Canon PSC-1 Side Pack for all Powershot Digital Cameras Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This bag is exceedingly well-made and at $10, an absolute bargain. I would've been happy with mine at three times that price. The fabric is durable, the zippers are sturdy, and the design is excellent, with a total of five exterior pockets and one large interior compartment that can be divided. Overall, the bag gives an impression of quality and good design.

The reviewer who gave this bag two stars is not being fair. His complaint seems to be that the bag's size is... well... the size stated in its description. If he didn't read the dimensions of the bag before ordering and was expecting something much smaller, how is that the product's fault?

Know what you're ordering: This smallish shoulder bag is a little smaller than a sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper in width and height, and about 2" thick. You probably wouldn't want to use it all the time, like you might with a belt-mounted camera case. But if you need to head out on a photo day trip with your digital camera, an extra set of batteries, an extra storage card, a small notebook, a map, and a cell phone, this bag is pretty close to perfect.

as a camera bag, it is really stylish and superlight.

I bought it as my mini-day pack for Canon digital camera, batteries, and one guide book, and a bottle of water. They all fit and still could put some more. So, you get the idea of the size.

If you are considering a compact bag like a fanny bag size, this is twice of the volume. A medium dark shiny grey color makes it look very sleek in my opinion. I think it was a very good buy, at least, better than Canon camera I bought with it;)

This bag has tons of room. Alot of padding to protect your camera. Alot of pockets for batteries, media cards etc. I even use it to put my keys, money, glasses etc in when going to games or events that I dont want to take my purse as something extra to carry. The strap is great too. Whether you want to carry it or put it over your shoulder. This bag is worth twice the price!

Honest reviews on Canon PSC-1 Side Pack for all Powershot Digital Cameras

This is not a straight camera case or even bag, so to speak, but nevertheless I've found it very useful as a field bag, and the price is extremely attractive. There is room for far more than a small digital camera, and I suspect Canon just never correctly marketed the real utility of this item, after reading another review.

Professional photographers have scads of choices in dedicated equipment bags; everyday shooters are prone to grab the nearest tote if they need more than just a protective sheath for the camera.

As has been mentioned already, there is room in this bag for field guides, camera manuals, power cords, batteries, keys, wallets, etc; it's a great small messenger-type bag overall. I have started using it in place of a shoulder bag from time to time.

One quibble: instead of the small (velcro-attached) shelf available in the main compartment, insert an attached bag, or slipcase, dedicated to the camera itself, in order to protect the LCD from scratches, and provide quick retrieval. I'd be happy to buy it again with that improvement.

With the current design, many people will just throw the camera into the main compartment with who knows what else. And then they will of course complain when the LCD gets beaten up.

This is a nicely designed camera bag. I have a Canon powershot S3 IS that fit's perfectly inside the main compartment with tons of room to spare. There actually enough space for my compact as well.

Best feature of this camera bag It doesn't look like a camera bag. It's got a very casual yet urban look and feel to it, so you won't look like a tourist when walking around in the city especially.

I'm sorry to say that the reviewer who gave this bag 2 stars didn't know exactly what he was purchasing this bag for, or didn't consider the pros and cons of owning such a bag prior to ordering it.

If you plan to carry tons of photography gear, this bag ain't for you.

If you wanna look like a total tourist, this bag ain't for you.

If you need a bag for your camera with room for spare batteries, memory cards or a couple of rolls of film, maybe even some usb cables, then this bag is perfect.

... and did I mention this bag looks uber-cool?
