MegaGearMG1532 Nikon Coolpix P1000 Ultra Light Neoprene Camera Case - Gray, Compact

I bought this to have some protection when transporting my Nikon P1000.The case fits the camera perfectly and it fits even when you have the lens hood reverse mounted, (i.e. not in use).The neoprene-type material offers better protection than the synthetic type OEM case that I have for my DSLR.Please see the photo of their card included with the product. They are not offering something super-complicated but it was well packaged, mostly in paper not plastic, good for the planet. They are selling something which does the job, does it well and is a reasonable price in my opinion compared to the alternatives.I rarely write a review unless I think a product is especially bad or especially merits highlighting for 'doing what it says on the tin' and doing that very well. In this case, I also took the time to photograph and write the review for another reason. The company asked politely and with humility, at least in my opinion if the buyer liked the product whether they would leave a review.In the last decade or so we have all become use self-promotion from companies and individuals who are almost pathologically un-self-aware. Most of us are fed up of being told to 'like and subscribe'. What this company, (Megagear) wrote is instructive.First and foremost.Thanks.Then that they appreciate the business and the they hope the product is appreciated.Finally that the feedback of whatever type is greatly appreciated and they ask you to provide it on Amazon and if you are unhappy in any way, to e-mail them directly.It was a well structured appeal which resulted in a time-poor person like myself responding.As my French colleagues would say, 'Chapeau! Megagear'.

This camera is quite heavy so I decided to buy a case rather than carry around my neck. This soft case is perfect and while not recommended it does allow me to attach to my trouser belt. It would be perfect if the inside or outside had a couple of belt hoops. The camera fits comfy and secure with Velcro type fastening - it can accommodate the glare guard when inverted. I would buy just as a protective soft cover in case of need when out and it rains. Excellent value for money, It arrived with a thank you card for purchasing and a reminder to write a review hence here I am - nice touch

I wanted to start by thanking Amazon reviewer "June, Essex" had it not been for your review, I would never of brought this camera holster. Its fits perfectly for my Nikon COOLPIX P950, meaning I have plenty of all round protection, how on earth will this pouch fit the much larger P1000 is only anyone's guess. It comes with excellent original packaging perhaps a bit over the top. Overall I'm very pleased, I use a normal backpack rather than a camera backpack, so this neoprene case protects my camera from damage from other bits and pieces in my backpack.

With the large lens on the P1000 which you say the case is made for but not as I use it. (I will explain)I find the camera is best used on a tri pod or mono pod due to the weight of the lens, so I have the quick release holder for the tripod always screwed to the camera to save time. But find the top of the case is not made to accommodate the camera with the quick release holder fitted.So the lid of the case does not close correctly which is sad for the overall quality of the case.

Unfortunately the back flap isn't long enough and leaves the camera exposed to the elements as it's facing upwards when carrying.One quick downpour and your camera is ruined.This could be remedied by a slight modification in design taking into account the eyepiece and flash which the case has to stretch over.It will protect your camera from scratches and slight knocks.
