Advantages: Durable, quality materials and serious padding Disadvantages: Only protects from light rain
Having spent £££ on a Sony digicam, I was a bit surprised that it didn't come with a case to protect my investment. So, about three months ago I bought the LCS-VA5 case for £39 from a supplier link on Ciao.
This compact case is made of high quality materials and provides solid padding all round. The main compartment is semi-rigid with adjustable dividers to accomodate different sizes of camcorder. There are zipped compartments on the front and sides giving plenty of space for a charger, spare batteries, spare tapes, etc. It also has a 'hidden compartment' at the bottom which adds to the padding if not being used. It has a large, padded carry strap and metal clips and zips which adds to its feeling of quality.
This was the only Sonycase I could fit all my accessories into, including extra-life batteries and the power lead. It ...

With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with a 97p tag on it. I asked the assistant if it was indeed 97p and so it was... I imediately bought it. I later found out that the price of this bag usually varies between £10-£15, currently on amazon is around £13 so I can consider myself quite lucky and happy of the amazing deal.

So let's see some details, first of all the size: approximately 17 x 11 x 10cm. The material ...
Advantages: It can hold a very good charge Disadvantages: None
In the past two years I have bought 4 of these batteries.
I love these batteries because Sony have made most of their camcorders compatible with this battery. This meant that when I got my new camcorder for Christmas this year I was then able to transfer my old battery for a back-up.
I have bought so many of these batteries because I do a lot of sightseeing. I have also choose this battery over any other because it holds an extremely good charge. I had came across times when I was standing in front of a beautiful landmark and I had no battery charge.
After that experience any holidays, or events I got to I always bring at least one spare, charged battery as well as my own.
I have never had any problems with these batteries and I only have good things to say about them.
The battery can be purchased for around 15-20 pounds and this is ...
