Ok, now that I've gone ahead and ordered my camera from Dell
(still waiting, btw), I'm researching carrying cases. I want something
that the camera will fit into with room for extra cf cards, and perhaps
an extra battery. Something that has a shoulder strap would be
preferred. What do you guys recommend? I"ve been looking at the
Crumpler bags, but don't know which size would fit the camera. Help :)
Thanks!
 
I just received my s45 and went through the same exercise of trying to find a carrying case. I went with aNova Mini from Lowepro - cost about $25.00US. It has plenty of room for extra cards, a spare battery, sunglasses, etc. - yet is still rather compact. Plus, its padding is excellent and it has a shoulder strap. Hope this helps.

I am also looking for a nice slim case for my s45.
I have red about the canon pcs-30 soft leather case,
has anyone tried it out?

The threads that hold the belt loop on mine broke after 6-8 weeks of somewhat light use. This resulted in the camera dropping onto a concrete walk, fortunately I noticed it and the camera was not damaged. I now use a Lowepro on the belt (or shoulder) and the Canon PCS30 when I carry the camera in my briefcase or computer bag.

Thanks Doug, one more question is the case slim fitting towards the camera?

I've got the PCS-30 case and like it a lot. Since I read your message about the PCS-30 earlier, Doug, I've been examining mine frequently for strength in the belt loop. So far it is holding up quite nicely, but your experience is disconcerting. I hope it was a manufacturing error and mine will be OK.

For the orignal posted question, the case is small and just fits the S45. There is a flat hard shell protection sewn between the leather and plush inside that protects the camera. I carry my spare battery and CF card in my pocket. Works quite nicely for me.

Hi,

How bout the Lowepro D-RES 8? It fits my S45 perfectly. It was really designed for digital cameras.
 
Tomas – The case provides a nice slim fit for the camera, with a wide belt loop but no room for a spare battery or CF. I carried a spare battery in my pocket as Gary does. It was unfortunate for me as the cam case was the ideal size, however I still use it when traveling to protect the camera. I purchased the Lowepro D Res 20 AW for use on the belt, this one has room for a spare battery, CF and is still fairly compact.

At least the Canon case provided enough protection for the cam to survive the unintentional drop test.

The Tamrac Digital 2 (model 5692) is also a nice bag with an extra pocket and a nice belt loop. It fits the camera very well.
 
i'd just shop around until you find the one you like.. go to Walmart.. Best Buy.. Photo Shopps... there will be one there that you will like. ...

i promise..

cheers

I went to BestBuy to buy a case for my S45. I finally narrowed down my choices to Lowepro Z10 and Targus Classic II DCRC 01. At $8.99 for the Lowepro and $7.99 for the Targus, price wasn't a factor. Both have shoulder stirp and belt loop.

The major difference between the two is Lowepro has a zipper for the main compartment while Targus uses self-adhesive closure. I finally decided that I like the Targus better because I can get the camera out faster without worrying about the LCD being scratched by the zipper. The downside of course is that self-adhesive closure does not close as tightly.

I have been using the Targus for about a month now and am generally happy with it. It has a front zipper pocket which can hold at least two extra CF cards and a spare battery, which I do routinely.

Hey Arsen...

I am correct in that it's the PSC 20 that you got! Does it fit well, Is it too tight at all. Also, where sis you end up gtting it at? Thanks
