When we sight-see I have camera hanging from my neck all day (I take LOTS of pictures) and do not need the case (the lens cap is good enough), but I need a lightweight, compact and padded case to put the camera in to put into backpack or wheelie (when flying) to protect the camera. This case fits the bill well.

It has a notch on each side that the strap can hang outside the case when it is closed. The case has 3 compartments: one inside and one on each side outside.

The coolpix case is OK for carrying a spare card and a spare battery; the difficulty is that there is no strap or loop to secure the case when you take the camera out to use.

I bought this bag for my FANTASTIC new Nikon P80. Well, the camera fits in the bag, but there's no space for my extra battery, or for the lens cleaning pen (which I also bought).

However: this is the worst purchase I've made all year.

Why? The bag is poorly made. You could buy almost any other bag, and it would be better quality than this.

-The quality of the fabric is nothing like the fabric used in Lowepro bags (for instance).

-The padding is so thin to be almost non-existent.

-The bag looks cheap.

-The top doesn't fit the rest of the bag properly, so if it rains, your camera will get soaked.

-No strap.

-This bag is much more expensive than anything similar on the market.

I bought a little Lowepro bag for much less than the price I paid for this bag, and am using that instead. I suggest you do the same.

This case is just for your camera and maybe a few SD cards and a cleaning cloth. That is it. It is perfect if that is what you are looking for. I have a larger case for my Nikon P80, but I wanted a little one to offer protection while in my bag. This is exactly what I got with this case. If you are looking for a case to also hold your charger, a little tripod, etc., then this is not the case for you. I took mine to Italy for 2 weeks. It gave the protection I wanted while in my check-in bag and then I could just toss it in my purse while seeing the sights and not worry about my P80 getting hurt.

As I said, it did exactly what I needed...protection while in my bag. I am happy I purchased this case.

This product is described incorrectly. It does not have a belt loop. I bought one expecting the belt loop and am very disappointed. Looking at other websites, I now find descriptions that say the wrist loop on the camera is what is used for carrying the case and camera. What good is that? What do you do with the case when you want to use the camera for picture taking?

It is a small case-fits the specified camera-but doesn't have any room for extra stuff-like batteries or cords or anything. Great if you just want it to go around and protect camera-not great if you have stuff that you want in the bag with your camera.

I've had the case for a few years now and it serves its purpose well. Keeps the camera clean and safe.

I bought this one for my P90 eventhough it says its for P80. Its a perfect fit.

For the price I payed (<5$) its worth. The major drawbacks are

1. No straps or hooks to use a strap . Meaning you need to hold this in your hand always and cannot be used to carry it around. You can use it to keep it safe while carrying in a big bag.

2. Not so thick to protect it outside

3. Just one inner pocket..and zero one with zippers.

This case fits my Samsung HZ25W snugly and has room for the power/computer cable, if you choose to do so. I bought this primary for protection while touring/hiking and if you plan to take the camera in and out for frequent shooting, I wouldn't recommend putting anything in the case besides the camera because the other items may fall out. There is no secure compartment for accessories. The workmanship and materials seem sturdy enough.

Wonderful product, really excellent service from the dealer. My package actually was lost in transit but the dealer promptly replaced it with a new one.
