If you plan on buying this pouch, I would suggest that you plan ahead. The major drawback to this is you cannot pack the extra lenses or the battery charger. The good side of this pouch is that it's nice to bring along if you plan on just having fun with the Coolpix 880. You can whip out your camera from this pouch, snap a few pics, and then place it back. This isn't a major purchace decision (I mean come on, this is only a fraction of what the camera itself costs) so you might as well purchase this, but then again this isn't the most innovative product either.

I bought this case to keep my Coolpix 880 safe and so far it has done a decent job of that. The only complaints are that when you insert the camera into the bag, the mode dial on the top gets turned by friction. If you have a battery or couple of compactflash cards in the zippered pouch, it'll even turn the power dial on - bad news when you have the lens cap on. The case also needs a long NECK STRAP. Who wants to look like a dork and use the belt attachment on the back?! I'd get a different case if it was designed for the 880.

I am a physician who uses the Coolpix 880 for my clinical work. I am constantly on the go and have several locations where I see patients. The carrying case for the coolpix is ideal since it has a belt attachment that allows for easy transport and instant access for the critical clinical photos that I take. The waterproof case is also a plus for those of us who take our cameras on outdoor birding trips that not only protect the camera but give quick access for the once in a lifetime shots.

This case is perfect for what it was designed for, a small, light, efficient case to be carried on a belt or backpack sternum strap. It even has a separate comp. for 1 battery and memory card. I bring it hiking and backpacking. If you want a bigger, heavier, more padded case with a neck strap, look elswhere.

i too purchased the 880 case and was disappointed when it arrived. it didn't have the space i needed for additional batteries perhaps even a charger for extended periods. i wasn't looking for a suitcase or anything but it fits the camera nicely. i found that the tamrac digital series from camera hut or shack or whatever had a whole line of 'digital aware' cases that would fit any size camera and goodies. you're welcome for the plug, corporate but i don't work for ya!
