Great Kit for the Nikon D3000/D5000!
I don't write many reviews but feel compelled to do so in this case because I found a number of the other reviews either ambiguous or contradictory. I just couldn't find a clear and simple description of EXACTLY what this case can comfortably hold and ended up waiting far longer than I needed to before I felt comfortable enough to order this case. I really wish that I hadn't waited because it turns out that this is a nice case that holds a great deal. Hopefully this review will help others who want a clear understanding of the capacity of the case.
In simple terms the main compartment of this case easily and comfortably holds: A Nikon D3000 or D5000 with the 18-55mm lens attached a 55-200mm lens and the battery charger and AC cord. All you need to do is remove and reconfigure the partitions so that you use two of the partitions to create three sections within the main compartment. Simple as that. If you don't want to store your camera with the lens attached no problem that works as well and will even create a touch more free space within the main compartment.
The front zippered pocket can store the camera's shoulder strap the video cable the USB cable and several SD cards. It might hold a little more but that's all that I have in there. There are also two small side pockets that can hold extra SD cards or other small fairly flat items of your choosing. For those that really want to carry the manual around there is room for it to rest on top of the main compartment. The top of the case will easily fold over it and buckle closed with no problem.
Hopefully that helps. No guesswork no speculation. Just a factual report of what this case comfortably holds. In short I think that this is a great case for the Nikon D3000 or D5000. It's well constructed and comfortable to carry and although I haven't viewed it yet the DVD seems to be a valuable bonus.

Functional with a touch of style
I bought this for my mom's new digital camera particularly to ensure that the camera didn't break and that there was somewhere to store any extra cards. This handy neoprene case does just that. It's simple and functional. My worry about leather though it looks stylish is will it be cushioned enough if the camera falls or gets bumped. Well this case because of the neoprene will cushion any blows and ensure long life and use of your camera. Good purchase.

Nikon "S" series camera case
A sturdy compact close fitting case that will protect our Nikon S510 camera in case of a fall. It has a loop to carry it on your belt and uses magnets to keep the flap closed (they seem to work pretty good.) Unfortunately it does not have slots for a spare chip and battery. However we use the belt loop to hold the spare battery.

Great Soft Case!
The "Case Logic UP-2" is a very well made soft pouch/case that perfectly fits my Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder 60-Minutes (White). This case has some great features:
* A silky smooth inside so it will not scratch my lens
* "Locking" draw string wrist strap to keep your camera snug and protected
* Metal ring clip (removable) to attach to a belt loop or shoulder strap
* Very low price for such a well made case
This is well padded enough to protect my camera but still fits in my pants pocket without being too bulky.
Highly recommended!

Fits a DSC-V3 perfectly + some small items
Some of the other reviews here have marked this bag down due to its size but it fits some Sony cameras very well. Best advice is to check out the fit before you buy. For me the DSC-V3 sits inside perfectly without being too tight or too loose. There is no moving around when the case is closed.
There are three compartments to this bag the bottom front the top front and the main compartment. The bottom front can hold about 4 AA batteries (either horizontally or vertically) while the top one is a little smaller perhaps holding memory sticks or flash cards but can also fit 4 AAs. The top one has a small mesh pocket on the inside to prevent the items from slipping out while the bottom and main compartment have nice "side guards" which come up about 1" on the bottom and 2.5" on the main compartment. These side guards are nice in case your zippers aren't fully closed to prevent smaller items from slipping out.
The included shoulder strap is pretty worthless but at least it includes a small strip of padded rubber on the nylon strap. I'd recommend replacing it with the one that came with your camera (if it came with one and you're not using it).
Padding is decent. Best on front and bottom ok on back and weak at the side zippers though there a small bit of padding on the side. The back "belt" clip is a snap button which holds pretty well under stress (so far).
Downsides is the quality and noise of the zippers and not too much of an inner zipper guard for the main compartment so the camera coming out can rub against the plastic teeth.
Overall I am very pleased with this case especially compared to the other selections out there. Ignore the reviews where the guy wants to put his charger his connectors flash tripods shooting lamps assistants and their wives all into this little bag. It's a COMPACT bag that is meant to hold just your camera and a few small items. If you have a V series Sony camera especially the V3 I highly recommend it.

Love it!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3ILMIQZ89OWK0 I was happy to find this case on Amazon. The only other place I found it was online at the flip store and it was $50 on that site. When it arrived the first thing I did was a tissue test. Put some toilet paper inside and made sure there was no debris on the seal then submerged it in the kitchen sink for a while. Tissue was dry and so we were off to test this puppy in the pool at the YMCA. It worked great! I had to take the strap off of my flip for it to fit but this case does come with a yellow strap that you can add to it. It floats so no need for dive for your flip if you lose your grip. As another reviewer mentioned make sure you have the right cam to fit this case. I see reviews of people that have bought the 1st gen watercase to fit the 2nd gen ultra hd's and giving bad reviews. There is not a way to attach this to a tripod that I can tell and the hinge at the bottom of the case prevents it from standing up on its own. You will need to capture footage with someone holding it or find a clever way to prop it up. I think if you are dilligent about checking the seal with each use your flip will be fine. It states in the instructions that even one grain of sand or a single strand of hair can cause leaks. I am exicited for next summer to enjoy this in our backyard pool and the water rides at Cedar Point!

Perfect for the my camera and at a great price!!!
I just purchased the new Sony DSC-W50 and wanted a case to protect it. This is a great case in my opinion. Soft and plush inside but firm and protective on the outside. The camera is held firmly in place from the moment you first slide it in the pocket. The additional small zippered pocket on the outside is handy for extra memory sticks or maybe even an extra battery. The belt loop is very handy and there is even a metal ring so that you can attach it to a carabiner or something of the like if desired. However what I like most is that it will protect your investment and look good doing it. I think it's one of the best buys out there. It can be had for less than $15 delivered from several sellers through Amazon.
