Panasonic DMW-CX12K (Black)

How not to carry your pocket-sized camera

Professional photographers carry lots of stuff (additional lenses, spare batteries, extra memory cards, and sometimes even a cell phone, ID, and cash) in their camera bags. All this makes for pretty good size bag, usually with a shoulder strap. Hobby photographers, or off duty pros, get by with a self-contained point-and-shoot camera. Ads for these compact cameras are fond of saying they're small enough to fit in your pocket or purse; and while that's true enough, you might not want to keep your camera there. People also keep other items like keys, coins, and pens in their pockets and purses, any of which can do damage to your camera. Panasonic doesn't want you to take chances with your Lumix digital camera. They make the DMWCX12K black nylon carrying case especially for the FX series cameras. So when you're not actually using your camera to take stunning photos, slide it into this top-loading case with convenient belt loop and detachable wrist strap. Keep it away from the camera-destroying objects lurking in your pocket or purse.
