Customer Review: Room for improvement
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using this bag for my Panasonic Lumix ZS3 for three months. I love the camera and I bought the bag to keep it with me at all times. I mount the bag on my belt on my left hip. I've taken it with me in a wide variety of situations and I think I know it well by now.
The main good point of this bag is the secure belt attachment. The combination of the velcro flap and the metal click button tab creates a secure attachment that has never failed me. The bag has never come even close to dropping off.
The weak points of this bag are the zipper closure and the soft case.
When I first got the bag I thought that the big front velcro flap led to the camera compartment, so that it would be easy to rip open the flap, whip out the camera, and capture that once in a lifetime shot of the hummingbird. Not so. The big front flap leads to the little accessory pouch where you can store a spare battery and/or memory card. To get to the camera, you have to manage two halves of a zipper that closes the main camera pouch. That means you have to fumble to find the zipper handles, open both sides of the zipper (or run one side of the zipper two thirds of the way around the case), and then take out the camera. By that time the hummingbird is long gone.
Worse, when you put the camera back in the pouch, you have to be sure that the zipper handles don't fall inside the pouch where you won't be able to get at them next time. This means that putting the camera back is often a two-handed operation requiring a torso twist. It should be much easier.
Worst, the zippers have a tendency to pull open little by little as the bag is torqued and twisted. This is particularly a problem when I sit in a car or a plane with the bag on my hip. On a recent trip that involved a cross-country plane flight and then a train ride, the zipper had opened so wide that, as I was walking up the stairs out of the train station, the camera fell out with a clatter on the hard steps. The passenger behind me picked it up and handed it to me, and luckily it was undamaged.
The other big problem with the bag is the soft sides. Last week I was stupid enough to write a text message on my cell phone while walking on a path in the park after sunset. I stepped into a hole, twisted my ankle, and came down on my left side. On top of the bag. The impact cracked the LCD screen of the camera and ruined it. Very likely the metal snap button that secures the belt strap on the outside provided the hard bullet point that penetrated the soft padding and cracked the delicate LCD. I'm now looking at a $217 repair bill for the camera, almost the price of a new one.
Bottom line: this is an OK bag for a cheap camera that you don't care very much about. But for a sweet gem like the ZS3, I want a bag with quicker access and a higher level of protection. I haven't found it yet but I'm looking.
PS I've ordered a hard case from Adorama and will report on that when I've had a chance to test it.
