Review on Case Logic SLRC 202 Medium Camera by Brian Edwards

Revainrating 2 out of 5

WARNING: This was the perfect case. Not yet.

I have owned this case for over three years now. I loved it every minute, recommended it to many friends and was very happy with it. Until this year. PROBLEM: In this case, the foam padding starts to crack after a few years. At first I thought nothing of it when I noticed a few tiny black dots on my camera. Then there were more and more of them and I was desperately trying to figure out why my cell was getting so dirty, although I had a little obsessive compulsive disorder to keep it spotless and protect it; He always lives in a case. I once pulled out a lesser-used accessory while shooting and it was covered in the same extra-fine black dust. Upon further investigation, the foam inside the case slowly began to dissolve, and the bottom of the bag was filled with ultra-light synthetic dust. The very things that scare cameras are that they creep in everywhere, cling to static electricity and are very difficult to remove. It may move slightly in the camera when changing lenses, etc., and cannot be controlled. In short, this is just one of the worst flaws a camera bag can have. Rather than protecting the camera from the elements, this case exposed the camera to even worse in-bag conditions. I've attached a picture - you can see the black dust collecting on the bottom of the main compartment and I shook it out a few times. I'm not sure the cause: I suspect it's either due to the eggcrate textured padding in the top flap or neoprene sling degradation. . (Luckily I've noticed this before, otherwise I might have seen lenses and camera bodies permanently damaged by dust that would be almost impossible to remove without professional help.)

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not the best
