The Lowepro D-Res cases are really wonderfully designed, but be very clear in your expectations: because they're so well-padded, they may look like they hold a little more than they do.

The D-Res 25 AW I bought for my Coolpix 950 fits it like a glove, but for me that's exactly the problem. It'll fit the camera, but the camera's neck strap could only be stuffed in in a manner that was both inconvenient and potentially harmful to the camera. It will hold a spare set of batteries, but an extra filter or two were out of the question (not safely, anyway), as is the tiny tripod (about the size of 3 ballpoint pens side-by-side) I like to have with me.

I mention this in part because Lowepro's camera matrix...recommends the 25AW for the slightly longer Coolpix 990. While this may be accurate, it might not be practical for all consumers (for reasons such as those given above). Still, the matrix is a good place to start, and full dimensions for each bag can be found elsewhere on the manufacturer's site.

For myself, I will be exchanging the 25AW in favor of the 30AW, which adds some width for accessories. Once you've found the right size for your purposes, these cases are an excellent choice.

I just bought this bag for the Canon Powershot G2 ...
Though another reviewer made an excellent point in saying that apart from batteries and 1 or 2 extra memory cards it won't fit much accesories, the main reason I bought this bag is for optimal protection of the camera itself, and only secondly for transportation...Other points:
the opening is nice and large, though not in a way that the camera might fall out...With this design I think it will be easy to get the camera out when you need to.

The material looks and feels excellent. The inside material is very soft and padded for excellent protection of the camera.

One of the crucial things to me to choose this bag is the All Weather Cover. A 'jacket' that is nicely tucked away in the bottom-back of the camera, that you can pull out and nicely fits around the front and sides of the bag. It may seem a little tight (it has an elastic part on the top) but think about it: the looser it'll fit, the less weather protection it will offer.

A very nice bag for a very reasonable price...

Great little camera bag for the Pentax EI-200 & HP-618i. Had a tough time finding a camera bag that met my needs, and the Lowepro website does a fantastic job of providing a list of compatible cameras for each bag. Check it out!

I bought this bag for my Nikon Coolpix 4500. It's perfect. The cushioned bag protects the camera from possible bumps and falls, plus it is weather proof. In addition to the camera, I pack the following accessories with no problem: extra compact flash card, Nikon's MC-EU1 cable release, Nikon's lcd viewing hood, extra battery, and a lens cleaning pen.

The back has an extremely strong velcro belt strap. Two rings accommodate an adjustable shoulder strap (which I leave off). I use the 4500-strap through the side of the 2-zippered cover.

All in all, the highest quality, function, and design for a camera the size of the Coolpix 4500.

I purchased this bag for my Sony DSC-S70. It's a great case for large/awkward-shaped digtial cameras. It holds two memory sticks and an extra battery. The inside is lined with a soft, felt-like material with does not scratch the LCD displays. There's plenty of padding. On the bottom of this bag, there's a hide-away waterproof hood that covers the entire bag.

This is my third Lowepro camera bag for all the other camera I had in the past and now. This looks good and very well made inside and out. I bought this one in particular for my Canon SX210 IS. I am looking for something that would fit other things like batteries, memory cards, USB cable, charger, lens clenaer, etc. Well, there is a separate compartment for the memory and batteries. The main compartment is too big for my camera alone. I wished it had one of those dividers with velcro that you can move around. My previous Lowepro's have this on them. With this one, I can't put my other accessories as it might scratch my LCD. It is a very good camera bag, just make sure it is the right size for your camera. This camera would accomodate a small SLR camera.

Great bag for my Sony DSC-S85, fits perfectly. Anyone with camera of like size could use this model Lowepro. Quality of Lowepro is great, fitment with camera is superb, it is light and protects. Lowepro is the best bag for the money, you're hearing it from a "very" satisfied customer.

Notwithstanding that many people who have evidently never dropped a camera are recommending this case, it is inferior in every respect to other cases available at a similar price. I returned this case and ordered a different one of similar size, made by a different manufacturer. If you are curious as to what that would be, just do a search within Camera and Photo for 5693. Or check my other reviews.

This case has only a layer of soft foam padding so thin that you can compress it to the thickness of a sheet of paper with the slightest pinch of your thumb and finger. It is incapable of absorbing any useful amount of energy, and hence incapable of offering your camera any significant measure of protection.

This case uses a zipper closure that is not only inconvenient as compared to a snug-fitting flap that closes with a side-release buckle, but also, wear of the camera at the point where it will inevitably rub on the zipper, will be unavoidable. This is a horrible design, altogether inappropriate for the intended purpose.

The cover that pulls out and covers 3/4 of the case might help to deter water in situations where it probably wouldn't get wet anyway. The other case that I ordered will be not quite as good in this respect, but if I'm concerned about the camera getting wet, I'll use a plastic zip-lock bag either around the camera inside the case, or else around the case.

Something else that I didn't like about this case is that it uses that fuzzy nylon (or polyester) for the lining, which is the same stuff that you see used a lot for lining the pockets of coats and jackets. It is supposed to simulate soft cotton, but it isn't the same. The fuzzy fibers have a way of sticking to my fingers. In the jacket that I had that used this stuff, every time I put my hands in the pockets and then pulled them out, the pocket lining would come out along with my hands. I just don't like the scratchy feel of this stuff, and I prefer a smooth lining that simulates silk instead.

looks so nice and clear, I want to buy it after I saw it.
