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).

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.

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.

As I ordered the camera on line, I wanted a case to fit snugly, but couldn't try them on for fit. The choice of camera was directly related to the size, so I didn't want a big bulky case. The Lowe website tells you exactly which bag to buy for a particular model of camera, which is great, otherwise I probably would have ordered the wrong one. But just like they said, the camera fits snugly inside, there is a bit of room for a couple extras. For traveling, hiking, cycling, and whatever else I can get myself into, this is a great little case that protects well.

That's right folks, this bag is in fact better than those made by Canon. I recently purchased a Canon A20 digicam as a backup for my Canon S100 Elph. Both are excellent cams. I bought the Canon PSC100 bag for the Elph, and though it fits like a glove, and retains the slick Elph form, it has no protection, little storage space, or extras. If you drop the bag, even on the carpet, you're done for. And did I mentioned there's no special cloth material to protect the LCD screen?

Now for the LowePro bag. This baby's awesome! It has enough compartments to store 8 extra AA batteries & 1 extra CF card, or 4 extra AA batteries & 3 extra CF cards. Plus, the material hugging the digicam's very plush, creating a warm and protective feeling. And there's also something special in the back. You can actually pull out a nylon hood to cover the bag on a rainy day. They thought of everything. Excellent work LowePro.

Highly recommended for any digicam... Just find one that fits your cam's dimension.

I bought this for my Canon Powershot A610 because canon's case which was made for this model (dcc-300) hasn't been released in the U.S. as far as I can tell, and I didn't want to squeeze it into the model made for the A95.

As for the case, it fits very nicely. The space for the extra memory card is good. The lining is excellent. The batteries are supposed to go to the side of the camera, not in front, and though fitting four AAs is a bit tricky, it can be done, and that way no batteries fall out when the case is opened.

I love this case.

I own three Lowepro cases; a "Topload Zoom 2" (which I use whenever I take any of my SLR cameras in the field), a "D-Res 8" for my Canon S400, and and a "D-Res 10 AW", which I use with my Fuji MX-1700 digital camera. I think that all of them are exceptionally good. They are well-made, durable, good looking and functional. Before settling on Lowepro a couple of years ago, I went through dozens of bags, and was never really happy with any of them.

The D-Res 10 AW is the perfect size for my Fuji MX-1700. It is over two years old now, and looks as good as the day that it arrived at my door via UPS - despite the fact that it has seen LOTS of abuse over the last few years.

Very nice camera bag. Even though it isn't on LowePro's list, the new Canon A610 fits into this case nicely. Plenty of room for a memory card or two, but 4 spare AA batteries might be pushing it.

I ordered this bag to use with the Canon PowerShot A10 and am thrilled with it! It holds the camera, extra compact flash card and batteries. The inside is plush and won't scratch the camera and it has a rain hood for bad weather. This bag fits the A10 like a glove!!

Great bag. It does fit the A20 and an extra Compact Flash card perfectly. However, it is a bit tight when trying to fit 4 'AA' batteries but it is acceptable. The quality of the bag is top notch and the fabric inside the bag won't scratch the lcd screen. The hidden cover is a bonus!
