Yo Guys,

I recently bought a panasonic lumix gh1 and I'm looking for a case for it. Its a bit smaller and lighter than most cameras like the canon 60d, so it should fit in any bag that fits those. it would be ideal to be able to fit an extra lens or two, maybe a portable harddrive, and any other little camera accessories i might want to have with me. I have no idea how much this shit costs. Id b down for a backpack that has all this storage too, I know Dakine makes some nice ones but they're a lot more expensive than im looking to pay right now.


what do you guys have, what do you like and dislike about it? and what are some good sites or stores to start looking in?


thanks

this is what i use. i've had no problems with it. you can fit two cameras and some lens's. there are also alot of other pockets to put your stuff in.

f-stop makes the best camera bags hands down

this is the smallest bag and you could fit tons of stuff in here

F-stop definitely wins quality wise and their bags kick ass. But I use (for the time being) a burton zoom pack. Can't wait to get a nice F-Stop though

I bought a f-stop icu, and just toss it in whatever pack I'm using, still not too sure how much I like that system, the medium icy barely fits in my faking blade pack, but it's worked pretty well so far

Dakine sequence. About the only downside is that it doesnt really have enough dividers, i need to find a way to order some more.

I have used a few different camera bags and hands down, F-Stop.
So comfortable, everything fits perfectly, and just all around the dopest bags.

Right now I use a Tamrac cyberpack 6, big enough to hold my DSLR shit (body and 3 lenses) and an HVX. Sadly I gotta upgrade for a bag I can take into powder, which will either be f-stop or burton depending on how much cash I can get

make them your self with a little bit of foam and velcro

I also use a sequence, if you can't afford an fstop, they are the next best thing for taking your cam out on the mountain with. plus it also has ski straps and plenty of room for other non photo gear

I just put the F-Stop ICU into my Black Diamond covert pack..But most of the time i'll just throw the camera and an extra lens into my normal BD pack.
