Rating: - Perfect case for the Canon G10
This case is perfect for the Canon G10. There is space inside to fit the camera with the neckstrap attached. It takes some thought on how to fit the neckstrap inside but turns out to be really simple. The camera does not move about the inside of the case. The soft padded material helps keep the camera from scratches. The extra pockets in the front are great places for a micro flash card reader, extra flash cards, transfer cable. This case solved my compact storage solution. The orange interior is a cool touch. The weather guard is an excellent added feature. It hides nicely behind the backside of the case which also provides extra cushion for the camera inside.
I originally purchased the Canon deluxe leather case for the G9/G10, but it only offered protection for the camera, and the neckstrap was hanging out and hard to keep organized. The Lowepro Apex 60 AW solved my problem.
This review is based on purchase through Amazon and ownership for less than one month.

I was looking for a bag that's a right fit for my Sanyo VPC-HD1000 HD digital camera/camcorder. I tried several - either they were too big or too small and nothing seemed right. The original holster sold by Sanyo has a lot left to be desired. This bag fits perfectly.
For those people reading this review who don't own a Sanyo, I'd like to point out that this is a full featured product: sliplock system for a belt/bag loop, good inside stitching and zippers, pouch for both an extra battery and memory card, good materials, etc. The best part is the all-weather protection cover that's so neatly hidden inside a flap, you just pull it out when you need and fold/put it back in when you don't need it anymore.

I usually am impressed with Lowe Pro items, but after using this camera bag for the past 3 weeks I decided to just give it away. The awkward opening makes it difficult to get to your camera, not to mention quite dangerous when trying to take out equipment. I read the reviews and should have tried the bag out at a store before making the purchase. Went and bought a conventional gadget bag that opens ergonomically right.

The AW series has the waterproof bag that comes out from the bottom and covers the entire bag. This is great when traveling in changing weather conditions. It has ample space for my camera( SD870IS), and batteries, and SD cards. If you want it just for the camera case, then it is to big for the sub-compact cameras. Get the smaller Apex AW line then.
Only problem is that the camera case isnt a harder shell like other companies offer.

This is a great camera case. Very good quality. I bought it for my Canon A640 digital camera and it fits very well.
