This review is from: Lowepro G-Res 10 Camera Pouch for Canon G10 and Canon G11 (Black) (Electronics)

We previously purchased a Lowepro case for our Canon A710 IS and are extemely happy with it -- small, lightweight, easy on/off with a combination velcro/snap attachment, and has a small accessory pocket for spare batteries and/or SD card. We were hoping the G-Res pouch would be as good, but we're somewhat disappointed. It's small and lightweight, and instead of the zipper on the A710 IS case (which usually requires two hands to open), the G-Res has a typical quick "buckle" that can be released with one hand. But, there is NO accessory pocket for anything, and the camera JUST fits inside. When the camera's shoulder strap is attached to the camera, there's NO room for the strap inside the case (you have to fold it up and sorta place it between the camera and the pouch's top flap). When we add a typical quick-release tripod mount to the bottom of the camera, then it barely fits into the case at all, even though it's fabric and gives a little -- very, very tight fit. Instead of the combination velcro/snap attachment on the A710 IS case, the G-Res has only a velcro attachment. When placed on the hip-belt of a day pack or backpack, the velcro tends to catch on whatever fabric is around, like my really nice hiking shirt :-(

Overall it's a "decent" case, but I think Lowepro could have done a better job in the design (adding an accessory pocket, allowing a little more room to accommodate the camera's strap and/or a quick-release tripod mount, and a more versatile attachment system)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Belt Case For Canon G11, November 27, 2009

I did my research PRIOR to purchasing the G-Res 10 camera pouch. Was looking for a compact belt pouch without any bulk to house my Canon G11. This pouch is exactly that and works perfectly. I use a small Op/Tech hand strap on the G11 and prefer to let the strap rest outside the top of the G-Res case even though I could carefully fit it inside. The G11 is a snug fit while in the G-Res and the camera is perfectly protected. The velcro strap used to attach to your belt is sturdy and secure. This review is about using the G-Res 10 pouch with a Canon G11 camera so your mileage may vary.

Again, the G11 is a compact camera and I wanted a case that was compact. When one or more extra storage pockets are included on these compact cases they really are no longer all that compact. So folks, if your looking for a belt pouch to accommodate extra memory cards, tripod attachments, batteries, kitchen sinks...then buy the appropriate case for your needs.

As far as a compact, well built and snug fit for a Canon G11 I can recommend this case. For other compact cameras...think about what you want to carry in it, measure (take into consideration the camera strap) and purchase a case that matches your requirements.

I bought this carrier only to protect the camera when in my purse and for hiking. It works well in the purse or back pack because it isn't bulky. What I don't like about the pouch is that the camera goes in vertically not horizontally, thus the straps of the camera don't hang well when you wear it outside. The latch is to cumbersome to get undone when wearing gloves in cold weather. It would be better to have velcro on the front opening.
