Reddit mentions of Case Logic SLRC-201 SLR Zoom Holster (Black)

I kept my dslr in my backpack (camera friendly) with no issue. Other days I would keep it in a small dslr shoulder bag. I had no issues with either and we took it on a variety of rides.

Depends on your gear. When taking my DSLR I will just take a minimal case (like this), and throw it in my pack. I'll use a sling strap if I want to have my DSLR at the ready while hiking.

It may be time to review your gear selection. Do you NEED an additional lens? Are you trying to go longer? wider? faster? DO you NEED your dslr?

I take my Canon EOS-M (mirrorless) APS-C sensor camera when I go hiking. My EOS-M kit - with a table top tripod, two lenses, carrying case, extra batteries, wireless shutter release - weighed half of what my DSLR/lens weighed.

Case Logic SLRC-201 is a great holster for SLR w/zoom that both the wife and I use for carrying cameras with walk around zoom lenses for travel protection. I have several of the SLRC holsters, bags and back packs that we use for all different travel situations. We have the 201, 202, 203, 205 and 206 versions. Only the 206 is currently without a camera in it, but I carried it for two weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii and it was great. The 203 has a 1000D and 4 lenses, batteries and chargers in it in the truck at all times. We each have a 201 for a 60D and 7D either sporting a canon 18-200 or a tamron 28-300 and a filter stack dropped in the bottom of the pouch. These are great small cases.

I got the T3i for under 600$, new, with a few semi-useful accessories. Amazon has a few deals that allow for some acc. equip. that can be useful, but is really just another selling point. These deals are usually from vendors like Photo4Less (who I got mine from, great shipping, got it within 4 days), but Canon has a good price too. This is a good DSLR, compared to many other video cameras you may have (eg- gopro, other small video-only cameras).

Image Quality

The quality of the video and photos I was able to get after a few days was fantastic. Here are some pics I took with the T3i on day 2. DAY 2!!!!!( I was still recovering from Wisdom teeth surgery. This thing shoots in about 4K+ still images, so you won't be wanting for pixels, only for less noise. Keep your ISO down to 100 or so, and you'll usually be fine. Some of my pics have lots of noise, that's because I was still learning about what makes exposure work for the first few weeks.

Video

This playlist shows the versatility of this camera, from low-light (car light) situations to good lighting (slender video) to having a friend who doesn't shoot DSLR control it (ALS video) [I should also mention that there was a bit of post-production stabilization, but that Image stabilizer is really powerful all the same], and the flip out screen speaks for itself.

Screen, Youtube use, and other camera choices

The flip-out screen is immensely single-user friendly, and allows for a great range of artistic control and frame control, when used as a facecam.

Keep in mind that it doesn't really shoot long videos too well, it stops at about 11 minutes on 1080p, but I doubt that it really should be used for that. If you need a camera to sit in one place for a long time, invest in a gopro or just use your notebook's webcam.

If you are looking to shoot something artistic, this 11 minute video limit won't be a problem, your shots shouldn't be that long.



Audio

The audio is good. Audition picked up a few persistent high-range whines, but it's not too noticeable, provided you fade it out well or don't use it's audio interchanged between a dedicated microphone (say, a blue snowball). If you've got the budget, get a RODE mic or a decent lavalier mic.

WARNINGS

Learn about ISO, Exposure, Aperture, etc. Knowing is half the battle

No build quality issues as of yet, but keep it out of the rain just in case. Not waterproof, so I hear

BUY 2 MORE BATTERIES AND A CHARGER if you plan on doing video shoots. I have a total of 3 batteries, and 2 chargers, for only 20$ above the normal cost (third party, can't think of brand) of the camera.

Buy a nice case. Here is the one I got, and it's smexy as hell.

a 64GB Memory card can't hurt, and I've got one left over from Gopro usage (microSD+adaptor will work)

I hope this review was helpful. If you want to see more informed or otherwise content (and eventually a review of the t3i then please check out my youtube channel if you wish. I post a bunch of stuff, and have about 7000 views. Leave some feedback, i'm still finding my niche.

Thanks for reading,

Hi guys, I am not sure whether this is a good place to post this, so please feel free to delete if it violates the rules.

I am looking to upgrade from a Canon T3 to a smaller, potentially mirrorless, camera. I would like to sell my T3 + gear and use that cash toward the new camera.

What is a reasonable price to ask for this stuff:

Thanks!

I recommend this, has a waterproof bottom, and has a hammock system to hold your camera. Only I would be worried is the size of your lens camera combo fitting it. I fit a 20d gripped with 18-55 plus 50f1.8 in that case. So I think it might fit your kit also.
