I've been using a bag I got free with my 1st mobile phone but it's not really suitable as a camera bag. To give you an idea of how unsuitable - I put my camera in it along with a bottle of water when I went to my local park a few weeks ago. Bet you can guess what happened, YES the bottle tipped over and I mustn't have put the top on properly so when I went to get my camera out the bottom of the bag was swimming in water. For a few minutes my heart was pounding, I really thought my new DSLR camera was knackered, but thank goodness it was alright just needed the bottom wiping dry.
So I decided to treat myself to a proper camera bag, after a lot of research on the internet I finally decided on a Lowepro Slingshot 200 - £49.95 from Jacobs.
I was inspired by this to write up my own experiences with camera bags. My wife and daughter don't even sneer now when yet another one arrives in the post..
