That's the bag I keep my Canon S3 IS in. It's 7 inches (18 cm) high, 4.5 inches (11.5) wide, and 4 inches (10 cm) deep with the camera inside. Also inside is a pack of four batteries (flat across the bottom) and in the pocket are spare cards. The camera goes in with the grip at the top and the lens pointing away from me. That's it. There is nothing else to carry. That set up is good for more than 1100 pictures. I could fit a second pack of batteries in there too if I tried.

The two zippers go all the way to the bottom and there are pieces of fabric that prevent it from opening too far. So access is really easy. It has a velcro strap that hangs it on my belt (I never use the shoulder strap). It's a TRAX TCP 03 and cost about $10 at Best Buy.
