size only disappointment
By A3RPMVHV13LX5R on 2007-04-07
This case is accurately represented--fits the G7 like a glove--very sturdy. I was expecting it to be a little larger. The accessory holder is nice for an additional battery/memory card. However you can not carry the accessory holder in the main case. I would recomend this case to those looking for a convenient, "on the go" type of case for the CAMERA ONLY. For those wanting to tote batteries, chargers, accesories, or lens adapters with the camera you'll have to look elsewhere for a larger case.
Limited functionality
By A1JVC1SE0K59O2 on 2007-07-01
This doesn't seem to be a well designed case for the Canon G7. There is not really any room for the neck strap in the bag but it sort-of extends through holes in the sides so you could have the case on the camera while wearing it around your neck - but then where would you put the bag when you remove it to shoot? The case has openings that would allow rain or dust in. There is no room for accessories except in the little separate case that clips to the main case. It uses magnetic closures which I don't like to have around storage devices like SD cards. I prefer the Mountainsmith Focus II Camera Bag (Small, Warm Grey) that fits this camera perfectly with room for accessories and the strap and good closures to protect the camera from weather. [OK I know that SD cards should not be harmed by a magnet - I didn't say they would be. I'm an old guy and I don't like magnets around my valuable digital pictures. I also remember when smoking was not bad for your health...]
Sturdy
By A2AWSA7BPZPVLF on 2007-02-21
For Christmas, I received the Cannon G7. A very nice and expensive camera. I did not want to trust it to a soft case. This case is sturdy, but not hard. It is comfortable to carry around. Easy to slide the camera in and out of. I like that the strap of the camera is what I wear around my neck rather than having to try to fit it into the case. It comes with an attachable mini case to house the battery and/or memory cards. I highly recommend this case.
Canon G4 hard camera case
By AWA1MSJ42IOQS on 2007-01-12
The case is well designed to protect the camera and can be mounted on one's belt or worn over the shoulder (the strap of the camera protrudes from the case to make shoulder use possible). The case has a small holder for an extra battery and an extra SD memory card. I think that I will find the case useful, though I have bought an inexpensive soft case (about $10) that may be handier than the hard case. Since the Canon G4 is a high-end digital camera, it may be best to have the hard case to protect the camera in certain situations, even though the soft case might be handier in other situations.
Fits like a glove.
By A6BXKJS2UA97D on 2007-03-25
I have to agree with the other two reviews. Unless you want to take the tele-converter or wide angle lenses with you, this case is all you need. Canon TC-DC58C Tele Converter & WC-DC58B Wide Converter Lenses for Canon G7 Digital Camera + Accessory Kit w/5 Year Extended Warranties. The removable pouch is a great idea. You can take it or leave it, depending on your space constraints.
My only wish was if Canon would have made the case like an SLR case, in that you could unhinge or remove the front, and be able to take pictures using the viewfinder and automatic setting, without having to remove the case itself. Granted, you would not be able to use the LCD screen, but your camera would still be in a case. This would allow you to leave your other lenses on or just a conversion lens adapter with an appropriate filter to protect your lens. You cannot use a filter with this camera without the Conversion lens adapter, and this will not fit in the case as it would if it were an SLR case.
Overall, I am glad I purchased this case.
- I would not buy this again
By A3VZZPTVKG0BGK on 2007-10-28
The fit is all right, but the case is a bit cumbersome to open. First you lift the top flap, then the front flap can be opened.
What bugs me is that the manufacturing quality isn't on the standard I would have expected from an original Canon accessory. Under the leather, the case seems to be made of cardboard - when opening the flaps, the leather creases unattractively.
I strongly recommend not to buy this case without having seen what it looks like in reality.
- love it
By A1Q67GIO5AJGAL on 2008-01-18
It fits the G9 perfectly. The camera strap extends out of the case so it can be worn. It also comes with a little case that can attach to the outside (if you feel like it) for an extra battery; very thoughtful of them. The closure is solid but not difficult to use. I like the hardness of the case and it will protect the camera failry well, but don't try and ship this camera without extra protection. A hard drop will still hurt the camera. This case is designed more for functional on-your-person use.
- Nice fit - allows room for RRS L-Plate
By A14NDZWSSE2PQK on 2008-03-31
My G9 with the RRS L-Plate fits nicely into the PSC-5000 and the camera seems pretty well protected. As others have mentioned there is not enough room in the case for a backup battery but it does include a small leather attachable pocket for a spare battery and memory card. If your camera has a neck strap then the case and camera can be carried around your neck or over your shoulder (Or if you prefer a belt can be used.) All that being said, a better alternative is the Canon Soft Case SC-DC55A. However it is a more expensive "custom" carrying case.
- Good, but Could be Better
By A1RIKXSD2JR5OV on 2007-05-08
This case is well made and sturdy. It is easy to get the G7 in and out and protects the camera well. I love the little case that goes on the side of the bigger case. It fits an extra battery and a memory card in an efficient way. Space isn't wasted. It is super easy to get the battery and card in and out.
On the down side; I would like the belt clip to open and close, the magnetic snap on the main case and the battery case open too easily. They have opened as I am carrying the case. The snap on the side strap also undoes too easily, and I would like a wrist strap to be included.
- good quality and not a bad value
By A2G1I3Z9GX5Q1I on 2007-07-09
this seems to be quite nicely made - good materials and well constructed - also it's not a bad value, especially considering that there aren't many (are there any?) competing choices for a compact G7 case. The 'sidecar' battery case is a really questionable feature and I'm pretty sure that it will sit in my desk drawer until future archeologists try to figure out its purpose in the year 10,000.
- Even Better than Anticipated
By AGLJPEV0BQQAK on 2007-08-28
Over the years, I've developed a lot of respect for Canon products. This case meets or exceeds all my expectations. The combination of safety and quick access is difficult to achieve, but they've done it. Attached to my belt, the "box" holding the camera would probably keep it safe for everything but gymnastics; but there are on top of that "box" two more layers, the Velcro-held flip up cover and the magnetic snap-down top flap. The camera comes out quickly and goes in quickly. The strap doesn't seem to go with the case very well, but I don't need the strap when I have the camera in the case. I wouldn't change anything about this case.
- It does the job for me
By A35NPT6V7RZ5YA on 2008-02-19
All I wanted was a solid protective case with a Canon logo on it. This is exactly that. There isn't room to fit the neckstrap inside but that doesn't bother me. The neckstrap now doubles as the case's shoulder strap. The little side pocket is detachable and can fit a battery and a memory card but that's about it.
I give it a 4-star because there is always room for improvement.
- Classy Case
By A2K54YQS0NQ7S9 on 2008-02-27
The Canon G7+G9 are presented as classy, yet modern, digital interpretations of upsdale 35mm rangefinfers from the 60s and 70s. This case is the perfect complement to them. Beautifully crafted from soft leather, they snuggly cradle these exceptional cameras in the quality and style enjoyed by their Canon, Nikon, and Leica predecessors.
- Nice Case
By AK7DJIQG2A0C7 on 2008-04-07
Fits great with camera. Only complaint is that there is no built in storage for extra battery or memory cards. It comes with an extra holder that mounts to that, but it is awkward and looks bad.
- Canon G7 Case
By A1TZRD9Z2IOZHT on 2007-05-13
Perfect fit for the Canon G7 digital camera...but then again...it was created for it... You should get one!
- Ugly Duckling, But Good
By A18Z240JZC5A4M on 2007-08-06
This case is ugly at first, but it grows on you. It's a retro design w/felt lining. Fits the G7 perfectly. Only negative is you have to set it down while using the camera.
- Perfect fit and smart look
By A29GJ6GNZMM37J on 2007-09-24
We like it very much. Perfect fit and smart retro look. The leather gives it a nice touchy feeling too.
However we will not use this case when doing our traveling, as the camera will be carried in our back bag: we will be so sad to damage it; the case doesn't give strong protection against impact either.
This means we have this case we can use e.g. when going to family gathering, and another one for traveling.
- Strange little case, but worth it when worn on your belt
By A3TC5EV3EN00SF on 2007-11-22
I don't know why this case has both a velcro and magnetic enclosure, considering the magnetic is pretty much useless and hard to align as intended. And I don't understand why they designed it with a flap type top (which uses the magnetic closure) as the case "clam shells" over the camera (using the velcro), then the useless flap sits on top. But if you want to have a way to carry the camera on your belt, this works GREAT. Some reviewers have complained the case is too small to allow the camera strap to be inside, and that's true, but I'm not a fan of camera straps on little cameras anyway, so I just removed mine. This case is great for keeping the camera handy (and well protected) on your belt, and handy is what it's all about for me :)
- Perfect fit
By A27YA7B3XNKE7T on 2007-12-07
This semi-hard leather case fits perfectly for Canon G9. But it doesn't have space for spare batteries.
- Purchased for my G9
By A3IZBF56ZHHZOO on 2008-01-21
Cool retro design. The case does secure the entire camera, but tough to handle if you don't have it on your belt.
- good quality but a lil big
By A3VPD5KPJEVUT on 2008-03-09
good quality
good stuff
a lil big
you can not put it in you pocket
you can get a smaller one with the same brand name
- Great Protection
By A2MIVPB5N0NUA3 on 2008-04-05
This case is solidly built. The Canon G9 fits inside like a glove. I think this case gives much more protection than a LowePro case I previously had.
- This is a silly design
By A3DV50PIBC3YL4 on 2008-06-12
It is made with nice leather. But the design is silly: it has a top lid that could have been made a little longer to fasten to the front of the case. It hase also another lid that hinges on the bottom front and covers the front and the top, which are already covered by the main case and the lid that I first mentioned. Complicated for no reason. Adds more weight than necessary.

- OK but not as good as the Japanese model
By A11NR4AJK9TNQM on 2008-06-24
There is a much better case available in Japan - made by Canon for the G9. This case is fine but it doesn't attach to the camera so it is either on or off. The Japanese version attaches to the tripod mount and can remain attached to the camera while you are using the camera - more practical and much better looking - kind of retro. To me it looks like something you would expect to see on an old Leica range finder camera.
Anyway the PSC-5000 is not a bad case - just not the best case for the G9.
- Above all else protect the Camera
By A1RM5X25NPHGIW on 2007-07-29
There isn't much to say except you need to protect your camera period. Hard cases or semi-hard is the only way to go for a camera case. I broke my last camera "believing" it was hard enough to take extra pressure. It wasn't and thus I splurged on the G7 and this case! A costly mistake, but i'm pleased with my G7 and this case. I'll be more careful this time.
- case for canon G9 and G7
By A7PCF7HC3HALY on 2007-11-03
very good quality,good looking,i love it ,fits very very nice,it just made for your G7,or G9.
- Canon For Sure
By AHTX68LNGXD6W on 2007-11-18
As usual Canon does it again, this case covers and protects the G9 as it was meant to do. Short-comings?, of course, what does'nt?, a bit small to fit the Canon G9 & neck strap in at the same time, but I'll still give it 5 Stars.
- Canon PSC-5000 Semi-Hard Leather Case for the Canon G9
By A13LADLG3VFUW3 on 2007-11-18
Several months ago I decided to purchase Canon G9 camera and PSC-500 case in one order to protect my investment from the get-go.
Camera fits snag in the case and goes easy in and out from the top side. Two flaps interlock encompassing camera for a good protection from elements and occasional bumps. Case looks inconspicuous and color coordinated with G9 camera. Sturdy leather provides look and feel of a quality product. Case has a cute small detachable side pouch for batteries and memory cards with a flap on magnetic lock. In my opinion, only magnetic lock does not hold secure enough to trust valuables to it. In other hand, the camera compartment equipped with two locks: magnetic and long Velcro strip. To me, Velcro there is overkill; it produces a loud noise attracting attention every time I pull the camera out. To my liking, I'd rater see a Velcro strip aiding to a pouch lock. It could be my own opinion; nobody raised these issues in earlier reviews. To summarize: this case does its job of holding and protecting camera, it is a good value for the money.
- Good hard case.
By A1RP7URP6DAMTA on 2007-11-24
A little bit bulky but protecs the camera very well. It is not practical to open when you need to use the camera quickly but the built quality is good.
