i just bought a tenba Messenger bag for daily use
http://www.tenba.com/Collections/Messenger.aspx
best part is, it is not sold in singapore
This is a nice and durable bag. I got a similar one from OP 2 years back. Not sure whether they are still carrying it :think:
actually i think the problem with billinghams is that it look like an expensive bag (alright, it is an expensive bag). so it kind of defeat the purpose of having a bag that does not look like a camera bag. thieves will still wants to steal your bag bcos it looks expensive.:dunno:
This is my DIY Porter Bag.
Just got a padded insert...
haha...
i got two porter bags....
n with enuf padding i can seriously snug my 500d in..
but i dunno where to get the padding:dunno:???
ermm i dun think it look expensive cos it is of canvas material... not leather.
besides... if u get the black color... it is almost just like any other ordinary canvas bag...
although the sage color is a bit more catchy since its green.My crumpler "King Single" laptop bag was stolen last year. Thankfully I did not bring my notebook out that day. But my personal HDD was gone together with loads of misc stuff as aI use it as an everyday backpack. Made a police report and thru them, theives are targetting laptop bags.
Now using a Timberland laptop back that looks like an ordinary backpack.
No more Crumpler for me.
Am considering Kata Sensitivity V as a camera/notebook/everyday backpack.
i am looking for "i am not camera bag" too... haha.

thinking of DIY insets too, but anyone know where i can get the sponge? checked homefix n popular today but couldnt find...

got some recommendation from other forums. can check out tkfoto shop in shaw tower again. go their website and check out their products. they have some nice camera bags that does not look like camera bags
DIY inserts - go beach road market buy ground sheet and yoga mat (one big piece of foam)/ cut and use cloth tape to form into appropriate sized padding.
actually thats what i did initially since current camera backpacks not really that comfortable for my back.

I still using this for my camera, weather proof and can put lots of extras in - even a jacket and a tripod. Quite useful for oversea usage when u are in unfamiliar land, though i dont carry around charger and laptop like the guy, else i would broke my back before i know it. And i just put my lens padded inside those water proof lunch box for extra protection!

oh, so you get a big lunch box(like lock n lock) and place some padding in them? :think:
sounds like a good idea
I too was looking for a camera bag that doesnt look like a camera bag. In the end I bought the crumpler 7 million. Of cos I know that crumpler bags are very common, however this reason actually helps in disguising the bag. Everyone knows that crumpler sling bags = school bags, so they will always assume it this way. Yesterday i went out with my gf, and she wanted to put a magazine into my bag, then I told her its a camera bag no space for her mag, she don believe its a camera bag and I had to open up to proof to her lol.
