Yes, a mini cassette camera bag typically comes with padding. This is important to protect the delicate components of your camera from scratches and other damage caused by movement or bumps during transport. The padding can be found in the form of foam inserts that line the interior of the bag, which are usually removable so that you can customize it based on what type of equipment you have. An added bonus is that many bags also come with additional compartments for storing batteries, lenses, memory cards and other small items related to photography.
