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 samesize.I wanted a bag that was as small and light as possible for portable and safe transport of the camera itselfand 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 compartmentand 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 errataaccessories 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 justa 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.

I purchased this case at the same time I ordered my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 camera.This case is well-made, and very close on the dimensions. Initially, it was a pretty tight fit, and with the lens hood mounted I had to stretch it a bit to pull the zipper closed. Now that I've had my Case Logic DCB-304 for a bit longer, I've had some time with the camera in it. Lo and behold, the initial tightness loosened, and now I have a very well-fitting case for my Lumix DMC-FZ200! Seems it really just needed a little time to "wear-in". What I did was to store the camera in the bag with the hood mounted for the past couple of weeks, and now it fits perfectly without having to stretch to pull the zipper closed. What I really like is that it's convenient, small (doesn't take more space than needed), and it makes a light-weight combination that's easy to pack and easy to carry. (It's also a nice bonus that the camera takes great photos!)As others have stated, this bag doesn't have much extra space. However, the high-zoom cameras for which this is made are all pretty well self-contained, and don't need a lot of extra stuff to be hauled along. A lot of extra space simply isn't needed. The side pockets are snug, but I have enough room to carry a cleaning cloth and the charger, and there's enough space for extra SD cards if you need a back-up. I can also fit in a small table-top tripod inside in the case in the sleeve that separates it from the rest of the camera, which prevents scratches. If you need to carry more than this, you should probably look for a larger bag.Another thing I like about this camera bag is that by it's being a little generic, it's not screaming to everyone just what camera is hidden inside. I'd feel awkward carrying a bag with "Lumix" or "Panasonic" emblazoned across all sides. That just strikes me as attention-seeking behavior; I prefer to be more modest and unobtrusive.I give this bag 5 stars, and I'm really glad I have it!

I recently purchased a Fujifilm Instax Mini EVO camera. This Case Logic DCB-304 bag is a perfect fit for the camera and extra packs of instant film plus other accessories. I insert the camera into the bag with its long dimension vertically aligned. There is plenty of clearance on the sides and the top. I also purchased a lens cap and a 28 mm viewfinder for the camera, and the bag easily accommodates the dimensions of these accessories. There is plenty of padding to protect the camera. There is even a cover over one of the interior zippers to protect the camera from getting scratched. You can wear the bag on your belt, hold it in your hand using the strap on top, or use an included shoulder strap. There is a nice padded partition on the inside and two additional zippered compartments on the outside for smaller accessories as well as a zippered compartment on the inside of the top flap. In sum, this is a very well designed camera bag with quality construction and in my view is a good value for the price.
