The Best Camera Bags for Women

What Are the Best Camera Bags for Women? My girlfriend is into photography, and her birthday was coming up recently, so I wanted to get her something that she could really put to good use. I thought, why not get her a camera bag, so she can easily carry her camera around with her wherever she goes.

The thing is, once I started looking at all the different camera bags that are available, there are so many that it's hard to choose. To make things easier I decided to split all the womens camera bags into three main categories: Backpack Camera Bags, Small Camera Bags and Stylish Camera Bags.

As you can see, I managed to find a good selection of each type of bag. For example, if you're looking for a stylish camera bag, the Kelly Moore B-Hobo Bag Walnut Fashionable Camera Bag is a fantastic choice, and doesn't even look like a camera bag at all! The only problem is it's a bit on the pricey side.

If you're looking for a more practical backpack style camera bag, there are still plenty to choose from. Some of them still have a feminine look, such as the Jill-E Kaleidoscope Camera Backpack or the Jill-E Baroque Camera Backpack. Alternatively, if you want something smaller to fit just the camera, the Laurel Compact Edition Nylon DSLR Camera Carrying Handbag is a great choice.

Carry your camera everywhere with you in style!

Why not just any bag will do. You need a good quality camera bag.

Camera bags are great for carrying your camera and accessories. Of course, some people try to make do by just using a standard bag to carry their camera, such as a normal backpack. This is a mistake, because many camera bags are shaped to fit a camera, and the backpack style camera bags have padding and compartments to enable you to safely carry your camera and accessories without them getting damaged.

Camera bags have a number of benefits over standard bags, for example:

• Small camera bags don't take up much space, and your camera fits neatly insite with padding to protect it.
• Larger camera bags, such as the backpack style bags, contains multiple padded compartments for lenses and other accessories.
• Stylish camera bags don't even look like camera bags, they just look like stylish bags that you would be proud to show off.
• Having a camera bag means you can easily keep your camera with you wherever you go, so if you spot a photograph opportunity you are ready to shoot.

Which women's camera bag is best for you?

So, you want to get a camera bag, but you're not quite sure which type to get? Here we have featured three different types of camera bag: Stylish Camera Bags, Backpack Camera Bags, and Small Camera Bags. So, which type would best suit your needs?

Consider the following:

• How big do you want the bag to be?
• Do you own a digital SLR or a compact camera?
• Do you need to be able to carry lenses and other accessories in your camera bag?
• Do you want it to look like a stylish lady's bag rather than a typical camera bag?
• How much money are you going to spend on your camera bag?
• Are you serious about photography?
• Do you do a lot of outdoor photography?

Whichever camera bag you get, make sure it is the right bag for your needs. For example, don't just get a small bag if you have lots of lenses to carry. On the other hand, there's no point getting a big backpack if you're only going to be carrying your camera and no other accessories.
