Camera bag for kids that will fit a A570IS?

Hello all,

I'm on the hunt for a camera bag that kids will be happy to have, but I won't feel like I spent $$$ on a $0.02 item just because it has a picture of Hanna Montana on it.

I am giving my stepdaughter, nieces, and nephews Canon A570IS cameras for Christmas this year. They are small enough to carry, have a grip that is easy for small hands to handle, has IS and some manual controls, and I found them on clearance at Sears for $63. I'd like to give them camera cases to go with the camera because if I don't, they (or their parents) may not buy one, and while it is a nice camera, it definitely isn't as well built as more expensive cameras.

Most of the camera bag reviews I've found are for DSLRS, so frankly, they may not appeal to children. The kids range from 7 to 11 years old. Any suggestions? Thank you!

you could go to best buy, and just have a look around.. they have a ton there. but that is really nice of you to buy them all cameras for christmas. your smart. your getting it done early.

When I ordered my Kata bags from an online photo bag store about three years ago, I got these Crumpler bags for free. While you won't get these for free anymore, I thought you might want to get these for the kids as I think they'll love it. I gave them to my boys for their small p&s cameras:

I lucked out and found these Mountainsmith camera bags at REI Outlet.

I ordered the powder blue ones. They're cute and fit the camera perfectly. Plus they were $8.

I would have loved to give them Crumpler bags, but the Mountainsmith ones seem to be fine. I'm a Crumpler fan myself.

Thanks!

I was at a local REI about a week ago, and I didn't see these. Hey, these are better looking than the Crumpler and cheaper. You did very good. I'd say it's a perfect gift for young kids needing a camera bag.
