i am looking for a small portable camera bag to carry my canon xsi in,
I will only have 2 lens i will carry in it for now and the camera body,
maybe i will get a battery grip later,
I was looking at the F-Stop Navin Camera Bag for $38 on amazon,

Do you guys know any other good bags or do you think this one will work?
Im just wondering if it is big enough to hold all what i will have,
I will be going to Shanghai China this summer and want something very portable,
My 2nd option is Lowepro SlingShot 102 AW,

Thanks,Chris

I would recommend the LowePro over the other one. I suggest getting a backpack that will fit your camera and extra gear as well. You need to be able to carry all the extras like white balance cards, cleaning supplies, external flash, business cards, tripod, etc......

This is the model I have

Yes it is not cheap but neither is the thousands in camera gear being carried in it. I bought this one because I carry my 13" Macbook Pro with me and it fits nicely inside. Also lots of room for extra lenses and other essential items.

Backpacks can get big but if you buy a good one it will wear comfortably and carry everything you need. Don't skimp now and you will not have to buy anything else for a while.
