Mine arrived today. I think it's going back. Seems too small for my A70. The large grip does not fit into the case. If you close the top with the zipper at the largest point, it barely makes it over the zoom buttom, and it seems to smash it into the "zoom out" position, which I don't think is good for the switch over a long period of time. The shooting mode wheel gets spun when I pull the camera out, too. Plus, I'm afraid the zipper will scratch the camera as it is so tightly wrapped around the casing.

On the other hand, the construction and design are fantastic. I'm going to look for another CaseLogic case at the store. Nice padding and tough materials.

Hm. My A70 fits all the way into the case, and the zipper does not touch the camera at all. The shooting wheel and the zoom rocker do get spun a bit when I put it in and when I take it out of the case, but not badly and not always, particularly if I am careful.

This post was misleading.
I bought the bag for my S200. It fits snuggly.
I would imagine it would be waaayyy too tight for the A70 to fit.
But I'm happy :)

I bought this from CompUSA when I tried to return the CaseLogic one that is a bit too small. So far, so good. I wish there was a little more velcro contact in front, but it'll do. Before we go hiking in the fall, I'm going to have to search a little more to find one like the case logic that's just a tad bigger. I liked that it could go on the belt.

BTW, these aren't returnable to B&M stores. They don't carry them.
