I just ordered an HF-10 from eBay. I am looking for a case for it. I came across the Canon FC-20 shown here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B001E42NCO/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance Does anyone here use this case? I am going to buy the BP-819 extended battery and need to know if the added length on the battery will allow the camera to fit inside the case or not with it on. Also, is there any extra room inside the case that would be enough to carry the standard battery as well? I am trying to go with this case because it seems to be the smallest I have found online.
Thanks

Look back in the owner's thread about a page for some thoughts on the FC-20. Basically,the FC-20 is a decent choice if all you're looking for is a case that will hold ONLY the camera; yes, it will hold it with the BP-819 attached, but there's not room for a BP-809 as well (or anything else for that matter). If you want to stay in that same basic size range (i.e. as small as possible) and still have room for a couple of accessories, I've had good luck with the Tamrac Model 5692, Digital 2 Bag (http://www.tamrac.com/5692.htm). Here are some pics with my HF-10:

Thanks for the pictures of the Tamrac 5692 and HF10. That's exactly what I was looking for... It seems like they "updated" the design little bit since I used one with my Canon S3 IS.
I am planning to order this from Amazon, but all the pictures they have under 5692 are either different bags or older versions. The only right one seems to be the "blue" version of 5692. Where did your order yours?
Cheers!

Bought it from Norman Camera down the street. They have a pretty robust web business, though, too, so check out normancamera.com They should have it.

I bought the black one from amazon and the picture listed is incorrect. There is no zipper. It's a velcro+buckle opening. Great bag! Less bulky yet more protective than the rezo 60.
