Re: SX270 same lens as SX 240/260?

I had the SX260 in a Crumpler Neoprenbag and was carrying this in my pocket.

There it is fairly easy to turn the camera on by pressing the replay button.

Once turned on in replay it just needs a soft touch to the shutterbutton on top and the lens comes out. Bad luck if it is still in the pocket.

For the SX240 I used a belt bag. Same story - you crab it either front and back or top and bottom. So it may happen that you press the big start button on the top corner or do it the same way as with the SX260 and incidently hit first the replay and the cover of the bag hits the shutterbutton - and the lens comes out before the camera has left the bag completely.
