Review: I am very disappointed with this case. It is a very close fitting wraparound two piece case. It has five snap buttons that need to be aligned and snapped together to close it. It is rather difficult to push the camera into the long sleeve and keep it aligned so the snap buttons line up for closure. It usually takes me a few tries to get it right.

If you have the camera in this case and a quick photo opportunity appears, forget it. By the time you get the camera out of this case, the opportunity will be long gone.

Once the long sleeve is off, you can use the camera with the lower part still attached, as long as you don't need to change the memory card or the battery. To open the door that covers these, you need to manouver the leather piece around the neckstrap boss out of the way before it opens. If you want to plug the AC adapter in, you will have to completely remove the lower part of the case, as it covers up the opening for the AC adapter plug.

On top of all that, it has no place to store any accessories, not even a miniscule memory stick. Any self respecting owner will have an extra memory card and a spare battery along, wherever he goes. It would be good to have a place for those in the camera case.

Summary: Easy to use and fits well
Review: I got one from sony, just for my new F717 Digital Camera. It's great if you are looking for a case to carry your F707/F717. Easy to use and easy to carry. But it is a bit trouble when you want to take your 717 out of it. Maybe I am just a special case of it. Just enjoy your new case with your new camera.

Review: It does what it is designed to do so in that sense it's a 5-star case. Beyond that it's quite poorly designed. You shouldn't have to have a Ph.D in structral engineering to put a camera in a case. The button closure system here is ridiculously over engineered. You will actually have to practice putting your camera in this case.

And as for taking it out quickly to get a shot ... well, good luck.

Review: This camera is definately for the serious photographer. Well worth the extra $ for quality in pictures. Surprised by the color quality and detail clearness in close range. Easy to hold and balance. Eyepiece and screen veiwers let the user choose what they prefer in taking pictures. Alot of options. Had this camera two months, and still learning how to use the options.
Very thrilled to have this camera.

Review: This is the best case I've ever had for any camera I've owned. I can say that because I've taken the time to practice getting it out of the case quickly, so now it's second nature.

The fit is awesome, and I didn't need the instructions even the first time. I even took the risk and dropped it 6 inches onto the wooden table. No thud or crack at all. An unprotected camera has a chance of breaking even at that short height. I feel confident my camera will survive my adventures, as I like to take a lot of pictures outdoors.
