The suede material and Nikon logo look cool but that's as far as it goes. There is minimal padding and no belt loops so you're pretty much stuck with carrying it or having it flop around your neck. There is no room for any accessories (memory cards, filters, etc.) so save your money and get a real case. I ended up with a Lowepro. I'll keep this one but I don't really know why...

No belt loops on the CF-D50? You gotta be kidding me!

I just chose the Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 for my new D50. It has a shoulder strap, belt loops, handle, top opens toward you instead of away, inside pocket, front pocket and it is just the right size (length and width)for the D50. The depth is a little more than the 18-55 lens needs but just right for the 18-200 zoom, that I plan to get soon, which is 0.9 inch longer.

Did I mention that Topload Zoom 1 is a lot less expensive that the CF-D50? AND check out the Topload Zoom Chest Harness that works with it, sold separately. Both are available right here on Amazon.

PS: I have been using the Lowepro TLZ Mini (same features but smaller size) with another camera for three years and am very satisfied with it.

It's advertised as a case for the D50 w/18-55mm lens but the 55-200mm will fit just fine also. Nice soft cover compared to some of the hard leather covers I've had for other cameras.

I think my title says it all. Although I'm a bit offended about spending this much for a soft case made out of imitation suede, it does fit the camera perfectly and is easy to use. But at least I can walk a little taller around town knowing it says Nikon on it...:-)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my camera will still fit inside after my new 18-200 vr lens arrives. It will be close.

Fit is perfect, finishing very good, weighs nothing, but the case is very thin with no padding around the part where the lens cap rests. This is is extra protection I would have liked, but then it is a soft, a very soft, case. Given another chance I would have purchased a leather hard case like I had for my Nikon 2020 which stood up to years of rough backpacking and summiting.

I am pleased with the case. It is easy to use and does a good job protecting the camera and lens. It was a life saver after I lost the lens cap.

This semi-soft case was exactly what I was looking for. It is not a substitute for a camera case/bag. I wanted it for a little extra padding inside my camera bag and as protection from scrapes when carrying my camera around. What's the difference if you carry your camera by it's strap or a camera bag strap? This semi-soft case doesn't supply any additional storage and that's not really its purpose. I have a nice, comfortable to carry camera bag already and this is for the times I don't need/want to carry around extra supplies.

This case is listed as a product for the Nikon D50, but it fits my D40X with a 55-200mm lens and a thin UV filter like a glove. That means it could be used for a D40 or D60 also.

Yes, you have to take this cover off your camera in order to use the camera, however when your storing or traveling with the camera this cover is great for protecting the camera from minor bumbs and certainly scratches. It is very well made and folds up for flat storage.

It also feels very nice. Like suede!

I would not be without something to protect my camera. As far as I know no one makes a case that remains hooked to the camera as of yet.

i have a samsonite case that i keep the camera and all my accessories in. i needed something not so bulky to cover my camera when i carried it around town. it's a soft case, so there's no protection if you drop it or bump it into something. that's not what this is for. it's just something nice looking to cover it when you aren't using it.

The cover is worthless. It is soft fabric and the retainer clip doesn't work.
