Oo... Nah, I am nt those professional, I only got a 18-70 lens which is attached to body.... But it seems too long to be fit in any bag.. Any nice bag to intro? Yes, I walk and travel a lot... Lol

Thx for the guidance.. Total newbie here

its not really 'healthy' for ur camera body if u keep attaching and removing the lense(s) from it..
just stick the lens in it.. and put it with the lens pointing front/left/right.. not pointing downwards/backwards.. pointing up is okay also i guess

Hi tplus1, welcome to the Orange Legion!

Basic camera bags will allow you to carry 1 dslr with a lens attached, trust me, 18-70mm kit is not that long. Normally I just put my camera inside a normal backpack with its lens attaced and bring it around but I guess a proper camera bag is essential as they have paddings which protect your camera even if the bag suffers from a fall. You can have a look at brands such as Bagman, Crumpler, lowpro to name a few or you could opt for "brandless" camera bags.

woob..
thx for all the help!

think i need a bag..

but i got too much stuff in my bag... 15.6" lappy, ipad, book, now a DSLR instead a compact! LOL!!!!!!! ditching my laptop on next outing..

those crumplers 5MDH or stuff right?

*hunting*

woah ipad... haha...surely will get more lenses sooner rather than later... haha.

choosing a bag really depends on what you're gonna bring out. Lets say u NEED to bring ur laptop/ipad together with ur camera then u definitely need one with a laptop compartment.

a cheaper alternative to the 5MDH or rather 7MDH is the Bagman Sling Bag (large). or you can try the Driftwood Series which is really cheap but offers really good padding IMO.

woob, i gonna make my laptop desktop just like wht i did this few months,

haha.. so any recommended bag? O.O

i didnt see any thread of bags for DsLR T.T

hmm, bagman huh, wheres the official shop? liike i know crumpler got two, KLCC and pavillion, i never really notice there is a bagman brand

with your 'gear' just being the kitlens with the body, Id suggest something smaller (maybe to fit a body + lens, 1 more lens and a flash)... Crumpler's 5MDH would be a great choice for a more casual look. Lowepro gives a more professional look IMO. this is of course provided you have the budget...

a crumpler can cost up to as much as rm300-500 depending on model, but the bagman (same size as 7MDH) cost only rm165. so the amount of money you are willing to spend on a bag also plays a part in choosing a bag.

woobkay.. thx for the detailed explain~ really thx~ just the help i need to enter DSLR world, lol..

will try eyeing on sales thread, but i notice u selling a bagman sling bag, lol

can it fit an ipad into it?

lol. of course it can fit the ipad bro but theres no dedicated sleeve/compartment for an ipad (means u just chuck it in)...
but the current driftwood bag that im using has a zip'ed compartment which i think would fit an ipad.
search for 'driftwood' in garage sale "photography accessories" section.

@tplus1 - Crumpler is the way 2 go XD But it cost a bit more than normal since its branded lol. Crumpler 6 million, any1?

woob, thx, big thx, hunting now, XD

will need some other guidance next time, XD
