The older longer cameras like the P-9 fit in this case perfectly,
while the shorter P-200 has a little extra room lengthwise and
requires a peice of foam to keep it from sliding up and down.

I bought this item for my Sony PSC-P93 camera. It fits like a glove. I compared this case with others available for other Sony models and it's the smaller available. Too bad it does not have a memory stick pocket so you can store an additional memory stick, but nothing is perfect.

I purchased this case for a P200 and, when the case arrived, I was surprised to find out how large this case really is. It may be be appropriate for earlier P models, but why buy a large case for a small camera? My camera literally rattles around in this case. I opened the packaging, and will not return it to Amazon because I fear a re-stocking charge. I will probably 're-gift' this case to someone who has an earlier P model, and look for a generic case that is closer to the size of the camera than this leftover case. My guess is that Sony did not want to bother fabricating a new case for its newer, smaller, cameras and simply wanted to continue selling what it has in stock.

Had used this case extensively whilst snowboarding and it has been really great. Has provided protection for my Sony digital camera from all the bumps, and the semi-soft design is perfect on the odd tumble as you dont end up with a punctured lung from the case - yet the camera is still protected :)

I should say that this case is well designed. Its semi-hard cover protects the camera if it is dropped. I am much satisfied, although sony products comes with a big price tag.

The benefits of having a custom-fitted case for your Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera are probably too obvious to mention, but here I go.

After dropping my camera on the ground several times (and putting a couple of nice little dings on its exterior in the process), I decided I'd better get a case for it before my cool Sony camera ended up getting completely destroyed.

This "semi-soft" case is constructed of a synthetic material similar to what you might see in the stiffer areas of a pair of basketball shoes. It "gives" a little when you press on it, but not much. The silver finish on it is an exact match for the finish on the Cyber-Shot, so you won't be disappointed with that ... this case and the Cyber-Shot were made for each other ... literally. My camera is the DSC-P73, but check the specs on the case to make sure you're getting the right one for your particular Cyber-Shot model. Sony makes this type of case in a couple of different sizes for its various pocket camera models.

The case opens with a tug on the loop lanyard that is attached at both ends to nylon zippers running down each side of the case. When you pull down the zippers, the case opens like a clamshell, with the sides being kept from opening too far by two nylon cloth strips stitched to the inside material, which is that black nylon fleece that is commonly used in cases like this. Whether you have the case attached to your belt, or dangling from its shoulder strap, the case hangs with the hinge end downward, so gravity does the work in sliding the camera down into the case, and the clamshell construction helps to ensure the camera doesn't slip off to one side or the other while you're putting it into the case. You drop the camera into the case, end-first, close the "clamshell," pull up on the lanyard, and VOILA ... the camera is snugly-held and well-protected.

There's a loop on the back of the case for carrying on your belt, and the case also comes with an adjustable nylon shoulder strap, if you prefer to carry your camera that way. The shoulder strap attaches to the "top" end of the case with two swiveling spring clips, attached in turn to two nylon cord loops that are securely riveted to the back side of the case shell. The case also comes with a little pouch for carrying an extra pair of batteries and maybe an extra Memory Stick. This pouch has a velcro fastener on the back for attachment to the shoulder strap.

In sum, you'll be hard-pressed to find a reason to dislike this case ... it is truly a perfect fit for the Cyber Shot. I was just a little ticked off that Sony's MSRP for it is $59.95. The case is made in China, probably at no greater total expense than a few dollars per unit, so I can't quite figure out why I'm being overcharged at least $25 for this important accessory, for no apparent reason other than the padding of Sony's bottom line. I searched high and low for the best possible price on this item, and found it at B&H Photo in NY -- just under $40.00, including shipping. Not bad, but in my opinion, still more than I should have had to pay.

This well-desinged dimenutive case is perfect for carrying the rather delicate-appearing DSCP100 and other Sony pocket cameras. It's hard side and compact interior and wtist strap make this an ideal accessory.

I know what you're thinking. $35 for a case? But hear this--after dropping my camera 2 weeks after purchasing it (it got a ding but operates perfectly--phew!) I decided to take the plunge and get the official sony case. Not only is it sleek-looking and compact, but you can drop your camera (like me, butterfingers) in it with no worries. The style of zippers is also very easy and quick to open. I keep my camera in this in my purse and take it everywhere. I only wish it had a small inner pocket for another memory card, but other than that it's perfect.

I originally bought this case for my little Sony camera. Like others have mentioned, it's a little big. I had to come back and order another one, though, because my Kodak ZX1 (pocket camcorder) fit in it beautifully and I carry the extra batteries in the little battery/flash memory case that velcros to the carrying handle. Protects it so much better than the cloth bag that came with it. The price was WAY LOWER (less than $5) than it is today.

This carrying case for my Sony digital camera is awesome!!! I wish someone would
make one like this for the flip camcorder. This case has nice padding on the inside
and a hard shell on the outside to product the camera from any serious damage.
Would highly recommend it!
