gregor_pawlowski Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have recently bought a CANON Powershot A630 and and now I am looking for an appropriate bag to carry it around. I have seen some bundle offers with the CANON DDC-80 bag, but on the CANON website it says that this bag is not for the A630. Unfortunately, the Tamrac website has not yet been updated with the new CANON models, so I don't know which bag to choose. Can anyone recommend a bag or tell me if the A630 fits into the DDC-80 bag?

andy_szeto Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The "Official" Canon bag for the A630 is the PSC-60. It is made of vinyl and can only carry the camera on your belt. I preferred the Tamrac Digital 3 (5693) because it has a shoulder strap, belt loop and a zipper pocket to carry extra memroy and battery. The Digital 2 (5692) may even fit your camera. The Tamrac web site has all their bags and dimension listed. So you can find out which one will fit your camera. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_mitchell3 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I use the Tamrac 5691 with an A640. It is a snug fit but not so much that it is difficult to remove the camera. It has a snap-buckle lid, a front zipper pocket in which you can store 4 AA batteries plus an SD memory card in a protective case, shoulder strap, a hook-and-loop belt strap which also has a snap closure for added security on your belt. The only trouble I have with the snap closure it is difficult to engage with the camera loaded and on your belt. I find I need to secure the snap closure and then put the camera in the case. I have not looked at the 5692 or 5693, they may offer more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_mitchell3 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The Tamrac 5692 might be a better solution than my 5691. The 5692 is slightly wider and deeper, which offers a little bit more ease. The interior height of the 5692 is one-quarter inch less than the 5691 but I don't think that presents a problem. The B&H Photo website recommends the 5692 specifically for the Canon Powershot A610, and the A610/620/630/640 dimensions are quite similar.

bruce_rubenstein___nyc Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I went to B&H with my A630 and like the fit of the Tamrac 5691 better than the 5692. The 5691 is smaller and fits more snuggly without being tight. I wanted a bag that could be worn on a belt and carry an exra card and set of batteries. At first I bought a Lowepro bag (Rezo 50), which was smaller and even a snugger fit, but didn't like how it opened. The Lowepro did have a better, more secure belt loop. My son now has the Lowepro for his A70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregor_pawlowski Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thank you for your help. I think I am going to buy the Tamrac 5629 bag. It seems to perfectly fit my needs and is not too expensive either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
