I was always using the original DSLR bag and try to find a canvas one as I really like the feeling of canvas. I have the the below two choice, which one is better?

Hello and welcome Clay, Camera bags! There will be a different answer for every post... :doh:

My two penny worth is the first bag seems wider and less deep, the other bag, the Domke seems narrower and deeper. To me that seems like the gear will be on top of each other, unless there is some way of separating the items they will clash and rub together, also it means you have to remove the top items to get at what is below.

Given the choice I would go for the Koolertron provided there are dividers inside to keep the kit separated. I notice none of the images show the inside of the bag, which makes me wonder and the product description at a tad poetic... Without being particularly descriptive.

Hi Clay welcome to the forum.

The Domke bag should be pretty well made and work OK but it does look a bit deep so you may find that you need to pile stuff into it.

The Koolertron stuff looks like a copy of the Billingham bags (also made of canvas). I dont know the Koolertron make so cant comment except that it looks more like the bag that I would go for.


as a general item. I dont think there is a perfect only a best one for the occasion. I have 9 camera bags and backpacks under my desk that I use for various assignments!

Making choice is hard to me, so I have ordered it. Hope it will not be too bad.

If the Kooltron is based on the Billingham then it should be good, and much cheaper than the Billingham.

Yes I have a Billingham 585 and a smaller version that have worked well for me. I also use LowePro Trekker and Mini Trekkers.

The Billingham 585 has rubberised canvas that is a little stiffer these days (after 30 years use) but it works.

My pleasure Clay, hope it gives good service. You may find it's not perfect for every occasion but that will be your chance to start a collection of different types, like most of us have.

Happy Christmas
