Zing Designs Large SLR Reversible Camera Cover (Blue)

Comments about Zing Designs Large SLR Reversible Camera Cover (Blue):

I have a Sony A580 coupled with a Zeiss 16-80 lens that I wanted a weather-proof cover for as I always like having the camera slung around my neck when I'm hiking for easy accessibility.
Often I still like to have my camera out even in light rain or when hiking through bushy sections. I figured this cover would help protect my camera/ lens in such situations.
I'd consider the A580 to be a medium sized DSLR and my lens is only 3 5/8" long and fairly narrow using a 62mm filter thread. I ordered the large size on the advice of another reviewer and even find the large size to be a bit on the small side as it fits quite snugly.
I find it easier to take off the zing than to put back on due to it being so snug; almost to the point that I think twice about bothering to take a shot. I'm making a point of leaving the Zing cover on when not in use in hopes that over time it will stretch out a bit.
In spite of this it's still a great design and is well made. If nothing else, it will serve me well just for safe camera storage in my backpack.
If you order this cover, dont bother with any size smaller than large unless you are using a mirrorless camera.

This cover is great because it protects my camera without being bulky. It just covers it to protect from shock, dust or light drizzle. I think if it had a way to attach to the camera strap without being in the way while using the camera it would be flawless.

I needed a bag to fit inside a waist pack camera, and wanted something easy to get in and out of that keeps moisture out. The fit is great and very adaptable for differnt size lenses and cameras. I use it with my waist pack and without when I just need to throw it in a bag. Not having to deal with zippers and buckles makes it so easy to use.

If you harken back to the old SLR days with the built in leather cases to protect your camera, this is for you. It's light and convenient and keeps my camera with 18-55 clean in my bag. It is quick to remove and hang from the strap, take pictures, and slip back on.

I got this for my new Panasonic G2. I wanted something that would protect the camera but would not be rigid or bulky so I could throw the camera into my backpack and have it be protected but not take up a lot of room. I also wanted it to be easy to access the camera but not worry about losing the case. I think this case satisfies all those requirements and I am happy with it.

The case comes completely off the camera, so I have access to the LCD and all switches, but remains hooked to the strap with a short tether. It's out of the way, but I won't lose it. It's light, soft, and flexible, yet I think that with a sensible degree of caution, I'll be able to toss the camera in my bag without worrying.

Purchased as an alternative to the traditional camera case when traveling with other bags. Pads the camera and reduces bulk in my carry on luggage, and also fits inside a day pack. At first, not as quick to remove as the old "Ever ready" cases, but easy enough after a few tries. Fits the XSi with kit lens well. Lightweight and protective.

The design idea behind the Zing covers s great. It is very easy to access the camera, especially since there are no buttons...

however, if you intend to buy it for your DSLR (my case) be aware that it will not fit perfectly. My impression is that the covers are designed for older SLR cameras that have the lens on the central axis of the camera body.

Still, I am very happy with my cover...the most ingenious I have found to date.

I like the cover alot but It would have been a much better product if it was designed to be taken on & off easier. and with a hole in the bottom for the sling hook. This is alittle tight for the 18-200 lins the seven in . I think would have been a better choice. Of which I plan to purchase in the future,

This is a great buy for those who want the smallest case possible. It allows you to carry your camera in whatever bag you want and still have it protected. It can be a little confusing as to how to put it on at first, but after a while you get the hang of it. I never want to carry a big camera bag, but wanted to have my camera protected, this little case does this really well.

I bought this cover to protect my camera from bumps etc while traveling. It is a great design, and it does work. One consideration however: the size descriptions are not accurate. I even went to the manufacturers website to confirm this size (I have a Nikon D80 with the 18-70 kit lens), but when I received the item, it is a struggle to fit it over the lens. I'm not sure if I will actually use it or not. If in doubt, buy one size bigger, especially in regards to lens legnth.

Sometimes I just want to toss my camera inside my purse or tote bag, and this cover protects it very nicely. It's also great because it's light enough to leave attached to the camera while shooting.
