4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, too big inside for 717/707., June 17, 2004

This review is from: Sony LCSFHA Soft Case for the DSC-F828 & DSC-F717 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

Well-manufactured, high quality item.

Pros:
-Internal material is soft and good quality;
-Inside bag is "L" shaped and Sony camera fits perfectly (for 717 it is little too much space left);
-Top, sides and bottom are covered with thick soft material protecting camera;
-Tight but expandable side pockets;
-Excellent product materials and labor.

Cons:
-No top handle;
-Strap hooks and bag rings (where you attach hooks) are from plastic. Not cheap plastic, but it is plastic. For price range paid metal would be expected;
-Top of bag is from synthetic material, so it puts on doubt about heavy weather conditions;
-There is no zipper under cover so taking bag to beach or other dusty/sandy place when it is windy is not recommended;
-Front pocket is way to small, regular leans cleaning book will not fit there;
-Enough space just for one extra battery;
-For my 717 (same as 707 in terms of size) there is way too much space inside;

Conclusion:
This item is good if you have few filters, one extra battery, mini (pocket size - smallest one) tripod and few memory sticks. And there is no more space for anything else. I would rate bag as `easy pick bag' rather that `take it all bag'.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Opinion, December 24, 2005

The thing I like about this case is:

It's soft inside, though I still keep the lens cap on, and sturdy on the outside. There is plenty of pockets for filters, spare battery, memory sticks aluminum case, and the USB cable. I do like the quick release latch to access the camera (DCS-F717). There is a belt-loop on the case if you plan to holster it on your belt. The case is good for field use.

The only negative thing I have to say is...it is bulky. In my opinion, if you want a sleek, form-fitting case, and do not care about carrying extra accessories buy a sleeker case.

Overall, this is a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed., June 25, 2005

I was a little worried about getting this case site unseen, as I had a very specific idea of what I wanted. I ride my bike (bicycle, that is) almost everywhere I go, and I use it as a real photography tool. You can get places cars can't, notice things in a car you won't, and cover MUCH more ground a day than walking. That being said, weight and motion are MAJOR factors in the type of case I was looking for. This is lightweight and semi-rigid, so much so that I feel if I were to 'eat-it', my camera would be a-ok. It has enough room for a remote shutter release, 2-3 filters, extra battery, and several memory sticks, which fits my needs perfectly.

I was a little concerned with the motion of the case however, but here's how I fixed it (to all the cyclist out there): I routed the strap through the cover flap strap of my Camelbak Rouge. Problem solved, the camera is now out of my way while I ride, does not swing down in front of me when pedaling, even out of the seat, and is still easily accessed. EXACTLY what I wanted. Keep in mind, that without this solution, the bag does swing down in front of you while riding, but I think any shoulder case would do this. Hope this helps anyone in my boat.
