case for hf s100 I'm planning on buying this camcorder for a family trip coming up soon. Any suggestions on a (easy carry to go thru airport, etc) case that would work good with this camcorder for a trip???I will probably be carrying a couple 827 battery's, stand alone charger, a flash card wallet, external mic...and maybe possible travel tripod (but probably will put this on my checked bag). So lots of room is a plus! Main thing is that i want bag that will keep the $1000 camcorder secure. I was looking at this official canon one...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001CXRXY Any suggestions from people who already own the camcorder???Thanks any suggestions/help! case for hf s100 I'm planning on buying this camcorder for a family trip coming up soon.

I use a Sony LCS-CXA holster style case so I can perform a "quick draw" immediately as I see the opportunity. I either attach the case to my belt or hang from straps around my neck. The case is a suitable size and rigid enough with moderate padding. I keep other essential items in another random bag or pack I travel with. I will probably use a coiled pistol lanyard to prevent theft. Yes, experienced thieves are capable of stealing anything on your person!

I ended up taking my camera to the local Best Buy and physically trying various cases until I found one that fit.I ended up getting a Lowepro Edit 110 Camcorder Bag which does the job adequately.It fits alright and has some extra compartments to store batteries and stuff.

Have you looked at the Panasonic TM 700K? This is the best video and smallest camcorder around for less than $1000. Flash recording is the way to go for Battery consumption. Would not go into the hard drive versions regardless of the brand

Found the perfect case at Circuit City. Made by Case Logic and fits the S5 like a glove. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Case-Logic-Camera-Camcorder-Bag-Black-SLCC-1/sem/rpsm/oid/145928/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Model #: CLC SLCC1

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

What's that quote? "Well THERE'S YER PROBLEM!" Good luck. I have used 4 generations of cases from canon and they are all excellent performers. Funny I have 2 S110 cases lying around the house if you ever want one.

I saw another recommendation here from cutecamcase. I bought one and it's AWESOME fits the LX3 like a glove. I also ordered a battery from this site..but they sent me a used one (Seems to be an honest error). I am suppose to be getting a replacement. In any case, THE case, from this site is really high quality..fits great...and is brand new. I am very happy with it..check it out, a bit pricey..but it's really a quality case MADE for the LX3.http://www.cutecamcase.com/panasonic_case_lx3.html

The Amazon case works best for me. I like the layout of 4 discs per page rather than only 2 and I don't need the additional pockets that it looks like the TekNmotion has. The Amazon case size works better for me in the space I am storing them in also. I've not seen the TekNmotion case in person. It looks like a decent case...just depends on your preference. I would pick the TekNmotion case for the car or travel perhaps.

I don't own either but I'd think that if she needs camera and video that the Canon camera is the way to go. Who would want to carry both a camera and a flip? They both shoot in 720p HD. But this camera is much smaller, has a bigger screen, is easier to carry than the flip and it has image stabization.

The camera itself fits in the case, but it is very small and will not fit the charger and the rest of the stuff...I generally use that case for travel (it is very convenient) and put batteries in the front pouch...there isn't really room for much else. If you want to bring other stuff you will need a bigger case.

Well, I'm a bit confused. Some people are saying this case doesn't fit the 870 and others are saying it does. I would venture to say that if a person had to think about whether it fits or not, it probably doesn't. But I haven't seen one first hand. Also, are there multiple cases being reviewed? I've read about both velcro and magnetic closures. Is there another case that fits the 870 better? Currently I'm using a worn out grey suede zippered powershot case that was marketed for the old Elph S100/110 cameras.

I am not sure about this case, but I can recommend the case logic DCB-302 Compact camera case for the SX260 HS. It fits the camera perfectly along with an SD Card. I think it could hold a spare battery as well.

love it - perfect midrange camera to play with until the next generation cams come out in a year or 2.Yes - you can go with teh HFS 100 for only about 400 more. but why would you when technology changes so fast?Next year I will but the HFS100 equivalent for 200 bucks (using the 400 i just saved)Always go mid-range folks - do NOT be a measurebator and get stuck in the weeds.

I would get a good SD card for video high quality. I found the charger cord for the battery very cumbersome so I bought a plug in charger, small you slip the battery in and very easy and when charged back to the video camera. I also bought a case much easier to carry and hold all you need

For whatever it's worth, if you own any reasonably recent Canon product, you can register it online at the Canon website and get a 15% off priority code valid on the Canon online store. So, with some work you should be able to get 15% off the price of the HF S100. Canon's a reputable company :-) and I think Amazon's asleep at the switch here.Check out: https://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=OnlineRegIndex1Act&source;=04

I recently purchased this camera kit. I rated it excellent in quality and function. The battery does come with it. I would recommend purchasing a second battery if you plan a lot of "out-back" photography. The battery life is aprox. 5 hours of use. That's more pictures than you memory card..:-) I do NOT recommend the Sony SDHC card included. Go out and purchase a couple of less expensive smaller cards and save them over to your computer often. My Sony SDHC failed on the second day. I've reformated it but don't trust it. The case included will not hold everything. You'll want a larger case to hold the camera and both lens'. I found an excellent Nikon case at Best Buy for around $70.00. I'm sure you can find one on Amazon for a better price... but it's hard to tell if everything will fit without seeing it. HAVE fun and capture those moments.
