Camera bags/cases/holders

[EGKID]

What do you guys use? And what do you think of it?

I just picked up this canon backpack (Canon - Deluxe Backpack for Canon SLR Digital Cameras - 200EG (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7191004&type=product&id=1112808506554)). My first impressions are that it keeps your lenses and camera(s) secure and its well padded. Also has a lot of little pockets and compartments for other things along with straps on the bottom for a tripod. A couple things I dont like about it is that it's a little awkward to wear, the shoulders straps are kinda stiff so it feels like the it's not sitting correctly on your back. Overall it's a great alternative to fanny packs and those bags you wear around your neck.


I bought mine at best buy for $80

I'm kind of hoping to start this into a carrying bag review thread for those who are looking.

Here's mine. It's my first bag and I'm pretty happy with it. I found it at Wolf Camera for $50. It's a little small, but it's all I really need (for now). It has adjustable, velcro sections and various, small, zippered sections as well. Seems to be a high-quality bag.

its a decent size bag. I have the same one. it could be better weather sealed for the rain though. For the price its not bad, I think I paid $60 for mine though, I guiess the price went up. A lot of other companies are pricey, $150 for a backpack.

I paid $60 for it on Amazon. It's adequate for what I need: weather sealed zipper around the camera body portion, room for six lenses (I actually keep 4 lenses, 1 speed light and my cokin filters in the lens portion), room on each side for random accessories and even a space for a laptop (which I never use).

I wish the lens portion was weather sealed, other than that I'm pretty happy. Also, I've forgotten to fasten the lens portion before... luckily it has always been brought to my attention before any of my lenses fell out.

I like yours 94, that laptop space would be perfect for me. I might have to look into that one when I get my Rebel.

I just noticed that before I even knew what a Rebel DSLR was, I used RebelGFX for my design/photography logo. Tell me that wasnt meant to be;)

It would be funnier if you were dead set on some other camera... like a K10D or soemthing. :lol:

I probably could have gotten it cheaper off line, but I have a credit card with best buy so you gotta work with what ya got:lol:

Sorry bud, I didn't plan on buying a 7-inch lens when I was first getting into this. I just upgraded...
Quantaray U60 Urban Gear Backpack (http://www.wolfcamera.com/product/441663218.htm)

[CARNAG3]

nice bag.

[Michael.]

im gonna need to upgrade soon. i will now have 4 lenses and i dont think they will all fit in the current bag come to think of it.

[.:Chris:.]

Oh no, what a horrible problem to have. :violin:


:grin:

[Sabotage]

i have this one

its nice, its just a little bulky but any bag that would hold everything would be bulky! it holds my canon rebel xti, xtra lense for it, nikon coolpix p&s and nikon n2020 35mm slr. and it has the strappy things on the bottom to strap my tripod to. and then the front and side pockets i use for my manuals, battery chargers, ect.

if i dont want to carry all that stuff, i just grab my backpack or large tote/purse looking bag and wrap up whichever camera i'm taking in a towel.

you peeps keep your manuals with you?

[3drwhore]

you peeps keep your manuals with you?

I do. its good for reference if needed.

[EGKID]

Me too.

[.:Chris:.]

I don't even know where my manual is. I read it once and that's all I needed.
