5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet little case., July 8, 2007

By	Richard Wood "ricosf" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Canon SD800IS I bought didn't come with a case, and my backpacking trip to Yosemite put enough abuse on the camera that I decided to get a case (I had the camera by itself in a pants pocket). I actually bought the case in a store (gasp!) instead of online, so I compared five models in the Lowepro Rezo line.

This one has the requirements and no more:

* Nice padding, so it should hold up to anything short of bone-breaking accidents.
* The camera fits in its pocket nice and snug, so it doesn't bounce or slide around.
* The front pocket can hold a spare battery or two. Update: it would have been nice if this pocket had a elastic opening, since anything in it can slide out when the case is open; for example, if you remove the camera and then drop the open case back in a bag, you might find your spare battery at the bottom of the bag instead of where you left it.
* There is a removable neck/shoulder strap; it seems pretty lightweight, but the combination of camera and case will be well under a pound, so it is probably adequate.
* Crucial: the belt loop on the back is sturdy, but can be unsnapped (it uses a clever combo of velcro and a snap to keep it secure). Because it can be unsnapped, it can be attached to my backpack's waistbelt without my having to unthread the entire belt -- which would be a major chore.

Other comments:
* Some of the other Rezo models have stitched-on belt loops, which would make it very annoying to add it to a waistbelt of something like a backpack or hydration daypack. The Rezo 15 and 50 both have the good kind, the 10, 20 and 30 have the bad kind.
* The description touts the zippered main and front compartments: but *this* model has no zippers whatsoever. A single flap goes over the back camera compartment and the smaller front accessory pocket, and closes with a big patch of velcro. Also: no gussets. I think they are describing the Rezo 50, which is a bit bigger. I thought the Rezo 50 was nice but bigger than I needed, and the other three had the deal-breaker fixed beltloop.
* There's no room in this thing for a charger, if you were hoping for a big enough case for all your accessories. You probably couldn't even jam a USB cable in there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera case, January 6, 2006

By	Coolerboy (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I really like this camera case. My Nikon Coolpix 5100 didn't come with a case and the Lowepro Rezo 15 fits it nice & snug. I'm a bit of a clutz and this allows me to not worry about my camera. It has good padding for protection and the velcro flap is nice & strong so the camer stays in place. I've never used the strap that came with it. I 'm not really a fan of belt loops, but the one on this case is pretty convenient. It's sturdily built and has a strong velcro closure which allows me to take it on & off without having to take off my belt. I've never used the shoulder/neck strap that came with it, so I can't vouch for that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy and compact, but there are much better options available, January 12, 2009

By	Johnie Smith - See all my reviews

I'd give this case 2.75 stars if there was the option available. I have this case. I use it for my Canon SD800IS camera. The camera fits nice and snug in it. The case is actually slightly broader than what I would like, but still fairly compact. It is sturdy and will protect your camera if it falls from waist-height, or a bit higher. But it has a Velcro flap instead of a zip. The velcro makes it easier to open and close, but it allows dust to get in very easily. And convenience of opening/closing is les important than protection from dust for a digital camera.
Try Lowepro Apex 20 AW. It's slightly more expensive, but the protection is much better. Also Apex 20 AW has better space for extra memory card and battery.
