Review on πŸ“· Compact and Secure: Case Logic DCB-306 SLR Camera Holster (Black) by Kyle Hoes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Only one is missing. Clip for flap.

I love pretty much everything about this camera bag. The only thing I'd like to add is either a clip or something like velcro on the main flap to keep it closed. The zipper works well, but it takes a lot longer to open and close than the zipper. The main purpose of this type of bag is when you want to be out and about with your camera all day but don't want to carry around a full camera bag. because of the weight. So that's what you always carry with you so you have a good camera with you when the moment comes. Therefore, one often pulls out the camera and puts it away. The zipper keeps the chamber closed well, but you have to fully zip and unzip each time to keep the flap closed. If it just snapped into place at the end of the valve, the time you take the camera out and quickly put it away would be quicker and easier. Then when you know you're going to keep it in your pocket for a while, you can close and close it. Just like now, if you leave it open, the flap will be wide open. So I zipped it halfway up when I wanted to keep the valve closed, but quickly pulled out the camera when I needed it. It's okay, but not great. Since it's a zipper, it can still come loose and the camera will fall out if it's turned upside down for some reason or something. The clamp ensures that the valve remains closed in any case. Half zip and open zip also prevent safe use of the handle. If you're trimmed, you can still use the pen.

Pros
  • Zippered side pockets for an extra battery, cables, lens cap or small accessories
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
