SLR Camera Bags: So Many Choices

Put SLR camera bags in a closet, close the door, and when you reopen, there will be more than when you started. They are available in such abundance that it seems like they must be multiplying.

It is particularly surprising for many amateur photographers to hear that SLR camera bag market is jam packed with options.  Unlike point and shoot cameras where the choice is a soft or hard case, there many more options when choosing an SLR camera bag.

Above all, the focus when looking for a camera bag is, “What kind of pictures do you like to take?” The answer to that question will help you narrow down what type of SLR camera bag you’ll need.

Many amateur photographers think they’re going to take their camera everywhere. Only to discover they only really use it on family occasions and holidays.  In this case, an inexpensive soft case is probably all you need.  A good example is the Opteka Short Zoom Holster, at only $15, offers protection against dust and dirt.

Of course, rarely using your SLR camera is not the intention of most photographers. So it’s good to know there are a wide range of different bags available.

Although it costs more than $150, the Naneu Pro Urbangear U-120 is one of the best SLR camera bags for traveling.  With a capacity to safely store two camera bodies with lenses attached, an additional four lenses, as well as all of the necessary flashes, battery chargers and leads, there is very little room for improvement. The bag is fully padded and has an additional compartment for a laptop for on-the-go photograph viewing and editing.

And don’t forget my favorite from jill-e designs. I just love their small yellow camera bag priced at $140. It will accommodate • 1 Camera Body • 1 Flash • 2 Lenses (dependent on lens size) as well as • Memory Card Holders • Batteries • Cables • Manuals • Filters • Camera Strap • Lens Cleaning Cloths • Expo Disc • Waterproof Camera Jacket • Camera Card Reader. They also make bags for men as well.

Whatever SLR camera bag you choose, you have to ensure that the bag is not only able to keep your camera and equipment safe, but also is easy and convenient to carry.  Whether it is light, portable, sturdy or secure – or a combination of all of them– taking your time to choose the correct one will ensure that your camera is always by your side when you need it.
