Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PSC-70 Deluxe Soft Camera Case for the Powershot S1 IS & G6
Customer Review: Not practical and uncomfortable
Summary: 2 Stars
I usually write reviews after a reasonable period of time after I have tried out the product.
I purchased this case along with my Canon S1 camera over a year ago. I must say I have to go with the majority of reviewers who say that this is mainly a deluxe padded case, with the Canon logo, in which to keep your camera in. That is, keep it in the case, and then inside your closet or a drawer. But you can also do that with a cheap plastic box you can buy at your local supermarket for a couple of bucks or less. If you want to carry your camera with you for picture taking, you can always put it, along with the case, inside a bigger camera carrying bag or a sports bag, hopefully with a shoulder strap. This would protect the camera from getting scratched or blemished. But, why would you want to do that? You can buy a cheaper bag from a lot of other brand choices, that will provide all of these features altogether.
This case has NO room whatsoever for anything besides maybe an extra memory card in a little pocket it has on the inside. The camera does fit tightly inside the case. A word of warning: DO NOT carry extra batteries inside this little pocket! If by any chance, you were to hit against anything solid, the batteries tightly snuggled against the camera, would very probably cause something to break in there! The LCD screen would much likely be the first to suffer from the impact. This happened to me once when I placed an extra battery along with a camcorder in the same compartment of a camera bag. The bag fell, from a very low chair, causing the camera to break when it hit against the battery. This would not have happened if they would have been in separate compartments.
I agree with the belt loop being useless. The case is far too bulky to place it in your belt. Given the size of this case, and camera, a shoulder strap would have been the right thing. If you are going to take a picture, supposedly outdoors, you are going to have to take the camera out of the awkwardly designed bag, and place it... on the floor, maybe?
I understand there are other camera cases which are fitted to the camera size. But this are much smaller cameras than the one you are going to put inside the PSC-70. These small cameras you can put inside your pocket even when inside the case. There is no way you can put the PSC-70 camera case inside your pocket. It is bulky.
Speaking of useless, this case has a fabric loop that closes with a broach, which I have'nt been able to figure out. Beware: this loop looks like something to carry the case from, but it breaks open easily with the weight of the camera. If you are holding it from there and the broach breaks open it may cause you to drop the camera. If it would not open, maybe I would have thought that was its purpose, but otherwise I can't think of a reason why Canon put it there.
The only way to carry the case is either grabbing it from the belt loop or wrapping your hand around it. To me, either way is uncomfortable.
You have to pull down two zippers (on both sides of the case) and a velcro on top to open it. It is made out of leather and mesh on the sides which do make it look stylish. I do keep my Canon S1 in the case when I keep it in the closet with the rest of my photo equipment. But I already bought another medium-sized comfortable carrying case (with a shoulder strap) to take the camera with me when I go picture taking.
