Cases, Bags and Covers for Panasonic LUMIX

Protect Your Panasonic LUMIX With a Stylish, Functional Camera Bag

Whether youre taking pictures of the family or documenting a trip around the world, your Panasonic LUMIX digital camera is ready for action. A camera case helps protect your LUMIX camera and carries the gear you need for that perfect shot.

Many Panasonic cases will fit several models, but you should have your model number handy when you shop. The smaller and more closely fitting the camera case is, the more likely that it will only fit one model series. See the manufacturer site for details about fit.

Rigid cases are most often made of thick leather or a hard synthetic material. They're molded into shapes that are designed to fit a specific range of Panasonic LUMIX cameras. If you like to take your camera along on outdoor adventures, a hard case can help protect it from drops and scrapes.

Soft cases are often made of a synthetic canvas or nylon material. Their shapes are usually less defined, so they have more wiggle room for a variety of Panasonic camera styles. Soft cases are lightweight, and even the small sizes often have pockets for an extra battery pack or charger.

If your Panasonic camera setup includes a telephoto lens, wide-angle lens, hoods, meters, and battery chargers, you can find shoulder bags or backpacks in a selection of sizes. They may be made of leather or a lightweight synthetic. Most have inner dividers to keep your gear isolated into protective cubbyholes. The sizes and configurations of the dividers vary, so take a close look to be sure they are compatible with your equipment.

If you're a photographer on the go and need to access your gear repeatedly throughout the day, you might like a backpack with compartments that can be opened separately. Multiple zippers let you grab that special lens quickly while keeping other gear covered.

There are a variety of carrying options available, including:

• Belt loops: Small cases often have loops to slip your belt through so you can carry the case at your waist.
• Neck straps: Removable neck bands can also be used over the shoulder on a smaller camera case.
• Side loops: Remove the neck strap and use the small loops where the strap attaches to hook on a carabiner.
• Hand grips: Shoulder bags and backpacks have short handles on top for a firm grip.
• Shoulder straps: For on-shoulder bags or backpacks, these let you distribute the weight of a heavy camera case.

Most larger and many smaller LUMIX camera case styles are available in classic black. Some leather options are a rich brown that will weather and age to develop a vintage look with use. You can find small cases for compact Panasonic digital cameras in fun colors like red, purple, turquoise, and pink.
