Hello all! I have been researching camera's to suggest to the boss to upgrade from our old SD cams, to new fancy HD ones! After many hours of comparisons (and trying to stay on budget) I have decided to go with the HMC-150! Huzzah!

Well now comes the fun part, finding all the accessories for it. SDHC cards...Tripods...and this topic. Cases!!!

Now I'd like to try to stay below $100 per case. I'd prefer a nice solid aluminum case, or even a Pelican...although those can be quite expensive. Just wondering what everyone here uses for camera case purposes, or if you have any recommendations for one.

Cheers!
 
I used the custom fitted case by Panasonic before I sold my HMC150, though that's well over your budget =/

It was great knowing it could be bumped or sliding in the trunk of the car and the camera was still 100% safe.
 
I currently use a Pelican 1514 for my HMC 150, though it's over your budget.

Combined with the 1519 lid organizer, I'm able to fit a ton of accessories in a very organized way, which I love. The camera itself is a really tight fit. It doesn't fit with a shotgun mount attached, but that isn't an issue for me because I use a hot shoe mount.

It also qualifies as a carry-on.
 
We have two and use soft cases -(Lowe Pro Nova AW200).

Its designed as a SLR camera bag but fits tightly the HMC152 with some extra storage space in the bottom (we put a false floor in it) for mic or extra batteries.

Not a solid hard case for going undercarriage on a plane etc but ideal for carrying around and protecting it in a car etc.

We had one for a our first camera and liked it so much that when we bought our second camera we ordered a second bag from HongKong since local retailers didn't have any at reasonable prices.
 
I Use a Low Pro camera case which is a back pack. Great if you are moving about when working as you can keep everything with you and use your hands, takes my 152 radio mike spare batteries tape the lot. Even comes with its own rain coat. Have used it for about 4 years and love it.
