I have a closet full of camera cases and bags, but all of them are either too small or larger than I needed for my Panasonic DMC-FZ35 Super-Zoom. After checking out all the available cases at my local chain electronics store, the Case Logic DCB-304 is about as close to perfect as I could find. The camera fits well, with room to spare. It has storage for extra batteries, memory cards, or any small accessories. It’s lightweight, well padded, and offers moderate protection. A nice case for ‘Super-Zooms’, that is priced right.

Based on Amazon reviews I purchased this case along with a Panasonic DMC-FZ35 camera. It works perfectly for me, not too small, and not too large. The camera will fit in sideways, or with the lens side down, or with the body (LCD) side down. Placing the camera with the body side down gives some extra space for storage on either side of the lens although I wouldn’t recommend this because then you would have to remove the stored items before you could get the camera out of the case.

If you carry a lens hood it will fit just fine by simply placing it over the lens in an upside down position. I have stored a lens cleaning cloth and several SD memory cards in the small zippered receptical inside the case on the underside of the top flap. On the two side zippered areas on the outside of the case I have stored the battery charger in one and an extra battery in the other.

There is a narrow padded divider very close to the front wall on the inside of the case next to the main storage area for the camera. It would hold a small note pad or maybe a small camera instruction manual. You could also dump in a supply of memory cards but you would probably have to turn the case upside down and shake them out.

If you are looking to carry various cords, usb cables and so forth then you may want to go to a slightly larger case. If you carry only the camera without extra batteries or the charger you could get by with a slightly smaller case but it would be a snug fit. If you fly a lot or take cruises I would recommend this case because a larger one will take extra space when packing a suitcase.

All in all I am very pleased with this purchase. The only downside I can think of is the fact that the case, although padded, is still not heavily padded and you would not want to drop it with the camera inside.

I’ve been on the hunt for a small camera bag that will hold just my Nikon DSLR. I was unsure if it would fit in this bag just based on the photo, but it does! I have a backpack camera bag that holds all my lenses, batteries, chargers etc with some room to spare. But sometimes I just want something for a hike or outing that will protect my camera without adding more bulk for me to carry.

It’s not the smoothest fit, and probably another inch would make it perfect. But, for what I need this fits the bill. I use the 18-55mm lens most, and that is what I’m going by as for fitting or not fitting. If I decide to use larger lens, that will not go into this bag. The little side pockets will fit a spare battery and SD cards, as well as my wireless remote. My full size charger will not be squashing it’s way in, but that’s not a problem for me.

I’d wanted something with a belt loop as well as a shoulder strap, and this as both. I like the pop of orange-red color on the inside. This will also be a great bag if I decide just to carry along a point and shoot and my flip cam with accessories. All in all, just what I was looking for!

I’ve been using this case for 2 weeks. It’s compact and light and hold everything well. There is plenty of room for the camera and the lens hood.

It is a very well made bag with good quality and it is roomy for a mid size digital camera like mine. I can put my camera, the len shade, the battery charger, and all the cables came with the camera. I still have room to put a spare battery in. There are four small pockets where you can put your filters in within the pockets. The price is not expensive if the NYC sales tax and shipping and handling charges are ezcluded. I am happy with that.

you can always tell the quality of USB cables by looking at the thickness of the cable. thicker usb cables have higher quality *’-

Thanks, i totally agree with this…
