BAGS, CASES AND STRAPS
Camera bags or cases, along with straps, can be a welcome addition to your camera accessory inventory. Cameras and lenses, flashes and memory cards, are all susceptible to bumps, drops, or bad weather. The best protection is in the use of bags, cases, or straps.
There are a large amount of camera cases and bags. The basic designs available are those cases that offer foam padding and snap or zipper enclosures such as those produced by Case Logic, Canon, and Sony products. These come with durable, weather resistant exteriors and padded interiors with mesh enclosure for memory card storage.
Larger, more extravagant camera bags are on the market such as the Hi-Pro line and the Nikon FB-5. Available in hard or soft case, these bags offer several compartments so that you are able to carry not only your camera, but also multiple lenses and accessories. These are weather resistant bags, making it a perfect choice for any day.
The straps come in various sizes for various needs. Included are the Nikon Hand Straps that are cushioned grips that wrap around your hands with adjustable, secure mounts. This can provided extra comfort when holding your camera. Other straps available include the lanyard and wide straps. The wide ‘hippie” straps fit around your neck or shoulder for ease of comfort and the lanyard can either be hand-held or wrap around your neck or shoulder, allowing for easy adjustment for any photography you might pursue.
