The Case Logic DCB line of camera cases is tailored to fit the most popular cameras and camcorders on the market. Sleek lines, textured materials and vibrant hairline accents create a stylish bag that offers the protection and quality for which Case Logic is known. Available in nine sizes, this family of cases fits everything from a point-and-shoot to a large DSLR with multiple lenses and accessories.

The DCB-304 holds most high-zoom, fixed lens cameras. This bag was designed for the person who wants to carry their camera and a few accessories but doesn’t need a full-sized case. The vertical-load camera compartment measures 5.8 x 4.6 x 3".

Materials

High-quality materials are used throughout this exceptionally crafted case, which is backed by a 25 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Durable 840-weave nylon is paired with smooth polyester to create an appealing dual-textured exterior that is finished with hairline accents of vibrant red. The case interior is lined with scratch-resistant, micro rip-stop nylon in complementing red and gray for easy visibility of the contents. High-density foam padding secures and protects your delicate hardware. Rubber zipper pulls in matching black and red enhance the overall design of the case. Carry options include a padded handle, removable shoulder strap and an integrated belt loop.

The vertical-load compartment provides quick access to the grip of your camera. Designed to fit most high-zoom cameras with an attached lens, this area measures 5.8 x 4.6 x 3".

Padded Flex Wall

A padded, flexible wall within the main compartment creates storage for a charger, USB cable or other accessories while separating these items from the camera. When not in use, this wall pushes out of the way and rests against the back of the case for added camera protection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made, nice looking camera case June 19, 2010

By SMXSteve TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

This is a well made case and looks great. Material is strong but not too rough. Two side pockets each with a little net pouch inside. The net pouches alone hold 5 AAs each. Inside the main flap is a small zippered pocket. Inside the main compartment is a little divider connected via elastic bans. It comes with a shoulder strap and a belt loop.

It is a very handsome case, black with nice lines and a touch of red here and there. Inside is gray (or silver) making it nice and light to see what's in there.

The problem is the Amazon (sold by Adorama) description does not give you a clear idea what camera this is for. It is too small for a DSLR (like a D300s or even a D50) yet quite large for your basic point and shoot. Other info I have says it " Fits Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, Nikon Coolpix P100, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 and similarly sized cameras." My old Olympus 2500 fits quite well. If you have one of those this will be a great bag at a nice price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good case for a 'Super-Zoom'. May 1, 2010

By D. Hentze TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect case for the CoolPix P500 May 15, 2011

By M. Dobyns

I am an advanced amateur photographer who has been using SLR's for 40 years. I use a Nikon D90 for serious photography, but I bought the Nikon CoolPix P500 because I wanted to have a quality camera handy that is not a chore to bring along making you sorry you brought it. I am going on vacation to the Bahamas and I wanted a day bag for the camera. This case has ample room for the P500 and the strap in the main compartment. The side pockets are ample for extra memory cards and batteries. You can also fit the Nikon rapid charger and a few pre-moistened lens wipes, but not much else. Perfect. It is compact enough that it does not get in the way and has a belt loop so you can attach it to your side or back to keep it from swinging all over the place when climbing, hiking or biking. It is well padded and should protect the camera well from bumps and bruises as well as light rain. This bag provides ample protection without the bulk of a bigger bag. VERY SATISFIED.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fits the Panasonic FZ35 without the hood; holds smaller accessories.. July 20, 2010

By a reader

I'm comparing two Case Logic camera bags - this DCB-304 model and the larger PSL-46:

I bought two camera bags to see which would work best for my Panasonic Lumix FZ35. This bag is more compact of the two and has fewer compartments than the wider Case Logic PSL-46 bag I purchased. This model has only one zipper along the top opening of the main compartment. Two zippers would have allowed for easier, quick access to the camera (quick pull on the lid gap to grab camera).

This camera bag would be great if I wanted to travel very light and just bring the camera without the larger accessories (spare battery charger and hood). I do like the side zip pockets better on this bag; it holds items more securely. The strap webbing is better quality with this model bag over the other one I got.

Both camera bags I got didn't have much padding, so I added my own at the bottom inside the main compartment. I've also written the review for the larger Case Logic PSL-46 here but I'm not allowed to include links in the reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Case Logic camera case purchased for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 November 17, 2010

By A4STR

Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased the Case Logic DCB-304 High/Fixed Zoom Camera Case together with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 digital camera based on Amazon's suggestion in the "Frequently Purchased Together" section the web page. The product met my expectations and I am satisfied with it. In my opinion it is well constructed and has adequate padding to protect the camera from the knocks that sometimes accompany travel.

I carry my camera in the case with the lens hood either in storage mode (i.e., reversed on the lens)or fastened to the lens in normal mode. You need to know that the camera just fits in the case when the lens hood is attached in the normal position. If you plan to carry the camera with a telephoto extension and adaptor attached together with the lens hood I don't think it will fit the case (I don't have these accessories so I am not absolutely sure about this).

There are two side pockets in which I store the av, usb cables, battery charger and spare battery. There is a zippered pocket in the inside of the top of the case where I carry my spare memory cards.

I found this to be a very handy compact case that just fits the camera plus essential accessories and is convenient to carry and great for traveling especially where space is at a premium. If you have need to carry more accessories or equipment then a larger case or camera bag will be necessary.
