How best to protect your new camera -
Pouches - Useful to protect the LCD screen from scratches in a bag or pocket. These come in a variety of sizes and materials, so choose one thats fits the camera and your wardrobe. Some models will have an extra pocket for a spare battery or memory card and the option of a strap so it may be carried over the shoulder or on a belt via the loop on the back. |
| Bags - Come in a variety of sizes to fit a small compact camera or an SLR camera, several lenses, a flash and lots of accessories. The benefit of a bag is space to carry spare battery and memory card, perhaps a charger, computer, leads etc etc. So you can see how it is possible to end up with a cupboard full of different size bags. Your collection may grow with the amount of photographic kit you accumulate. Some people may prefer to have a bag that does not look like a camera bag for security reasons, so check out Billinghams range. |  | Backpacks - As the name suggests these look very much like the devices used by hikers, but with one major difference the interior of a specialist camera backpack is devided up into lots compartments design specifically for photographic kit. So these are great for photographic travellers. Again they come in different sizes so hook out all your kit and decide which model fits the bill ( or kit ). Lowepro are probably the leaders here. |  |
