Looking for a new camera bag, need advice


Recommended Posts

Hey all!

I'm looking for a new camera bag to fit my Sony A200 with 70-300mm lens, a standard 18-75mm lens, flash gun, tripod, iPad and if possible a tripod holder. Also odds and sods.

My current bag is a shoulder bag, its bulky and unconformable to carry when walking long distances. I'm also a fairly large chap (I enjoy way to much food) so some backpacks can be uncomfortable especially if the have a waist belt.

Ideally I want something that is comfortable and if possible would hold my kit mentioned above.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

lowepro fastpack 350. Great backpack and I can use it for non-photography related stuff (E.g cycling to and from work, laptop holder fits a pump and bike lock nicely, jacket in camera/lens area and then lunch in main storage area)

I went from a shoulder bag to a backpack and don't think I could use my shoulder bag again, got it lying around somewhere I think.

Fits 5 lenses, Body with a lens on (my 70-300mm fits nicely attached to the body) and possibly a smallish flash, maybe not higher end ones, they are pretty chunky.

    • Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.
    • Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?
    • Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
