5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit for a Canon Powershot A80, December 16, 2003

By

This review is from: Lowepro D-Res 10 AW Digital Camera Bag (Electronics)

I just recently got a Powershot A80, which I love. I got the Canon PSC-60 soft 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 and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of functionality.

I moved on to the Lowepro MX10 (which is now called the Lowepro D-Res 10 AW, only the colors have changed a bit). 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.

One final note: Lowepro has a "matrix" on their website to match many different camera models with the appropriate bag. For the Canon Powershot A60/A70 (similar size as the A80), the matrix recommends another bag (the D-Res 8S), but I tried both in a store and the MX 10/D-Res 10 seemed a better fit, with more room for extras (CF card and batteries).

5.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you visit a store before buying online!, February 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lowepro D-Res 10 AW Digital Camera Bag (Electronics)

I really like this bag but was very worried about how my camera would fit (Canon S110) in the bag. I was doing a lot of comparison shopping on-line and even used the Lowepro Matrix (a list of all Lowepro bags and which cameras fit best in them) and they recommended the D-Res 10 AW. I found that placing my camera in vertically gave it too much space to jostle around. Placing it in the other way gave a snugger fit, but now there is a gap between the top of the camera and the bag. The "gap" will accommodate 2 CF cards with cases and the pouch, a battery, given that configuration.

Those with compact cameras such as mine should consider looking at the D-Res 8 model. It is more compact, cheaper, although it does not have the all weatherproof cover to pull over the case like the D-Res 10.

I also recommend storing the desiccant in the case to avoid moisture ruining your camera. You can just pop them in the oven when they have absorbed too much moisture to redry them so that they can be reused.

Overall, I think the bag is a fine product. Just make sure you visit a store to find the best fit with your equipment and accessories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Canon PowerShot series cameras (even PowerShot A610), January 15, 2006

By

This review is from: Lowepro D-Res 10 AW Digital Camera Bag (Electronics)

This is a great camera bag for the Canon PowerShot series of cameras. I have the PowerShot A610 and it fits perfectly. The bag has a soft cushioned lining to protect the camera and especially the LCD viewfinder. There is plenty of padding to protect the camera in case the bag is dropped. The front-most compartment does indeed hold 4 AA batteries nicely (dispite what other reviewers say). There is even a middle pocket for an extra SD memory card (this pocket is big enough to hold the SD card it it's own plastic case). The shoulder strap is nice and long and fully adjustable to make it long enough to drape across the body, or short enough to carry it on your shoulder with the bag tucked under your armpit. The belt loop is the best I've seen on a camera case with a sturdy double velcro closure. I'm a big fan of the Codura nylon that this bag is made of due to its durability and water repellency, but this bag even has a pullout water proof cover to protect the bag even more in wet weather.

I guess the only thing preventing me from giving this item 5 stars is the front most pocket that holds the batteries. When the bag is closed, the batteries are secure and snug, but when the bag is opened, the batteries sometimes fall out. This isn't really a big deal, but it's worth mentioning. An easy fix is to simply tape up the batteries with Scotch tape before putting them in the bag, that way they stay together.

I was originally going to buy the case made made by Canon specifically for this camera, but after reading reviews on the Lowepro case I got it instead and I am glad I did. The Canon case is good and sturdy, but there's no room for batteries and there is no padding to protect the camera is the case is dropped.
