Camera Bag

Hi folks, what Camera bag do you all use ? I have been using a Lowepro Slingshot 100 recently but have had a number of close calls with the amount of times lens have nearly fallen out of the thing, due to how much you need to open it to get the camera out.
Cheers

I've been using the Lowepro Fastpack 250. It is a very large bag but I got it because of the laptop compartment plus the top compartment for clothes etc. This makes it useful for going on spotting trips. It also features a large flap to access gear but you can only open it to the side so that you can only get the camera out. Perfect.

£42.98 on amazon but there is also a smaller 150 version

Using a Lowepro Nova 160 - not a huge amount of room but is compact and easy to carry around. I only have a camera with a kit lens and telephoto lens so don't need much room. Had a cheaper bag before but let in water where the lid went over the edges. Hopefully this'll be better.

I've been using a Lowepro Fastpack 350 for over a year now and still in great condition, no tears or splits anywhere. Mainly bought it so I can take the laptop in addition to the camera gear. Even fully loaded it is quite comfortable. Like the 250 it has a side panel so you can access the camera compartment without taking the backpack off.

Definitely recommend it.

I use a hard shell foam filled case for my camera gear-I think it gives better protection than the padded bags,although it is a bit bulky to carry around and there`s no where to put your munchies!

I have the sony Alpha bag it is very easy to carry and is very good.
