Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PSC-75 Deluxe Soft Case for PowerShot S1 IS, S2 IS, and G6
Customer Review: Perfect camera protection
Summary: 5 Stars
This case does exactly what it is advertised to do: it is a form-fitting case, not a camera bag. My Canon S3 fits snugly inside. The case is not over-sized and there is no room for anything but the camera and maybe an extra memory card in a pocket in the back on the inside. If you want to carry accessories, look elsewhere. But, if you want a compact case to protect your camera, this does the job very well. The case has thick padding and seems like it will do a good job protecting the camera from shock. I use this case to carry the camara around and I also use it when I store the camera in my camera bag.
The case has a Velcro closure and a zipper on each side. Pop open the Velcro and push the front clamshell-half away and the camera is exposed. Lift out the camera and you are good to go. Access to the camera is very quick and easy.
I don't use a camera strap, but the case has a loop for wrapping around the strap, which should be run outside the case. This case reminds me of yesteryears 35mm camera cases that fit over the camera body and lens. Those cases were designed to protect the camera from wear and tear, and the strap always went outside with those cases.
Customer Review: A good case for the Canon S3IS
Summary: 5 Stars
I read loads of the reviews on Amazon before buying this case. Some of them were so bad that I nearly didn't buy it at all. I am extremely glad that I finally bit the bullet.
The Canon S3IS fits into the case perfectly. The strap of the camera doubles up to be the strap of the case and there are poppered loops to keep the case on securely.
There is not really room for spare batteries and there is no zipped pocket to store spare memory cards securely. That may be a problem for some people but doesn't really bother me. I have a larger case that does take the batters and memory cards but it is so big that it doesn't fit into even a large handbag and takes up masses of space in a rucksack so you always end up carrying it separately. This case is neat enough that it will fit into my handbag if I wish - I find that batteries and memory cards can usually be thrown into pockets or some other bag.
So, in conclusion, this is probably the case for you if you are just looking for a neat case to protect your camera. If you are looking for a big padded case to carry all the extras around too, don't buy this one. You would just be disappointed.
Customer Review: Fits perfectly with Canon PowerShot S5 IS Camera with some pointers
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the mixed reviews for use of the Canon PSC-75 Deluxe Soft Case with the Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera, I was concern on how the actual fit may be with this camera. When I tried this combination of the new camera and the soft case, they fitted perfectly like a glove. In fact, there was no stretching of the soft case and there was no need to shove the camera into it with great effort. The zippers closed effortlessly.
However, here are some pointers to help achieve this result. The Neck Straps are intended to be coming out from the case. In placing the camera into the case, hold firmly the camera with middle fingers over the lens cap and tilt the camera forward so that the bottom of the lens cap touches the bottom leather part of the case. Then continue to slide the camera backwards into the rear of the case.
Furthermore, this was done with the cap lens cord attached to the Neck Strap adjacent to the closest strap mount on the camera. Make sure that the lens cap is positioned such that the lens cap cord is most loosely connected to the camera strap mount.
Customer Review: It does what it suppose to do
Summary: 5 Stars
I have Canon S3 IS camera and this case works perfectly. You can actually take your camera out with just one hand (and not have to go through 3-step process as some reviewers are saying) - just open the top, and with two fingers open the zippers (they open so easily) and grab your camera - 2 sec!
You also have a small pocket to fit extra memory card, but I am pretty good at keep my card 'low' (and I would never go out on a big trip w/ full memory card). As far as the batteries goes, rechargeable batteries are soo good, I can take 100's of pictures in just one charge, so there is no need to carry extra batteries in this camera bag. If you go on vacation or something, you would bring your charger too and it can't fit in the camera bag - so just leave extra batteries to charge while you are out taking pictures with freshly charged batteries and empty memory card. This little bag actually does what it suppose to, and it is not to replace your carry on baggage!
Customer Review: Great Case
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful case for an even better camera. Others have mentioned that they can't fit anything else into the case, but I've had no problems carrying the things I need. At the back of the case there's a small pouch where you can fit 4 batteries for a complete battery change. I have put an extra memory card in there too, but I can't imagine anyone ever needing to - get a 2 GB card and you'll never have time to take that many pictures. The strap can fit in if you do this - start in the center of the strap, folding it in about 3" lengths. You'll end up with a small bundle that can stuff between the lens and right grip.
Bottom line, if you just want to carry the camera and a spare set of batteries, get this. If you want to bring along a bunch of accessories, see my eBay auction for my old camera - a good 35 pounds of stuff to haul. That'll change your mind about accessories! This camera doesn't need them.
