as with all Lowepro case they be rugged and almost indistructable . some of the best think out case on the market . but in this case why not suggest that shopper look and the line that Lowepro actually have create for Digital Cameras . they have a series of about a half dozen case specially design to be use with digital camera . the Nova Mini be a great bag but the d-res-50 be better , have soft inside so that you lcd display will not get scratch from the inside material , they have little velcro devider to that you can adjust the bag to fit the size of you camera and even little pocket inside that be design to accomodate digital camera accessory like extra memory card and extra battery . they even have a hidden rain jacket to protect you electronic equipment from the element . the hard ware on the d-re case be make of metal instead of plastic makee they not just practical but design to last through the age . and like all lowepro case it carry a lifetime warranty . the d-re 50 be the middle bag that Lowepro make for digital camera they have one that be half the thickness that will work with most digital camera also and two smaller than that if you really want a compact case for you little digital camera . I do not think that the Nova Mini be a bad bag quite the contrary , it be great and cheaper than the d-re series but I do feel it lack some of the greatest part of the d-re series and thus why I would rather see you suggest the d-re series of bag for digital customer .
