Lowepro Rezo 30 (Black) Reviews
I was recommended this bag by the amazon website when I bought a Panasonic camera (DMC-TZ5). I recommend that you buy a bigger size or compact cameras. The bag is quite nice, good quality and looks pretty safe for the camera. You can barely fit the camera in bag. But, is's too small.
What is immediately disappointing is the fact that the belt loop in back, though nice and solid in itself - there's apparently a reinforcing piece of flexible plastic built into the nylon for added stiffness and strength - is only sewn at the top. ADDENDUM: Aside from the flaws mentioned above, I wish I had seen Mr. The mitigating factor is that for 15 clams you can't complain about the product overall. They may be benign, they may be some of those frothing neo-fascist types who want to drag humanity back to the material and intellectual squalor of the pre-industrial (read: Medieval) age. it's not something I want to have to worry about. But I would never have purchased this product had I known that I was indirectly contributing to causes that may or may not represent the antithesis of my deepest beliefs, indeed of my very life. This product bills itself as something designed to "protect your investment," and the one thing I do not want to worry about is having bag, camera and memory card with pix on it torn off of my belt via a pickpocket or a stray tree branch.
Buyer beware. It will suit my needs - 'still waiting on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A camera that's going in it so I can't judge the fit, but that's my fault and I expect no problems. I just recieved this camera bag and it's about what I expected: Nothing fancy, just a well-made nylon & mesh camera bag with a couple of pockets behind a Velcro flap in front. The bottom of the flap is attached with just a Velcro closure with an opposing 1/2" wide nylon flap with a standard metal snap. I'll be using a cheaper (~$7) camera bag I found at a local sporting goods store - which has ample space, a solid belt loop in back that's heavily sewn both top and bottom and has a carabiner hook to boot. It feels solid despite the detachability but.
I've since received my camera, which too happens to be a Panasonic DMC-TZ5, and I concur that this bag is an extremely tight fit even empty; if you add anything to the front pocket - your SD cards, f'rinstance - the bag is virtually impossible to close. Doubtlessly it would stretch with extended use, but a simple camera bag shouldn't require a "break-in period." . Gershon's review of November 2 before I bought this thing. Caveat Emptor alert: Another negative is that the included documentation states that "Lowepro Proudly Supports" four partisan, activist political organizations. 'Don't know. Maybe I can use the Lowepro bag to carry a pack of cigarettes to my next political rally.
I own a LowePro for my camcorder and I just love their products. The design is very well thought out. The bag opens at just the right angle so the camera doesn't drop out when you open the case. Love this case for my Canon Power Shot. I just hope the front pocket was a "little" bigger so that the battery charger could fit snugly. The pocket is convenient for storing memory cards.
The velcro fastening is secure enough, but the loop has a tab button for extra protection. A separate compartment with a velcro flap is large enough to hold a spare battery and memory card. It fits the camera perfectly within the main zippered compartment, which is lined with soft material. I'd have no hesitation in saying that it would protect the camera from a short drop (say table height) onto a hard floor. I bought the Rezo 30 as a soft case for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. I do not give the case a full five star rating, because the zippered camera compartment opens a little too wide, with the possibility of the camera falling out: however this will depend on the model of the camera and how snugly it fits the case. The case comes with a neck strap, but I find the best way to carry it is to use the wide belt loop on the back.
The construction quality is excellent with good padding and zippers that work very well. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A fits perfectly in this case with storage for an extra battery.
