I am somewhat embarrassed to confess that I have many more camera bags than my wife has handbags. (And this is before I threw out about half a dozen of her bags)
So, I can give you good advise here.
Don't get:
- a big bag
- bag with cheap zips
- until you actually see it in front of you
Do get one that has:
- narrow but deep main storage (anything wider than your shoulders and you are asking for trouble)
- YKK zips (I will never again buy Lowepro for this reason)
- enough length to store body+70-200mm with lens hood attached
- pull out tripod flap if possible
There are a whole host of dos and don'ts but it's too early in the morning to think.
If you want "pro" looking bags then check out Think Tank and F-stop. Think Tank are better value but F-Stop have a better mountain range.
Actually, I have a Think Tank Sling-o-matic 100 (somewhere) to sell for 100€, plus postage. In excellent condition.
