Thanks very much to everyone for such informative and usefull replies!! Ive heard a bit about the pickpockets and will be walking with a locked bag.. had no idea people were resorting to stealing lenses off cameras.. jees.. fortunately my kit is basic but i will be doing what i can to keep it...

Hi guys, I'm heading out to Rome next week and after seeing a few people on here that have visited, I wondered if any of you had any tips or suggestions.. for instance on locations to shoot besides the obvious big ones! and also, I wondered if any places didnt allow you to set up tripods? or...

Just as a little update.. Based on the amount of photographic and non photographic kit i would need to take.. the option of only carrying on handluggage sadly wasnt an option. It turned out to be cheaper and less stressful to check in a larger bag. I managed to get cheaper flights through...

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to everyone who has replied on here!! really helped not just with bag choice but some nifty tips aswell! have to say that my ideal bag would be the F-stop, it looks fantastically comfortable, durable and the ability to alter size would make it good to go...

Thanks for your suggestions! i haddnt looked at any tamrac ones.. i guess that after reading the dimensions id be stuck if a happy ryanair person confronted me but its very usefull to know a bag of this size can fit under the seat! thanks again, Pete

thanks for this suggestion David, considering cutting back on the padding is deffinitely an option as i dont have a massive amount of kit. most the space will be clothes etc. checked out the packington but think il stick with a backpack to spread the weight evenly, thanks again :)

Hi Alastair, thanks very much for your reply, packing a smaller daysack would definitely be an option for this particular trip. Good point about the shape of camera bags aswell. I'll look into your suggested one. Does anyone else have any large ish camera bags that can be carried onto a...

Haha, I have heard a few people say the same thing.. The trip I'm planning will be double as a dry run for future longer ones, and if the balance of having a good time : getting good images isn't spot on, I would definitely look into the alternatives to dslrs

Hi all, I thought this required a separate thread to my other post asking about the logistics of backpacking with camera gear.. I'm planning a couple of week long trips in Europe and am trying to find the largest possible camera bag that I can take on a plane as hand luggage.. And ideally stow...

Thanks for that Terry! I stumbled across jacobs tp thread & will definitely check out the blog

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll have a look into the satori. Good to know that you've managed to get it on a plane! Cab anyone suggest any other reasonably sized bags that they've managed to easily carry on as hand luggage, and ideally managed to store under the plane seat infront! I saw a...

Hi all, after reading a lot of blogs and posts from people traveling the world and taking some stunning images, I'm hoping to (very slowly) start to do the same.. and I'm planning a short trip to italy (less than a weeks duration) with my 550d and 3 small lenses. I'm a little bit confused as...

How did you get on Stu? I was in a similar situation myself the other week... im very interested in how the 17-55 and 70-200 held up, esp in low light. will you be considering buying one / both of them? looking forward to seeing some of the shots! Pete
