Pros: Easy to carry, comes with extra lens covers
Cons: Failure to completely zip and velcro exposes camera to damage, not worth $25
The Bottom Line: Pick one up if you can get one cheap for registering your camera with Sony. Otherwise, this item is a pass.

| enabledcookie's Full Review: Sony Camera SJK-P71 Cyber-shot Sport Jacket |
I got this sports jacket (compatible with the DSC-P51/71 Sony Cyber-shot camera) when I registered my camera over the Sony website and got a $20 credit on selected accessories. It's a neat little cover that promises to protect your digital camera in inclement weather. It should be noted that this does not make the camera water-resistant, and you can't, for example, take underwater snapshots.
The thin jacket makes it relatively easy to perform most of the camera's functions, such as changing the flash and picture quality and scrolling through your photo catalog. The jacket also comes with two extra lens coverings so that picture quality won't be compromised in case the included covering gets scratched or damaged.
The one drawback is that care must be taken to properly secure the camera inside the jacket. It seems as though it would be very easy to neglect to tuck in the tabs or zip the case all the way around the camera, and failure to do this could result in damaging your camera irrevocably.
I'm not sure if I would spend the $25 list price for this item, but it was a nice little $5 extra that I picked up for registering the camera on http://www.sony.com.
