Studio Daily has posted a review of a new camera case, the Petrol Camporter.  The reviewer, Douglas Spotted Eagle, used the case for transporting his Sony HVR-Z1U, but the bag is designed for all cameras of comparable size (including the DVX, HVX, PD-170, etc.).  I own one of Petrol's U-bags for my own tripod, and I can attest that it held up very well on a particularly rough shoot in the Amazon jungle last year.  Many of Petrol's offerings are semi-rigid bags that effectively give you the best of both worlds: they protect your equipment like a hard-shell case, but are portable and lightweight like a softer bag (in my case, I didn't want to buy one of each, and the Petrol was a sound compromise).  Unfortunately I can't offer much praise for the company's Rain Covers, which I found to be entirely too difficult to manage (then again, the jungle is a fairly tough testing ground).  Eagle finds himself wishing for more straps for accessories, but loves the size of the case and the two-compartment design.
