Camera bag for FZ5

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.zlr (More info?)

I just ordered a Panasonic Fz5, after going back and forth about
whether or not I wanted to spend the big bucks for a Nikon D50 w/2
lenses and then spend the rest of the time hauling it around. After
reading a load of positive reviews on the FZ5, I went to Fry's to
physically pick the thing up and was sold on how light and small it
was. My aspirations to own a Nikon D50 are for at least now cast aside.

Now I want a camera bag, but I don't have the camera yet to compare it
to. Would anyone who has the FZ5 be willing to take a look at this one
and let me know if it would fit the Fz5, lense, hood, and all? I'm
trying to get outfitted before my vacation in a week and a half, so I
don't have a lot of time to lose. Here's the the bag I saw:

Any recommendations for a similar bag would also be great. I don't want
to carry around a full-sized camera bag; I'm looking for something more
akin to a case. Thanks so much.

I have the Lowepro Edit 110, nicely made, smallest I found with perfect
fit for camera and lens hood, with a few pockets for extra cards/batteries.

cheers

I found a FZ-dedicated bag on line that I ordered. If that doesn't work
out, Sears sounds like it might be a good place to look. I'm a big
Sears fan. Thanks!
