This is a video to show you how to fit youre Panasonic Lumix FZ28 into this bag. I think the bag is pretty good, cheap, easy to use and very comfortable. Obviously this isn't a bag designed especifically for this model, but the dimensions of the FZ28 are 2.96'' x 4.63'' x 3.5'' (H x W x D) you can compare them with the dimensions of youre camera and see if it works for you. If you don't have the time to watch the video, trust me it fits everything you need, you can come back later and see how to do it :)
I hope it helps you to take a decission. English is not my native language so excuse me if i've made some mistakes.

Amazon's description indicates that this camera case is 5 x 7.5 x 5 inches.
It is not.

The exterior measurement is between 4 1/4 and 4 1/2 inches from front to back. The bottom of the case is smaller than the top in all dimensions. The case is about 4 3/4 inches tall. Measuring from side to side, it is about 6 1/4 inches across the bottom and 7 inches at the widest point near the top. The above measurements are taken from the outside, not the inside, and I'm not including the width of the padded flap in front in my measurement, since that doesn't give much idea of the size of the case itself.

Interior measurements:

Front to back -- about 4 inches. It can bulge slightly since it is a soft case, but getting it to bulge to 4 1/2 inches is really stretching it.

Top to bottom -- about 4 inches at the edges and 4 3/4 inches in the middle.

Side to side -- about 6 inches across the bottom to about 7 inches at the widest part near the top. This is if you remove the dividers, which are held in by velcro. The dividers can be moved anywhere because the velcro adheres to the fabric lining the interior front of the case and the interior back of the case.

I measured my camera very carefully before ordering, and going by the measurements on Amazon's page, there would have been plenty of room. Instead it's a snugger fig for my camera than I expected and it will take some creative rearranging to fit my SD cards and other camera stuff in the case.

There is a pocket on each of the 2 dividers and pockets on the right and left sides inside the case. There are no exterior pockets. The zippers at the sides of the handle on the top of the case allow access to the interior and aren't a pocket.

It's a nice red red -- not an orangey red.

It looks reasonably durable, but some of the seams aren't sewn straight and pull at the corners.

It's a reasonably good case for what Amazon is selling it for. Just be aware it's smaller than what Amazon's description says.

I was looking for the smallest possible case for my new FZ-35 and after reading the reviews here and watching the nice video review, I ordered this case.
I didn't want an oversized piece of luggage for all the camera accessories I've ever owned....just enough of a "glove-type" case to protect the FZ-35.
This is the one......and Case Logic's excellent design covers every little detail......4 zippers, a carrying handle, carrying strap, belt loop, velcro quick-open lid, main double zipper lid, squeeze 'n snap clasp, 2 adjustable dividers, 4 interior pockets and LOTS of padding.

Unlike the video, I face my camera pointing to the back of the case and it easily fits all the accessories INCLUDING the charger. (that's camera, adapter ring, lense hood, strap, extra battery and charger). And there's still lots of "crevas" room for extra memory cards.

Try finding another case for the FZ35 and accessories that you can carry on your belt......and at this price, if you ever out-grow this case, it can be used for just about anything you'd like to carry on your belt for hiking, biking, or jogging.

In summary, for this quality and price....just get it!

I've had a number of camera and gadget bags over the last 25 years, all of them quite a bit larger than the Case Logic DCB-66 that I just bought for my new Canon Powershot SX20IS. I used to carry an SLR with normal lens, a sizable zoom lens, a macro lens, lens hood, and a tele-extender. I usually had a dozen rolls of film, a number of filters (each in its box for protection), notebook, the SLR manual, shutter cable, a bean bag (for those times I didn't have my tripod), and power winder. I hauled a bag filled like this around Europe for a few weeks (in addition to my regular luggage). I wouldn't be able to do it now. Most of the gadgets I carried were for functions that are built into the PS SX20IS (and many other digital cameras) today. That makes the Case Logic bag just right for me. My PS SX20IS fits nicely into the center section of the bag. I'm left with room for my lens hood, USB cable, spare batteries with compact charger, and a small notebook. I couldn't be happier with the size and weight of the whole combination. But as others have cautioned here, measure your gear carefully, assume the bag's dimensions are a little smaller than those provided in the ad, and think carefully about what you need to carry with your camera. And good luck; I hope many of you are as pleased with the bag as I am.

It's not all bad. It's a little smaller than it looks in the product pictures, which is good for portability, and it's perfect size for my Canon SX20, which is a pretty hefty power zoom camera. They aren't joking when it says "1-Pull Access" on their labels -- you just pull on the tab and the case opens right up. NO FUMBLING. You can even close the clasp with one hand if you need to. Don't plan on carrying too many other accessories, though -- barely enough room for a couple of filters and extra batteries. But the design is such that it rolls around real easily when it's in your car, and since there are no zippered compartments to keep spare batteries in, and the mesh pockets inside intended for that purpose are rigid instead of elastic, the batteries always end up spilling of the mesh pockets and often right out of the case if I pick up while I'm using the camera.

I've had this case for a little over 2 months now and I've taken it on 5 weekend trips so far. I bought it because I got the Canon Powershot SX10 IS, which is slightly larger than the Canon Powershot S2 IS I used to have. The SX10 fits perfectly in this case. There is room to either side of the camera for things like a small tripod, USB to SD adaptor, extra SD card, and some extra batteries. The case itself seems durable and well padded inside. I like my camera cases to be as small as possible while still able to hold the items listed above, and this camera case does just that.
Two things stand out that aren't perfect. The items you keep in the sides are within mesh nets with elastic on top, not zippered compartments, so, if your case fell upside down with the top loose, things could fall out... but, yeah, it's probably not too much of a problem unless you are careless with your case. Also, the zippered "1 pull access" on top seems... unnecessary, it's plenty fast to open the case the normal way, and it just adds zippers and velcro to a case that doesn't really need it. Actually, if only they had taken the zippers from the top and put them inside, it would've been perfect...
That said, it's still a great case and I rated it 5 stars.

Someone on AMAZON recommended me this case for my PANASONIC DMC FZ35 but when it arrived, it looks so tiny and it was too small for my camera and it fits very tight.

I want to return this.

This bag came just as described. The camera fits in it just fine,not much room for anything else,but I absolutely love the bag.very sturdy and protects the camera very well.

Looking for a nice compact camera case for your digital SLR and maybe a flash? Well, the DCB-66 is probably not for you. It's a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" item, a full sized camera bag somehow miniaturized to a size appropriate for, say, a pocketable zoom camera and a couple of batteries. Imagine a lady's cocktail handbag and that's about the size. The quality and finish is up to Case Logic's usual standards, and it is an elegant - little - thing, but not useful for anything but the smallest of modern cameras.

Purchased for a new panasonic z35 which has a lens screen. Couldn't fit everything inside. It would be fine for a tiny camera. No problem retu rning the product.
