Camera Bag Roundup
I’m looking for a small camera bag, so I did a camera bag roundup for Intel’s Lifescoop site. The brand above was made with scrapbookers in mind, and it’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a camera bag that looks like a purse. Why aren’t there more of those? I feel like such a yutz when I dress up for dinner and then have to carry a nylon sack along.
Anyway, with a great deal of help from Twitter friends, I found some useful, attractive options, so go have a look.
Check out http://dailyrelish.squarespace.com/journal/2009/9/27/cute-camera-bagsfinally.html?SSScrollPosition=333 Check out the pictures of the bags that she’s launching cute camera bags soon. She’s just one of the photo blogs that I follow and I’m anxious for this line to come out. She also blogs at Shutter Sisters…
Did you see this? Coming soon, by fantastic photographer, Maile:

Might be just what you’re looking for…
Hah! divrchk beat me to it! Anyway, seriously, they look awesome.
Those other bags look amazing – I have the crumpler 4 million dollar home and often have to put it into a larger bag instead of carrying two bags…still not ideal.
you read my mind! i was just starting the hunt for a good camera bag for my trip to india – thanks gor the roundup!

This Etsy shop has camera bags that look like handbags. Looks like she is on maternity leave right now but you can browse through her sold items. http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=20560989

that is a very sexy looking bag. I’m sure my wife would love to wear one of these.
This is technically a lens bag, but it also easily fits the body of my DSLR (as long as I don’t have the lens attached, of course). The interchangeable covers are totally boss as well.

After having a camera stolen myself years ago, I took to heart the advice of one photographer: keep your camera in a bag that doesn’t look like a camera bag. He suggested a diaper bag, complete with a fake diaper or two. (wad them up as if they’re used if you’re really worried about theft.)
I carry my camera in an insulated lunch cooler. It’s the perfect size to fit a d40 with one kit lens and still carry the other. If I squish, I can even fit in a zoom lens instead (or my wallet and phone). Not the most stylish, but the price is right, and it is *waterproof.*
I’ve been looking at options for dressing up, but I think the real key will be to buy a non-dSLR for fancy occasions where I want to just carry a small purse.
can’t believe no one mentioned photojojo “bad-ass bowler camera bag” yet: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/bowler-camera-bag/
