Getting a camera bag

[hornyMOO]

Hey all, I'm not sure what to get because there are so many choices out there, but I want to be able to fit a modest setup: 400D+Grip, 18-55mm, 55-250mm, 50mm 1.8, 430EX, and if possible, another lens. Also a notebook and some everyday stuff like water bottles and a sketchbook probably. I've been recommended the CompuDaypack but what are the possible choices besides that? My budget is less than S$150.

How large is your laptop? AFAIK, there aren't any dedicated waterbottle straps outside the compudaypack, so the bottle will have to go to the upper 'everyday stuff' compartment.

If you're looking at the budget of S$150, I think the Compudaypack would be a good choice. The newest lowepro fastpack 250 would also serve well I think, but then you can only fit a 15" laptop.

Both backs won't have a problem carrying the setup you currently have.

Have u tried if the 400D+Grip attached can be placed inside the lower compartment?

U have quite a bit of stuff there. Have u considered 2nd hand bags? I think CompuRover is gd.

Yeah, like what fotophillic said, the Lowepro CompuRover seems fitting as well. It's a bit larger and expensive (S$180 if im not wrong), but it will suit you more, especially if you ever buy more lenses / flash units.
