THE BEST CAMERA BAG FIND THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU

So, you're trying to find the best camera bag for you, and you've just realised that there are thousands out there!

- 

Different designs, different brands, different sizes, different prices etc. Now you're more confused than ever. Well, in this article I'll teach you how to choose the best camera bag for ‘you’. We'll be looking at various types, brands and price points for you to find the options that work for you.

Before you buy a camera bag, you need to answer the questions below. This will effectively teach you how to choose the best camera bag for you.

WHAT IS A CAMERA BAG FOR?

Firstly, we'll tackle the obvious - what is the purpose of a camera bag? It's to keep your kit safe as you go out and shoot, and to keep it dry (we'll cover this in more detail later.)

WHAT TYPE OF CAMERA BAG DO YOU NEED?

Everybody has different needs when it comes to camera bags, but it basically breaks down into two very simple things:

1. Comfort - you want it to be as comfortable as possible

2. Size - You want it to fit everything you need correctly

Firstly, figure out the kit you've got and then choose a size that is a little bit bigger than your kit size. For example, you'll see product pages with descriptions such as “fits one camera body and two lenses”. If that is your kit, you want to get a bag that can carry more, so that it will be suitable as your kit grows.

It's important to get this balance right, as you want a bag that has enough space to grow into, but not too much space so it’s too big to carry around. So, go for a bag that has a little bit more extra space than the kit you currently have.

WHAT IS YOUR KIT TYPE?

Do you have a DLSR? Do you have a mirrorless camera?
