I recently scored a A550 from Sony (points FTW)...And I guess, accessorizing begins.

Anyone have a suggestion for a camera bag...? You have so many different types...from backpack types to the lunchbag-looking types. So, would really like some recommendations (I'd rather not break the bank on a camera bag)!

Thanks in advance...

 

A Crumpler Five Million Dollar Home should be good for your camera. http://www.amazon.com/Crumpler-Milli...9079418&sr=8-1

The basic bag I use for quick shots and vacation is this one:

I love this bag, carries my whole kit if I need (D90, 18-55,18-70,55-200,50mm and all the little extras)

 

+1. This bag is great.

 

Where are some shots Yummy?

 

Ask me if I bought a memory card yet.

 

+1 on the Crumpler. I have it for my Nikon D90. Best thing is that it doesn't look like a camera bag, so it doesn't scream "steal me" when I'm walking around in the city.

I looked at this bag a few weeks ago. I didn't like it because you have to unsnap the buckles to get to the zippers. What are your thoughts after using it?

 

Actually just unbuckle and peel it open - the zippers unzip really smoothly in one motion without you actually having to pull on the zippers.

 

jupiter I tend to use it with one cross strap on so I can swing it to my front and access the camera from the the pouch on the side. like Jlatimer says, just unbuckle and peel.
I use only the side pouch for access into the main body of the bag, and have never used the big pflap on the back. after getting the camera, close the pouch and swing the bag back onto my back where it site comfortably and stably.

 

This is the bag that I'm going to get.

Love the avy, Mazinger Z. I grew up on that stuff.

 

We went out for groceries and stopped by a couple of places that sells camera bags...looks like we'll be getting a Lowepro one.

 

yes! I win!!!

 

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!


Now, time to procure some memory.

 

I have the smaller Lowepro, so far so good

 

One last question: You have the "backpack" types (the ones that sling over the shoulder) and the more square-like (lunchbox) types...

We are leaning towards Lowepro's smallest backpack type; but is there a difference and advantage to having the other style...?

 

I tend to use the backpack when I'm carrying a lot of my gear. If just a body and a couple lenses, I use a messenger style bag.

 

Hmmm...well, we don't really have any accessories other than what came with the camera.

However, as will be taking it with us when we head off to Japan/Taiwan in a couple of weeks...I'm thinking a backpack type would still be better since I can cram other stuff in the other compartments...?

 

Cool. Now we both have Infiniti FX's and Sony Alpha dSLR's

have you browse thru or sign up at Dyxum.com?

 

And we're both Made in Taiwan...?



What is dyxum.com...?

 

Oh yeah, huh? LOL

Dyxum is an ALL Minolta/Sony Alpha forum.

 

Ah okay, thanks!

 

Nobody's perfect.

 

 

Wait...you hating the camera or the car...or both...?

 

Most likely just the camera. Us, Sony users will get no love anywhere. Get use to it

 

I love the car Yummy.

 

But, but...it was free!

 

Sell me your a550. And you can put the money towards a Canon or Nikon lol

:ibdomsayTAKETHEOFFER!:

 

I already gave him the opportunity to pick up a Canon at great price and he passed.




All jokes aside, I would have taken the free camera too.

 

Yessir, dom did give me a good price.

Perhaps down the road when we outgrow the A550...well, "we" would be the Missus. I'm not into snagging pics as much as she is...

 

Wasn't free, you sold your soul to Sony using their card.

 

Okay fine. Technicalities.

Aren't you supposed to be in a coma recovering from your multiple helpings of turkey, stuffing, pie, and etc. etc...?

 

Actually just one helping of dinner and pie. But I just woke up.
