Perfect for traveling light
(5 out of 5) by Steve on Aug 3, 2006 (Detroit)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.

Good quality, but a small and strapless.
(3 out of 5) by Eric Mclaughlin on Jun 30, 2006 (Mundelein, IL USA)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.

Good, but could have been better.
(3 out of 5) by Dave on Jul 9, 2006 (Massachusetts)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.

You can do better
(1 out of 5) by Salli Thompson on Dec 21, 2006 (SF, CA)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.
