Camera Bag

[newtda1]

I have a new TI1 and the bag I already have is small. I am looking for a bag that will fit the battery charger, two lenses and the camera. I am looking for all suggestions on where to find a bag that I want.

There's lots of bags, some good, some not. When the bag question comes up here the ones who love their bags will tell you the advantages of each.
Myself, I use an insulated lucnh/picnic bag. Make my own dividers. Put 'for cameras' on the bag and it cost a hundred bucks. Put 'for lunches' on it and it costs 25 bucks.

I have lots of bags. For really heavy action I prefer a shoulderbag, but most of the time I usually use a small backback. The camera and lenses go in the bottom compartment and wallet, keys, spare clothing etc. in the top. It doesn't look like a photography bag and it's small enough to use in cities.

Mine is a Lowepro Orion Trekker. I don't think its made any more but here is a link to the reviews on it, which might give you some ideas:

Don't carry your battery charger around with you. If you're worried about running out of power during the day then buy a second battery and keep that in the bag (fully charged). Leave the battery charger at home or in your hotel room or whatever and charge up every night.

I use a pelican (1550). Its heavy and bulky, but its a hard shelled case and meant to withstand abuse, keep the elements out, etc. If someone spilled a bucket of koolaid on the case, everything in it is fine. In fact, it could even go swimming in a pool of koolaid and be fine (just needs to be cleaned off). It has a rubber O ring in the seal to make it air tight. I transport my equipment a lot and I don't need to be all delicate in doing so. It has two options for dividing stuff inside, A) pick n' pluck foam, or B) soft dividers. The foam is what I use, doesn't maximize space as well as the dividers would, but a little better protection.

It however, is NOT something meant to carry over your shoulder (not the 1550 anyway), smaller models may work with shoulder carry.







It has a very industrial look to it, I had a friend who saw it, gasped and said 'Geez man you carrying a nuke in that thing!?"
