being a AMAZON CHOICE product.

This is a perfect case for me and my Sony RX10m4, which is the same size as all Sony RX10's I believe. I use it for protection, when the camera is bouncing around inside a rucksack, tent or car. It's not a ready-to-shoot holster. The camera would not fit with the lens hood attached facing outward. But it's still reasonably accessible. Removing the RX10 from this case and reversing the lens hood takes me about five to 10 seconds. That's minutes less than the more expensive and less durable neoprene cases here. It takes about twice that long to wrap the shoulder strap around the lens and stow the camera in the case. I think it provides more protection than a neoprene case and as much protection as you could find in a non-rigid case. Basically, the case fits the RX10 snugly like a glove. So the only additional items it would hold are tiny things like a couple of spare batteries and some memory cards and a small notepad.

When I purchased the Nikon Coolpix L830 Digital Camera Case Camcorder and Digital Camera Case - Carry Handle & Adjustable Shoulder Strap - Black / Grey - Replacement by Synergy ...I found that it was too small to fit my Fotasy NSQF Anti-Slip Sling Neck Strap with Rapid Fasten, Comfort, Ergonomic Design (Black) . So gave the Case Logic a try. I've owned quite a bit Case Logic products since the early 1990s and certainly this met my exception in many respects. Here's what I like. ► Very high manufacturing standards. Perfect seams with no threads hangout out. ► Nice orange color accents. I like that fact that the interior of the case is also orange which improves visibility of your camera (mostly likely black). ► Plentiful zippered compartments for batteries, sd-cards and other accessories. But...while I was able to fit a my Fotasy strap, I found that is still pretty tight and I had to really work it in order to get it fully. While I can tolerate it, I really don't want to through this hassle every time I put my rig away. The other problem is that strap with it's metal parts winds up being shoved into the same compartment as the camera, which can lead possible damage if the case gets dropped or hurled around. So I'm pretty think I need to step up to a large size Case Logic case. This still gets 5 stars though because it's great choice for Nikon L830 owners who opt to just use the standard neck strap.

Picked up this bag for a Sony HX100V camera. This review will be tailored to those with such a camera or one of same size. I wanted a bag that was as small and light as possible for portable and safe transport of the camera itself and a few must have accessories when out and about. For that purpose it is a perfect fit with one caveat. The camera itself fits snugly and there is room in the top overlap panel for 2 batteries and extra memory cards. One could probably get 3 batteries in there perhaps 4 if they were determined. Inside the case if you place the with the Sony HX100v in place there is some spare room for small articles in the front inside sleeve and along side of the camera. On the outside zipper compartments there is sufficient room for the USB cable and minor errata in one zipper compartment and in the other I placed a battery charger I purchased (not the one that ships with the camera) that works with 115VAC. The charger has flip out AC prongs and is somewhat compact. There is also room for the 12VDC cigarrete adapter that will work with that charger as well. There would also be room for filters, if one has modified the camera to accept such. Just enough room for some minor paperwork after that and a cleaning cloth. Bottom line a snug fit but not too snug and a small light case to carry around for when you want a camera in a case. The carry strap has clip hooks that seem solid and can be removed if desired. The strap is plenty adjustable, for a six footer like me I had to lengthen the strap almost all the way to carry comfortable about the near hip area. No fancy wide padded strap but the bag and camera are so light I don't expect that to be much of a issue. If it is, one can buy well padded carry straps. There is a belt loop on the back that is beefy and well stitched and wide enough for 4 adult male fingers to fit. Downside is it is not Velcro (TM) removable so if that is a issue you would look elsewhere OR you could modify this one with some creative work to make it a Velcro adjustable belt loop. If you really have to lug around extra accessories it is a easy matter to get some lens like bags to just hang off (with Velcro TM straps) the above camera bag strap. I did that with the battery charger that shipped with the HX100v. Heck, the bag is small enough if you had to you could get a rather large camera bag, stash this bag and your errata accessories in it. Course that would be nuts. Would the camera survive a drop to concrete inside this bag? Perhaps if only a drop of 3 feet or less but that is just a guess, I surely am not testing that. The bag is somewhat padded but not to a great degree. Best not drop it though. The caveat: THe charger that ships with this camera is a large brick with a bulky cable set and there really isn't room in the case for it, nor if you try to shove it in one of the side zipper pockets. That is a additional reason to get a separate charger for this camera. I suppose one could really try hard to make the charger to fit in the case but that makes it rather difficult to remove the camera quickly and with little fuss. I opted to either leave it at home or if on a long trip will carry it in a separate bag that I attach to this bag's strap. The price I paid here at Amazon was cheaper by a few bucks at least than what Wally World wanted for one. Good deal.
