Hubby found it on the Best Buy website, basically looks like a hard plastic casing for the camera, $60 Canadian, if a remember correctly. Tried to see it but it's available on the web only, they don't carry it in store. We do a lot of hiking and I have a good camera bag but don't like constantly pulling my camera out, putting it away so usually don't really use the bag much. Than being said, I'm a bit of a clutz, and I know it's only a matter of time before I trip and fall and squish the poor thing!

Has anyone used this or at least seen it in person? Does it fit over all lenses? Worth the cost?

Thanks in advance!

It's available on EBay from a responsive seller that had good feedback - bought one for $40. Absolutely LOVE it. It has kept my camera in 'NEW' condition despite beach sand, rocky hikes, etc. Fits perfectly - very well designed!

Missed one of your questions - You put it on with your lens removed / body cap on. After that you can change lenses easily, & reach the battery. I rarely remove it.

I had it on my Nikon D70 and D70s when I was shooting Nikon and it is awesome stuff. I highly recommend it.

Thank you both very much for the info! Looks like I'm going to have to check it out.
