Neck Strap and Bag for a LUMIX G9

[anonymous-user]

Would any one be able to recommend a bag and a neck strap for a G9 please. I also ideally like to store some lenses too. My budget is around £150 to £200.

You might find it useful to consider buying a cheap camera bag, perhaps from Amazon, and using it for a while in order to discover what you need. I've got a shoulder bag, a small backpack, a large backpack and a 'tactical' belt, and I pick what I need for the day from that. I don't use neck straps but instead opt for shoulder straps. Much more comfortable for me for a few hours' shoot.

My shoulder strap I got from my laptop bag when the zip broke.

The strap is long, wide, strong, and has a wide padded bit for the shoulder. The spring clips were a bit on the big side and metal, which made a noise when I videoed, so I removed them and stitched on a couple of quick release clips. I think they were less than £5.

I’ve ordered the one from Parks. It’s expensive but at least I know it will fit the camera. I’ve found this bag:
