Travel bag?

[directorj]

Well I been reading around and some people have been modding their bags so it looks cheap and crappy so no one steals it. I'll be going to Mexico next March and I just got my new SX 10. I know the camera doesn't cost as much as what most of you guys probably have but I love this camera! ( traded my old 800IS). I also read people use a baby/bottle bag? Any pictures of that? I could careless if people laugh at me as long as I have more peace of mind.

Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to make a bag look cheap. ;)

I would consider removing any namebrand logos that are associated with cameras (i.e. LowerPro) or sewing a patch over them to conceal them. Also, as you mentioned, using a non-standard bag would also be a good idea. Since you don't have an SLR that shouldn't be too hard because you don't have to worry about carrying additional lenses and the like. Hope this helps!

Get the outside really dirty and muddy, let it dry and then clean it off. Repeat until it looks old and shabby :-) Keep the inside clean though! Works great, especially on messenger type bags. Makes it look Indiana Jones-style.
