Sony Reviews

I have to second what the other reviewers said about this case. It is useful and well suited for the camera. I have no substantive complaints, but I witheld one star because it would be nice if more colors were available. How about a nice silver case to match the camera? How about a white one to match my new iMac?

This is a good case for my new Sony camera, though the value for money aspect kept me from giving it a perfect score of five stars.

The fit for the camera is snug, and it manages to provide the camera's body with adequate protection without being bulky. It also resists scratches -- I've used mine for several weeks and have already traveled with it a great deal, and it still looks new (and thanks to the case, so does the camera). It even comes with a variety of carrying straps, assuring that at least one will suit your needs. It is obvious that a great deal of thought went into the case, just as it did the camera.

This case is so good that it makes DSC-P9 and similar Sony models worthy buy just to own this case. It fits the camera perfectly well and has a small case that can be attached to the strap to hold extra baterry or memory sticks. The zipper around the bag pulls out with a strap and is so convenient to operate if you have it on your waist belt. Inside of the bag there is another strap to prevent the case from completely opening apart that might cause the camera to fall down.

The case as a shiny finish to the hard material that can prevent you camera from damage when you drop it down.

This case has a hard plastic? end secured to the camera and a soft neoprene cover that unzips and hangs under the camera.

Pros:
The quick release cover concept works well
The cover stays out of the picture at almost any angle
The secured end of the case adds needed grip
Tripod mount still usable with the case on

Cons:
The plastic? and neoprene surfaces look odd together and the colors don't match well
The cover doesnt full enclose the camera
The case must be removed entirely to access batteries or ports

I bought this rip off. It's nearly imposible to attach to the DSC-F828. And then comes the surprise, it doesn't come with strap or the little attachment that carries memory sticks ect. Very disapointed.

The case is a useful device as it enables you to use the camera and then easily tuck it away into its case, with a minimum of fuss.

Because of its snug fit, there is no room for additional accessories such as a spare battery or a CF card. Sony also sells a larger strap which incorporates a small pouch to fit such items into.

It is advertised as fitting the camera with its hood mounted. I must confess to being unable to achieve this -- perhaps because the case is new, it may stretch slightly over time. However, the hood does reverse and fit onto the lens enabling it to fit into the case.

Sony has thought of everything -- the camera is probably the most intelligently designed (and beautifully built) cameras on the market today.

If you are one of those that travels with everything, then a dedicated camera and accessory case is probably more for you. However, given the design of this case, it could easily fit into a larger bag, enabling a day trip with camera only with some protection. One other downside, is that you will need to remove the bottom part of the case (which separates and attaches to the base of the camera) to charge the battery, as that section of the case prevents access to the power charging port at the rear of the camera.

I give it four and a half stars.
