I use this belt pouch from Campmor
http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=9143&memberId=12500226&storeId=226&catalogId=40000000226&langId=-1
and I like it.
The one you list sells there also
http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=39224878&memberId=12500226&storeId=226&catalogId=40000000226&langId=-1
for $5.97. It weighs 1.25 oz.
I just wonder if the weight is correct on the one you list and how it attaches.
Wow! Thanks Gator. And its cheaper @ campmor!

I also use the Outdoor Products pouch for my camera. I did add some of that cheap blue close cell foam from Walmart for padding that will protect my camera.

i like to carry my easy-to-gets on my sternum strap in a pouch. i find carrying it at chest level works better for me than on the waste. im working on a custom designed one that i will have someone build me for my at trip.
I've been using the Dana Wet Rib on my Osprey pack for a couple of years. Here is a review of it -

keeps water, camera, snacks, etc. handy.
I bought two camera bags at walmart for 99 cents each--they aren't deluxe, but they have a loop that you can thread the hip stabilizer belt through. I have one on each side, one for snacks and some tissue, and one for the camera.

wow, that is light. and i guess you like it? really keeps things dry?
I like the size (it holds quite a bit), it keeps things dry, has separate pockets for organizing the small stuff, and it is generally comfortable.
The things I don't like is that the top flops a little forward and it can be hot (although most waist bags are going to be hot).

I think the JanSport Fifth Avenue Waistpack with 150 in*3 at 4 oz. ($10.00 at REI (http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=47994369&parent_category_rn=4500631&vcat=REI_SEARCH)) may be a reasonable alternative.
