Close to great [Posted on 2007-10-24]
This a very good case. My ONLY gripe is the that the spare batteries fall out easily when the case it open. Even then, this is well worth the money.
Fits my Canon PowerShot perfectly.
Perfect for Nikon P5100 [Posted on 2007-12-01]
I just bought this to go with my Nikon CoolPix P5100. It is a perfect fit. Holds the camera tight and secure while maintaining a compact size. Very high quality construction. Well worth the price.

Lowepro or Tamrac, I think either brand is pretty good, just make sure it fits your camera, and what you want to bring with it. (What is your purpose?)
My purpose:
Carry my Panasonic LX3 + spare battery.
Important information about the pouch at the Lowepro website:
1. Find the PDF camera compatibility chart. The LX3 is compatible with the 30 AW as well as the 20 AW. Actually, if you multiply the interior volume, the 20 AW is actually a little bit more. If you tried the 20 AW, you should make a post.
2. The interior dimensions and that there is a thin padded divider.
How does it work?
At first, I needed to stuff my LX3 into the pouch, it is a snug fit. The LX3 doesn't fit well with the neck strap, so I put a wrist strap on the LX3. I put a spare LX3 battery in velcro flap in the middle divider. Then I put a microfiber cloth into the battery net. If you reverse this, the battery would probably fall out. So, everything is a little bit snug, the padding in the middle flap gets shaped almost immediately due to the LX3's protruding lens and the battery. After I zip it closed carefully, the expansion slits on the side open a little. The bag is definitely at capacity, looks overstuffed, but it is ok.
I actually wear the pouch with the included strap around my neck and shoulders (yes, it can be extended to be that long). The thin strap feels like it is cutting a little bit after a few hours. The bag feels like it has some design and quality.
Needed improvements:
1. better padding, it needs to be 25-50% thicker.
2. 2 zipper heads on the zipper.
Conclusion:
I'm keeping the pouch and it will probably be good for at least a year, probably 2. I look like a tourist when I wear it outside of my jacket, but I prefer to wear it inside. Black seems to be less conspicuous than the blue. I actually give this product 3 1/2 stars.
