Does anyone here know of a good camera bag? The one I have now is kind of bad...

Thanks,

Which one do you have? I just bout the Tamrac Velocity 7, and while I've just realize I've outgrown it before I've even used it, it it a great bag. Just got it in the mail yesterday. I think I'll return it and get the Velocity 9. They are both sling backpacks which I really like as I refuse to use a regular backpack and have limited access to it and have to take it off everytime I need something.

Whatchu got for equipment?

As there are so many to choose from it will depend on what you want to pack in it.

I have two Lowepro backpacks and a case that only holds the body with short zoom attached and a few filters.

Check out //www.lowepro.com.

Tamarack also makes some good camera bags. (I don't know the website, google will though)

Right now, all I have is the EOS Rebel and the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens that came with it.

The bag is practically generic. Really bad, really small.

I would also suggest Lowepro. They are way better than the Nikon bags for the price and they have a lifetime guaranty.

I can attest to LowePro's quality. I have a Pro35 LowePro bag that I boght for my 35mm gear almost 25 years ago. It has thousands and thousands of miles on it. I'm now using it with my 10D.

I have three lowepro bags and love all three for there applications. I have the Rover II AW, Magnum AW and Nova 4 AW.

I recommend the Rover II as an all rounder being a backpack it's best for around town and hiking. It also has the sliplock system as an expansion option. Your equipment will fit quite well in the Rover II with extra space for other stuff. If you don't like backpacks then the Nova 4 will do just fine for the equipment you have but not much else.

If I were you, I would take a look at the Canon bag. I had one of these and loved it:

Canon Gadget Bag

It's inexpensive and it will give you plenty of room to grow.

LowePro. My walkin' around bag is a LowePro Nova 1AW, which is just barely big enough for the Camera with 28-105 lens & hood and a 50mm f/1.8 or 420ex flash.

When I need more gear, I use the LowePro CompuTrekker, which nicely handles the camera with attached 70-200L lens & hood, plus several other lenses, flash unit, laptop computer and assorted gizmos. It's a great backpack.

I have a couple of bags but The Tamrac Veloicty 3 is just great!

I can carry my Canon 70-200mm with 1.4x, Sigma 15-30mm, and my 10D with 28-135mm on it, plus my X Drive. Great bag for walking around town.

I also have the Tamrac Expedition 5 for almost all of my gear.

I also have the Lowepro 400 AW which pretty much fits the same stuff as my Expedition 5.

I have the loewpro micro trekker backpack. 100% satisfied with it.

I'm looking at the Tamrac Zoom Traveler 4 (Model 604) and starting to look at the Lowepro site. Canon Gadget Bag doesn't look too bad either.

The idea of a backpack doesn't appeal to me...

Thanks to everyone who posted!
