hi there. does anyone know where i can get good camera bags (prefarably shoulder type with raincoat or weather proof) around kl and pj area? my budget is rm200. tq.

Lowepro's have that. my new bag doesn't!

I brought my Apex 140 AW into paintball arena, no problem. so nice to have the rain-coat ability.

you can try places like DirectPhoto. You might see Lowepros at various camera shops but I think they're marked up quite a fair bit.

around RM200 i dun think u got much choice from lowepro, and probably small ones only that can fit a body with 1 lens.. if u dun mind used ones, then take a look here..

YL Camera in Pudu Plaza gives good pricing for Lowepro bags. Try and contact them to see what RM200 can get you then look at the product online.

here's my feedback on the Apex 140 AW

i could fit 350D + kit lens + prime + 70-300mm + a few batteries. but packed like "bak chang" la.

slap on battery grip to 350D and that's it - no place already.

very tricky. btw i got it for RM 100 only, new unit.

Hey! I have exactly the equipments that you have!
I'm still using the sling bag that I got for free with all those things inside.
If I go photo shooting, I'll carry that sling bag together with the free Canon backpack to fit in my free tripod and ex430 (now that's not free)

Maybe I should go look for a bag that can fit all.

my personal votes goes to the tamrac system 6 that i'm using.. have 2 units, 1 sold to my friend.. bought mine for RM150, used around 1 year, with free cokin filters and holders..

Where can i get those? RM150 for new or used?

u have to hunt them... haha.. try to fins at garage sales.. i found mine there..

Lucky you.

tamrac system 6 for rm150? wow.. i haven't found any good deals in forums. need a bag by tomorrow evening. probably gonna go out to kl to hunt for the bag. any shops to recommend?

could only think of YL camera like what compmac suggested.. they have tonnes of lowepros and some other brands to choose from..

how about tamrac bags? couldn't find much on them. mostly i only found lowepro

I need a recommendation. Things that I could put into a camera bag is;

camera body, kit lens, 18-200mm lens, battery grip.

Need a good and affordable. Thanks..

wanna tumpang too is there such thing as a "waist" bag?? jsut to hold the camera + lens on........

no such thign rite?? kinda tired from carrying on the shoulder

tamrac has a few convertible hip bag if i'm not mistaken, and i believe lowepro has some model that only hold a body with lens attached.. not very sure of the model name though..

check here..http://www.tamrac.com/g_convertible.htm

There are such a thing, go for Lowepro bags like Photo Runner, Sideline Shooter, Off Trail 1/2 or shoulder+waist bags like Lowepro Off Road. Check out the link below.

the infamous slingshot 100/200 will do the job. I suggest to get at least the slingshot 200. Some extra room wont hurt as you can always toss water/cloth/spare shirt or whatever you want in the bag.

Yeah, its a great bag, you can access to your camera quickly also. I've used it before and it sure feel lighter compared to those shoulder bags. But I'm selling mine cause I prefer the Off Road more. If you are interested of the SlingShot 200 AW, just PM me, ok.

wah........so expensive le.......................

hmm cant seem to find a cheap hip bag below rm100
