1.0 out of 5 stars Poor choice for the Powershot S1, July 13, 2004

This review is from: Canon PSC-70 Deluxe Soft Camera Case for the Powershot S1 IS & G6 (Electronics)

While this carrying case might have been designed specifically for the Powershot S1 in mind, it is a VERY poor choice for the following reasons
- It is difficult to open and close. There is a zippered left and right side which goes down about 2-3 inches. The top flap closes with velcro. It therefore takes three movements to open the bag. An awkward and timeconsuming process.
- There is no space to keep a spare set of batteries, the minimum accessories a person would want to keep along with their camera. There is an inside pocket for memory cards. But I find that one card is all that fits easily. Any more, and the camera case will bulge.

This is designed for the fashion concious and trendy crowd who want the Canon logo on their camera case. It is not a practical carrying case. The least I would have expected is for Canon to design a concelable strap for this case. Instead, there is a belt loop which is pretty much useless as this camera is a little too bulky for you to put around your belt loop. And it seems certain to distort the shape of your belt. Do think twice about this purchase.

I am still looking for another case for my Powershot S1. I see a Targus Digital Camera Max case for under five bucks on Amazon and think I will get that instead. If you have alternate suggestions, do add them, for the benefit of other folks, right here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Alternate to PSC-70, July 19, 2004

I've heard other negative comments about the size case and found the Tamrac 5693 fits the Canon S1, and looks a lot better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for G6, January 29, 2005

I bought this case yesterday for my Canon G6. G6 takes good pictures. However, perhaps because of the poor design of the power switch on the camera, together with the design and the size of this case (a little too small for G6), the power switch was easily activated accidently when I used this case. In about 50% of my dozens of testing puting the camera in and taking it our from the case, the power switch was activated. Even if you put the camera in without accidently turning the power on, there is still a high chance that the camera be turned on accidently while you are carrying it because the case is thin. It's not easy for me to just return it because I bought it via mail order. If I were to do it over again, I'll forget about the pretty look of this case and go for a different one that is practically more user friendly. It's not for G6.
