I had narrowed down the bag choices for my camera to this one and the Case Logic DCB-66. The two end pockets will hold one AV cable or USB cable each. There's also a storage compartment in the inside top of the bag lid for storing flatter Items. The given dimensions for the Panasonic DMC-FZ35 are 3"H X 4.6"W X 3.5"D, but with the lens cap on I measure it a little over 3.5" deep, plus the view finder extends almost another 1/2", making the full depth close to 4". This case has very good padding, is well made, and works great for this camera. Placing the camera in the case bottom down ( lens facing forward ) made the case bulge slightly, which was not acceptable to me, but placing this camera in the bag with the LENS FACING UP allows for a PERFECT fit. I was leaning towards the Case Logic case until I found this Lowepro Edit 110 bag on sale locally, so I bought it, knowing it would be easy to return if it didn't work. The front compartment has two nice compartments within which will be great for storing extra memory cards, and still room for a lens pen and lens cloth.
Placing the included divider against the camera allowed space on the other side of the divider for the battery charger, and a spare battery ( snug but not a tight fit ). Even better there are 4 more storage compartments available. If you want to take the Lens hood along, it easily fits front side down over the camera lens in the case, the adapter will fit in any of the other storage compartments. When fully zipped-up the Case Logic bag will probably provide faster camera access, but the multiple storage compartments in this Lowepro bag make it worth serious consideration.
This camcorder bag is fine and very portable with a good weight. A little more space for carrying around some of the accessories like the cables/cords would have been better.
this is a nice bag but i was expecting it to be larger but i will use it
On the other hand, the other compartments cannot take big items like battery charger, len filters and cables. Placed an order for my newly acquired Panasonic HDC-TM350 video camera as products from Lowepro are well designed and robust. The video camera fits well in the main compartment. Only smaller items like SDHC cards, batteries etc can use thesecompartments. Should get a bigger one instead.Overall, not a bad item purchased.Oh yes, I've also a bag for my Panasonic TZ7 digital camera.
I ordered this for my video camera (HF100). In retrospect I would have gotten a larger one so I could fit all the accessories. I wouldnt hesitate to order this brand again though. Its been durable and protective.
