I am looking for the smallest bag to wear on my belt for the original camera configuration only. Small size is the key factor. No lenses or batteries.

I carry my G1 everywhere in the Lowepro D-Res 20AW. I've fitted a G2 into it and that went just as well. There's even room for 2 or 3 CF cards and your remote.

The AW designation means All-Weather. The bag has a rainhood tucked into its bottom which you can pop out when you get caught in a heavy rain. I've only had to use it once, but it worked great.

I bought a bag a walmart for I think $7 that just barely fits the G2 with the strap. I had the same requirements as you, small size and it fits on my belt great. Also includes a shoulder strap too if needed. I don't remember the name of it, but will check when I get home.

I have the Canon SC-PS700 soft case for the G2. I don't think you can get it smallert thant that. Look at the accessory page on the G2 review
It has a belt loop.

I took my G2 into a drug store chain that has a lot of camera cases and found a canvas bag that just fits. I use the strap on the G2 as the bag strap by keeping it out when I close the case. It has one small zippered pocket in which I also keep a small plastic 18% grey card, lens cleaner and lens wipe.

I have the same bag (with rainkit) for a G2. I like the bag very much and it can be easily attached on my bigger Lowepro backpack if go for a larger trips.
It's waterproof and it can handle big bumps. I usually take my G2 with me while biking and so far, my G2 (with microdrive) is still working fine with no cracks so I definitely can recommend Lowepro bags...

Looking at the dimensions of camera and bag, the Lowepro Dres 20 AW would appear to not be wide enough by 1", Presumably it stretches, but isn't it then a very tight fit? Would I be better with a DRes 25 or is that slightly too big? I'd rather have a bit of space for a few accessories, as long as the camera is a snug fit and doesn't slop around. Any 25 owners able to advise on that?
Thanks, Dave

swerve,
I purchased this one for my JVC digicam, but when I exchanged it for the G2 I thought I would at least try it. It holds the cam fine and has a front pouch for CF and remote. It has a nice adjustable shoulder strap and arrangable belt strap(not just a cheap fall off or get stolen clip).
I will send you a pic if you would like.....John

D-Res 25AW is better; since he said "smallest belt bag"...
Mine is the AF Plus.

Thanks everyone. After reading the responses I ended up with the Lowepro D-Res 20 AW.
1. This bag has alot of cushion/padding.
2. It is a tight fit but it works and will stretch.
3. Has a neat slip-over rain cover that's always attached but hidden
4. The case can come off the belt without removing the belt.
5. None of the camera is ever exposed like some bags do.
It seems this one is the best so far. $20.00 cost.

Nevermind...sorry. I just checked out the link and it does come with a shoulder strap. Sounds perfect.

Mine didn't come with a shoulder strap? Mine's only for belts and can be attached on a bigger lowepro sack (like the trekker series).
Gonna check the shop soon, it should indeed come with a shoulder strap...

Oopps, mine is the 200AW and not the 20AW... my mistake. The 200AW is big enough to carry the G2 safely and it doesn't come with a shoulder strap...
