   The good: It fits the camera nicely without a lot of extra bulk. It is very soft protective material inside. It utilizes the camera strap instead of having its own.
   The bad: It doesn’t have the pouch inside for a spare SD card and set of spare batteries like the case for the Canon S5 had. Also, not as big a deal as the pouch is that in addition to the zippers on the sides, it has 2 little magnetic closure things like some cell phone cases have. They never seem to line up correctly so that they engage each other and don’t hold well. Nothing but the zippers or a piece of velcro would be better.
   All-in-all, I would have given it 5 stars if it had a pouch/pocket either inside or out for 1 spare SD and 1 spare set of AA batteries. Now you will have to carry them separately.

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom from the world’s largest electronic retailer. Giddy with anticipation of its arrival, I surveyed all the gotta-have accessories to accompany this particular camera - case, mini-tripod, memory card, lens cap tether, and 18-year old lingerie model. The memory card, lens cap tether (Bower CK501 Lens Cap Keeper), and case I ordered almost immediately.

   Anyway, I’ve since received both the camera and the CANON PSC-4000 DELUXE LEATHER CASE. Consistent with other reviews of the latter, it seems generally well-constructed, the leather pleasingly soft and pliable, and with room to cradle the camera snugly. However, I also confirm the observations of fellow users regarding the overall design; the magnetic closures are disconcertingly cheesy, and the lack of secondary pockets for extra batteries, second memory card, and chewing gum for the model is an inconvenience. I’m sending the case back, but not for either of these two reasons.

   I’m not sure what I was thinking; it must have been a conceptual block. If used, the case would hang from around my neck by the strap attached to the camera. So, if I took the camera out to actually take a snap, where would I stash the case? Cast aside somewhere, obviously, where it could easily be forgotten while I’m distracted, e.g. during the lingerie photo shoot.

   For perhaps less money than I spent on the PSC-4000, I’m sure I can find a sturdy general-duty bag at the local brick-and-mortar camera store that has lots of pockets and can stay tethered to me at all times even while, um, busy.

   Like others, it would have been nice to have an extra pocket for batteries. However, it didn’t negatively sway my decision about purchasing the bag. Keeping the camera safe was my first priority. I wasn’t concerned about having a pocket for an extra memory card. You can by an 8GIG card and shouldn’t need another one handy for a picture shoot.

   The camera fits snug in the bag. It’s a nice fit. I like that the camera’s strap is also used for the bag. It’s a smart idea in order to keep the bag compact.

   I highly suggest purchasing this camera bag. it’s a small investment for protecting your camera.
