Bags for compact cameras

Bags for compact cameras come in a wide variety of designs. Since you don't usually need to carry interchangeable lenses with you for a compact camera and you don't necessarily need spare batteries for most cameras of this type when you're out and about, due to their relatively long battery life, you can concentrate on the design as well as a few other important factors when deciding what to buy. High-quality compact camera bags are also weatherproof and offer special protection against dust and dirt thanks to specially processed seams. However, the demands on a compact camera bag are very different - take a look at our range, we are sure to have the right model for you!

Compact cameras when travelling

Compact cameras certainly have fewer technical refinements and functions than SLR or system cameras. But they have one decisive advantage: they are small and therefore incredibly practical to handle. Especially when travelling, this can be a decisive factor in a purchase decision. The cameras fit into any jacket pocket, trouser pocket or handbag and still produce photos in perfect quality for private use. But the cameras are not only popular for travelling: compact cameras are also often the first choice for concerts, smaller hikes and excursions. Even ambitious photographers like to fall back on this model again and again when it is simply not suitable to take a larger camera with them and important moments are still to be captured.

The optimal bag for your compact camera

Compact cameras also want to be well protected both on the road and when stored at home. There are several models of bags. In muted colours or very colourful, in retro style or classically chic, to hang around your neck or simply put in your pocket. Which model is best for you is largely a matter of taste. However, apart from an attractive design, your bag should also meet a few other criteria. In order not to negate the advantages of small compact cameras, the bag should have as low a tare weight as possible. That way, it won't be a nuisance on longer hikes or excursions. It should also have a sturdy casing that can absorb shocks and falls with ease. The inside of the bag should be softly padded. Some bags also have a provision for storing spare batteries and removable memory cards. If you want to carry some spare parts for your camera for safety, you should look for such a device on your camera bag.

Some models are also water- and dirt-repellent. This can be particularly advantageous when travelling, hiking or doing other outdoor activities, but is not necessarily essential, as the small bags can easily be stowed in a handbag or backpack. In this way, they are usually already sufficiently protected from moisture and other environmental influences. In addition, some bags have detachable shoulder straps. This additional gadget can be quite practical. For particularly quick access to the camera, some bags can also be attached to the wrist or to the belt.

Price-performance ratio

Finally, the price-performance ratio of a compact camera bag should also be right. To recognise a good offer, you can, for example, look at the materials used, the workmanship of the seams, the padding and, last but not least, its design. From classic to retro, there is something for every taste in compact camera bags. Foto Erhardt offers you a wide range of compact camera bags.
