I must confess that i have never understood the rationale of putting cameras in cases. A bag for spare bodies and lenses, strobes, filters and such, sure.
Not to criticize but to offer a different approach, i herewith describe what i do and what many professionals of my acquaintance do.
First, no case at all for the camera. Second, the camera on a strap, over the right shoulder, lens pointed *toward* the body. Reason is, it is then very quick to grab the camera to make a picture. It falls correctly to the hand and by the time it reaches eye level it is ready to be used. It quickly becomes a matter of second nature.
A case requires much excess activity before a picture can be made (as do things like lens caps). For some kinds of shooting i suppose this is not a problem, but it gives me the fantods.
