Camera Bag

[samiet620]

Thank you all so muh for all the info. I really do appreciate it. Hey Jfuler....love that pic. I showed it to my DH and said, " See what could happen if you went with us?!". (He isn't coming....this time! ) Well anyway off I go to checkout the photo gallery and the web links you gave me.

No I haven't bought it, yet!! From the e-mail they sent me it looks like it is on sale until July 18th. I think I am going to hold out for the slingshot 200. Maybe they will put that on sale.

One more thing that a lot of people don't seem to know is that the Photopass photographers will also gladly take photos of you with your own camera.

The only Photopass photo we ever "bought" -- we actually got a free print as part of a package -- turned out not so good. I think this was entirely a problem with the photographer's positioning in the park. He just essentially had the sun shining right at the camera. I was able to scan the image and save it to a degree. But when I've had them use my own camera, they generally do a good job.

If you check out the Budget Boards here, there are many photopass shares going on... We did it last year, and I really appreciated having someone ELSE take the pictures of our family.

Here's a link to where the photographers generally are.

I like the Slingshot 100. Best Buy sells them for $100, but you can get a new one on ebay for around $70, so a bit of a savings.

I have the Lowepro slingshot 200 AW, and it gets cramped at times. Instead of getting the 100 I grab either the Nova2 or Nova3 AW, just as easy to handle.

Tha Adorama sale price came up tonight via the email link, I decided to pick up the Gary Fong difuser for the pop up flash. I love the one on my SpeedLite and this would be handy when I don't haul all my equipment.

Would be curious if anyone has used the Tenoba.

I just got a Rebel XT this week with the kit lens and a 75-300 lens. Now I need a case for it. There are no camera shops near here so I am forced to look at Walmart and Staples or order on-line. The ones I've found for a SLR are huge! There are smaller ones, but I don't really care for any of them and most are a bit small for what I have. Also, I'm already planning on having a baggalini with me at Disney so I don't want another huge bad to carry around all day.

I could put the camera in the baggalini, but there's not really any protection from bumping then. Is there a good smaller one that would fit in the baggalini without taking up the entire thing and then I could possibly have a bigger one for days in which bulk & weight isn't such an issue (meaning closer to home)?

I know a lot of people like the smaller Crumplers. And they look comfy to wear!

I have an XTi with a 70-300 (along with the std 18-55)...for short trip/easy carry I use a tamrac model 515 SLR case and to carry the bigger lens I use a lowepro 2s (it can be attached to various bags or belt looped) that I got on Overstock for a decent price. As for long trip/vacation bag I use a Mountainsmith Quantum - it is a great backpack style camera bag. I got the Mountainsmith bag from B&H Photo in NYC.

I have a Tamrac Adventure 9 to store all my gear together. Its is big and when fully loaded is heavy. Though I can fit my camera body along with 6 lenses or 5 lenses and my Gary Fong diffuser. I can also fit my SB-600 flash, lots of memory cards, 4 batteries, battery charger, laptop, cords for laptop, portable external hard drive, video camera, cords for video camera and a few flash batteries and some filters. This is what I use to store everything together (except for the laptop) at home and also use when we go on vacation.

I'm going to order another bag for small or day trips where I only need the body and an extra lens or maybe the flash. I'm leaning towards the LowePro Slighshot 200.

I just bought a http://www.tamrac.com/3537.htm


I am a big Crumpler fan but I didnt want to spend that much money, I got this one from Amazon.com for $49.95 + free freight. The Tamrac Express 7 has a nice style and more than enough room for my Nikon D40 and and extra lens.

I have this one and used it on 5day trip to Sea World/SD Zoo. I was able to throw my wallet, phone, and a few other small things in there as well. It was just perfect and not hard to carry at all.

Flipside 300

 

[YesDear]

I use a Lowepro Nova 5 for regular stuff. I just got a Lowepro Computrecker plus to take on a cruise so as not to have to carry two bags.

 

[jann1033]

i have a tamrac system 3 which i really like, holds my rebel body and i can cram in 5 lenses ( 1 smallish, 3 medium and 1 large with the assorted hoods) plus my teleconverter in the main area...i'm going to get a holster style tamron cause it has the same modular deal so i can just take the camera body and 1 lens attached then throw on a lens or two, my filter case etc when i want to go lighter. i'm a wimp and can lug it for a few hrs but all day the fully loaded system 3 is heavy. it is still good on my shoulder but my back starts to ache. i do like it since it's a messenger bag i can put if on the ground and not have to worry if it's open something might fall out and get into it on or off my shoulder easily.

 

[steery1]

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 200.
It holds my body with 18-70 attached, 70-300mm, 50mm, 11-18mm, batteries memory cards, gorillapod, remote release, rain ponchos, water bottle and theres still room for more.
I reckon I could get another couple of lenses and/or flash in there if I was of a mind to but I'd probably have to remove the water.

 

[saturndb]

I use the TAMRAC 5575 EXPEDITION 5. It has plenty of room to hold differnt lenses and camera bodies.

 

[fortheluvofpooh]

I too have the flipside 300 and love it.

 

[tkoran]

Wow, they're all so huge! I'm leaning toward a Lowepro Slingshot 200 or maybe even a 100. Anyone have any experience with a 100? I also like the looks of the Tarmac messenger style type. At this point I'm looking for what would be the best to carry around WDW.

 

[5 for WDW]

i have a tamrac system 3 which i really like

I have one too for my Nikon D40. We used it last month in WDW and it was perfect.
