Nikon Coolpix 775 Digital Camera Case

Summary: A compact case for a compact camera.....
Review: ... I'll start with an overview of the case. I'll follow that with my opinion.

The case is the size of the Coolpix 775 camera (about 4" high and 3" wide). It is made of soft grey material with a metal Nikon logo on the front. There is a two sided zipper coming up from both sides, allowing the camera to be inserted from the top. The zippers go down to about 1" from the bottom. The camera's lanyard can be left protruding through the zipper, or tucked inside. On the back is a strap that filts over your belt. On top is a detachable 2 ft lanyard (a 1/4" thick string) with an adjustable stop that can be moved up and down (shortening the loop, but leaving the rest of the lanyard hanging out.

My opinion--the good:

A small camera deserves a small case. This one fits the bill. The soft sides, both inside and out, make it less likely to scratch the LCD panel. Wearing it on my belt (with the lanyard detached), I found it very easy to get the camera in and out of its case in seconds. There was no fumbling involved. Having the lanyard detachable is a real plus when wearing the camera on my belt.

The not so good:

While the small case is nice, it would be nice to have a small pocket to store a spare battery, CF card, or even the lanyard when detached. Also, I find the two foot lanyard awkward. It is a bit long. I would much prefer a somewhat shorter and flattened shoulder strap; I think it would be easier to carry on my shoulder. (There is also the option of carrying the case around by the camera's lanyard protruding from the zipper.)

Review: I considered generic "made for digital" camera cases from lowepro or tamrac; these are very well padded, have gorgeous fluffy linings and so offer excellent protection. BUT they are relatively large and the main reason I chose the Coolpix was its size - the Nikon case fits snuggly and adds little bulk.

The case is a stretchy wetsuit type material that offers moderate protection and is robustly constructed. The lining is a nylon type fabric - not fuzzy but perfectly adequate.

There is a simple pocket in the inside that will take a compact flash card (naked, without plastic case or a tight squeeze with a case). Room for a spare battery would be nice.

The cord is a long 2 feet which allows the camera to be carried around the neck but also unclips easily, and could easily be replaced or shortened if the length bothers you.

The 2 zippers open the case wide for easy access.

Overall, perfect fit, sturdy and functional. Buy it if you want a compact case for your compact camera at a good price.

Summary: perfect fit
Review: You bought the Nikon 775 because it's small, light and will fit anywhere. This custom Nikon case fits the bill. It has one small storage pocket for a CF card and that's it. 775 fits snuggly inside and maintains the small size and light weight of this camera. The removable carrying cord can be trimmed to a shorter length. If you want a carrying case with lots of pckets etc this case is not for you.
