Zing 501 Standard SLR Cover

I've been using this product on my Canon XSi. It fits the XSi with the 18-55mm kit lens, though a little snugly. With a prime lens, such as the Canon 50mm f/1.8 or the 35mm f/2, it fits perfectly.I feel that the neoprene is adequate protection against minor bumps, definitely against scratches. I've never been caught in the rain, but if it rained, I think it would protect the camera as you run for shelter.Covering and uncovering the camera is pretty easy, if you develop your technique. If you don't mind, grab the camera by the flash housing (fingers under the flash overhang, thumb on the eyepiece -- flash closed, of course), put the lens deep into the case, then pull the butt end of the case up around the body. Then pull the hole part over the covered lens part. It's not amazingly easy, but you'll get the trick.The case has a retention strap with a plastic ring/latch that fits the thin part of the Canon strap, allowing the case to dangle while you shoot. The retention strap is amply long, but not adjustable. You may find it bothersome while you're shooting, but it's not difficult to detach the ring from the camera strap. But better yet, attach a mini carabiner to the ring for even easier/quicker detachment. This way, you can also clip the case+carabiner to one of your belt loops.But here's the kicker: the wife hates the appearance of the "thing" sticking through the "thing". (Subtract 1 star from a perfect rating.) It wouldn't have bothered me, had she not mentioned it, but ...too late. Well, she gave me the go-ahead to get a different one. I ordered the  Zing 555-211 UXBK1 Large Eveready (Black) . I hope this fixes the "problem".

I already have a Tamrac bag that holds all my gear, but I bought this case for occasions where I just want to bring my camera with just the one lens attached, and thats it. I have a Pentax K-X, and I bought this specifically to use with the kit lens attached. For what it's worth, it does protect my camera from minor elements and dings, and it does fit nice and snug around my camera. However, I don't think I'll be using it much because it is too awkward to put the camera back in the case and close it. Taking it out is easy, but putting it back in and closing it is more of a chore than I want it to be. It's due to its design. You almost have to turn it inside-out first before you put the camera in, then turn it out again, then grab the camera thru the case with left hand and stretch out the loop (requires some force) with right hand in order to loop it around the lens. In my opinion, the best camera cases and bags are designed with ease of use in mind, and should give you the ability to quickly access your camera and quickly put it back without much thought and effort (like my Tamrac camera bag). Plus, the buckle on the strap that you connect to your camera is plastic and very stiff and difficult to use.While the design is novel, and it works in theory, it just doesn't cut it for practical purposes.

I have a Canon T2i DSLR w/standard kit lens. I dislike traditional camera bags, they have tons of padding sure, but they are either really bulky or leave little room for anything else but the camera. I was heading for Disney World with my kids and I wanted to be able to carry my DSLR with me, but not have to carry a bulky camera bag. I wanted it protected inside my backpack but also be able to throw other things in there. I found this on Amazon and decided it looked like it was worth a try.I ended up liking it quite a bit - it worked perfectly for that original purpose, protecting the camera while its in the bag. But I realized it worked well too to protect hte camera while its around my neck - so I didn't feel like I had to worry so much about it if I slung it over my shoulder. I could keep it out but protected. The case also has a little strap which attaches the case to the camera's strap, so I never had to worry about it, I pulled the camera out and let hte case dangle and it was right there to put the camera back into. It's a little bit awkward at first, but once you get used to it, I could get the camera in and out very fast.This fits my T2i with the kit lens perfectly. You absolutely could not fit a larger lens in it though they do sell the same model made for zoom lenses.

This camera case was perfect for my recent vacation. I just upgraded to a DSLR (Nikon D3100) and was excited and nervous about taking it with me all day. Our activities included a lot of outdoor walking in the heat and I knew I didn't want an extra heavy camera bag to lug around with me. This is the perfect compromise. It adds almost no weight to the camera and still uses the camera's own strap. It provides the camera with extra protection and padding without adding bulk and weight. I mainly carried the camera in my purse which prevents advertising the fact that you're carrying around an expensive camera. As for use, I quickly got the hang of it. It's definitely a snug fit and the D3100 might fit better in the large case. With a little use, the fabric stretched out and it became much easier to get on and off. The trick is to put the lens in first and then adjust the other seams to fit in the right spots. I really like the fact that you don't have to mess around with different buckles and straps. Just put the loop down over the lens and you're good to go. The attached tether strap makes it even easier to use. I wish it included a small pocket for a lens cap. I can't see this working as my only case for the long term, but it's definitely perfect when your camera is set-up as you need it and you don't need or want to haul around a bunch of accessories. I also wish Amazon had some of the other colors in stock. The black is boring. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and would make it again.

I bought this on the back of the review regarding it fitting a Canon 500 with a 55-200mm lens stupidly thinking it would easily fit the Canon 550d with 18-135mm lens. I was dead wrong. It is at least 1" too short for my camera + lens. So I would recommend that you measure your camera before buying. It does fit my old dslr with the 18-55mm lens perfectly.Otherwise a great bit of lightweight kit to protect your Camera whilst not bulking out your rucksack. A small zip pocket for a lens brush and spare battery would not have gone amiss however. Hence 4 stars.

I was looking for something that would protect my Fuji X-T1 + 18-55mm kit lens without adding too much bulk, but was concerned that as this was for a DSLR it would bee too big for the comparatively small X-T1, but I needn't have worried; it's a perfect fit. Although small compared to a DSLR, the Fuji is already bigger and heavier than my other cameras, so I also needed something that added as little weight as possible. At around 110 grams the Zing will be ideal for stowing the camera safely into my hand luggage, and to protect it from knocks and scrapes when carrying it over my shoulder.

I use this for my Leica Monocrom - this cover accommodates the body, thumbs up grip and handgrip assembly of my camera and seems to do a good job. It is not intended to protect the camera from a fall onto concrete, for example, but it will certainly mitigate any shocks - it acts as a useful in-bag protector.

Great. Fits like a glove whilst protecting my dslr on all travels and jobs.I use both my 14-140mm and 12-60mm lens on camera when in use

This a perfect fit for the Fuji XT-1 and 18-55mm lens (including a Gariz leather halfcase attached to the camera)Great for placing in a rucksack or Travel bag and not worry about other items in the bag coming into contact with your camera.looks good in Black , i have the PRO version too Highly recommended.
