Digital Photo Tips

Recently, I bought a camera bag. Or rather, my hubby bought it because if I am asked about it, I think I will prefer a smaller bag. The one I have is from Australia and it has a laptop compartment and a camera bag all into one.

With all the paddings, it become one huge kick butt, heavy and hot burden. It will be useful when we travel out of town because I normally bring my laptop and camera along. However, I personally find it too big for my liking if I am to cart it around. I kept bumping into things because of the bulk of it.

Then again, I also dislike the bag that came together with my Nikon DSLR because it spells ‘camera bag, expensive stuffs inside, snatch thieves, take a look’. You know….camera bags that look like camera bags are asking for trouble because it becomes a prime target for thieves.

So, my friend told me to get a less flashy bag that not only store camera and its lens safely, it should look normal so that it doesn’t attract much attention. This is especially so when I am carrying the almost $7K worth of camera and lens alone. I am not like a 6 footer with burly arms and hence, easy target for snatch thieves.

There are several varieties of camera case and it is a must to get at least one very reliable one as our lens and cameras are so expensive. Things to look out for are the paddings, zips, materials, whether it is waterproof or not and even the straps. You certainly do not want to drop the bag due to a broken strap.

Naneupro is one of the brand of camera case on the market. Do take a look at them on the link provided. I do wish they produce the bags in pink! I have an olive coloured bag right now and I hate the colour.
