1.0 out of 5 stars Buy something else, January 28, 2002

This case is waaay overpriced at ... . It looks like something you'd see - but pass on - for ... at Wal-Mart. The leather is thin and padding virtually nonexistent. It does not completely cover the camera. And the closure is a huge piece of velcro which makes quite an obnoxious noise everytime you open it up. My advice is to buy something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars basic protection, perfect fit, quick & easy access to camera, December 9, 2003

the psc30 is a very nice case that does its primary mission well - protect your s30/s40/s45/s50 from everyday wear and tear in a package that is light and compact.

pros:
- protects from everyday wear and tear without adding bulk or weight to your camera/case package.
- designed specifically for the canon s-series so it's a perfect fit.
- very quick and easy access: using this case's belt loop, it's a two second operation to flick open the velcro cover and fish the camera out.
- reasonable priced - in the ballpark of generics.

cons:
- does not have enough padding/protection: from all the reviews i've read, this is one of two main complaints. i have to agree; this case won't protect your camera if you drop it, but it wasn't designed to do that. if you want more padding (but with more bulk), you'll have to look elsewhere.
- no extra pockets for CF cards or spare batteries: this is the other main complaint, and again, this is true. while this is an issue for some, it isn't for me because i was looking for the smallest case i could find. adding more pockets means more bulk. besides, i bought a 512MB card and for me, that's enough storage capacity that i don't need a spare CF card. a spare battery, if i felt i needed it for that day's activities, will sit in my pocket.

i like this case. i accept the "cons" i listed as a necessary trade-off to what i was really after: the smallest, lightest case for my s50. it really depends on what you want to use this case for. if you need more protection or more storage, pass on this case. if you're looking for a simple case that offers everyday protection, a perfect fit, and allows quick and easy access to your camera, this is the one.

i hope this helps you with your buying decision. peace.

1.0 out of 5 stars lousy case, worth about $5 - SHOULD BE NO STARS!, February 11, 2002

I wish I had read the reviews first before ordering this. It is a terrible case. I thought there would be cushioning of some sort and a small pocket to store CF cards or a spare battery, but it basically only makes the camera bulkier. I plan to return it and root around in my old camera equipment for something that fits.
