Camera Bag for 40d - help please!

[Photo-JJ]

Hey guys

I now have my Canon 40d with 17-85mm lens and a 75-300mm lens.

Already I am very concerned that it is not protected so I have been frantically looking around at camera bags. I have tried searching the site too but haven't come up with anything which specifically suits what I need.

Some of the bags I have seen are quite pricey, if I have to, then I will buy one. I did however stumble across this on play.com: http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/9692336/i-Nique-Tuff-Luv-All-Weather-Large-Shoulder-Bag-for-Digital-SLR-Camera/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0

I know it is cheap but can anyone advise on whether this is likely to be suitable for my needs and/or if not, would appreciate some ideas, preferably not too expensive as I am completely poor following my recent purchase!

Aside from the camera and two lenses, it would be useful if I can carry the charger / memory cards and that sort of thing. Not anticipating any other lens purchases for a while.

Thanks in advance, J.

The Canon 10EG bag would do the trick I like mine. I notice that WEX are giving them away with EOS 7D's so there might be one or two appearing in the for sale section soon. Otherwise best price about £50.

I have this which I would recommend. It is quite deep will take my 40D with 100-400 attached, it is well made and have had on tramrac bag before and they are very durable

That looks like a really decent bit of kit for the price!

Well made and the padding is decent, only downside is that it's very small....the photos make it look bigger than it does in the flesh....

No room for a packed lunch etc but still, you won't go far wrong for £20!!

Ah must be deceiving, my first impression was that it looked rather large.
Still though, for 20quid, sure you will have change left over to by your lunch whilst out on your travels.
