Digital camera reviews of Lowepro Rezo 30 (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good fit for Lumix ZS3 and Canon A480
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this case for my mother's Canon A480, fit is good, a little float but not too much.
I have a Lumix ZS3, the ZS3 also fits just fine in this case, not too tight, not too loose. I have the LowePro Ridge 30 case for my ZS3. The Ridge 30 is slightly larger than the Rezo 30. The ZS3 also fits fine in the Ridge 30, a little float but not too much. I think either case is fine for the ZS3. Note that Ridge 30 is too big for Canon A480.
I give the case 4 stars instead of 5 because the zipper is a little sticky near the corners, even when empty. The Ridge seems to have a smoother zipper. Not sure if this a difference between the models or just manufacturing variation?
Digital camera Review: Good for my S90
Summary: 5 Stars
It's of good quality and design. Although you can't carry it in your pocket, it's a roomy camera bag for my S90 and has long strap. And I put a spare battery and a card reader in the front pocket. Very convenient.Digital camera Review: Good quality and a perfect fit for small cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
The construction quality is excellent with good padding and zippers that work very well. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A fits perfectly in this case with storage for an extra battery.Digital camera Review: Good quality, but one disappointing design weakness and company supports partisan political causes.
Summary: 3 Stars
I just recieved this camera bag and it's about what I expected: Nothing fancy, just a well-made nylon & mesh camera bag with a couple of pockets behind a Velcro flap in front. It will suit my needs - 'still waiting on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A camera that's going in it so I can't judge the fit, but that's my fault and I expect no problems.
What is immediately disappointing is the fact that the belt loop in back, though nice and solid in itself - there's apparently a reinforcing piece of flexible plastic built into the nylon for added stiffness and strength - is only sewn at the top. The bottom of the flap is attached with just a Velcro closure with an opposing 1/2" wide nylon flap with a standard metal snap. This product bills itself as something designed to "protect your investment," and the one thing I do not want to worry about is having bag, camera and memory card with pix on it torn off of my belt via a pickpocket or a stray tree branch. It feels solid despite the detachability but... it's not something I want to have to worry about.
The mitigating factor is that for 15 clams you can't complain about the product overall.
Caveat Emptor alert: Another negative is that the included documentation states that "Lowepro Proudly Supports" four partisan, activist political organizations. They may be benign, they may be some of those frothing neo-fascist types who want to drag humanity back to the material and intellectual squalor of the pre-industrial (read: Medieval) age. 'Don't know. But I would never have purchased this product had I known that I was indirectly contributing to causes that may or may not represent the antithesis of my deepest beliefs, indeed of my very life. Buyer beware.
ADDENDUM: Aside from the flaws mentioned above, I wish I had seen Mr. Gershon's review of November 2 before I bought this thing...
I've since received my camera, which too happens to be a Panasonic DMC-TZ5, and I concur that this bag is an extremely tight fit even empty; if you add anything to the front pocket - your SD cards, f'rinstance - the bag is virtually impossible to close. Doubtlessly it would stretch with extended use, but a simple camera bag shouldn't require a "break-in period."
I'll be using a cheaper (~$7) camera bag I found at a local sporting goods store - which has ample space, a solid belt loop in back that's heavily sewn both top and bottom and has a carabiner hook to boot. Maybe I can use the Lowepro bag to carry a pack of cigarettes to my next political rally.
Digital camera Review: Great Camera Case
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this case for the Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camera. The case is well made and fits the camera nicely. The extra features such as the belt loop, the extra pocket and the strap are exactly what I wanted and needed. I go on frequent trips, and this is perfect to protect the small camera while keeping it easily accessible. Whether on the belt loop - that has velcro and a snap - or on the strap, the camera can be pulled out of the top of the case and be ready for a picture very quickly. Its a snug enough fit that I am not worried about the camera falling out. The extra pocket actually has enough room for the small battery charger and the USB memory card reader although it makes for a very snug fit.
The construction is of high quality as are the materials. The zippers have short corded pull tabs which are also a nice feature, making it easier to grab the zipper to pull it open or closed.
I have owned many cameras and cases, and logged many miles over the years and would buy this one again without hesitation.
