What type of camera bag do you use

[James Axford]

Feel out of place here with everyone having a Lowerpro (pretty much...)
Have a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar (Shoulder) Bag. Plenty of room for a session with spare room.

don't feel out of place... I really think the lowerpro stands out as an obvious photographer which is not good a lot of the time.
where a crumpler does not.
probably an equal product but just doesn't have that dorky feel

I dont know, the crumpler logo stands out to me, I usually spot it and instantly assume its a camera.

So dont put your bag down, I'm gonna steal it :P

I have one of the lowepro slingbacks (200aw i think?) but when i had the 5d and a 30 in it with a few lenses, it gets way too heavy on one shoulder.

just picked up a Vanguard up rise 48. (mainly as it had one the tech awards this year and was much better priced than the lowepro ones).

i love the orange interior, and it expands which allows you to have you long lenses stored vertically instead of horizontally creating a lot more room.

the only disadvantage of this to some of the other lowepro style ones is that the top section (which can be opened separately or with the whole compartment isnt securely attached, it is just another horizontal divider. The lowepro ones also seem to have a few more little pockets to store memory cards / filters etc.

oh and the other annoying thing is the raincoat is the stuffing for one of the shoulder padding areas. Which doesnt sit quite the same as the other side, so I took it out and put it in the front pocket.

But for half the price of some lowepro models I am not complaining.

A thoughtful gift from my daughter sees me stepping out with a Lowepro Adventura 140. It is compact but accommodates my Pentax k-x and two lenses.

Tenba - small one for day trips around.
Tenba - large one with laptop space for longer trips.

Both are backpacks, I found them more comfortable with the heavier setup.

dakine sequence. fits the lot, comfortable to carry and has all the needed accessories to carry protect and resist the wather

Hey Nwoody can you please tell me if you bought it in australia? Iv'e been looking for these bags for a long time I thought they didn't sell them to us aussies Id appreciate it if you could give me the website that you bought it from if you have one thanks

I use Lowepro SlingShot 200AW.
Quite happy with it. The only issue is there is no tripod holder.

I use a Lowepro backpack that holds all my gear when travelling. I attacked all the Lowepro badges and tags with a black marker pen. It may help a bit. I am looking at getting a small individual bag to go walking with and to leave beside me in the truck.

I have a Crumpler 7 Million shoulder bag and love it.

Just purchased a Lowepro Flipside 400 & have to say that it is certainly well made & comfortable when strapped & loaded. Holds a heap, can get heavy but it sits comfortably on yr back. The raincoat works well, got caught in a downpour in a granite gully yesterday & everything stayed dry.

I use a Tamrac Expedition 7x and like it a lot. I can carry all my gear and the waist strap really helps distribute the weight. I highly recommend it.

Carry my stuff in sling bag KATA 3N20, sadly no MacBkPro 15" fit into it .

[scottid]

i use the lowe pro minitrecker, which i want to upgrade to something with wheels,
also if im carrying my lighting gear i put the mini trecker in a wheeling suitcase

Domke F-3x. Fits 1Ds II, 17-40 f/4l UWA, 85 f/1.2L and 100mm macro - perfect for that day outing. Easily folded and great for travel. Does get a bit heavy, being a shoulder bag though.

[RebelT2]

i use just plain old Lowepro fastpack100.

[fairy bombs]

I have just got a 'vanity bag' from a specialist bag shop in the shopping mall,it was fairly expensive around $55,i think it is 'skyways' brand,well built,water resistant 15 year garrantte,fits my 50d and 17-55 f2.8 very well with room for my ex 430 flash and even a 60 mm macro,lots of pockets,I am really happy with it,will post a pic of it,its a maroon colour(a winner for sure!)I have put some extra padding in the form of off cuts from upholstery shop inside.

I also like it as it does'nt say 'expensive camera gear inside' like some other dedicated camera bags may do.

cheers FB

I have the Lowepro slingshot 300, it is convenient and comfortable to wear & I do not have to put it down to access my gear.

[flash]

Inverse 200AW for me, only just bought it so I'm not a good reliable source for product recognition, I looked hard at the slingshot AW200, once I get all my lenses things may change??

[beckett5361]

LowPro but I find it carries too much gear and gets heavy and I often use my very small LowPro backpack and have the toment of what to leave out.
