Which Bag???

[MattUK]

Personally, I use the Lowepro Slingshot. I love it. It fits camera + 2 lenses in comfortably (with room for more). I just love how accessible it is. Just swing the bag round, undo the zip and whip the camera out. It really makes a difference when you're taking frequent shots, but don't want to carry the camera in your hand each time. I use it with an Op Tech wrist strap - presumably it would be more cumbersome with a shoulder strap.

Like Chris says its personal. I have this bag in black:

Plus points for me is that Dakine make normal rucksacks and so people will not realize you have a couple of grands worth of camera equipment in there. Plus it looks cooler (to me). Whats more it has a removable camera block so I can use it as a smaller camera bag and a normal rucksack. Probably less camera orientated than a Lowepro though, but a nice balance.

Also these are very interesting camera bags http://fstopgear.com/

I nearly bought a Dakine one but I couldn't find a UK retailer. It was a few years ago though so it may have changed now.

f-stop are very good as well, generally quite expensive though. Similar to Naneu Pro who also make some excellent stuff.

Goes to show how personal this sort of thing is - I hated the Slingshot with a passion. For me, it was a great idea that was just really badly implemented.

Wonder if someone can help- I'm on the lookout for a bag that can take a D90, D60 and the 55-200mm + other accessories

I've mainly seen the Kata DPS-467 as the best option , just don't want something that screams camera bag

Budget up to £60

I won a Kata 467i last year from AP Magazine. I can tell you that this bag is one of the most comfortable rucksacks I have ever worn. Loads of room throughout the bag and the the bottom camera compartment takes my 5dmkii with 24-105 and hood attached. The upper part will take other stuff, though not separated by inserts. I would have no problems putting a couple of large lenses in the upper part but would need to have them in their lens pouches for further protection. The back part has a section for laptop. Nice bag all round.
