Every day roaming around camera bag

Not another camera bag question? :rofl:

I'm after a new camera bag, something that will hold one camera body and a couple lenses and a flash. I don't want all my gear to fit in this thing, just something like a day bag.

I have spent the last 2 hours surfing over B&H's site looking at camera bags and can't figure out which I like. Certain things are so hard to shop just by looking at photos. I will say I have a budget of $375 for this page, I want the shoulder strap to be comfortable and would be nice to have a color other than black.

Suggestions?

Recently got a Lowepro similar to the one pictured to your right. Holds what you need plus a 15" laptop.

Cost was less than $200.00 USD.

Think Tank bags very are good.

I have a retrospective 20 pinestone (note, it's NOT black) VERY well made and doesn't scream "STEAL ME" like a normal camera bag.... also you don't need to use it as a camera bag. ;)

Check them out here:

You might consider the Pinestone 30.

Same height as the 20, just a little wider. It's up to you.

Thanks PB. It's strap is nice an thick and it's comfortable to wear. I highly recommend it to people looking for a normal looking camera bag.

I use it every other day (I use my photography talk bag sometimes) as a general bag.

It's good for that purpose.

I was imagining it over my shoulder at a wedding with my bits n pieces in it.

This is what I have and I love it: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=passpo...=0&InitialSearch=yes

Very comfortable, and doesn't scream "I'm carrying a camera". I usually have one lens on the camera and one spare. And there's plenty of room for a flash too. If you have a bigger lens (a 70-200 for example), it might not be quite tall enough - that's still on my wish list, so I can't speak from experience. :)
