5.0 out of 5 stars The belt loop with velcro and snap, as well as the way it allows you to open the case without dumping the camera are key., June 12, 2007

I actually bought some other model of LowePro case (for my Casio Exilim EX-Z120) then realized the belt loop was different and immediate exchanged it for this one--so glad I did because this case is the best in every respect, and at this low price for such high quality it makes an excellent gift that's cheap without being cheaply made.

Seriously, the belt loop on this alone is worth the difference in price (which is negligible, especially when you consider what it's protecting). The difference here is that this loop opens and closes with velcro, and if you don't trust that completely there's a snap to make sure it stays in place as well. Most belt loops on cases are sewn closed or have a clip that might cause you to drop your very expensive camera while running around. You could seriously hang a full grown man from this loop and it wouldn't come open--first rate outdoor gear quality.

But that's not the only brilliant bit. When hanging the case from your neck, it's naturally that you would want to have the case open so you have ready access to your camera, but not so that it would fall out. So LowePro put nylon on both sides of the inside of the case to keep the camera from falling out even while the zippers are fully open. You can give it a good side to side shake--as would happen during a vigorous walk, and the camera will not fall out (most likely).

The clips for the adjustable neck strap are easy to attach and release from the case (or even replace with a more deluxe camera strap if you like), and there's a nifty pocket in front that's big enough to carry spare batteries, memory cards, money, and your various ID and bank cards with an inner mesh pocket for everything from spare batteries and memory to cards and money. I stuffed two media cables and a spare set of AA batteries in there along with all of the above and they fit just fine for a daytime outing or tour.

CON (only one minor one): You will want to rip or cut out the tags sewn into the inside of the case if you want it to be truly free of anything which might scratch a lens or casing--but this is no big deal.

BOTTOM LINE: Overall, they designed this case with the kinds of features and construction you would find on a larger pack made to carry much heavier loads and more volume, yet didn't overdesign it for its intended purpose. Obviously they field tested this thing and redesigned it as best they could to keep the camera in the case even when on the most active or careless of users, and yet maintained an attractive and functional design at an extremely reasonable price. This is not cheaply designed or made, just cheaply priced--a real bargain.

Appropriate for the business traveler, vacationer, outdoor fanatic, or even the fashion conscious.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Lumix ZS3, November 4, 2009

If you own the Lumix ZS3 the Rexo 30 camera bag is not a good companion. It is too small for the camera, a tight fit in and a tight fit out. The velcro flap serves only the secondary slot for the backup battery so it is not something you can use to enclose the camera. With the camera in the bag you can close the zipper....almost. A struggle whenever you would want the camera since you will need to close the zipper if you want to avoid the possibility of it falling out (which might be ironic since it is pretty hard to extract). Get something bigger. Mine went back the same day. Not suitable and it would be good if Amazon were not suggesting the pairing.
