Top 7 Camera Bags for Digital Point-and-Shoot Cameras

It is important to protect your digital point-and-shoot camera from LCD scratches, dings and other general abuse. A great camera bag can do that. You don't want one that is too big and bulky, but you also need to be sure your camera fits. They can hold all the little extras, too, like batteries and memory cards. Here is a list of the top camera bags for digital point-and-shoot cameras. (Be sure you check the bag's dimensions to be certain your specific camera model will fit).
