Great Case - Fits a Panasonic Lumix FZ200

This is a nice case that seems to be well made, although I haven’t had it very long. I bought it for my Panasonic Lumix FZ200. I always leave the lens hood on and it’s a good fit. I’ve had a larger Lowepro case for my Canon DSLR for many years and it’s still in good shape, so hopefully this case will last as long. I like the removable dividers and the assorted pockets for accessories. I took one of the two dividers out and put the other one close to one end to hold the battery charger and there’s enough room to put the camera in easily either lens up or lens down. It doesn’t quite fit sideways since I have the battery charger compartment at the end. The bag is a good size, not too large or bulky. Minor complaints are that the “formed” top is a little awkward (although its construction helps add protection) and the clasp is new and still pretty stiff which makes it difficult to pinch to unclasp. All in all though, this is a good case for the price and I’d recommend it.Update - 10 months laterI’m still happy with this case. It has held up well through regular use. The clasp hasn’t really loosened up, but that’s not a huge problem.

Tight fit for an E-PL1 and extra lens

I bought this LowePro to house an Olympus E-PL1 camera and two kit lenses (14-42mm and 40-150mm).With the Olympus electronic viewfinder installed this bag is a snug fit.With the 14-42 mounted on the camera there is room for the 40-150 if one removes one of the two dividers provided with the bag. With the 40-150 mounted there is no way to conveniently store the 14-42 within easy reach. You can store all of the bits and pieces, but ease of access suffers.That being said, the bag is built quite solidly. While there is no rain cover included in the bag the bag itself has good weather protection. Note that this bag is not an “AW” model - LowePro’s code for “All Weather”. The lid has a solid zipper and overlaps well. I have several LowePro bags and they are all of good quality.There is a small pocket in the back of the bag, but the Olympus camera manual will not completely fit in it; an inch or so protrudes from the pocket.There is room in the front pocket for a spare battery and SD cards, lens cap, etc.The two pockets on either end of the case are quite small, and a drink bottle would not be a good fit. Car keys, perhaps, or loose change.The interior is unfortunately a loud shade of orange; I can only assume that it’s purpose is to use as a signaling device should one become lost at sea. (Edit - actually of course the color is because most camera accessories are dark colored and an orange liner allows small items to be easily be seen in the bottom of the bag. Makes much sense in a large bag, not so much perhaps in a bag of this size).The bag is advertised for holding “a DSLR” camera - if so they must have meant a very small DSLR indeed; the micro four thirds Olympus (with viewer attached) is about as large as I’d care to fit into the bag. A couple of inches fore and aft would have been most welcome - but it does serve the purpose for which I purchased it.Recommended - if one is looking for quite a small bag.Update, 1 year later:The bag is still in excellent condition, having been carried hither and yon in four seasons of Michigan weather. I have added the Panasonic 20mm pancake lens to the kit. If one mounts either the 14-42 or the 20mm lens on the E-PL1 body the remaining lens and the 40-150 kit lens can be “stacked” in the remaining free space in the main compartment of the bag.

too small for what I wanted

The bag has plenty of cushioning and was small enough to fit in my hiking backpack (which is something I was looking for). I also liked the buckle / zipper top. I could leave the zipper undone and just close the lid with the buckle for easier access. However, I did end up returning the bag because I just thought it was too small. It could fit my DSLR and ONE lense, but there was no room to spare. If I’d had a larger lens on (I only tried it with my 18-55mm lens), I’m not sure the camera and lens both would have fit. I also definitely could not get the camera and two lenses in this bag (despite some reviewers suggesting that you can). If you’re looking for a relatively small camera bag that will hold your camera and not much else, this is a pretty good bag. If you are looking to carry a little more with you, opt for a larger bag

Lowepro Adventura TLZ 15, good minimalist case for Fujifilm X-E1

This is a nice little toploader for a small, compact system camera. In my case, I traded an older Canon DSLR for a new Fujifilm X-E1 with 18-55 kit lens, which is much smaller than the Canon body (EOS 40d). I needed to downsize my older Lowepro TLZ.I was looking for a simple topload zoom type case that fits my new system but is as small as possible since my primary use for this will be to attach to the sternum strap of my backpack while on extended backcountry trips. This keeps the camera at the ready on my chest since removing my overnight pack is a hassle. A larger case in this position restricts my peripheral vision, is heavier, and is awkward hanging off my pack straps.This fits my new Fujifilm very well, if not perhaps slightly snugly, in the lens-down position. I typically use a Really Right Stuff L-bracket with this body. The camera will NOT fit in the lens-down position when the L-bracket attached. However it will fit in the lens-to-the-side position with L-bracket attached….which will be the typical way I’ll carry this. I suspect if I purchase any larger lenses in the future, such as the 55-200 zoom, it will not fit in the sideways configuration.All in all, the case is well made, simple, provides enough storage area that I can fit in a small SD card case (Gepe type), a couple extra batteries, and maybe another small accessory or two. If this provides the long service life that my older Lowepro did, I’ll continue to be very happy.This is a very new case to me, so I can’t comment on long-term durability only to say it appears well-made. I hope this review is helpful for someone looking for a simple, low-profile case for a Fujifilm X-E1 (I had a heck of a time finding one that wasn’t oversized).

Tight, tight fit for a Nikon 5300 but made it work rather than exchanging it.

Too small to fit much more than the camera ans some memory cards

Great bag for camera and one lens. If you have more stuff I would go bigger.

Sturdy case for my Pentax K-50

Sturdy case for my Pentax K-50. Fits my Pentax with a lens on it, as well as an additional small prime lens and small zoom lens. The outer pocket holds my battery pack and cords.

Decent quality but rather small

The bag is only big enough to carry the camera and not much else. The quality is decent. It has thick padding so your camera will be somewhat protected.
