Summary: Cheap in every way
Review: Yes, this case is inexpensive. But how much would it have cost the manufacturer to sew a shoulder strap onto this case? It does have a sturdy, sewn belt loop strap on the back, but I don't wear belts, so when I take my camera with me, I either have to hold it or put it in my purse/backpack. This is so inconvenient where cameras are concerned, because it takes too long to fish the camera out of the purse/backpack. By the time you're finally ready to point and shoot, that once-in-a-lifetime moment you so desperately wanted to capture is long gone.

The insulation, by the way, is also crap. There's no real padding on the side of the case, leaving your camera vulnerable. The velcro flap is easy to open, but should you want to put, say, four spare batteries in the front pocket, the flap barely closes and now your impractical case has become bulky as well.

Incidentally, the velcro flap offers poor protection, leaving rather large gaps on each side of the opening, plenty big enough for odds and ends to creep in and lodge themselves into your camera.

Canon makes such lovely cameras...but the guy in charge of camera case R&D should be reassigned.
