Yes, this is perfect fit for Sony DSC-V3Saturday, May 14, 2005
Bought this case for Sony DSC-V3 based on an earlier review. I can vouch that the camera fits perfectly. The case is well constructed of ballistic nylon, and they zippers seem fine to me. Two small pockets - enough for additional memory and another battery or two. Frankly one of the best small camera cases I've come across.

Fits a DSC-V3 perfectly + some small itemsThursday, February 24, 2005
Some of the other reviews here have marked this bag down due to its size, but it fits some Sony cameras very well. Best advice is to check out the fit before you buy. For me, the DSC-V3 sits inside perfectly, without being too tight or too loose. There is no moving around when the case is closed.
There are three compartments to this bag, the bottom front, the top front and the main compartment. The bottom front can hold about 4 AA batteries (either horizontally or vertically), while the top one is a little smaller, perhaps holding memory sticks or flash cards but can also fit 4 AAs. The top one has a small mesh pocket on the inside to prevent the items from slipping out, while the bottom and main compartment have nice "side guards", which come up about 1" on the bottom and 2.5" on the main compartment. These side guards are nice in case your zippers aren't fully closed, to prevent smaller items from slipping out.
The included shoulder strap is pretty worthless, but at least it includes a small strip of padded rubber on the nylon strap. I'd recommend replacing it with the one that came with your camera (if it came with one and you're not using it).
Padding is decent. Best on front and bottom, ok on back and weak at the side zippers, though there a small bit of padding on the side. The back "belt" clip is a snap button which holds pretty well under stress (so far).
Downsides is the quality and noise of the zippers, and not too much of an inner zipper guard for the main compartment so the camera coming out can rub against the plastic teeth.
Overall I am very pleased with this case, especially compared to the other selections out there. Ignore the reviews where the guy wants to put his charger, his connectors, flash, tripods, shooting lamps, assistants and their wives all into this little bag. It's a COMPACT bag that is meant to hold just your camera and a few small items. If you have a V series Sony camera, especially the V3, I highly recommend it.

too small for accessoriesFriday, November 19, 2004
Bought for P100 and was disappointed. Even the main compartment will not hold the battery charger. The two front compartments are too small be of any practical value. For a digital camera you need space for camera, memory stick case, battery charger, connectors to computer and TV and room for the manual would be nice.

NOT for the SONY W1 Digital CameraFriday, August 06, 2004
This case is too Big for the W1 camera. The camera keeps on moving inside the case. I dunno why it is advertized for the W1 model!!!! I think if you have TWO (or maybe 3) W1 cameras, this case will be a good choice ;) I guess this case was intended for ealier and bigger sony cameras.
I gave this case 2/5 because it is actually a nice case (for other sony models), it can fit all ur extra batteries & memory sticks and it is made of good materials.
