Five Stars because it is the ultimate in digital camera case design. For starters, it features a zip top full flap camera compartment, a must for keeping dust out, especially if the camera is going to be stored in the case. Also, the zipper can be easily and quickly operated when grasped between the forefinger and thumb whereas the snap release type takes both hands..... and often not without a struggle.

Think of it as a trim compact 8 1/4 x 5 x 4 inch (LWH) inner camera compartment that can have from one to six padded compartments depending upon your needs. Additional zippered gear compartments are placed where they SHOULD be.... on the ENDS of the case where they are the least obtrusive. Having a compartment on the side, as many other cases have, makes a case bulky and clumsy. Kodak solved this by the end placement and adding a full length and width zippered storage compartment on the bottom beneath the camera compartment. PERFECT!

Though listed as a large case, it comes across as sleek and compact due to its design. Two included approximately 3 x 1 x 1 inch adjustable padding blocks allow you to adapt the inner camera compartment to conform to your specific camera. After setting the case up, it houses my Kodak P880 like it was custom built for it. For all its tidy compact appearance, there is plenty of room for my camera even with the adapter ring and telephoto lens attached.

The attachable shoulder strap is a full three and half inches in width where it rides on the shoulder. Besides being padded for comfort, it is vented as well. Even the clasps which attach to the case are unique and easy to use.

The case appears to be well constructed and its good looks are obvious from the photograph...

In designing this bag, Kodak obviously took note of the faults of previous cases and fixed them! They went all the way back to the drawing board on this one..... and got it RIGHT!!

(an update) Well, they ALMOST got it right!! The case tends to be a bit tippy rather than solid on its base. Had they sewn rigid rubber bars on the bottom (as they did on my previous case) it would have made it stable as well as provided protection for the cloth exterior.

If it's an oversight, then the oversight is an unforgivable one, and if it isn't an oversight then it's poor planning...... Let's drop that rating to four and a half stars.

THREE YEARS LATER...... The same bag now houses a heavier, more massive Sony single lens reflex and the 'tippy' drawback no longer applies with the added weight. Back up to a full five stars and I simply love it!! Still just like new and nothing left wanting in case design......

This bag is great! Our camera (Kodak 8612) would not fit in the matching small bag bought we bought this bag and fit a smaller bag inside that we bought from walmart. The velcro sides are very handy as you can organize the interior as you please. There is tons of storage, both sides open up, as well as bottom (we fit a small tri pod in the bottom). We also needed to it be very compact and it seems to work out great!

Kodak Large Black Graphite Camera Bag My Kodak 2000 has a bag that is too small for the new Z980 camera. Subject bag is just the right size for the new camera. And it has pockets for carrying accessories on my photo-runs. As for me, this camera bag is a keeper.
