This first bit is for DSLR owners considering this case. I talk basics about the case further down.
I ordered this case to hold my Canon T2i (550D) DSLR camera. Sure, the camera fits fine without a lens on the body, laying down screen side. And you can fit at least two small lenses in next to it. But the case is a bit too tight for my taste with the T2i resting on its bottom, which I'd like to do so I can store it with a lens attached. It also is too small to fit both the camera and the reasonably small Rode Videomic I bought to go with it.
I've used Pelican cases like this in my videography work quite a bit and this one matches up to others I've seen. It's a tough case, supposedly water-tight - but not resistant to heat according to the owner's guide that comes with it. The latches are a bit stiff on these cases but I love that it comes with pre-punched foam so you can easily fit whatever odd-sized object in snugly. Be sure to read the tips that come with it about using chalk or toothpicks to spot out the shape you want to cut out.
The bottom line is that I'm probably going to keep this one to carry other, smaller equipment. I shouldn't have any problem finding a use for it. But if I was Goldilocks, this would not be the case that is "just right".Get more detail about Pelican 1200 Case w/Foam (Black).
