ISO Camera Backpack or Sling

[Jen841]

We have a Canon Rebel DSLR and 2 lens. I love it and want to take it to Disney, but don't want the bulky back we have. We are beyond the diaper bag. I want something that will cover a purse and camera bag need. Anything you love? DH will carry too, so unisex is important. Thanks!

We have this one. Recommended right here on BBB.

Have and *LOVE* this bag. I've used it for over a year now and have no plans to switch any time soon. In fact, if something happened to the bag, I'd buy another exactly the same to replace it.

It holds my Canon dSLR with a lens attached, and there's enough room to put two more lenses in - I usually have my 50mm or 28mm prime attached, with the other in there, and sometimes add in my telephoto zoom, but it's not separated from the other extra lens. I should probably buy a lens pouch for that third lens to protect it more, but it's OK so far. I use the little pockets inside the main bag for my spare battery and small personal items, and my wallet plus a tiny first aid kit plus various small toys to occupy the kids fits in the rest with room to spare. You can also unzip the end to expand it, but I almost never do.

Oh, also? It went on a log flume ride. And got unexpectedly drenched - we've never gotten that wet on a log flume ride before. Everything in outside pockets was entirely ruined (including my iPod Touch...I had forgotten it was in there) but the camera stayed completely dry. Would I intentionally soak it? No. But if you get caught in a downpour it should be fine.

We use that one constantly. The 65 basically fits one DSLR body and a medium sized attached lens. We have a low profile flash attached that fits (SB400) but most normal big flashes would have to be detached. Can probably slip in a prime lens in there somewhere. Some accessories fit. When we went to Disney, that's what we brought. They do have different sizes though.

I've never found the backpacks and slings to be as useful as they were intended.

I've been really happy with my Lowepro Passport Sling as well ~ have had it for over a year too and find it still meets my needs. A GREAT travel bag for camera plus other stuff.
