My 5 STAR ‘Point And Shoot’ Camera Case

Since I am the first person to review this case, I’m trying to give you the best impression of it that I can. Overall, this is a wonderful little case that is perfect for a Nikon Coolpix L340 camera and a good number of accessories. This ‘water resistant’ case centers on the point of being very lightweight with a well padded interior with adjustable compartments, including quality zippers, materials and construction as well as being ‘waterproof’ with a separate slip-on shroud that comes with the case. You can’t submerge the case but it will protect it perfectly in a rain storm. Instead of adding all kinds of ‘gimmicky’ little zippered compartments that are often too small to put anything in effectively, plus adding bulk and weight to the bag, the Fosoto case offers simplicity of design, ease of use, and quality materials and workmanship for a very low price. Some might call this a ‘no-frills case,’ but I would call it the perfect case for an upper-end ‘point and shoot’ camera. As to the dimensions of the case, please look at the photo below to see how I calculated them. Most people get this all wrong in their listings or their reviews and I’m showing the standard method of measuring that is in use by Architectural draftsmen world wide. The Height of the exterior of the case is 5 ¾ Inches. The Width of the exterior of the case not including the fittings for the strap connectors is 8 Inches. The Depth of the exterior of the case not including the handle on the top of the lid is 4 ¾ Inches. The Height of the interior of the bag is 4 ½ Inches. The Width of the interior of the bag is 7 Inches. The Depth of the interior not including the lid of the bag is 4 Inches. I am taking these measurements with the case empty, and since it is a ‘soft case’ it will expand a bit to accommodate more bulkier items. These measurements are as close as I can get but if you can do better please leave a comment below . There is more than ample room to store the most important accessories that you need to carry with you wherever you go. On the inside of the lid there is a zippered net compartment that I use for the lens cleaner because of it’s accessibility. There are two padded dividers with ’velcro’ tabs that allow you to move them wherever you want them inside the case. In the photo below, I show the accessories that I like to carry with me and I still have room to spare. On the left of the photo is a CamKix Premium Aluminum card case that holds just about any size cards that you want to carry with you. (Amazon, $7.29) 5 STAR Recommendation. In the center I show two the Mini Butterball AA/AAA cases that come in a set of four. I carry one case with freshly charged batteries and one for the empty ones that need to be recharged when I return home. (Amazon, $5.70). 5 STAR Recommendation. On the right of the photo I show the MegaGear ‘ultra-light’ neoprene camera case that I bought thinking it would be the perfect case to use when I wanted to leave the Fosoto case with the accessories in the car. Even though this case is a good quality case, the design makes it too awkward and time consuming for me to use effectively because you have to struggle with both hands to get the camera in and out of the case. In my opinion it defeats the point of having a ‘point and shoot‘ camera that you want to use to snap pictures and go. (Amazon, $1499) 2 STARS. (See my review). In the photo I show the Eamber Genuine Leather camera strap that I use and as bulky as it is compared to the one that came with the camera, it still fits inside the Fosoto case perfectly. (Amazon, $18.99) 5 STAR Recommendation. There are two small straps on the outside of the case that will expand slightly to accommodate storing a small tripod. The one I show is a FotoPro Smartphone 39.5 inch tripod. I consider this to be the ultimate light-weight tripod to use with a smaller device. It is perfectly stable when it is fully extended, but I wouldn’t use it in a gale force wind without holding on to it. I can‘t say enough good about this tripod and I believe that you will feel the same way too if you buy one. (Amazon, $16.99) 5 STAR Recommendation. I hope that I have covered most or all of the questions that people would want to know about in this review and if I haven’t, please feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best to answer yours. I hope this review helps you to decide if this is the case for you and if not I hope you find one that will suit your needs better. Thanks for reading my review. Have fun and ‘snap away’ every day! (I do not work for any of the companies listed above and I paid full price for all of the items I talk about in my review.)

Not much internal storage

I purchased this bag and the Ruggard Commando 15 DSL bag for our new Sony A6000 mirrorless camera. I like the Ruggard Commando bag better and have given the Fosoto bag to a friend that also purchased the Sony A6000. Shipping was slow for the Fosoto bag and the packaging was minimal since it was just in a large envelope. The envelope had a cut but the bag was undamaged. The Fosoto bag is small and has a nice padded strap, but doesn't have any additional storage besides the small zippered section in the lid. The Ruggard bag has a full side compartment to store batteries, etc. It also has the option of using the zipper to open the lid or the buckle (which is faster). The zipper is great for transport since it keeps the lid more secure, but I prefer to use the buckle which actively shooting. Both bags are sized well and are quite compact which makes them perfect for a mirrorless camera. The fosoto bag also has a rain pancho, but doesnt include the hidden compartment for storage like most of the larger bags use. The only option is to either clip it to the outside of the bag, use valuable space inside the bag, or leave it at home (I would probably leave it at home). This is an ok bag, but I like the Ruggard better.

Not that waterproof

The case is fine, maybe a little smaller than you think. The case is NOT waterproof, there's a small rain shield that comes with it, however, is terrible. It's misshapen and doesn't cover the entire case. It also is not completely water resistant. If waterproofing is something important to you, look for a better case.

Nice Case

I'm using this case for a Panasonic FZ1000 and it fits, but it is a bit tight. Ideally, another 3/4 of an inch taller would provide a cleaner fit. If you want the smallest case that will fit the FZ1000 and extra batteries and filters, then this is it. It will fit with the camera strap on the camera. The only tight spot is at the top, so the viewfinder slightly raises the cover when zipped. It still zips okay, but just a little tight. Some may find a tight fit preferable, but I think it should be slightly taller for the FZ1000. The zipper is smooth, the fabric seems durable, and it looks good. The strap is of adequate quality. The stitching seems to be of good quality and the case will stand on its own with or without a camera inside.

Perfect size, very light!

The size is just what i needed. It’s very well padded and lightweight. I can’t fit my tripod but it’s ok, it would be nice if the two belt loop stretched. The strap doesn’t look or feel like good quality but the bag does feel and look great. 5 stars for the bag, 3.5 for the strap. I was able to fit my Canon EOS M10 with a 15-45mm lens attached. A 55-200mm lens, and a dual battery charger.

Durability Problems with Strap Parts

This has been a good compact camera case, but it has some serious flaws with the strap parts that help loop the straps. Both plastic parts broke (see photo) after about 8-9 months of regular but not heavy use. If the straps cannot loop around properly to the clip parts, they come loose and the strap is useless. While the bag itself is fine I now have to get a new strap, which kind of makes buying the bag in the first place very disappointing. I probably wouldn't buy this again, or if you do at least expect those parts to fail at some point and get ready to replace the strap.

Works... Well

Our camera survived the 3wk ANZ trip which included some hiking, sprinting, rains and us. Though the strap separated from the stitching towards the end, bummer! The included wrap for waterproofing was used a few times for the rains and ... It worked. There were times when an unannounced rain met with the cover directly, to no discernable damage, however I wouldn't recommend without the provided cover. Things in the bag: x-A5 body (with a smaller lends attaches), 50-230mm zoomer lens, and the lens cap in the top pocket (inside), the latter causing minor issues in closing the bag.
