How many camera bags do you have for your SLR/DSLRs?
and why am i keep buying new camera bags?? I feel like no matter how many camera bags i have, i always need a smaller/bigger one than what i already have!!! Anyone feel the same?
I know what you mean.
You want a bag for Day trips - can fit a SLR and 2 lenses and your jacket or something. Then you want a bag to fit all your gear! Then you will want one that can only fit a body and 1 lens. Then you will want a sling bag then a backpack.
I used to have 3, but I just sold my compuday pack because I need to be less greedy.
I have a large bag to carry all my gear to events/travelling when I need lots of gear. And then I have a normal bag which I chucked in lots of clothes and padding, and I use this to go to birthday parties or dinners. When I only have one lens and a flash gun.
Lowepro makes an excellent sling pack called the Slingshot AW series. I have the Slingshot 200 and 300. They are well designed and most of your needed items can be accessed without removing the pack from your back.

They have a lifetime warranty for the original owner and can purchased for very reasonable prices on ebay too.
yeah i like the Lowepro Slingshot too. Very nice and good quality bags!
I use to have a Slingshot 200aw. Now I have a Orion Trekker. The top compartment is useful for bits and pieces as well as clothing, lunch etc! I found the slingshot tiring on one shoulder on long trips. Don't under estimate the size, you can fit a lot in them!
I use the 200AW too. And yes it is really tiring on the shoulder when you tried to pack the camera with a couple of lenses + flashes into the bag.
But it is really handy and it makes it very easy for you to swap lenses by pulling the bag to the front
After selling the small one to my friend i am left with 2 bags - one backpack, one crumpler 7 mil. I take the backpack for tramping or long distant walk, and I use my 7mil for everyday shooting including doing wedding ceremonies.
I wish one day I will at least 2 more bags. One is a super large professional bag that fits absolutely everything so I can take it to all the jobs. Hence I will also need a super compact, light weight bag that can carries only 2 lens max. This one should fit perfectly in the large bag and I will use it when I have to move around.
