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

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.

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.

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!

I originally bought this from a seller called GizGalaxy. I waited for like two weeks and after a few emails with no return emails from them during the final days of the delivery estimated because my item wasn't shipped yet they finally emailed back just to be told that they canceled my order because it was out of stock. GizGalaxy is a horrible seller with horrible customer service. I can't leave them seller feed back because they canceled my order so I can't find the option to give them feed back. Anyway, luckily this was in stock from Amazon and it was cheaper. So I jumped on it and I was surprised how fast they got it to me since I don't even have prime. I'm really happy with this bag. I originally put my DMC-FZ1000 face down with the camera straps on top but trying to take it out was kinda of a hassle because it's really tight inside. So I placed it side ways with the grip facing upwards. This was better because I could grab it from the grip and pull it out from the top of this small bag. The lens hood is attached and facing the camera and it fits in this position. I could put two back up batteries with extra space to put another battery or something as small on one side zipper pouch and a smaller car battery charger with car adapter wire on the other side. I tried to put the original Lumix charger but it was really pushing it to the max that the zipper started looking like it was going to break. I could put a few SD cards AND maybe USB wires in the zipper slot inside the main compartment. You could probably place them at the place where a charger should go but I probably won't put anything there since there's no zippers so it could fall off, so I guess I'll just use that as extra protection for the camera. I like the bag straps, they're adjustable and it swivels for more mobility. The bag seems to be made with quality but I wish it was at least water resistance. Maybe I could spray it to be water resistance. I could probably use the back "handle" and put a very portable small tripod or monopod but I think I could somehow use straps to put it on one of my backpack with molle straps. I wanted to put my action camera inside but there no room for anything else. But overall that's what it's made for, it's just for my bridge camera and a few accessories. Great small, tight, get priced bag for my camera. Edit: after seeing other smaller but more spacious bags, I may end up getting that instead. I recently bought an external flash so I want something as small but could fit my stuff. I saw this bag and other branded bags at a retail store and I realized there are better options. But till then this bag is still really nice. I mean this is my first time searching or a bag like this and now I know there are better options.

I was hoping for an easy to carry bag for making my camera easier to carry without feeling like I'm not carrying an extra child with me. My camera dimensions are rounded up to 4'5"Lx4.5"Dx3.5"H. What I found was this bag fits the bill. The camera will fit just about any way in there but I prefer having the lens face backward (towards my buttocks ) when the bag is on my side with the power button/zoom, etc buttons facing up for a quicker grab and shoot as well as protect the lens and cap from bumps. If something hits the LCD hard enough to crack it the battery charger will have also been destroyed. Again, spot on and putting the camera sideways like that seems to be the best method so I can cram more goodies in the side pockets without it pressing back on the camera. In the side compartments I have on one side an extra set of 4AA batteries and the wall charger. On the other side I can still fit either my Sony point and shoot along with its proprietary batteries or my wifes Nikon point and shoot and extra AAs for it or other stuff about the same size. With both sides filled I still have room for the camera to go in or out easily with the neck strap still attached to it and out of the way. I've got a hand/wrist grip gizmo coming soon and it looks like it'll take about as much room as the cameras shoulder strap so it should readily fit behind the camera without any fuss or muss. So what does it feel like when attached to a belt on your side? It feels like you're carrying a half gallon of milk in a small bag attached to your belt. If this will be a problem there's the included shoulder strap to hang it accordingly or the very nice carry handle, making the case look like you're carrying a ruggedized murse (purse for the ladies) or very small lunch cooler, again feeling like you're carrying a half gallon of milk. The carry handle is very nice for short trips, sporting events, childrens recitals, etc where grab and go is a must but you're going to be crowded around you. The coloring when closed is a flat black with red accents for a very unobtrusive look but the inside is a candy apple red, which one may or may not prefer. One of the things I've always appreciated about Case Logic products besides their quality design, construction and functionality is their laid back choice for exterior coloring. When I'm out in the woods I don't want a turkey spotting me at 100 yards and when I'm in the city I don't want a would be robber spotting me far away either by my bling. If you want scratch protection, convenience for carrying your stuff with multiple ways to do so at an excellent value this is an excellent example of what to look for. The padding is about as thick as a collapsible lunch/drink cooler so don't look for this product to be something where you can get the dropsies without concern for damage to your device.

The more familiar I become with Case Logic products the more I like them and this Case is no exception. The description says it is small but with space for those items we probably need most of the time but not enough room to include all the other products we have available to assist our picture taking. For the Nikon COOPPIX L820 that I bought this for it is perfect. The Case Logic holds the camera, 3 separate SD Cards, 2 different cables (which will not be included in the bag when not at home), instructions (which, too, will not be included in the bag after familiarity is sufficient and that will not be far off), 8 AA batteries for most applications and room for lens cleaning rags. The Case Logic is well protected and logically designed for most small camera uses. So, I put it on my belt and the connector is on the back of the case but in a place that makes sense. When you unzip the top to get to the camera it opens to the front so that should there be any weather or wind the risk of damages is reduced. The 4 zippers are made of quality materials so that they should not snag or rust. Even the 2 swivel-hooks and snaps are strong, lightweight metal and not some cheap plastic. (Let me provide a users tip: Instead of attempting to squeeze the swivel-hook's flap and run the risk of pinching a finger or worse, insert the hook about half-way into the cresent holder and turn the hook i/4 of a turn and it will open itself so snapping it in place is simple. I stumbled onto that simple fix.) Add the 1" wide by 50+" long strap and an almost undetected top handle and you have one of the finer Camera Case's available. Even the red appliques add distinction. I had originally planned to order a red L820; however, when it came time to click on the red the old brain cells did not function so I could not have a matching camera and bag. I know, who cares? It's a fantastic bag and I am pleased with it in case you could not tell.

I wanted the minimum case to safely hold my FZ200 and "necessities". Like you, I read the reviews. As you have seen from the various reviews this case ranges from "perfect for the camera" to "this case is too small for the camera". I took a chance. I am glad I did. The case is perfect for the FZ200. Rather than stopping here, I will tell you exactly how and what can be fit into the case. 1) take the hood off the camera, reverse it, and put it back over the lens. 2) Open the main compartment of the case. Holding the camera in your right hand, place it other end down with top of the camera toward the padded divider and the back toward the side. The strap gently gets balled up on top of the lens. 3) Behind the padded divider and to the lens end of the case, you can put a spare battery (or two if you have them). You can also fit other thin accessories, pad of paper, pen, credit card, id, money, etc) 4) In the side pocket toward the back of the camera you can fit the battery charger. 5) In the other side pocket, you can fit some creative filers and a lens cloth. 6) In the top zippered compartment you can fit a spare SD card and a usb memory card reader I am not sure about you, but that is pretty much all that I would generally want/need with me on most outings or trips. You can obviously perform a number of alternate uses of the various storage areas but I just fully described what I did for demonstration purposes. If I need a tripod, that would certainly not fit in any case I would consider. Thus, I purchased a tripod with its own case. In that case, I store my remote shutter release with the tripod. I would not likely use a shutter release without a tripod so this makes sense to me. The only other accessories I would likely consider are an external flash and microphone. For me, they would be used in special cases. To handle them, I would use a fanny pack. I would see this as an exception to general usage. Thus the complete package would be in three small containers. I will always grab the camera case and grab one or both of the others as the situation warrants. Bottom line -- The case definitely works for the FZ200 (and probably any of the other popular small bridge cameras with a large zoom lens. It meets my needs: The smallest case to hold my FZ200 and commonly needed items.

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. :-)
