I just received a Canon SD500 as a gift and wanted to make sure that it would stay safe. It was way too small for my curent camera bag (a Tamrac 5696), so I went out and found this one at a local store. Its materials seem to be very tough and the padding on the inside (foam and then brushed fabric) are just what I needed to keep the camera itself and the finish on the body safe.I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm only giving it a four, however, because the strap has cheap, plastic connections. I think they should have included all-metal hooks that had 360 spin, so you don't get tangled in the bag. But you can always go out and get a new strap.
