| Stylish Camera Bag
In the market for a new camera bag, don't want to use the "M" word but something along the lines of a Billingham hadley small/large
I already have a crumpler 6 million dollar home but it's quite deep and the velcro isn't great for when I'm just walking around town, it still shouts camera bag haha. I also have a Kata 3 in 1 if I'm doing some heavy travelling where I need to bring all my camera gear. Speaking of which my new 70-300 takes up 2 spaces in that bag as it doesn't have the same depth as the crumpler :'(
The billinghams are way too expensive for me. Budget probably around $60 I want something that I don't mind taking out everyday with me, room for my 7D + sigma 17-70 + a prime lens is good enough.

My crumpler has the velcro silencer. Guess you have an earlier model. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Might be a bit over budget for you, and I think they're ugly as hell, but the Think Tank Retrospective series have been a huge seller for us. http://www.thinktankphoto.com/produc...ulder-bag.aspx

Have you ever looked at the National Geographic series bags. Most of them are on sale at Broadway Camera. I believe they have the African series online.

Inconspicuous, but the fabric colour I'm not a fan of.

You're a picky one, aren't you? 
How about the Think Tank Urban Disguise series? http://www.thinktankphoto.com/produc...ise-40-v2.aspx

Best option for you would be to use whatever messenger bag you have and buy those foam/velcro dividers.

Spotted this sweet Canon EOS Professional bag this summer in Taiwan.
Looks kind of similar to the Kata 3N1-## series.
No idea what it's called in English, but my GF found it for me on some Taiwanese bidding site.
Senna have you seen this bag before?    http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21012057366980
Me + my 3n1-20 on the left below.

Oo nice size on that bag
Right now I'm leaning towards the 4 million dollar home which meets my size requirements, the style isn't really anything to write home about, reminds me of a lunch bag I used to have when I was in grade 3... but at least its noticeably more casual. I think I might DIY some velcro silencers on my old 6 million dollar home though lol

I was in the market for a bag that was similar to the billinghams as well but I realized alot of the functionality was sacrificed just for the looks.
So I was looking around for awhile and kinda found a compromise, it doesn't have that "soft" look but it doesn't look like a camera bag and holds virtually everything I need to carry. http://www.tenba.com/products/Messen...aptop-Bag.aspx | |
