I have always enjoyed articles in magazines that show what the pros carry in their c amera bags. Gave me some good ideas of must have gear over the years. I would be interested to hear what you all have in your camera bag or if you have more than will fit what gear you own and what gear you normally cary with you.
I'll chime in first Lowepro NOVA AW1 primary bag that goes everywhere I go except in the shower and to bed Fuji S-9100 loaded with 2GB Sandisc Ultra II CF and Olympus 1GB H xD and batteries, 58mm Tiffen UV filter attached In hard xD memory card case Olympus 1GB H xD, Fuji 1GB M xD, Olympus 512MB M xD, Olympus 256MB xD, Fuji 16MB x2 xD cards In plastic cases CTA 2500mha x4; Energizers 2500mha x4 ;Energizers 2300mha x4 (2 complete sets); Impact 2700mha x4 Olympus wall battery charger Small memo notebook, 3 pens Lens cleaning cloth in ziplock baggy 2x1 quart size baggies for holding camera and gear in rain storm Small cloth 6" square to wipe lens and screen in rain Business cards with contact info Attached to side of bag ID badge In waist pouch (Eagle Brand bought at camping store): Sunpack 383 flash with Impact 2700mha x4 loaded Lens hood for Fuji S9100 15-in-1 memory card reader and 1' USB cable (got at Sams Club) Additional Gear I have for use in disasters, long power outages, really big events etc 20GB Wolverine Memory Card Storage Device Additional battery charger (AC/DC charger) 40GB mini USB Hard Drive made from a 40GB hard drive shipped in a dell......

Hmm, kinda makes me glad I don't have a camera bag.
I tend to put my camera in my backpack and maybe put in an extra lens and spare battery if I think I'll need it. Usually though I just choose a lens for the day slap it on the camera, put in a fresh battery and off I go. I do worry a bit that I'll forget I have my camera in there and drop the bag on a hard surface, but it hasn't happened yet and cameras seem to be more robust than they are generally given credit for. ![]() |

Besides cameras, lenses, hoods and caps?
Angle Viewfinder. Maybe a spare battery and charger if I'll be away for a while. I don't clean my lenses on the road, and if I really need to, I can buy Q-Tips and distilled water anywhere. And I carry business cards with me all the time anyway (though they're for my IT business.) I'll admit that a couple of big ZipLoks is a good idea though, but not for long term storage. |

This is in the very modest (Roots Digital DV30) bag:
1) Fuji S9100 with 58mm Tiffen Sky 1A filter, 1gb 60x ATP CF card, 1gb Fuji Type-M xD card, card casesand lens hood 2) Tiffen 58mm Polarizer and case 3) Tripod quick-release plate 4) Mini-tripod 5)16" cable release 6) USB and A-V cables 7) 2 extra sets of Energizer 2500 mAh NIMH batteries and charger 8) Camera neck-strap 9) Chamois lens cleaning cloth and fluid in a small ziplock bag. I've never tried using a ziplock bag to protect the camera in the rain - I'm too much of a fraidy-cat I guess. Does this actually work? |

With a small hole cut out for the lens it works for short term rain. Just need to wipe the lens glass dry at times.
Also only 2 sets of batteries. I find I need four sets in order to make it through a 5 to 6 hour event. dave |
