Comments about Kata CC-196 GDC HDV Case:
I bought 4 of these for Sony EX-3 cameras. They are the perfect fit for the camera and extra accessories. Two of my EX-3s have the Bebob battery attachment on the camera and it still fits. I like the ruggedness and sturdiness of the case, while maintaining a soft interior. I have a peace of mind know that my crews have this case to toss the camera in at the end of the day instead of trying to cram into a smaller case or no case at all.

Comments about Kata CC-196 GDC HDV Case:
Works great for the Sony HXR-MC2000U Shoulder Mount AVCHD Video Camera. Plenty of room. You don't have to strip the camera down before putting it in and there's room for extra gear. It would be overkill for some if you don't have extra gear.

Comments about Kata CC-196 GDC HDV Case:
I use this for my Canon XLH1 and everything fits very well with room for lots of extra stuff like batteries, charger, cables and more.
My XLH1 camera fits even with the Matte Box attached and I find that quite convenient.
It's easy to arrange and rearrange the compartments to suit your needs.
It's very tough outside yet smooth enough that if you toss it in the back seat of your car you wont tear up your upholstery and very soft inside so I feel my camera is quite safe when packed inside.
It looks great too; Very professional inside and out.
I also bought the smaller version... the Kata CC-192 GDC HDV Case for my Canon XHA1 and I am just as pleased with it also.
The only thing that would make it any better would be to get someone to carry it for you :)
Bottom Line… I Love It,
