What's the best way to put the FZ200 into this carrying case?

I believe the case is designed to have the camera placed lens down with the 2 Velcro spacers situated flush on each side of the lens barrel and attached to the front and back inside of the case at the bottom.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

I would put the camera lens up towards the opening this way you have a flat surface supporting the flat "display" portion of the camera.

I put it in Lens facing down but it can go in lens up if you prefer. I would rather not pull on the lens.

I'm using a CaseLogic SLDC-202, which I purchased from Amazon. Besides the camera, I can also carry (in a second zippered compartment) the battery charger and a spare battery. It's a nice looking case.

Yes, I got a bag that fits the bike inside it. You have to fold it up and loosen the seat post, fold the pedals and it will fit in the carry case. Takes some practice but it will work and the bag folds in on itself so you can carry it in your backpack or whatever or store it until you need to carry your bike in the bag.

I have a road bike (Orbea Bronze #53) and I have to remove the saddle, wheels and handle bar. Although the case closes with the pedals still in the bike, I remove than as well because I feel that the shipping and handling of the case by an airline may damage it.There's enough room in the case for saddle bag, helmet, shoes, other bottles and some other accessories.

Nop... you cant but it is not a problem at all... the main problem with this case (although I love it) is that it is rally hard to pack. Good luck

I just keep it in the original case bag/case that it came in. It just sits in a drawer when I'm not using it.

I think it may be too small. I ended up returning it as my fixed zoom fz200 did not fit in there.

I use it for my Canons, SX260 and 280: Wouldn't use it for my FZ200... And I never use it in "tripod" mode as I found that less useful than another mini trip I have, but the strap makes this thing excellent for a lot of situations where nothing else would do! But I wouldn't put anything other than a pocket camera on it.

On e*b*a*y search gf1 leather case. There is one that fits on your belt with the 20mm lens. Looks interesting.

I'm using the same Raynox with my fz200 with good results. It comes with the necessary thread adapters. It would be good if I could get mine to work with the adapter tube as well for extra support, but the Panasonic original adapter tube has a ridge inside towards the back that interferes. It just won't fit. I've considered trying the cheaper "knock-off" adapter tube that I've seen available, but haven't tried that yet. Meanwhile, I just make sure to give extra support by the way I hold the camera and lens when shooting. Luckily, the Raynox converter is quite light weight.

I just rec'd this item. In the box: Camera unit battery battery charger AV cable USB Connection cable Lens cap Lens cap string Shoulder strap Lens hood Lens hood adapter Basic operating instructions manual Instructional CD-ROM Software CD Please note that if you scroll thru the rest of the discussions about the FZ35 on this forum, they will answer most of your questions

Yes, you can. Please see my review for detailed info on using this with the FZ-200, and what to expect.

Gabor,Yes it will work with the FZ200. It snaps on so it will fit any lens from 49mm to 67mm. I have the FZ150 and it works perfectly. The lens is very good, especially for the price. If you use it with a teleconverter long lens you will need to use a focusing rail to keep the image steady.Rich

Go to a good camera store and try out a few different models. I like a case that slides onto my belt, has some padding or cushioning, and a pocket for an extra battery, an extra SD card, and a cleaning kit. If a case is too tight, and the lens accidentally opens inside the case, the lens drive can be damaged. A loose fitting case with padding and cushioning is the safest.

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

Screw the pices that have threds on them, they form the handle, push the plastic locking key thur the only hole it fits into, make sure the blue thing with wheeles, you just screwd the handle into is attached to it. Now take the bag and attach it to the biggest hole on the other blue thing. The only piece you should have left is to attach to the water hose. Its a simple push and release system. Easy peasy. Evey thing is awesome!

Hi lei, we suggest the LCS CSW case for carrying the camera with enough space for an extra battery. Thanks_Mitch
