+niskibum Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I recently bought a digital camera and would like to buy a hard case to carry it in. Does anyone know where one can be bought. I have a Sony DSC-P71. Quote Link to comment
timf6 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I don't know right off but try a camera forum. Here are a couple good places to start... http://www.dpreview.com/ or http://megapixel.net/html/issueindex.html Tim Quote Link to comment
+geospotter Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 niskibum, Are you looking for a briefcase (suitcase) type of hard case or a smaller "clip on your belt" type of case? If you are looking for the larger type I would suggest Pelican cases. They come in a variety of sizes and can be customized by you. Quote Link to comment
mcb Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Those pelican cases are pretty cool. I have one I found in the trash behind the fitness center here on campus. It had a body fat measuring device in it and they had taken the instrument out and must have decided they did not need the case. I had no idea how expensive they were until I tried to get my brother one also. They make awesome traveling gun cases. The one I got will hold 2-4 handguns very nicely. The smaller cases seem a bit more reasonably priced if you need a really tough case. They are watertight and you could easily stand on them with out hurting the contents. The smallest case they sell may make a good travel case for a digital camera. I just carry mine in a well-padded soft case in my backpack. So far no problem, and I have taken several spills with it while geocaching and no problem. mcb GPS-Yote Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I have a Pelican case for my Sony Cyber-shot. The camera has a rather odd L-shaped configuration, with a long Zeiss lens barrel on one side. It was a snap to create a snug fit in the case using the pull-out foam blocks. However, I only use it when transporting in the camera rough conditions, or if I think it might get wet. It's too cumbersome to use on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment
+niskibum Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 I am looking for something that I can carry on my belt. I currently use a soft case, but some of the places I hike to there is a danger of falling on it so I would like some lightweight protection that is easy to access while hiking. Quote Link to comment
+geospotter Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I have one that I bought for my camera, but it is a little small for it. If your camera is the right size for it I would be happy to mail it to you. (It is also watertight and has foam padding on the inside.) Quote Link to comment
+niskibum Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 My camera measures 4.25"x1.5"x2.25". Could I replace it with one that fits your camera? Quote Link to comment
+geospotter Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 We have a winner! Perfect size for your camera. Send me your address and I'll ship it out. No need to replace it. Just looking it over, I can see that it would make a perfect GPS case also, but, as with the camera, my Mag won't fit. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment
