Protection for the camera, small operation complication

After the strap and the lens removed (and, I would recommend the housing cover BF-1B placed) has, the sheath can easily draw from above the camera. Then something align - done. The procedure takes less than one minute and going in the opposite direction (removing the cover) easily.

Initially, the camera seemed suddenly uncomfortable great before, because the shell but aufdickt something - anything for very small hands! But you get used to it quickly.

In fact, all functions can be operated and to get easily to the memory card and the battery and the cable connections. Also can open the flash. The cover of the hot shoe can be pushed into this, so you have to remove it only when you want, for example attach an external flash.

Although all the buttons and dials remain operable, it is more uncomfortable than without cover, either because they are slightly recessed into the casing (eg the front wheel or the Photo / Video switch to the LV-button) or because of air between the casing and switch so you as not a direct "button feel" (eg low and function button on the front). Know your camera in his sleep, probably fewer problems with the last point: the buttons, which are completely covered by the sheath, are difficult to read, because the lettering is not executed in color (the envelope is not printed), but only as deepening. This can be especially in low light virtually nothing recognize (applies, for example, all keys to the left of the screen). Without this shortcoming I would have awarded five stars.

It should be mentioned yet that the shell is easily around the bottom edge around so that the Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D12 initially can not be mounted. Therefore you have to Shorten a little what the protective function but does not detract in this case the shell.

Protecting the camera is certainly good, as it is quite complete "packaged". Also from splashes and dirt protects them, though of course not complete (when there are numerous openings yes). According to the manufacturer can be the shell washing ("Easy Cover can be washed"). I have not tried it, but I think that they can be cleaned under running water. The material (silicon) does not harm the safe.

There are at two alternative transparent display cases for the monitor. One is to stick, the other for clipping in the silicone shell (looks like "Fummelarbeit" from. I have not used this, because the supplied with the camera Monitorschutz BM-12 remains on the monitor.

The "Grip" with shell is good, which is also because they front and rear has a knurled surface in the grip area.

Anyone who wants to protect his camera, makes with EasyCover determined nothing wrong (this is probably for the alternative product Delkrin Snug-it) at a cost of about 1% of the housing price. Wen the disadvantages to very disturbing, their use may indeed be limited to the "hard" cases and otherwise take pictures without it.
