Bag for DLSR

Am looking for bag (backpack) to carry DSLR & Accessories,what is the right choice..have gone through LOWEPRO,cost seems to higher...Something economical that will solve the purpose.

Need more info regarding potential use: hiking, air travel, day trip, how many bodies and lenses, with tripod? Do you need quick access or storage? Laptop and/or tablet? Only camera gear?

So if cost is your first concern, what's your budget?

need to carry camera plus 2 lenses,tripod not necessary.
suitable for bike travel as well air travel.
My budjet is not more than 5k in INR

Amazon.com: Lowepro Flipside Backpack 300 Arctic Blue/Black: Camera & Photo

This is what I have. It can fit a 70-200 2.8 easily plus other goodies.

Thanx,
will be looking forward for the same,are these waterproof.
​As well anything good in VANGUARD...

The higher end lowepro's have built in rain covers, the 300 flipside does not.

Welcome.

You'll find quite a few detailed threads in this section of the forum:

5,000 INR is less than 100 USD if memory serves.

@MFRANKFORT--So nice of you if you can arrange one...

Really happy with my Lowepro Slingshot 202AW. Plenty of room and easy to sling over to get camera out without removing backpack. Plus it has a rain cover and tripod holder built in. They came down in price now on Amazon.

I bought a Lowepro Adventura 170. It's OK...has room for the camera, 18-55 mm and 55-300 mm VR Lenses, some cleaner, etc... Enough room.

If I had to do it over, I think I would try the case logic one with the suspension for the camera. Just seems a little safer to me. Plus, maybe a smaller bag. I rarely use the 55-300 lens, and the bag is a tad bulky for everyday use.

Loving my Billingham. The high end of the market but very tough and good looking. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Billingham-...296085&sr=1-4&keywords=billingham+camera+bags

I have this rucksack that fits Nikon D5100 with 18-55 kit lens, Sigma 10-20mm and Nikon 70-300 with lens hoods. Tripod, charger spare batteries, memory cards, flash and laptop all fit in here easily with great access.

I just got the Lowepro Pro Messenger 160AW. Picked it up from amazon for $120. Don't know how I got that price because I looked today and they are $201CDN.
Anyway, I am very impressed with the bag. Lots space. I can fit my D5100 with the 18-55 kit lens attached, and 55-300mm, 35mm prime and Tokina 11-16mm in the bag, as well as 3-4 lens filters, sb400, spare battery and cleaning kit. The nice thing about the bag is its very compact and even with all that gear it is not heavy at all.

Its a bit more stealthy which was an important factor for me. I don't like camera backpacks that scream ROB ME and I feel a smaller messenger bag worn at the side is safer than a backpack that someone can reach into without you noticing...

That being said backpack is more convenient and comfortable for going for a hike in the woods or mountains with your gear.
