Yes
I'm tired of carrying my camera around my neck or leaving it my rucksack rattling around with other bits so I thought I would invest in a proper camera bag. I was thinking of going for the Lowepro Edge 250 AW but thought I would check here for any recommendations before buying.

Ideally it would need to accommodate a Canon 600D, 24-105L, 70-200L and 50mm 1.8 and general accessories.
I don't think I will carry a tripod. I don't plan on carrying any more than 3 lenses.

Have I made a good choice or could you recommend another? I don't want a large bag, and I'm quite vain, so after something that looks fashionable :D
 
Have you considered the "Domke Wrap"?
They look versatile & arguably make any bag you have into a camera bag.
No, I'm not an employee ;-). Just a suggestion.
 
One of the main things about bags is getting the right fit. Different bag styles suit people differently. So either try as many as possible or buy from somewhere you can return it to

Firstly, what type of bag do you want? Backpack, shoulder, messenger, sling? Are you ok with taking it all off, putting it down, unzipping and swapping lenses - or do you prefer having it all move around and swapping while its still on your shoulders? Then size (but you have your kit so you just have to put it in and try. Then, what about all the sundries; laptop, tablet, sandwiches, jacket...

This is why one bag is never right [emoji4]

:agree: I have 5 bags which all see use depending on what I'm doing and sadly I still look at peli style cases or keeping it at home or moving it in the car. Best advice I could give is to stop caring about the bag and care ore about the image- too late for me but if I can save someone, aaaaaghhhh
 
Thanks for responding :). For now I'll stick with buying a single camera bag :) - I think I would prefer a sling for quick access because I'll be walking around a lot and don't want the inconvenience of stopping. I don't want too big a bag because I don't want to carry the weight. It'll just be the body, lenses and maybe a bottle of water

I would love to have a look at camera bags in person to see what would suit me but there isn't that many photography shops in Oxford :(. I have to rely on looking at photos/reviews online.
