Canon Powershot G5, pouch wanted!

[Coop]

I'm getting my new 2nd hand Powershot G5 this week. I wanted a half decent camera for toss in the backpack and lug around everywhere duty, and the G5 seems to be perfect for my purposes.

But as I have a lot of other stuff in my bag, including stuff you wouldn't want to come in to direct contact with a camera like heavily knurled flashlights, I'm looking for a pouch to put it in.

I'd like it to fit nice and tight and waste as little space as possible. Extra pockets for accessories aren't needed. And as this pouch will be carried inside a backpack, belt clips & loops and carry straps are completely unimportant

What can you guys (& gals ofcourse) suggest me?

 

[Coop]

Well, it turned out the cam came with a case, but it doesn't offer much protection. So this gives me a little more time to look around, but any recommendations are still welcome

You can pick up nice fitted leather cases on ebay for under $10. Some are even less expensive. I've had good luck with the ones i've bought for my cameras.

Hardcase like a Pelikan 1020?

 

[Coop]

I thoughts about that, but it's a bit overkill I think

Quantaray Pro holster style. While it has a handle on top and three small outside storage pockets, there are others out there that dont. It works great to toss around and provides good protection and is small enough to put in my backpack.

It's supposed to just offer some protection when in a backpack, so outside pockets are more of a burden than they are useful. Not that it really matters, as Quantaray isn't being sold here anyway

The G5 is a bit bigger than the G9 though it might fit.

Lookin good Nekomane, but the G5 is substantially bigger than the G9 (think SLR body without lens big).

but IIRC ripoffs makes something that fits the G5, I might give that a try
