the G9 is a dinky little camera but somewhat vulnerable on its own thrown in a bag or pocket. What wallet, pouch, bag are you using? I like Crumpler but they have all kinds and too confusing. Any other nice options?

I have found that the LowePro 'D-RES 8' is an ideal fit for the camera and has an internal pocket for one spare SD card in its plastic case. I already had one of these that I use to protect my Tom-Tom sat nav, and I tried to get another for the G9. It doesn't seem to be available any more. I've now got a Samsonite Trekking DF10 which is a similar good fit for the G9. Both have shoulder straps (removable), and a belt loop which is how I use them.

Cheers ... and welcome. I see how they would work fine. I have always found LowePro and similar a bit boring tho'. I like attractive design that is also functional. I'm thinking maybe a Crumpler is the way to go. More a sleeve or pouch style than a bag.

LowePro D-PODS 50. Best for the G9.

1. Made of Neoprene ( wetsuit material) waterproof, cushioning ( an SD-550 in a D-PODS 20 once fell 6 feet to a granite floor in Grand Central station with NO damage)

2. No zipper to scratch the camera and a velcro flap that gives instant access.

3. 2 storage areas for cards and extra battery.

4. the D-PODS 50 fits the G9 perfectly even with an RRS L bracket on it.

The Crumpler is great... but it's narrower top does not absolutely seal rain out from above like the LP. Also I like the non-discript look of the D-PODS as it attracts less attention.:D

Nah, don't fancy that one either ;-)a Seems I'll have to go to a proper SHOP! Dontcha just hate that? I want a zippy case like the Crumpler Gimp for laptops. Don't like that RRS one either.

LowePro Apex 100 AW is a great fit with the LensMate adapter & a filter attached, plus room for extra batteries, another filter, mem cards and even a small cleaning kit. If you don't mount a LensMate or Canon adapter, the Apex 60 AW is an excellent choice.

Both come with built in rain covers. www.lowepro.com (external link).

I think SC-DC55A is pricey, but since it stays on my camera, I am getting my money's worth out of it. I find it just so handy to use. The lens remains protected, I can't tell how many times I grabbed the camera before getting the case and somehow got a thumbprint on the lens.

ooh, very nice! So much better than the one they've released in the U.S. I had to go to ebay to find one but I just ordered it. Thanks :)
