Re: G7X "lens cap" getting stuck?

I find a case that fits the camera and then insert a very stiff card or piece of cardboard between the layers of fabric even if I have to cut some and glue. Important to isolate the lens from soft foam or what ever so the soft stuff cannot be pushed into the cover's moving parts. Use a slick card to prevent wear on your camera as you insert and remove the camera from it's case. My present solution for my G5 X is to just insert the cardboard in front of the camera in the case. No cutting, gluing, etc. I have fixed cases for 2 SX120s, an S100 and this G5 X. Might be overkill, but my lenses are intact.....Dan
