Lowepro Ridge 60 Digital Camera Bag - A point and shoot camera bag.

So many point and shoot camera bags are only large enough for you to carry your camera, some extra batteries, and maybe another memory card. Carry all that stuff and you are maxed out for space. What if you have a waterproof digital camera and want to carry something to dry it off with or clean the lens? What if you have a regular point and shoot camera and want to carry your waterproof bag as well? You get the Lowepro Ridge 60 Digital Camera Bag, thats what you do.

The Lowepro Ridge 60 Digital Camera Bag is for the “serious point and shoot user.” It is slightly bigger than the average point and shoot camera bag, but it offers that extra room you need. With the Lowepro Ridge 60 Digital Camera Bag you can carry your camera, batteries, extra memory card, and even some other essentials like a waterproof bag, cords, or lens cloths.

Another nice feature of the Lowepro Ridge 60 Digital Camera Bag is its ability to switch from a shoulder strap system to hooking in to your belt. You can quickly detach the shoulder strap and store it in the camera bag so that you can wear it on your belt.
