Hello! :D
I just wondered if anyone could recommend me a camera bag that is as small as possible whilst still fitting my 350D and kit lens...at the moment I have the Lowepro Rezo 170 which is pretty small but if possible I want to get hold of an even smaller one to take on holiday with me....
Thanks in advance :)

Dimensions: Internal 12cm(H) x 9cm(W) x 4.5cm(D)

Probably a bit small then, ignore my post :bang:

Hi I bought a Lowepro Apex 140AW for my daughter, she keeps a 400D & a 28-200 (short zoom) in it no problem, I'm well impressed with it.

Hi I've got the Lowepro Apex 120AW which takes my Nikon D40X and my kit lens OR my 55-200 lens. The only problem I find is that they are a bit bulky, but very good for protecting camera. I tend to leave the bag in the car if I'm going on a long trek, and just put the camera and lens in my rucksack wrapped up in my spare fleece.

if you just want the camera and 18-55mm lens, why not try something like the Lowepro TLZ10/20. It has a small pocket on the front for spare cards, fliters, batteries etc, but very little else so will be only a little bigger than the camera. You can probably get this for around £15-20 from most places.

Canon also do a semi rigid shell case for the 350/400d which attaches the tripod mount on the camera and basically covers the camera only and has no other pockets. About £20 (I saw them in Currys the other day)

That Crumpler bag is tiny. I inadvertantly bought one after I bought our 400D last year, as I was looking for cheap bag but you can barely fit the 400D body into it, never mind a lens too!!??

Prob Best To Pop Into Jessops Or Cam Shop And Check Out How Big They Are In Person, And If You Unsure If It Fits, Use The One Of Display To Check

I have the lowe pro mini zoom top loader for my 400d and kit lens.

How about my very first bag, the Lowepro Slingshot AW 100?

Not sure if you're looking for a backpack type thingy, but if so, this should do the trick

Cheers, Mark

how about a crumpler pretty boy XL, some mags are giving it away with a 12 month subscription, alternatively it's about £30 and fits my 30D and 24-105 (just)

Wes,

Just a quickie (sorry if I'm hijacking this thread in any way), your name rang a bell whilst looking through one of this month's mags, picture of a gull in mid flight taking some food off someone.

Fab picture that's been shortlisted :thumbs:
