Which camera bag would you choose? Come vote!

My husband has decided to buy me a cute camera bag for Valentine's Day to house the new camera I got for my birthday. I've narrowed it down to two different camera bags but now I can't decide. I take my camera with me wherever we go on the weekends - usually to football, disney, camping, fun little outtings, etc.

I need something that can take a little bit of rain (or sometimes a fair amount of rain at Disney), is easy to get in and out of and has storage for lots of stuff and looks good enough to pass as a purse.

Small Red Bag by Jill-e. My main concern is that it's going to be hard to get my camera in and out. I do think it will have more accessible storage than the Epiphanie bag. It's also cheaper, but really if I want the other I can afford it. I would also consider this in black b/c black goes with everything.



Ginger by Epiphanie - Not sure exactly how big this is going to be in real life. I like the style (I would buy a purse like this in a heart beat!). I think I might be able to get into this bag quickly and get the camera out. Adequate storage, if I got another lens I wouldn't be able to carry as much personal stuff.


So which would you choose and why?

the ginger epiphanie. I like the look better, plus it looks a lot more convenient to get the camera in and out. the jill-e just looks awkward and bulky...very box-ish/

Hands down the ginger. It just is cuter (IMHO) and getting the camera in and out would be so much easier. Plus the inside color (LOVE IT)! But the outside is basic black which never goes out of style!

Lucky you! I'll start by recommending you ignore me completely, because I don't even have a DSLR. But I <3 the look of the Epiphanie bags. The Jill-e looks a lot more like a gear bag. The site gives the dimensions of the Ginger. When I've ordered bags online, I got an idea of size by comparing the dimensions to other bags I already had.

I just like the 2nd one better

I'd get the Ginger - in fact I've been considering it for a while since I first started paying attention to the camera bag threads here I like the look much better, plus it seems like it would be easier to use.

Having said that, there's another style of the Jill-e bag (shown in the preview photos) that I'd look at more closely. It looks a bit taller and not as wide as the one you're looking at.

I'm like Kate - ever since I got interested in getting one of the cool camera bags that are available, I love reading these threads for ideas, although I'm personally still reeling from all the options . . .

Looks like it's the Ginger is a hands-down favorite, though - if you're seriously considering a purchase, I say "go for it!"

The epiphanie, hands down!!
I really love the Bella and the Lola bag too. So cute!! Wish I had a camera that needs a camera bag. lol
