Bag suggestion to fit SLR camera that's NOT a backpack...

[volsfan22]

I don't like the way backpacks feel on my back. Any suggestions for a cross-body style bag that will fit my rebel xt and other necessities (meds, autograph books, sunscreen, wipes)?

Have you seen the Tracy Joy bags? As a pro photographer I wear these bags messenger style all day long.. very comfy and well designed http://tracyjoy.com/

I used the tamarac model #519. I loved this bag. I carry a two lenses and the base. I also was able to put in the manual along with 8 cards and an extra battery. The part I love about this bag is that it goes across your body and you can adjust the strap. When you open the bag you can continue walking - take a picture and put the camera back in the bag without having to put the bag on something. Hope I am explaining it correctly. I believe you can also connect things to this bag with the Modular accessory system to suit your needs. I was going to get the water bottle attachment, but instead I bought one of those carabiner things from walmart for $1. (it is a metal thing that connects to your water bottle and has one of those clips on the ends like people use for rock climbing).

Hope this helps

My DD got me a LowerPro SlingShot 100AW for my BD. It's the smallest of the line. It has a cool size-zipper that lets you take stuff out thru the side while it is still on your back. Check it out.
