WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE A CAMERA CASE?

WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE A CAMERA CASE?

Why do I recommend a cover for the camera? Because I have seen and lived in my own skin as the main problem of amateur photographers and photographers, and enthusiasts, is the excess of equipment. Yes, don't get me wrong, I don't say you don't have to have a good team if you plan to take advantage of it, but I do think you have to be very clear about what we are going to use on each occasion. Is it always worth taking the super backpack with toooodo the photographic material I have? At the beginning it is difficult for us to select. In general, selecting is an art, (especially select our photos ). Inexperience makes no we dare to leave home without all porsiacasos imaginable.

Do you need everything?
I take the flash by case , all the objectives by case , the tripod by case , the laptop by case , and thus a long list. The experience will gradually become more minimalist and learn to know what is essential. Maybe all the material you have is essential because you are going to cover awedding , or because you are going to photograph Northern Lights or make a fashion session. But in general, what is essential is you, your camera, a battery, a memory card and a lens. Nothing else. Seriously, nothing more. For the simple mortal who just wants to practice and take pictures, that's enough.

WHY A CAMERA CASE?

Well, I speak from my own experience and I suppose that I am not the only one who has gone through this process, because I have seen it in many other amateur photographers and photographers. Carrying all the material on top made me lazy to take pictures. At the beginning I carried everything there was and to do. Then since I didn't want to carry everything, I just didn't carry anything. I didn't take pictures, I was lazy. Everything weighed too much. I finally concluded that, in my case, I needed nothing more than my camera, my fixed optics, a battery and a spare card. Nothing else. And so, I did notice that the laziness of always hanging out with the camera disappeared . In that eagerness to simplify my life, I did not carry a backpack, only my camera with the lens mounted, so, hung in any way;). I put it in my bag when I got tired, and walking. And of course, it's not a plan either. Minimalism yes, equipment protection too So I concluded that I should protect my computer, but at the same time feel light. I already had a backpack, what I really wanted was just to protect my camera, so I came to the conclusion that what I needed was a camera case.

ADVANTAGE

For me, the advantages are clear: they are very light, they protect the equipment from bumps, dust, moisture, rain (if they are waterproof), scratches, etc. They have, for the most part, room for a battery and a memory card. In some cases some more space for a filter, keys or mobile. Like everything in photography, you have many models;). You don't have to scratch your pocket too much to have one; You can get a good case at a very good price (then I leave some recommendations ). In addition, taking out the camera is an agile gesture, the covers are simple, open easily, and allow us to remove the camera without difficulty. In short, they are ideal if you want to go out to take light or light photos, but without risking the equipment.

DISADVANTAGES

Go ahead that I don't think the case should replace a good backpack. Rather I think they are complementary. Most photographers, before specializing in something, we love to disrupt different disciplines and try new things. That is why we usually have equipment for more than one photographic style. Rarely, if our pocket allows, we are left with only one type of lens or without a tripod, or without a good flash.
Sometimes a cover will not be enough for us
There will be days that you really need to carry a good backpack with you, where there will be no place for minimalism because it would mean the failure of the photographic output. It is clear that a photographic cover would not meet such an output.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD CASE FOR YOUR CAMERA?

  • If we talk about protecting, try to make the case waterproof
  • Have space for a memory card and a battery
  • Check that it is compatible with your camera type
  • Make sure the size is enough to have your larger target mounted
  • Try to find a resistant material (nylon, neoprene, skin ...)
  • It is highly recommended that the camera does not dance inside the case, but that it is well adjusted to it
  • Ideally, you have handles to hang it, not all carry, although most

CONCLUSIONS

Although a case I do not think I should replace a good backpack where to transport all the material you may need on certain occasions, I do think it is complementary to it. A case allows you to get light luggage, which encourages the desire to take the camera with you, encourages you to practice, takes away the excuses for laziness and, at the same time, allows you to protect the equipment from surprises such as rain or sand, or classics as scratched. In addition, it does not require a high outlay, so for my part, it is a safe recommendation;).
