Recommend a waist camera bag?

Blitz · 15th February 2002

Hi all,

Need to buy a camera bag which is something like a waist pouch. However I still need to put my normal stuffs in so must be sufficient enuff

My camera is Oly C2040Z. Cos after putting the lens adaptor and UV filter, can't use the original Oly bag liao

Was thinking of the Lowepro series, any to recommend?

To YSLee if u're reading this: John 3:16 sell bags quite cheap is it?

And to Kevin: I'm looking for a bag something like my waist pouch you saw last time

Thanks!

Hey that one looks cool Kamwai...

If you put in the camera, how much space u still roughly have?

Can I have the measurements for it if u dun mind? Thanks!

http://www.lowepro.com <--- stats are here.

John 3:16 will sell Lowepro stuff slightly cheaper than Cathay, but they don't keep stock, so you'll have to order and wait for a few days for the item to arrive.

that;s true...but it is better than a sling bag IMO.

anyway, i bought mine at $40+ from CP

do let me know how much John3:16 offers

Inner dimensions
9W x 5D x 6H (23 x 12.5 x 15 cm)
Exterior dimensions
11.25W x 6.5D x 6.5H in. (28.5 x 16.5 x 16.5 cm)
Weight
1 lb 1 oz (482 g)
Materials
Water-resistant 420D Nailhead™ and 1200D ballistic TXP™

It is enough for me to put in my 707 with Lens hood on, also my wallet and handpone, with air pump, brush...clothes....plenty of space actually. I also bought a water bottle pouch that can be added to the belt at $6.5

also, there are two hood one each side, u can attach a sling and turn it into sling bag if u want

Blitz · 15th February 2002

Seems like my ideal bag..... can put it so many things like Doraemon

Thanks kamwai, I will drop by John 3:16 tomorrow then, and let u know of the price!

Bought meself the Photo Runner from Lowepro.

http://www.lowepro.com/pages/bySeries/trekblt.htm#

Good decent product. Waist pouch-type camera bag. Cool black color.

Paid $52 for it at Cathay. Scouted at John 3:16 first but was quoted $65. *yikes* - so much for selling it cheaper.

All shops at Peninsular are open. Was there earlier this evening.

yours is a bit bigger, and easy to open too.

Yours have the raincoat or not??

i will prefer D-Res series for digital camera, cos the material used is special, it will not scratch the LCD on your DC.

also, the cushion is EXTRA thick, i will not worry to swing my bag around with the camera inside, i even use it as a pillow too.

Nope, no raincoat. Are raincoats common for such packs?

I'm using a Nikon SLR and need the space for my lenses, film & cleaning kit so i need a slightly larger waist pouch.

The D-Res series is specifically designed for Digi Cams, so i guess it'll be catered to their needs. (Which answers Blitz's question). Need mine cause i trek alot and need easy access to my camera - just in case i see a squirrel and a snake locked in battle!

Guess it really depends on your needs.

enjoy!

Any Lowepro with the AW designation will have such a raincoat.

I got my Lowepro Orion Mini from AP for $20.

Packs in my D30 with Sigma 20mm f1.8 OR Canon 28-135 IS USM, the Canon 50mm 1.8 and a spare battery. Well padded, sits well on my bum, great for walking around and street shooting. Loads from the top.
