I'm off next week on a bit of a world trip for 12 months. Any suggestions for a camera bag solution that meets the following (in order of importance):
- Discreet. Must not look like it has an SLR in it ;)
- No expensive logos (eg "krumpler" or "lowepro" etc. even though I like them)
- Can carry bare essentials (camera body with 1 lens attached + speedlite + bottle of water + banana)
- Will keep camera dry in rain
- Two shoulder straps as will be carrying it every day
- Light as possible
- Suitable as hand luggage when flying
DIY solutions also welcome if quick and easy to do (running out of time)
Cheers,
Matt
Answer
There are a variety of padded camera bag inserts available at online stores like B&H for very little money that you can fit into a non-camera bag that you can buy elsewhere. I found a bag at an Army Navy store that fit mine perfectly. Photos: http://blog.muddyboots.org/2007/08/diy-stealth-camera-bag.html
That bag is not waterproof, but I carry a garbage bag to put it in in case of rain. I'm not sure where you could find a waterproof bag, but you can try.
Another idea is a cooler or diaper bag -they often provide a little padding and they make some nicer looking ones these days.
