I agree with the other reviewers on most of their observations. This case is well made and the FZ7 fits snug but not tight. The camera with lens hood/filter adapter, hood, and lens cap fits easily in the case. There is a very neat interior little pocket to hold an extra battery and there is enough room for a filter or two or extra memory card(s) if needed. The belt loop on the back is nice and wide and works very well. Since I want to travel light and carry the camera with ease, this seems like the perfect case for me. If you want a case around your neck or over the shoulder to carry/store the charger, manuals, cables, box?,etc. this is not for you.

Case is of good quality materials and construction, but is smaller than I expected from the photo. It does fit the FZ7 camera easily, but if you need a single case for your camera, lens hood, battery charger, manual and cables, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Case also does not include its own strap. I was able to place the camera in the case such that the camera's own strap could be used for toting the combined camera and case. However, when it is time to take photos, you have to have to keep track of where you placed the case. The case does have a belt hoop as an alternative, though I will not likely use it.

Overall, for the price I expected a bit more.

Like the other reviewer said, this case is decent, but could be better. Although I too can position the camera strap to stick out, it would be nice if it had its own. And the inside has only one small pocket for an extra battery or memory card--that's it. No outside pockets is also a little disappointing. That said, it is well-made and does look nice, so it's not all for nothing. And since it is made for the camera, it houses it safely. Although I expected a little better, I'm not sorry I got it.

If it were 1/2 inch taller you could keep the lens hood on in the use position. The small pocket in the bottom side is poorly designed. It will hold one battery, that's all. There is room for a larger pocket that would have held a filter and maybe a couple of batteries.

There are a couple of loops on the top sides with snaps to open that you could use a strap on. You can use the camera strap but what do you do with the bag when you are using the camera? It seems too bulky to use it on a belt. It is time consuming to put the camera in the bag with the strap on as you need to find a place to stuff it.

Over all I think it is poorly designed and grossly overpriced.

If you are looking for a case for an FZ28, trust me... Pass on this one. The camera just does not fit! What a rip-off!!!!

This case was truly made for this camera. It has room to store the camera with the filter tube screwed on (with a polarizing filter attached) and the lens shade stored. It has a separate pocket for an extra battery. Only wish it had an extra pocket across from the batter storage pocket to store extra memory cards. Still, it is a good product. It can easily be clipped to a belt. The camera's strap would be used if you wanted to carry it on your shoulder. I don't use it that way and frankly, I think that might be cumbersome. I mean, what would you do with the case while you are taking a photo? As I wrote, I don't use the case that way, as I always put it on my belt and it works great as the camera is easily accessible.

This case accomplishes exactly what I wanted it to - it protects the camera during transit in a suitcase. While there is a small pocket on the inside to hold an additional battery this is not meant to hold anything more than the camera and doesn't claim to. Construction is solid and materials are nice. The case is attractive yet doesn't contain its own strap - rather it relies on using the camera's strap (thread outside the case). This is advantageous in that it makes the case less "gangly", however the camera's own strap is a little short for slinging over the shoulder (true with or without the use of this case).

I have the black version of the bag. It works well, but not great.

fits camera nicely, has seperate battery & spare SD card holder. Includes belt strap.

doesnt't carry charger etc

I purchased this case for FZ18 with the length of the lense although this case is marked for this camera the Camera just barely fits. I would have preferred one a little larger.
