I've been trying to find the perfect camera bag, or "gadget bag", as we used to call them, for years.

So far I've accumulated a collection of bags that rivals the number of cameras I have, and none are perfect, yet each in its own way, is.

That's because I'm a pack rat, and I tend to bring more stuff along than is needed. So I end up with half a car trunk full of bags with all the cameras and associated photo equipment I think I might need.

The, when I get to where I'm going I usually end up picking a few items from each bag and one bag suitable to carry my selections.

I hope you're not like me and can't make your mind up about what camera bag to use and spend more time taking pictures rather than preparing to take them.

Regardless of your needs pick a well made bag that is sturdy and adequately padded.

Here's a good article about digital camera bag quality and choices by Digital Photography members.

Take a camera with you whenever possible, and look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.
