The Best Camera Bags Daily Use, Travel, And More

Author: Harry Guinness / Source: reviewgeek.com

If you want to carry your camera safely you need a dedicated camera bag. Tossing it in your backpack is just asking for trouble. Here are our picks.

A good camera bag needs to do a few things:

It has to protect your camera from bumps, drops, kicks, and all the usual day to day stuff.
You shouldn’t need to worry about your camera if it’s in your bag as long as you don’t do anything too stupid.
It has to be easy to carry around and suited to the activities it’s meant for. A day to day bag needs to be comfortable and not look out of place in a coffeeshop; an adventure bag needs to work for rock climbing and backpacking.
It has to be able to deal with different amounts of gear without trouble. It can’t be floppy and unusable with one lens or not hold a telephoto.
Finally, it has to be incredibly well made. You are trusting it to protect your camera after all.

With the outlined criteria in mind, here’s our top picks for different situations and budgets.

Best Bag for Day to Day: Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L ($260)

Our favorite bag for day to day use is the twenty litre Peak Design Everyday Backpack ($259.95). With Peak Design’s innovative “FlexFold” dividers it can safely hold a full frame camera, four lenses, a 15” laptop, a tripod, and more, or it can take your camera, laptop, and other everyday carry gear like a regular backpack.

The Everyday backpack has had a lot of thought put into it. It’s stylish, well made, comfortable to carry, and easy to use. The adjustable hip and chest straps spread the weight across your body.

The whole bag is weatherproofed so a bit of rain won’t harm your gear. The side access makes it simple to store your heavy camera where you want it—at the bottom of your bag—and still be able to get to it easily. There are also loads of smaller pockets for stashing things like memory cards and batteries, and straps for externally carrying large items like tripods.

If you want something a little bigger, there’s a thirty litre version ($289.95) that’s almost identical, but scaled up. It’s a bit big for most people’s needs, but if you want a bag that can take a few days worth of clothes as well as your camera kit, it’s the one to go with.
