Recommendation for Small Camera Bag and Lens Help

[MommaGinger]

Good Morning,

We are heading to WDW and I have decided to bring my SLR instead of my point and shoot. I was hoping to get some great pictures of my DD for the holidays. I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and I was thinking of bringing my 28 to 90 lens only because I really don't want to lug around my bigger lenses. I have two questions. Do you think that would be my best choice for an all purpose lens (I also have a 18 - 55 and a 75 - 300)? Also can anyone recommend a good small camera bag?

Thank you all very much for your advice.

I have a LowerPro SlingShow AW100 which I really like.

Personally I'd take the 18-55 unless you prefer the image quality of the 28-90.

You'll lose out on the zoom range but 18mm will give you more wide-angle shots for landscapes, main street and such and 55 should get you "close enough" I'd think. But it really all depends on your shooting styles and preferences.

For a bag I use a messenger style bag (sits on the side with a flap) with some pockets. If I carry an additional lens it goes in one of the pockets and I can quickly store the camera when not readily shooting and/or get at it pretty quickly if I need it.

I'd bring the 18-55 only because the image quality is better than the Canon 28-90. That lens is pretty low quality by today's standards.

Thank you all so much for your responces. The 18-55 it is. I might throw my little point and shoot in my bag for any zoom shots I might need of my little one.
