Good Case For Panasonic FZ5

[timk99]

Having just received my FZ5, I want to get a case for it asap.

Could someone recommend a case that will nicely fit the camera plus an extra battery, the lens hood and adaptor, and possibly an extra SD card.

Lowepro have a recommended list of cases for the FZ5 but none of the recommendations seems to include carrying the lens hood with you.

Hey Timk,
I found this case for my FZ5 by accident at a Wolf camera store in my area. It can be ordered thru the Ritz Camera website. It fits the FZ5 perfectly sideways.It's nice and snug. It's bigger than a pouch case, but smaller than a camera bag. It has a loop for your belt or a strap for your shoulder. It has external pouch for your battery and extra memory card. I know I sound like a commercial,but this case works for this camera.Here are the details:

Quantaray - Ballistic Nylon Digital Camera Pouch Case, Medium
$19.99
Catalog # 441662491
Not bad for 20 bucks....Wise

Thanks. I am in the UK though and never even heard of that make.

Any UK recommendations ?

No sir,
Not in the U.K.,however you can go to www.ritzcamera.com and see what it looks like and find something similar to it in your neck of the woods. Hope this helps....Wise

Having finally decided to keep my Panasonic FZ5, I thought I had better hurry up and get myself a case.

I ended up getting the official Panasonic Lumix case for the FZ5. I decided I wanted something as small as possible and this one is a perfect fit with just enough room to fit an extra battery and SD card.

It is a semi hard case so protects the camera really well. It wasn't cheap at £18.95 plus postage but is ideal for me and it was the only place in the UK that I could find it.

I have found several nice styles at WalMart.
