When you finally make your purchase, you might get so excited to go out and shoot that you forget to acquire the perfect carrying case.

In a soft-sided case or bag, you have a lot more to worry about than if your gear was in a blow molded case.
When on the road, you need to keep your gear dry. Modern DSL cameras have batteries and electrical circuits that quickly and permanently break when they get wet. A blow molded case is watertight, which means that even if it starts to rain, your gear is fully covered.
