Having just spent a week walking around cities and towns in North Africa, I can tell you a thing or two about carrying a camera in a shoulder bag. It boils down to this: Pain. I took the Gadget Lab Stealth Bag with padding removed, and even then the weight of a Panasonic GF1, a lens and a few sundries cut into my shoulder and cricked my aging back after a few hours. If only I'd had the garish plastic Camera Day Pack from Photojojo.
Big enough, but not too big. A Goldilocks among bags, if you will
The bag is designed to carry an SLR with a flash, and the main compartment can be divided into two or three sections, or left as a single big cavern for larger setups. Crucially it also has a bunch of pockets (five) scattered variously around the edges for carrying other essentials like your wallet, memory cards and phone.
The nylon bag also zips shut to keep out dust and rain (and pilfering fingers), and has a pad on the strap so you don't suffer the same shoulder-crushing fate as I did.
Stealthy this bag is not, but it is certainly practical and comfortable looking. And at $60 it's cheap, as photo gear goes. Available now.
