does the bag look like a gal's bag? thanks!

today's haul



I went down to the camera shop to try out both the bags that i asked earlier, the lowepro messenger and the passport. My first impression on the messenger was OMG, the side padding is soooo thin that it is like a normal bag padding, cant protect my gears at all. That's why i chose the passport although the design is not really what i looking for, at least it has thick paddings and is within my budget. The outlook of the bag is quite simple, and it is quite troublesome to take out your camera as you have to unzip first, unlike other bags where u can just flip open the front cover to take out your camera. But for the price i paid for a lowepro bag, i cant really complain much xD

Cheers~

hmmm... not sure bout that as i never own a flip open camera bag... but sooner or later i will get use to it xD

yeap... what is your budget? if u have rm2.5k budget, you can straight get a550+1855... it can last you longer and it is a very fun dslr too!! IMO, telephoto lens is not really a must unless you really like to take candid shots

haha... it's up to u la... u asking in alpha thread of course we will push for alpha. same goes for Nikon. but the reason that i bought alpha over Nikon was i want to use AF with 50mm prime... and u can use cheap minolta lens with sony too! unlike all the expensive nikon VR lenses...

edit: if taking food photo, i think 1855 will be fine for u so straight go for a550 xD
