saw that packback anyone has experinces with it?

[Permagrin]

In this sling backpack I keep my M3, my 300 F4IS w/tc, 70-200 F4IS, 24-70 and 16-35 II attached to the camera...it sounds like a huge bag but it's not (in fact, when I saw it, I thought I could never get that part of my kit in it)...it's amazingly compact compared to the other backpacks it's size. It also has a front pocket for accessories...and it's $79.

This is one of the bags I use, it should fit all your gear. Do you need to carry any books to photography class? because you can't carry any books with this bag. It is best if you can go to a local camera store to see it in person first to see if you like it though.

Check out the Domke F-3x. Perfect size and some room to spare with your current gear. It will last forever too.

I love my Crumplers, I really want one of their backpacks as well, but they are a little too expensive right now.

PS. Have you checked out the accessories/storage forum, tons of bag info there.

[Tinh Ngo]

also I need a extra canon battery, do you know where I can buy good reliable one that last for cheap or under 15$? I seen a lot on ebay but dont know what to buy or is good to purchase.

Ditto on that.

You should scope out the accesories forum (oh - this is already in the acc. forum - oops), they have several threads on just bag reviews. I just purchased the Kata r102 bag off amazon which, with shipping is on the upper end of your budget.

going for 130 right now.

Also, here is a link to a review of the bag with much better pictures.

I love my norazza and it can be had for less than sixty. It should fit everything you need. Go with the large one for sure.

i love my canon 200eg.. 40 bucks shipped on amazon, great bag fits ALL of my gear aside from my film equip (2 film bodies and lenses arent in the bag) with straps on the bottom or sides for tripod/monopod, or both

I also just picked up a Lowepro Rover Plus AW, 135 on amazon, this bag is ridiculously huge and no one should ever need a bigger bag

both of those are backpack bags

Ive also carried 2x 200DG shoulder bags (plenty of space in each bag)

what you need to consider is the style bag, some prefer backpack, some prefer shoulder bags, i love the comfort of a backpack, a fully loaded shoulder bag begins to be uncomfortable after walking distances

I have three recommendations:

Backpack - Naneu Pro Alpha - under $100 - a really nice camera/backpack. The top section is for whatever you want to put in it, the bottom is for camera gear. You access the camera from the side of the bag which is against you back when you wear the pack. This prevents entry by someone behind you in a crowd and when you take the pack off you set it down naturally with the camera access side up. This also keeps the side that goes against you clean and dry.

Shoulder bag - Domke F-4AF - $120 - will hold everything you listed and then a little. Or Domke F-3X - $98 - will hold everything you listed but is not quite as deep (top to bottom) as the F-4AF.

thanks guys for taking your time typing up all of the helpful ideas ^_^

edit: it also come in black and this camo colors right?

If you need a bag on a budget I would check out the Lowepro - CompuDaypack (http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Backpacks/notebook_camera/CompuDaypack.aspx).
I believe it retails for about 100$ Canadian.
The only issue I have seen with the bag is that it doesn't have any additional support straps for your shoulders which most of the more expensive bags have.
None the less it's a good bag on a budget.

I have a lowebro slingshot 100 and it is really too small. I have XTI, 50mm and 17-55 with 430 flash and it is packed full.

Sounds about the size of a Domke F-5Xb. Try the Domke F-3x. Ample room for your kit and room to grow.

decided to get the Naneu Pro Bravo, thanks guy!
