I just purchased the Sony Mavica 5MP Digital camera from Amazon and wanted to get a nice soft case to protect my investment.

This bag is specifically made just for the Mavica cameras and is featured in the accessories book that comes along with the Mavicas. The design and color scheme of the bag is black and blue and prominently features Sony and Mavica lettering on the case.

You can carry the camera upon your shoulder with the adjustable carrying strap or the bag can be attached to your belt. It has a separate front zippered compartment with bungee cord for a couple spare CD-R/RW mini discs and also a spare battery if you like.

A nice soft case camera bag that is sure to fit and protect your Sony Mavica camera!

Happy Carrying and Picture Taking!

As usual, Sony equipment is pretty good, and I'll buy Sony stuff without question. BUT...

The case has a main drop-in compartment for storing the camera, and a front flop-down pocket lets one store three batteries and three 3-inch CDs. Both the main compartment and the pocket are double-zippered.

I bought the eye-level viewfinder and it will not fit into the case when attached to the camera. When not attached, it will fit into the compartment, but then only on top of the camera, making it subject to squishing if, say, somebody decides to sit on the case.

The Mavica fits into the case back-first and lens up. That means to remove the camera one must grab it by its lens. Somehow I have a problem with that, but after four years of working with the case and camera that hasn't been a problem.

I originally gave this case a 3-star review, but, as mentioned above, after actually using it for several years, it rates 5 stars as a soft case.

I bought it to store a sony camcorder - SR300, and it fitted just fine! I`m very satisfied!

The quality of the case is good, but actually the case seemed a bit too small to keep everything in...tight squeeze and no extra room for disks to take along. Where to squeeze everything in was the biggest problem I encountered. Actually I got it in Dec. and here I am still trying to figure it out!

Digital camera owners have a product very susceptible to obscuring dirt, dust, and grime coating not only the lenses but the picture composition veiwing area at the rear of the camera. Mavicas also have more moving parts than the stick storage ulilized by others.

This product greatly reduces the cameras exposure to these environmental threats. It is thoughtfully equipped with storage areas and bungi straps. It is very well made. It's a classic example of form following function.

Great prduct...arrived on time as I was going on vacation and needed the extra protection for my camera. The padding is more than expected and very accessible to use. I would easily recomend this bag.

The problem with buying some items online is that you can't tell exactly how big it will be or whether it will have enough features for your needs. This little case was just right. It was neither too large or too small and fit my camera perfectly. I don't carry around a ton of extras so the number of compartments was just enough for flash cards, extra batteries, the User Manual, and a portable charger. The over-the-shoulder strap helps out when my arms are full of other things.

This is a great bag. It fits the camera perfectly and has room for all of the accessories as well. I'm very pleased and was happy that Amazon carries the item as we could not locate it anywhere else.
