Digital Camera Canon Powershot Review

If you have a Canon PowerShot SD780IS12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black), get this case immediately. The camera itself doesn't come with any protective case so it'll be good to have this case for protection. It is made specifically for that camera so the fit is excellent. The magnetic clasp is convenient and holds firmly.

Reading the other review, I was skeptical if it would fit my new SD940 IS - which I really love for it's size and handling. Anyway: I can confirm that PSC-1050 fits SD940 IS like a glove. Yes, the handle-string needs to be pulled all through - on the way in&out - which is normal and no big deal from my point of view. Then the flap closes perfectly = nice and snug. It's quality leather will protect the camera perfectly w/o making it bulky. A bonus would have been a small pocket in the front or whereever for an extra battery. With storage cards in the range of 16 GB which I usually can't "fill" in a month of vacation photos, there is no need to constantly carry another card arround. But, the battery is a different issue. Mine are usually drained after a couple days - and I really like to drain them fully to keep their life up. Therefore, yes, I have been running out of "battery power" from one day to the next and therefore a small clever pocket for a spare battery would be A BIG PLUS on every camera case. ... other than that PSC-1050 is perfect also for Canon SD 940.

Contrary to what another reviewer wrote, this case accommodates my SD940IS very well. It is initially a little tight (just as all leather cases) but as long as you put the cord through the hole in the case, it works beautifully. If you don't thread through the top hole, then it will not close securely. Perhaps this could be easily solved by getting a different camera cord that didn't have a plastic component?

SD780 measurements: 87 x 56 x 18 mm (3.4 x 2.2 x 0.7 in)
SD940 measurements: 89 x 55 x 20 mm (3.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 in)

Yes, the SD940 is ever-so-slightly longer (2mm) and thicker (2mm) than the SD780 but I can verify that the case does in fact fit my SD940. Extremely high quality case.

Excellent quality, perfect fit and great price. I looked at the offerings in retail stores and didn't see anything nearly as nice this case.

After reading some of the other reviews I wasn't sure if the magnetic flap would close if I used this case with the SD940IS. The SD940IS is 2mm longer than the SD780IS. Well, don't worry it fits the SD940IS perfectly like a glove and the flap closes just fine. The first time when it was straight out of the box and I closed the cover, the magnet didn't catch. Then I pushed the camera inside a little more snug, and I pulled the flap a bit. Then it snaps shut every time, if you just give it a little tug the first few times to "break it in." Now it just naturally falls into the right position to catch on the magnet. So if you have the SD940IS - I say go ahead buy this very nice leather case.

The case fits perfectly the Canon camera SD780 IS. I saw somebody saying that it is somehow difficult to take the camera out from the case and here it is what I do. I do not pull the camera wrist strap through the hole in the case when I know that I will use the camera. I use the wrist strap to pull the camera out of the case. It comes nice, quickly and easy. I wear the case on my belt most of the time.

Fits the Canon PowerShot SD780IS perfectly. Don't think it would work with most other cameras. Pretty minimal case, but does its job (protecting the camera). The wriststrap sometimes takes some fiddling to get it out of the slot, so it's not the fastest to get the camera out. But overall very good.

I bought this case since it was recommended to fit the new sd940is by both amazon and [...] (canon's site). While you can shove the camera in tightly (a little bit too tightly), good luck getting the flap to securely shut. To make matters worse, it's a magnetic snap, so unless the flap makes direct contact, which it can't, it doesn't hold. I prefer velcroe flaps (like other generic cases have). Now I'm stuck with a case two days before my vacation that doesn't work. *sigh*

I first had the case used for the SD780 which is a perfect fit. Then I upgraded to the SD940 and bought another one. The SD940 is slight larger but none the less the case fit. The trick is to stretch it out. I put a pack of cigarettes (which fits very snugly) just to stretch it out for a day. Now it works fine.
Does NOT fit the SD1400

This case was designed for the Canon 780IS. I wouldn't recommend buying this if you do not have that camera. At first I thought the case might not be big enough even for that small camera, but it worked perfectly. The case keeps the camera very tight and protected. It is a little challenging to slide the camera in and out of the case though.
