A great gift!,
This was a birthday gift for my best friend – one she had requested herself, for a new Kodak camera. I was wondering why this size bag for a small digital camera? This bag holds her camera (enclosed in a smaller, fitted case) a table-top tripod, memory card case, pens, pencils and small notebook! Perfect size to hold all of the important items and she loves it!
Nice product, well-padded and I’m considering one for myself…

|Really Good Case For A Really Good Price,
I got this case for a Canon A80 and it fits perfectly. The main pouch is just the right size for the camera, and the front accessory pocket (also zippered) has two mesh holders that fit a spare set of AAs (4) and a CF card. The materials and construction are very good and the velcro belt strap is one of the best I’ve seen.
My only complaint, and it’s minor, is that the whole package is a little “thick” when fully loaded. There is a fairly hefty flap covering the accessory pocket that adds a lot of bulk and seems unnecessary since the pocket is zippered. Maybe Lowe felt that it needed extra padding there. It certainly gives them a neat place to put their logo. If the accessory pockets were on the top, bottom, or sides they would have a substantially thinner (though slightly wider or taller) case that would fit better in a pocket or purse.

|Sweet little case.,
The Canon SD800IS I bought didn’t come with a case, and my backpacking trip to Yosemite put enough abuse on the camera that I decided to get a case (I had the camera by itself in a pants pocket). I actually bought the case in a store (gasp!) instead of online, so I compared five models in the Lowepro Rezo line.
This one has the requirements and no more:
* Nice padding, so it should hold up to anything short of bone-breaking accidents.
* The camera fits in its pocket nice and snug, so it doesn’t bounce or slide around.
* The front pocket can hold a spare battery or two. Update: it would have been nice if this pocket had a elastic opening, since anything in it can slide out when the case is open; for example, if you remove the camera and then drop the open case back in a bag, you might find your spare battery at the bottom of the bag instead of where you left it.
* There is a removable neck/shoulder strap; it seems pretty lightweight, but the combination of camera and case will be well under a pound, so it is probably adequate.
* Crucial: the belt loop on the back is sturdy, but can be unsnapped (it uses a clever combo of velcro and a snap to keep it secure). Because it can be unsnapped, it can be attached to my backpack’s waistbelt without my having to unthread the entire belt — which would be a major chore.
Other comments:
* Some of the other Rezo models have stitched-on belt loops, which would make it very annoying to add it to a waistbelt of something like a backpack or hydration daypack. The Rezo 15 and 50 both have the good kind, the 10, 20 and 30 have the bad kind.
* The description touts the zippered main and front compartments: but *this* model has no zippers whatsoever. A single flap goes over the back camera compartment and the smaller front accessory pocket, and closes with a big patch of velcro. Also: no gussets. I think they are describing the Rezo 50, which is a bit bigger. I thought the Rezo 50 was nice but bigger than I needed, and the other three had the deal-breaker fixed beltloop.
* There’s no room in this thing for a charger, if you were hoping for a big enough case for all your accessories. You probably couldn’t even jam a USB cable in there.
UPDATE: the key feature of this product is its ability to attach to a belt without having to thread the belt through. And in this product’s case, that is true if the belt is *horizontal*, e.g., a hipbelt on a backpack. But if you want to put your camera (or GPS, etc., I suppose) on a *vertical* strap, such as up on the shoulder strap of a backpack, then take a look at the Mountainsmith Cyber II case and it’s kin. Those can be *threaded* on a belt, or attached to a vertical strap without threading. Other than that distinction, the two product lines seem to be equivalent.

|Mystery of the flap solved at last? It’s a smart feature after all.,
I’ve got lots of Lowepro bags and have loved them all. At first I thought I wasn’t going to like this one, but after playing with it for a while, I think I’ve discovered the answer to what has puzzled many other reviewers — what is the purpose of the seemingly useless flap? It seems like a fussy detail with no function — but I believe I have figured out why it is there. It’s actually a clever solution to a tricky problem.
The mystery is that the flap only covers the small accessory pocket, not the main compartment, so it isn’t there for keeping rain or water out of where you would need the protection the most. The flap also doesn’t have any pockets of it’s own. It just covers the top of the accessory pocket, held in place with a nice large square of rugged hook-n-loop fastener (a.k.a. Velcro). Since the flap seems to serve no purpose, some people have cut it off. DON’T DO THIS! Here’s why…
Because the accessory pocket is small, it requires its single zipper pull to navigate some pretty tight corners. Given the size of pocket and the robust materials involved, it seems like an unavoidable problem. But this is definitely aggravating if you are trying to quickly get into the pocket — it pretty much takes two hands to operate the zipper — one to hold the case material taut, and one to coax the zipper around each top corner. This seriously slows things down if you have the case on your belt and want to pull out your spare battery while trying to hold your camera in the other hand. I was definitely not looking forward to this while out in the field, where there isn’t always a good place to put down your camera while fighting with your gear bag. (Also putting down your camera, and then getting distracted, is also a good way to lose it!)
This is where I believe the flap comes in. When actively shooting, you leave the accessory pocket fully unzipped, but use the flap to secure it. Now it is easy, with one hand, to flip open the flap, pull out a battery or chip, and quickly close it up again. For most situations where you are actively using the camera, the flap is secure enough to keep the pocket closed so none of your accessories can easily escape. When you’ve put the camera back in the bag, that’s the time to zip up the accessory pocket as well to keep your little goodies good and safe. The Velcro closure also acts as a fail safe since, by its nature, gravity wants to keep the flap closed down over the pocket — so it could also save you if you happen to forget to close the zipper.
So why have the zipper at all? The flap by itself is not appropriate for situations where it might get pulled open by accident while on your belt, like getting it hung up when when entering or exiting a vehicle, bushwhacking; or when the case is hung from your shoulder using the included strap; or throwing the case in the car trunk, duffel bag, etc. That’s when you want to take the time and effort to fully close that irksome zipper to make sure your accessories don’t disappear, regardless of how the case is handled.
At least that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
Now initially, and not knowing any better, I would have been satisfied with just a zipper that could be easily opened and closed with one hand. But Lowepro in their wisdom probably decided that such a light weight zipper wouldn’t stand up over time. Imagine how upset you’d be if you found you lost a $40 card or battery because the zipper on your case split open? That’s not going to happen with the zippers on this case — they are rugged and what you would expect to find on a larger expensive gear bag.
Another important feature of this case is the belt loop. In general I only use belt cases where the loop is permanently attached, top and bottom to the case. It is more inconvenient to doff and don such a case because you have to remove your belt, but at least you won’t have to worry about it coming off by accident, and potentially without you noticing it! Ooops! Where did my expensive little camera go?
However while this case uses a belt loop that can be attached without removing your belt, a big convenience, there is *no* chance of it coming off accidentally. The bottom of the belt is held in place by another generous patch of rugged Velcro *and* a beefy snap. Not only that, but the snap is positioned in such a way that it is protected from snagging and coming undone by accident.
So while I was initially disappointed in this case because of the balky zipper, I now understand the Zen of its design. Lowepro continues to impress me with the careful thought that goes into their products and the quality of the materials that they use.
