I currently use a smallish Caselogic camera bag for my S3, but my telephoto lens (and various other accessories) don't all fit. Does anyone have a suggestion on an affordable (below $30 preferably) bag that will hold the S3 and a couple of lenses/adaptor tubes, etc? I don't want a huge DSLR bag, just something that will hold all my 'junk' in one place.

I havent seen anything that will hold an additional lens for that. I got a Roots shoulder bag that holds the S3 and one adapter lens for around 50CDN. Once I got another adapter and lens I jumped into a Slingshot 100AW (which are closer to 100CDN). Its not HUGE, but it is probably twice the size of something you need. There isnt a large market for smaller bags for cameras like the S3 with room for a lens or something.

Let us know if you find something.

I use the Lowepro EX120 for my S2 with an adapter, has enough room for a couple of filters, spare batteries and I'm sure I could fit a lot more stuff. Best part was that my wife picked it up for under $30 CND. I really like it and it doesn't feel that big when carrying around. I used to use a Tamrac 5693 without an adapter and I really like it as well because its snug and much smaller.

I use the Tamrac 5510 and I have an adapter on my camera as well. I have enough room for filters and extra batteries as well. As of now I don't have any extra lenses, but it seems like they should all still fit within the bag.

Not under $30, but Adorama had a Tamron-labelled version of the Domke F-5XB for about $40 that should fit the bill.

Just thought I'd let anyone who's interested that I decided on the LowePro Micro Trekker 200. To me it is the perfect balance between the too small camcorder style bag that I'm using now, and the full size giant DSLR backpacks. Its built like the DSLR bags, with plenty of room for the camera and a few lenses and accessories, etc, but on a slightly smaller scale. It measures approximately 14 inches high by 11 inches wide (at the widest point near the bottom of the bag). Thanks again for all the suggestions!

I also use the above mentioned bag, and the S3 fits comfortably with the Canon adapter and filter attached. It also has compartments for spare SD cards, a couple sets of batteries, a lens pen and microfiber cloth. Now once I get a tele, I bet the bag will no longer be big enough.
