Lowepro Creates the Courier Series of Bags for Compact Cameras

Big camera bags are great if you're carrying around a pro size DSLR and a massive lens, but if you're shooting with an interchangeable lens compact camera (ILC) like the Sony NEX series, a large bag is overkill.

Lowepro's new Courier series is designed for those that want a slicker, smaller carrying case for their compact cameras. The Courier 70, for example, is made to hold one ILC with an attached 18-55mm lens. You can add on the included lens pouch to add a pancake 16mm lens.

The Courier 80 is able to carry the 18-55mm and 16mm lens , but offers the option to remove the mini-case and simply carry the camera with a 16mm lens attached.

Both cases will be available this month at a price of $39.
