This bag is well made and of high quality material. It adapts well to the G12. That was then already the positive properties. On the product photo looked the bag, as if you can open it to take out the camera. Unfortunately the is not so. Canon used herein have the same construction as impractical in the SLR. The bag consists of two halves, the lower is screwed to the camera. The shell is secured thereto with three snaps. Each battery or card is inserted, this base needs to be unscrewed in order to access the battery / card compartment has. In practice, one is faced with the following problem: If you want to you have to remove the top part photograph; But where then that? (Pocket, jacket pocket, backpack?) You want to have both hands free yes. After photographing the the upper part must then be draufgeclippt again to protect the camera. That's very inconvenient and impractical! Canon could sometimes even better: The older Canon A-series (A60 to A95) gabs a belt pouch made of a neoprene-like material; hanging on a belt loop above had a wide flap with Velcro closure. If you have the camera required a sufficient grip and the bag was on and you could remove the in edgewise mating end camera and also store just as quickly. The neoprene Similar Matreial and the Velcro is now after 10 years is still in top condition and functional! Especially if you have a G12 used in addition to a reflex as a second camera, such a belt bag would be many times more practical than the SC-DC65A. The SC-DA65A is good in principle only when the camera stored until the next holiday in the cabinet so that nothing comes off.
