National Geographic Earth Explorer Medium Camera Belt Pouch, for Point & Shoot Cameras with Media Accessories

I like to have my camera with me at all times, "just in case"... so I very much like the fact that all of the National Geographic camera pouches, including this one, can be worn as a belt pack or over the shoulder with its strap. I also like the "look" of these pouches very much; I think the look is far "cooler" or "classier" than the typical black vinyl/plastic camera case. I have purchased several of these pouches, in various sizes for several cameras, and I have found them all to be very high quality, very durable, and nicely padded, so they provide excellent protection for the camera. I have two of this particular size, and I use them with a Canon SX130 IS and an Olympus 35 RC film camera. I have another which I use with a Canon SD980 IS. National Geographic makes many sizes of these pouches, so I suggest that you check the measurements of your camera, and if available, check the INSIDE dimensions of the National Geographic pouch so you can select the correct size for your camera.

I bought one of these pouches a couple of years ago to use with an Olympus 35RC rangefinder camera, and I liked it right away; it is very well-designed and nicely padded, and I think it does a nice job of protecting the camera. The price is extremely reasonable, and in my personal opinion, it is very cool looking. I have just purchased another one to use with a Canon SX130IS digital camera, and find the extra pockets very useful for carrying an extra set of batteries and spare memory cards. The pouch is a bit bulky when worn as a belt pack, but since I carry the SX130IS with me everywhere, it isn't a problem; under some conditions it's easier to use the shoulder strap, and it's nice to have both options.
