Camera Bag

[Tinkertoo]

What are some important things to look for in a camera bag?

I plan on purchasing the Canon S3 IS when it comes out, my other digital is very small so I never really used a case. Can you recommend one for me?

Thanks!!

Not sure if this fits your needs, but I personally use something similar to this:

I second the idea of a vest, I never carry a bag with me, everything I need is right in the vest, it made WDW so much easier in February

I only use my camera bag for transporting, not for carrying my camera around in the parks.

The main things I look for in a camera bag are:

1) Fits my equipment - not just big enough, but adjustable enough to hold my equipment in place without moving around.
2) Plenty of padding to protect my equipment.
3) Rugged construction - reinforced corners, metal zippers, heavy stitching, water-resistant materials.
4) Easy access - flip-up top to I can get stuff out when the bag is hanging from my shoulder, zip or clip pouches on the outside for small stuff like memory cards.
5) Big, wide, soft, comfy shoulder strap, with rotating clips to easily untangle it.
