Not for HDR-HR500V/520V, no memory stick slots.
(4 out of 5) by Allen C. Huffman on Jun 9, 2009 (Des Moines, IA USA)I will give this a good review, since it is basically the same type of case I had for my HDR-CX7/CX12 cameras, but... some issues.
1) I bought this case for my new Sony HDR-XR500V HD hard drive/memory stick camera. When it arrived, I was disappointed that it no longer had the two velcro pockets inside the lid for two memory sticks. I guess they assumed that since this was for "hard drive" cameras, there was no need for those slots, but the XR500V uses both memory stick and hard drive, and I usually record to memory to save the hard drive from a crash (unless I really need the long time -- the HD is a backup for me).
2) I found out this will not even work with the XR500V. The handle slot is centered in the case, but the XR500V has the handle near the bottom, so it slides in at a very awkward angle. A reviewer for the XR500V points this out, and suggests the LCS-DAB case instead.
So, no memory card slot, but probably good for someone with the right camera. My previous comments remain:
Great for those with no accessories other than a spare battery. Need anything else, like lens cloths? No place for them, and Sony does not sell the pouches separately so you've had to rig your own.
I am returning mine to Amazon (great customer service for them, by the way!) and ordering the DAB model for my camera.

Perfect case for Sony HDR SR 11/12
(5 out of 5) by Naveen Rao Kattela on Jan 4, 2009 (Los Angeles, CA USA)I used this case during my visit to Universal Studios and I love it.
I recommend this product for people who want to get rid of huge carrying case.

Awesome Case
(5 out of 5) by Stephen Cernik on Nov 24, 2008 (New York City)This case exceeded my expectations in every way. It's super easy to access the camcorder from the case while at the same time keeping it super secure and protected. The belt clasp on the back is great for attaching it to the exterior of a backpack during a hike. I would def recommend this product.

Very good and handy product
(5 out of 5) by L. Wang on Oct 30, 2008 (Madison, WI USA)I strongly recommend this product to the buyer of the camcorder. It's tiny, light, but very handy.
A sleek, quality case that fits my Panasonic hdc-hs300K 120gb camcorder
(5 out of 5) by P. Manos on Sep 15, 2009 (Encino, CA USA)I got this case for my Panasonic hdc-hs300K camcorder and it fits it like a glove! For those of you owning the Panasonic brand mini camcorders, rest assure this case will be a perfect fit for them. Also, the battery pouch fits the vw-vbg130 battery just fine, so you'll be covered on that front,as well.(It looks big enough to fit the bigger battery- vw-vbg6,too) Easy access, shoulder strap, the case is labeled soft, but I'd say it's semi-soft and feels tough enough, unless a 300 lbs -football player or your aunt sits on it :-). I would get an extra plastic zipper bag or some other protective device to cover the case,in case of rain. Anyway, great buy and good choice product for those of you, who need a quick "in 'n' out" access, without carrying all the add-ons (cables, chargers, lights,etc..).
