I recently invested in buying a new camera bag. And wow what a bag it is. Not the usual bulky awkward looking carry all but a fabulously stylish bag from
I believe that it is extremely important to protect my equipment, especially when I travel, as they are the tools of my trade.
I bought the medium camera bag, which fits 2 camera bodies with lenses attached, 2 extra lenses and several pockets for batteries, charger, usb cables, remote control and external hard drives which I use to back up my work, more about the importance of backing up another day. It also includes a little money pouch, which can attach with a clip inside of the bag.
The bag is leather and even has little feet on the bottom so the leather bottom never touches the ground. It comes with a long shoulder strap or can be worn as a shoulder bag.
I recently travelled to Tasmania and I used this bag as my on board handbag to keep my camera close and I had no trouble fitting it under the plane chair or up in the overhead lockers.Don’t expect a good quality bag of this kind to be cheap, it cost me $300 Aussie dollars from Photo Continental
As a life long bag lover, I can appreciate this post even though I don't own a 'real' camera myself--any bag, pack, sack or tote interests me! This one has such great details--I always want a bag to be versatile, and not too purpose-specific. I like it to be something I can imagine myself using forever, regardless of its intended use--that's how I justified all the diaper bags I bought when my kids were small.
