Canon DCC-1450 Soft Case for PowerShot S100

Comments about Canon DCC-1450 Soft Case for PowerShot S100:

This is a perfectly good case, and fits the camera for which its designed well. What I would say is that I don't totally understand the design. The front flap folds down revealing the lens. Great, but you can take pictures like that because the rear LCD and controls are covered. So you have to take the camera out completely, which is awkward. Perhaps I'm missing something.

I thought this was bad value for money (even when I got it at a discount with the S100), it was boxy and generally naff looking but I needed something as Canon are too tight to supply any form of camera protection!

How wrong can you be?

I use the S100 for ad hoc wildlife shots and the velcro fixings on most small camera pouches make an awful racket - the magnetic flap on this case is silent, simple, quick and works really well one handed. The rigidity of the case inspires some degree of confidence and the fit of the S100 is excellent - neither too snug or too loose. It sits on the belt quite well and I use it all the time!

To be picky, it does have fairly large finger-gaps at the ends exposing the camera slightly so care is needed if it rains. It also has no room for a spare battery or sd card - given how small they are these would add very little to the overall size and would stop me having them rattle around in my pocket!

Overall this is a surprisingly good piece of kit - not quite 5/5 but very close.

Adds minimal bulk to your camera whilst giving adequate protection. No room for spare battery, memory card, but that wasn't anticipated. Even fits the camera (just) when fitted with a small pocket camera support from a well known tripod manufacturer which is a big bonus.

Case designed for Canon S95 or S100 and fits perfectly. Can use with my adapted CPL filter in place on camera lens. Used on belt or slip into coat/jacket pocket.Only cons are having to remove camera from case to take pictures and change battery or SD card.
