I use a LowePro. Can't remember the model no., but it holds S1 IS, 4xAA
batteries, a couple of CF cards and has a zipped compartment, on the back,
for a PDA. It has belt loops (some sort of quick attach/detach for other
LowePro products) which I don't use and a neck strap, which I do use. Care
is needed when inserting/removing the camera as, depending where one puts
one's thumb, it possible to inadvertently switch the mode - Auto/P/Tv etc.
