The camera fits snugly inside the padded leather case. I slide the camera in backwards with the lens pointing up. The coiled camera strap fits alongside the lens. There is a zippered compartment in the front that will hold two spare batteries. Another zippered compartment in the lid will hold two spare memory cards. There is small mesh pocket on the lid that is good for temporarily storing the lens cap. The lid closes with an adjustable plastic buckle. If it's tightened all the way it slides over the sides with no gap. If the buckle is loosened there is a gap, but also enough extra room to allow the camera to fit with a lens attachment. The case comes with a strap and a belt loop. The belt loop doesn't look very substantial. I will be relying on the strap instead. The Nikon name is on the round plastic oval on the front of the bag. The camera fills the bag nicely so if you planned on hiding your lunch in there too you will be disappointed.

Bit of a ... tatty little bag. When closed the top allows space around the sides for water/grit/gunge to get in. Not an appropriate bag for your expensive 5700. Try the Lowepro range instead - altogether a better class of bag.

If you're looking for a good snug fitting case for the 5700, this is it. It's a tight fit, but holds the camera and strap. There is room in the top inside pocket for a card or other item and the front pocket has quite a bit of room for a extra battery or other misc accessories. Belt loop seems robust and the rings for the strap is sewn into a nylon strap that goes all the way around the bottom. This is perfect for when I just want to carry the camera and move fast and light.
As to the turning on in the case. I suppose this would be a problem if I didn't consistantly turn the camera off and the switch to review. If the camera is switched on accidently, the lens won't extend. Simple solution that one should always use regardless of the case.
I imagine this will fit the new Nikon 8700 as well.
There seems to be two models of this case floating around out there. (especially on ebay) The one pictured above is the best. The other seems to be lacking some pockets and features.

This is a quality bag for the price. It is a little small and tight for the Nikon Coolpix 8700.

This case fits the camera well, along with space for an extra battery and several compact flash cards. DO NOT buy this case if you use filters. There is no extra space for the large 67mm adapter or the filters themselves.

The 5700 camera fits like this case was made just for it - which it was. The reviewer who said the camera wouldn't fit has the wrong camera or a different case than this one. It's soft, well made and and has pockets for extra batteries and CF cards. If you want to carry more gadgets, you would be better off with a gadget bag than this camera case, but if you want just a case, you won't do better than this one.

I was looking for a case to hold my Nikon 5700 - nothing bulky, just something that would offer some protection while dragging it around on vacation. This case fits the bill. It is a nice quality leather - and holds the camera snuggly. If I HAD to find something that wasn't perfect with this case, it would be that the camera strap (the one that same with my 5700) doesn't fit as nicely in the case as I'd like it to. It takes a bit of arranging, but it does fit. This is really such a non-issue, but I wanted to mention it. I will keep my camera in this case within my larger multi-camera bag for home storage and for travelling on the airplane (where my charger and tipod are kept).
This small case is great for taking the camera out on day trips.
And for such a great price - I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.

Great camera case for nikon 5700 made for and fits well.Does not carry much gear but why should it its not a camera gear bag. It fits my needs.

This is a great case for the Coolpix 5700. It holds everything I need for the basic camera outing. It holds four batteries in the front zippered compartment, and several memory cards in the zippered inside compartment. There is also a pocket on the outside. It holds a small, bendable leg tripod in the belt loop on the back.

This is a quality bag for the price. It is a little small and tight for the Nikon Coolpix 8700.
