2.0 out of 5 stars Good quality materials, but poor design, December 16, 2003

This review is from: Canon PSC-60 Deluxe Soft Compact Case for Canon A530, A540, A550, A560, A570IS, A610, A620, A630, A640, A700, A710 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

I just recently got a Powershot A80, which I love. I got the PSC-60 case sight unseen since it seemed like a nice complement for the camera. The quality of materials is good, but the design seems simplistic and minimalist to the extreme. A few complaints:
-My A80 fits in the case, but it's pretty snug, and there is only room for one extra compact flash card, no room for extra batteries even without the extra compact flash card.
-The flap closes nicely with a large area of velcro, but the case is open at the sides around the top 1/2 inch or so, so this case is far from weatherproof, and wouldn't be suitable even for shielding the camera from debris.
-The case has no handles/straps/etc., and no way to attach one. There is the belt clip on the back, but it's not releasable so you truly have to thread a belt through it.
-With the camera and a compact flash card in the case, and with the flap closed, the case is actually thicker (maybe 3 inches) than it is wide, which both looks and feels awkward.
-Padding on the case is pretty thin, so I would not recommend trusting this to protect the camera from anything other than some light bumps... it would not give adequate protection from a fall.

I moved on to a Lowepro MX10 (which is now called the Lowepro D-Res 10 AW). For about the same money as the Canon case, I get:
-a reclosable belt loop (with strong velco attachment)
-removable neck strap
-soft tricot lining (no scratched LCDs with this case)
-room for an extra compact flash card (a bit tight with a CF plastic cover, perfect fit with just the card)
-room for 4 extra AA batteries, even with the extra compact flash card in the case as well
-a weatherproof and durable fabric
-wide top-opening full zipper top
-reasonably thick padding
Overall, the Lowepro bag looks like it was made for the Powershot A80 (and presumably the A70 and A60 as well), the camera fits just a little loosely by itself, but perfectly with 4 extra AA batteries and a spare compact flash card.

I can't say anything negative about my Canon camera, I love it. The PSC-60 case, however, leaves a lot to be desired, and much better options exist out there. I highly recommend the Lowepro case.

This review is from: Canon PSC-60 Deluxe Soft Compact Case for Canon A530, A540, A550, A560, A570IS, A610, A620, A630, A640, A700, A710 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

I bought this case for my A80. I did not want something that was waterproof, big, fancy or that had a bunch of extra features. I just wanted a simple case that would protect the camera when traveling and storing. It accomplishes these objectives perfectly.

I like the fact that the belt loop is sewed into the case. When I am at a race or amusement park, I want the assurance that there is no way the camera will come off my belt unless it completely breaks.

The inside of the case is soft and the outside is a water repellant-type material with a large velcro "snap".

You can't see it from the picture, but once opened, the case features a web-like pouch for batteries or a CF card. It will not hold both, but all I care about is batteries since I do not carry a spare CF card.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this case for the price I paid for it. It does what I want in an efficient and compact way. I bought it without seeing it in a store. After receiving it, I would have expected this to have cost around 15-20 dollars. I like it. It's just right.

This review is from: Canon PSC-60 Deluxe Soft Compact Case for Canon A530, A540, A550, A560, A570IS, A610, A620, A630, A640, A700, A710 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

This is a nice case, protects the camera well, but I wish there were a few more features. It has a belt loop, but I think a clip would have been nicer for those days when you don't wear a belt, or if you'd rather clip it to a pocket or something.

Also, the pouch is only big enough to carry 4 extra batteries OR another compactflash card, but not both. I bought a large CF card, so I guess if I ever use the pouch it will be for batteries.

Besides that, the case looks very good and seems to protect the camera well. My Canon A70 camera fits perfectly inside, as expected.
