The Sony LCS-ELC7 is the ultimate case for the award-winning Sony NEX-7. Designed exclusively for the NEX-7 in high quality genuine leather, this case provides both function and style. The body case can be left permanently attached to the camera for enhanced protection and grip, whilst the top cover detaches easily for quick access to your camera. Give your camera and lens the protection they deserve.
Having spent nearest part of £1000 on the NEX7 as an upgrade from the NEX 5 you have to go the extra mile for the proper case for it. Despite being hugely annoyed by the extortionate cost for Sony accessories I went ahead and bought this.
As you would expect of a genuine Sony accessory quality is excellent, fits the camera snugly. For anyone else like me upgrading models it does end up quite a bit larger than the NEX 5 in its companion Sony case, still ok for carrying round on a day out though in your hand.
The two parts though common to these cases are a pain for camera in and out action but I accept this for the benefits of a tailored case for transit and storing the camera in. I can happily let it roll around in a back pack in this case.
I've seen a few immitations of these spring up for a lot less. Personally I'd never bother with one, materials, fit and the snobby knowledge at the back of my mind that I'd gone cheap on it all put me off!
Overall great case for the camera. Would be a more pleasant buy if Sony did'nt take you to town on the price but doubt anything will change there.
Ok its expensive especially when you compare it to the NEX 3, 5 case, but as some one else also commented; for your NEX 7 is worth protecting. The case suitably has room for the standard kit zoom lens including additional added filter. Four stars as I think its over prices. When I bought it, it seemed to be going up on a daily basis from Amazon, this supplier was nearly the original price. All in all its a good product.
As the new owner of an NEX-7 you want to have it looking its best. If so then I guess only the official case will do, however it is pricey. Took a while to convince the wife this was an essential purchase.
Often I like to just sling the camera in the back seat of the car not wanting to take the my camera bag and all its contents. On those occasions this case is ideal as it gives the camera a great deal of protection in case I brake too hard.
It is a quality item and I am glad I have it but I don't think I have paid as much for a case before even for my Leica.
