Since I have bought myself a while ago, the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS, of course I needed a matching bag to carry and protected from dust, etc. to keep the camera safe. At first I could not find a special case for the SX40 HS. But as it turned out when comparing the dimensions of the SX30 IS and SX40 HS that these are absolutely the same size, I opted for the soft case. It looks quite wertig, especially with the little PowerShot metal logo on the front of the bag. There are several small pockets exist where spare batteries (in case the SX40 HS is a replacement Li-Io battery) or memory cards can be stored. The camera is m. E. well protected and must - if the soft packed Case - sometimes received a blow, without being damaged. However, would a little more space in the main compartment of advantage. Although the camera fits into, rather scarce. A bit more space would not have hurt, especially since it then with the strap is a bit tight. This one would like of course not solve every time and fix it later on the camera ... Nevertheless, the place is not so scarce that you have trouble closing the pocket. Therefore, everything is still in the frame. To protect the camera point 5 star, but since the case is sized a little short and visually does not look very nice, but in the development apparently mainly the usefulness was at the forefront, there are in the standings only 4 stars.
Note: According to this packaging Soft Case is suitable for: SX1 IS, SX10 IS, SX20 IS, SX30 IS and of course - though not on the packaging - for the SX40 HS, as it has the same dimensions as the SX30 IS.
