Best DSLR Bag for an Olympus E520?

Question

I'm looking for a compact slingback/backup style to carry my E520.

I need room to carry the camera with standard lens, plus one additional lens. I would also like to carry my battery charger and PC cables as well.

I don't need to store cellphones, lipstick (:-) along with it.

I'm 5'4" and 110 pounds, so I really don't want a big, honking bag to lug around.

I was looking at the Tamrac 5766 Compact and am getting mixed reviews. Some say it's big enough, others say not. I guess part of the answer relates to the size of the Olympus body itself....is it bigger than most? or average?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Olympus E-4xx and E-5xx series cameras are actually smaller than most thanks to the 4/3 system. That Tamrac would work fine. I would recommend going to a camera store and actually putting your camera in some bags to get the best choice. That's the best way, hands on.

Answer 2

I'm also looking for a good DSLR bag for my E410.  

I will show you some of the ones I have found that look good.  I know my camera is a lot smaller then yours but I do want a bag that can fit my camera and 2 lens with room for accessories.

This one looks really nice a little bigger then what I want but would fit everything.

Not a back pack but looks nice.

This back pack is made by Lowepro I have seen their stuff and it looks well made.

I'm having a hard time too finding a bag that is big enough but not too big for everything I want.  Good luck I would be interested to know what you end up getting.

I myself am leaning towards the Lowepro Micro Trekker.  It's small but has lots of room for lenses and anything else you can put in it.
