This doesn't fit the Canon SX40 HS as stated. Way too small. Will fix small compact cameras. Using it for a Nikon S9100.

I was having difficulty finding a case for my new Canon SX30 IS that only fit the camera, and nothing else. I didn't need a camera bag, just a case. I ran across this case, and with no reviews took a chance.
The case itself works fine to cover/protect the camera. However, using it with a canon SX30 IS camera doesn't work out too well. You have to stretch/push the camera into this case, and in the process it is very easy to either hit the on/off button, or the photo preview button, causing the camera to turn on. If you hit the on/off button, the lens will come out while in the case, causing a terrible clicking sound coming from your new camera as the lens gets restricted from its designed movement. The case also isn't very easy to get on quickly, It probably takes a good 30-45 seconds to get it all wrapped up, and for my uses just isn't what I was looking for.

This case is well constructed and should offer a reasonable amount of protection for your camera. I use it with a canon Powershot SX40HS and it's a pretty snug fit. I like that the camera strap can still be used when the camera is in the case. I don't know if the camera would survive a fall with this case on, but it's better than nothing. I actually just use this like a sleeve and keep the camera in a camera gear bag which offers a lot more protection. The fit might be a little too snug for some people, but I think with time the case will "break in" to the camera.
Honest reviews on Fotodiox Neoprene Zoom Camera Cover Sleeve (Travel Case) for Canon
A few of the reviews here have given bad feedback about accidentally turning the camera on when putting this cover on. I own a Powershot SX30 IS and this sleeve fits my camera like a GLOVE, which it was intended to do. Avoid turning the camera on when putting it in the sleeve: Put your thumb over the hot shoe, and fingers under the camera. With the other hand, pull the sleeve over the camera. I have NEVER had a problem with the camera turning on. Leave the strap hanging out of the cover, too. This sleeve is exactly what I need for toting my camera everywhere with me.

I like the innovative design. The material is strong and threadwork is good. Really, I just wanted something to protect my "tweener camera" Canon Powershot SX30 (not my DSLR and not my lightweight P&S) whenever I just wanted to throw it in my backpack while traveling. Works like a champ. It can fit a variety of cameras and if you accidentally hit the power button the nose has room to allow the lens to extend. Overall very happy, but as I mentioned I wasn't asking for much.
