 poor value -- good for keeping dust off at least...Jul 25, 2004
By S. KING
I bought this case sight unseen and was quite disappointed when it arrived. The material is quite thin and to call it semi-soft is generous, as the case has no real protective value. I could almost mush the thing up and put it in my pocket. A far cry from the Nikon semi-soft cases of old. It has a 1 inch square velcro patch to keep the lid closed. I bought another case (non-Nikon) of much higher quality that fits my D70 perfectly. Look around and you'll find much better cases for 1/2 the price.

A miserable excuse for camera protectionJan 28, 2005
By J. Butler Jr.
The D70 is my first venture into digital cameras. I use a 35mm slr and a 35mm auto-focus rangefinder. Both cameras have cases which hold the camera, and allow you merely to flip open the top half of the case to take a photo.
Not so with the CF-D70 case. All this does is to hold the camera and must be fully removed to take a photograph. I do a lot of outdoor photography and like protection for my cameras while taking a shot. Nikon apparently figures that most users of the camera are going to keep them indoors and not need a true ever-ready case.
A search of the various web sites turned up the fact some photographers in the United Kingdom were using the D100 leather case which is an ever-ready type. Although the D70 is slightly smaller than the D100, I took the change and orderered on. Hopefully this will be the answer. I also purchased a gadget bag type of case to hold the camera and it's accessories, including flash cards, recharger, filter, etc.
I'm hoping everthing is going to work per my plans.

Yes, the case is soft and not very thick. But I find it very useful when walking with just the camera on my shoulder. It helps a lot to protect from banging the camera against the walls, from scratching it or getting it wet accidentaly.
The old cases were rigid, they offered more protection, but they were quite uncomfortable. I often was leaving them at home when travelling lightweight. This case for D70 I take it anywhere. And it has many scratches that otherwise would have been on the camera...
The fact that it can be folded is an advantage! When you are using the camera you can put the case folded in your pocket. This is what I do when I do not carry any large photo bag or backpack.
Bottom line: it is expensive, but I recommend it.

flimsySep 24, 2005
By S. Demirjian
I am used to the ever ready style leather camera cases on my film SLR cameras. This so called case gives no protection except from dust. Save your money and buy an SLR size camera bag instead.

Good for what it was designed to doApr 17, 2006
By abarak
This case is good for a very specific usage, in my mind. You have ANOTHER case to pack all your photo gear, and want some lightweight set you can use going to social event etc.? this case provides a good solution.
This is one of the very few compact cases that allows carrying the camera with shoulder strap attached. The only alternative I'm aware of are the Zing neoprene cases. You can toss these cases aside for a few moments and go shoot with just the camera and shoulder strap. Or you may shove the D70 with this case into your carry on bag for an overnight trip.
If you don't like using the camera with shoulder strap attached, there are many and far better other cases.
I'd recommend it as an addition to a more serious carrying solution, definitely not as a replacement.
Pros: lightweight protection that's easy to quickly remove and leave aside. lets you leave camera's shoulder strap attached.
Cons: medium to low protection to your camera. No pockets for memory card or batteries. Insufficient as a sole solution.
