Cases, Bags and Covers for Nikon COOLPIX

Case Picks for the Nikon COOLPIX

Some people like to take their Nikon COOLPIX cameras with them on every adventure. A case or bag designed just for digital cameras will help keep COOLPIX cameras safe and ready to go.

Any case that youre going to trust your Nikon with should incorporate the following features.

• Padded interior
• Tough exterior materials that dont absorb water
• Secure zippers or other fasteners
• Sturdy straps

A camera case may be made of rigid materials or softer, flexible materials. Carbon fiber and leather are typical choices for hard cases. They can be molded to fit a particular model of Nikon COOLPIX closely, reducing the chance that it will rattle around inside the case.

Nylon, neoprene, and silicone are all used for soft cases. Theyre all flexible, and neoprene and silicone have built-in stretch. This may let you use the same case for different COOLPIX models.

Pockets can make a surprising difference in how convenient your camera bag is for the way you want to use it. The smallest cases have no pockets. They are just big enough to slip in the camera. If you wont be using your Nikon enough to run the battery down, this is a compact carrying option.

Mid-size cases have inside and outside pockets. Some of the pockets may be mesh, which lets you see exactly where that particular accessory is. Pockets let you keep a charger, an extra battery, and a couple of extra memory cards. The largest bags are the backpack or shoulder bag style. They have padded dividers that can be used for a lens, a meter, or a second Nikon. They may have multiple compartments that open with separate zippers.

Nikon COOLPIX bags come with a variety of strap options. The smallest cases may only have a carabiner to clip onto a belt or pack. Mid-size cases typically have a belt loop and a removable shoulder strap. The loops on the shoulder strap hooks to can be used to attach a carabiner.

Larger cases that are designed to hold more weight usually have a hand grip on top and a shoulder strap or backpack-style straps. Look for padded straps for extra comfort. When youre considering a camera case, think about where and how youll be carrying your camera and how many accessories youll want to take with you.

The traditional color for camera bags is black. There are many sizes and styles of cases in this classic color. If youre thinking about a leather case, you can find black as well as rich shades of brown.

Neoprene and silicone cases open up your color choices. You can find red, turquoise, yellow, and white. These colors are fun, and they also make your COOLPIX easier to find in the jumble of gear in your beach bag.
