Alrighty, It's time for me to get a bag. I have read some reviews here, and lots of people are talking about bags in how they relate to camera stuff, however, I'm looking for a camera bag with a few extra pouches I can put food/small supplies/camel back in. Anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at the Tamrac Expedition 5, but I'm not sure how much room it has for non camera stuff. When I go hiking, I would like to be able to bring:

XTi, 2-3 Lenses, Tripod, Filters, extension tubes, flash.

So, any suggestions?


5D3, lenses, tripod, and a flash.

Lowepro Mini-Trekker AW. Its about 140 from BH. Or, if you want smaller, try the Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 for about 70 bucks. Or you could go with the Canon alternative which can fit lots and still has some extra pocket, the Canon 200EG. Just browse through the SHOW ME YOUR CAMERA BAG thread and look for one that looks right to you. Good luck!


Na, just kidding, you are still a loser.
^^ If you higlight this you will be cool ^^

Lowepro has some great bags as well. Check out the slingshot series.

Yes it is large, but it has tons of room and I hike with it.

I've got the Expedition 5. It will hold everything in my sig, but it's really just a dedicated camera pack. No real room for extras.

I have a Lowepro Dryzone 100 and I love it. It's got s lot of padding in the waterproofing, but I like that because I can throw it down anywhere without worry; it also provides protection against bumps and bashes on the trail.

I agree about Naneu Pro bags, they are great. Constrution is great and they look awesome.
But not too many knows about them, I think it has a lot to do with availability, I have yet to see them in a store. Most people want to see it and try it out before they buy.
