Cathay is like THE BEST place to hunt for camera Bags in Singapore. They have like a dedicated section in their shop for these.

Tim: Maybe you can show the lappie compartment?

Alamak...
Now cannot... anyway, it is a seperate compartment with lotsa hard padding, which at times, u feel safe with ur computer inside. It is a single side zipper compartment. The rest all have double zipper.

The not so syiok part it they don't have proper place for computer charger + power adapter + mouse...

Try to. That's why I need a bag that doesn't scream 'camera'.

And scream 'Steal Me'!!!

Anyway I don't bring my camera knapsack around. It make me look like school boi. Hehehehe! I have two bags. A Lowepro Nova mid size carrying case and a Caseman/Bagman knapsack for traveling purposes. Its very comfortable and has ample storage for equipment and gear. Lots of hidden pockets.

Might as well tuck in a raincoat into ur crumpler. Can AW yourself including the bag
Once got caught in heavy rain during jungle trakking. All i have is a black garbage plastic bag to cover my camera bag.
After the lesson, my raincoat never leave the camera bag.

Well, as far as i know, cathay is the distributor for lowepro bags in singapore.
Btw, does anyone know the street price for the lowepro fastpack 200? Thanks.

I think is also a primary concern nowadays. Be carefull what you flash around in public.

.... Sound like a good idea. Currently I stuff in the plastic shopping bag the CRumpler came with, so I know that would fit the Whole bag in. And a couple of zipper Bags big enough to stock my camera with lenses attached, just in case,,,,

Oh. No wonder they have like the WHOLE range. Thanks for the info.

Caseman/Bagman knapsack? Apa tu? Got pic or URL?

My cam bag.loving it.

How much izzit?

slingshot A100 or A200?
was thinking of getting 1 but not sure yet...
any comment frm u?

Got it for rm270 from mitmivec.

Mine's the slingshot 200AW. Great bag for starters like me,very easy to get access to the camera compartment to take your dSLR out and start snapping. Thats what i love about this bag. The space inside can hold a 40D+Grip+kitlens,a normal tele lense,a prime lense and a flashgun.depending on your configuration though. I've seen people filling this bag with those uber expensive L lenses too.

The only downside of this bag i can think of now is theres not enough space for your own items,eg clothes,books etc.only can fit small items in the top and front compartment. And also after carrying the bag for a long time my shoulder starts to hurt.

I'm looking for the fastpack series. Anyone know where i can find them (at a reasonable price)? Thanks ^^

hmm.. if not mistaken, derek87 got one just like the slingback series but it's Canon branded and only RM99 or RM199.

PM him!

You can try to find mitmivec. He does sell the fastpack series though when i met up with him he had only the Fastpack 200 and Fastpack 350. Nice dude.

Oh that bag.saw it for sale in some camera shop in 1Utama. Asked for the price and they told me rm300+ Good then if you can get it at rm199 or rm99.

yeah.. even canon pro shop in berjaya time square selling it at RM299.

but can be gotten cheaper. PM him to ask.

hmm.. is it derek87 or is it mengsuan? forgot liao.

Yeah the RRP is way too expensive. Anyway on the bag there's a huge Canon EOS label, i find that too flashy

Hmm iianm its mengsuan. He got it when he bought his 40D i think.

ive always wanted to ask this...

u know the 2 'rubber' black 'strap' at the back of the bag? i know its for carrying tripods but how on earth do u use it?? i've never figured that 1 out....

do u force the tripod in ? and the rubber thing expands over time?

im using the aw300 btw...

Could it be just to insert 1 leg of the tripod in? Like a monopod?

if u put 1 leg in with the tripod in its 'compact' mode it wont be properly held... monopods i can understand just slot it in the straps. but tripods are larger....

im confused now....
