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.

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.

Fine for my new Panasonic TZ3, have a pouch for the memory and an extra battery. Very good material and not so big like other bags.

I was looking for a compact bag for my Panasonic DMC-TZ3 and the camera fits perfectly if a bit snugly. You won't fit anything in the main compartment besides the camera but there's a small pouch on the outside for a spare battery and memory card. I haven't tested the bag in the wild yet but it seems well constructed and should provide good protection for the camera.

This case was suggested elsewhere as a compliment to the Panasonic ZS7 camera - and the suggestion was spot on! The case fits the camera like a glove, with a front storage pouch providing room for an extra battery and storage card. If you buy a ZS7, buy this case. You will not regret it.

Lowepro's Rezo 30 is the perfect case for the Lumix TZ3. It's not a hard case, but it's nylon and is well padded and actually provides fairly good impact protection. But the reason I love mine is because when I put it on my belt, I can pull the camera out and drop it back in almost effortlessly. This is because the top has a double zipper and the pocket has a gusset. So it opens from the top, but the sides have expanding fabric walls so the camera cannot slip out. Blows away gf's Tamron. Now when we're on vacation, I invariably grab the camera as we head out each day since it's no bother whatsoever to tote.

I bought the Rezo 30 as a soft case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. It fits the camera perfectly within the main zippered compartment, which is lined with soft material. I'd have no hesitation in saying that it would protect the camera from a short drop (say table height) onto a hard floor.

A separate compartment with a velcro flap is large enough to hold a spare battery and memory card.

The case comes with a neck strap, but I find the best way to carry it is to use the wide belt loop on the back. The velcro fastening is secure enough, but the loop has a tab button for extra protection.

I do not give the case a full five star rating, because the zippered camera compartment opens a little too wide, with the possibility of the camera falling out: however this will depend on the model of the camera and how snugly it fits the case.

I purchased this case after researching Lowepro's website. According to Lowepro, my Canon Powershot A70 would fit in this bag. I just received the bag and could not close the zipper around the camera for the life of me! The case itself is great. It does have a very soft lining to protect the display screen on your camera. Just don't buy it for the Canon Powershot A70!!

Great case for the price. Fits my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 with room to spare. I especially like the snap closure on the belt loop - an added security feature instead of the usual velcro only. I like the fact that there are two small expandable pockets in the front under the flap for extra battery and memory card. Definitely a great product.
