Case Logic DBC302 Overview

I found this little camera bag from Case Logic at a local store on discount so it seemed like it would be worth making an overview video on. 

The bag!

I could see it being a decent little pack for small digicams and actions cameras. Especially if you are using a larger backpack without padding. You can use this as an added layer of protection.

It seems like this pack was designed in the era of old compact digicams. They are not nearly as popular these days but I can see various types of other gear that would fit.
 
It works well with small digicams like this old Canon PowerShot Digital ELPH S200.

I’d say it’s a good option for most action cameras. With the GoPro 9 and max lens mod attached it was difficult to zip up the compartment, but it works well when that isn’t attached. The secondary compartment can fit one or two average sized camera batteries and a few memory cards.


This GoPro combination barely fits. 

You can take the max lens off and it will fit better. Both the mod with its cover and the GoPro itself fit fine horizontally in the compartment but then you’d have to bring the other lens cover and swap them as needed.

The strap connector is all plastic. I would not trust that with an expensive camera like the Sony RX100 series, assuming they would fit. Alternatively there is a securely attached loop strap on the back so you could attach this to various other bags or a belt. 


The back of the bag.

Overall, a decent little camera pack though size drastically limits what you can fit in the main compartment.

Here’s the full transcript from the related video:

The Case Logic DCB 302.
Very small camera pack, whatever you want to call it!
Is there any important information on here? Not really…
Has two zipper compartments, a bit of orange.
The rubber surrounding the zipper is super flexible.
Let’s check out the first one.
Inside here a little slot for memory cards probably fit a battery in there pretty easily.
Here’s a LP-E17 from Canon.
Two LP-E17s… that works out!
You could easily fit quite a few memory cards in this little slot.
Strap is plastic and this Loop here is also plastic honestly I would not trust this thing with a decently expensive camera inside there.
There isn’t a ton of room for a camera.
I have this old Canon PowerShot S200 Digital ELPH.
Something like that works perfectly in here.
Also a GoPro, I do have the max lens mod on here which makes it not fit amazingly well.
It does work…
I can see this being a good pack for action cameras.
Another option is a very compact lens.
Put it in there for a little bit of added protection.
So height is going to be a definite issue with this bag.
Overall a neat little pack.
It’s going to be very situational depending on if your stuff will fit or not.
You can put anything, it doesn’t have to be a camera just needs to be small enough to work with something like this.
Build quality seems fine to me.
Yeah, I like it! It’s pretty cool.
That was a look at the Case Logic DCB302 in black.

First look at the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 for Sony E-mount bought from KEH

I've use a Sony Alpha A6000 and the PZ 16–50mm F/3.5–5.6 OSS kit lens with my computer as a webcam for a long time now. It's a lower cost option that has been very consistent outputting 1080p at 30 FPS to a USB based HDMI capture device. The kit lens is generally fine, but it has a few quirks. The biggest issue is that throughout the zoom range the maximum aperture value is not fixed. This introduces technical challenges when I want to show detailed views of product or similar use cases. There are also other considerations I'll talk about later in this article. So I decided to buy the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C lens in E-mount as a replacement.  Links in this article are a mix of paid and through my affiliates. I earn from each in different ways.

Camera Gear Reviews and Marketing Issues Exposed

A great overview by Gerald Undone on his experiences in the field of camera gear related videos! It is an important topic. The more open the better, I’d say. After over 13 years making photography and videography gear videos, I’ve not had a huge amount of success comparatively, but I’ve also never been especially brand safe to begin with for these companies to consider me. 🤣 I think his mentions toward the end of the video are especially important. The unwritten pressure, or worse with companies like Insta360 , shouldn’t be acceptable and should be publicly called out more often. That’s probably the only way things will actually change for the better. I created a video detailing my opinion on the topic further: More of my comments on the video… His YouTube channel. 4:30 I understand that’s what Gerald does, but are there situations where companies are paying for flights and hotel costs of other reviewers with the expectation of a video/article being produced? (EDIT: I’ve seen confirm...

Canon M6 Mark II HDMI & 10-bit Output?

I’m writing all of this down as in case sources disappear and I want to reference M6ii HDMI-out information in the future.  So this is not by any means a definitive source but rather a jumble of information I’m putting together in the moment. The “HDMI info disp” setting to select clean output mode. There is one webpage I know about that mentioned the Canon EOS M6 Mark II supports clean HDMI output in 10-bit 4:2:2. I don’t think the page exists any longer on Canon USA’s website because the old link no longer works after a redesign. https://youtu.be/_UT9u0XVn5U However it does currently exist on the Internet Archive . Here’s the important quote from that webpage:  HDMI recording: Menu-selected user choices for HDMI output with info (images recorded to the SD card); Clean 4K output, or Clean Full HD output. With clean output, compatible HDMI recorders can be connected with appropriate HDMI cords. During Clean HDMI out, video is not recorded to an in-camera SD card. With compatib...
