Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing this camera and want to know of any cases that will fit this camera snugly. I'm open to any case: Bino / waist cases etc ..

I only want to carry the camera in the case, that's it. The Sony cases are too expensive for my budget right now and I'm looking for 3rd party cases like Lowepro.

I shall probably purchase a Sony case at a later date.

My location is: Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Thanks,

The case i just got today is the M-Rock "Cascade" case...This case fits the F717 perfectly on its side as shown. The case also has a front pocket for other stuff like filters, memory sticks and also pockets inside the bag and on the inside of the cover. The case has firm foam padding and is of very high quality...It also includes a separate nylon fabric bag to keep the contents extra clean and dry if you feel the need which is connected to the case with a nylon cord...i cut off the cord since i didn't feel a need for this extra bag being connected to the case but i may still use the bag for what ever...Someone else here uses the M-Rock "Appalachian" case which i also considered but decided on the Cascade since it also fits my binoculars or my mini camcorder very nicely...See the below link to M-Rocks web site...

I was into a future shop a couple of days ago and foung one that I think will hold my 717 verticle for about $35. CDN. I am going to go back with my camera in the near future. If it fits do you want the manifacturer and model.

I recently purchased a Lowepro "Mini-Nova" for my 717. I had originally picked up one of the M-Rock top load "triangular" bags (which are also very nice!), but decided that i wanted something that was just a little larger.

The moveable, velcro'd internal dividers in the Lowe allowed me to tailor the case for my 717 and has plenty of room for accessories. I also looked at the "Nova1" as it was recommended by other 7x7 users on the forum, but it was a little larger than what I wanted.

I really liked the fact that the Lowepro Nova and M-Rock bags have both zippers and quick release bucckles on the top flap. When I'm using my camera, I fasten only the quick release buckle, so I can quickly take the camera in an out of the bag.

Just went to future shop.ca and found the camera case I mentioned earlier. It is the "lowepro top load zoom 1" and priced at $29.99 CDN. You can see it on their site mentioned above or drop into one of their stores. I like the touchie-feelie so I will be chacking out their local store.

i have been searching for a case for my 717 and finally got one from case logic. it is not a 'digital camera' case, it is under the 'camcorder' category.

but guest what, it is a best fit for the 717. very thick padding, many rooms for extra battery and filters in the front pockets and memory sticks under the cover... and yet the case is still very compact...

and good price cad$40 ($us25)... you can find it in many online store or your local sony store.

I just added a fanny pack to my list of accessories. Nice when you don't need anything but the camera.

I bought my Lowepro TLZ mini at London Drugs for $26. Canadian$. It fits the 717 perfectly facing lense down. The Lowepro zoom 1 is too big for this camera. The mini has a pocket in the top for mem sticks and a small front pocket for a spare battery or a couple of filters. Couldn't be better if Sony had made it!

Have Fun! Pete D.
Hi all,

Thanks for all your helpful replies. Much appreciated.

I find a lunch bag at the cost of $12 Canadian good enough. It has an extra small compartment for the charger plus some pockets for memory sticks and other small items. It is padded (moderately) and insulated for weather. On top of that, it does not look like a camera bag to attract unwanted attention.
