Go to a good camera store and try out a few different models. I like a case that slides onto my belt, has some padding or cushioning, and a pocket for an extra battery, an extra SD card, and a cleaning kit. If a case is too tight, and the lens accidentally opens inside the case, the lens drive can be damaged. A loose fitting case with padding and cushioning is the safest.

I am looking for a small camera case, small that will fit the ZS40. Most are just too big. Surprised that no one seems to have a small nice leather case for the ZS40!

The camera will be a snug fit in the case, but you won't be able to also include a spare battery or SD card. It's a well made case for the camera only.

Your right about ruggedness, but you also want to protect this excellent camera. I bought a generic bag that fit on my belt. Its small and goes in tackle box, backpack, where ever . gives you some protection. And I put lines cloth on lenses when packing. Have fun.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I did buy the Lowepro Rezo 110 AW and it is indeed a perfect fit. Enough room to accomodate accesories - extra batteries, memory card etc. Not too big, Not too small. This is a perfect bag for Canon Powershot SX10 IS indeed!

I just bought a SD870IS. It was a little snug the first time I put the camera in the case, but after a day the camera fits perfectly into the case. Great case. No room for other items but buy a 2G card and battery lasts a long time. No need to pack anything else.CAC

I think that the previous answer gives all the important dimensional info. I consider this to be a great case for the money. I use it for my P510. I carry the camera, battery charger, manuals, 2 spare batteries, and a "mini tripod. Still some room left... I could probably fit in a spare lens... but I bought the P510 so I wouldn't have to lug another lens around.

Does this case fit SD1200IS Cannon Power Shot. It looks like the case I got with camera when purchased?

I bought a tamrac brand case. You should be able to find a case in a well-stocked camera store. Take your camera along. My case has a small zipper compartment for an extra battery or two and SD camera cards. It has served me well on several international trips as well as "around the house."

I got the Case Logic SLMC-200 Compact Systems Camera Case (Black) and like it a lot. I wanted a case I could easily carry around.

I bought the Case Logic TBC-402 for my Elph 130 IS. Later I bought the Case Logic DCB 302 for my Powershot SD 400. Both cameras are the same size. I like the DCB case better. It has a long strap which the TBC does not. Front section can store an SD card and extra battery. It also has a belt loop. Great cases for the money. GReat price if you buy other things from Amazon ($4-$5).

It's a tight fit and it seems one way is best for putting the camera inside. Once the case is broken in however it's not a problem.

This bag does fit that camera but it is a little loose. You can find it at Best Buy and try it yourself. It's a little too roomy for my preference. There is room in the bag if you have an attached shoulder strap. My mom bought the LCS-CSJ camera bag and it snugly fits the H20 as well as my H10. There isn't enough room for the camera if you put a shoulder strap on the camera.

Hi Buying this water proof case depends on what your trying to do with it. If you are just trying to protect the camera from water it might fit in you have a large camera. If you have a long lens it will not fit. At the time I bought this item I had a Fuji S3 pro which is about the same size and it barely fit in. I wanted to take pictures on a rubber dingy but I couldn't move the lens to focus nor could I see through the view finder. I believe it is water tight because they do sell quite a few of them. For what my needs were this item did not work for me.

It was recommended when purchasing my Canon Powershot SX260HS. My camera is pretty compact so was surprised when the case was smaller! Oh and i wanted to see if it would fit my DROID 4 phone and the case is still too small. Oh and I also own a Nikon 9100 and it doesnt fit either. This case is too small. You cannot zipper it because the camera sticks out. Amazon did refund me.

Since everyone answered the question...I carry my camera in a cushioned make-up bag. I wanted something lightweight w/easy access. It's a great camera and my friends w/big DSLRs always marvel at it. However I just saw a Samsung point and shoot that's the size of a P & S but w/the lens as big as a DSLR. That looked promising.
