Camera Compact Cases/Pouches

Compact Camera Cases

Whether you’re a novice, intermediate, or professional photographer, having the right camera case is essential to not only keeping your camera handy for that perfect photo moment, but also to protect it from the elements and from everyday accidents. There is a wide selection of compact camera cases that are durable enough to protect one of your most valued possessions, and at the same time compact enough to make carrying and travel seamless.

One of the most important attributes you may need when it comes to ease of carrying is a strap. There are several different types of compact camera cases with straps to choose from. You may want a strap that fits snugly around your waist, so you can reach down and easily grab your camera. Or, you may want one that hangs over the shoulder so you’re always hands-free. Another choice is a case with a lanyard type of strap that simply slips around your neck.

Another important attribute when it comes to your camera case is the padding. While you still want your case to be compact enough for carry, you also want enough padding so that your camera isn’t exposed to shocks or become damaged from drops and falls. In addition to compact camera cases with padding, another good idea is to look for a weather-resistant case. If you’re often taking photographs in inclement weather, then weatherproofing is essential.

Compact camera cases often have a black colour, but there are plenty of other colours available should you like something bright or cheerful, or want to coordinate it with your other accessories or luggage. In addition to straps, padding, and weatherproofing, you may want to look for camera cases, bags, and covers that have an outside or inner pocket for other accessories. In lieu of a strap, a camera compact case with a clip is also a sound idea.

There are also many compact bags that are brand specific. If you want an exact fit for your camera, this may be a good option to choose. Brand-specific cases will also have the other options you’re in search of, such as a strap, padding, and weatherproofing. Look for cases that fit models made by Fuji, Olympus, Leica, Canon, and more.
