Before you make a purchase you may well have some questions on your mind. Here we will do our best to answer some of these.
What is the best camera shoulder bag for travel?
If you are travelling you need to combine portability with safety. You will want your precious camera equipment to be easy to access as well as well-padded so it's not going to get damaged as you move around. The Billingham Hadley Pro 2020 combines perfectly these two points, as well as being robustly made so it will last years and years and many trips.
What is the best camera shoulder bag for a mirrorless camera?
As mirrorless cameras are a bit smaller than their cousins the DSLRs, they will fit most shoulder camera bags. So then it's down to what quality and look you want and how many lenses you want to carry with you. For a crop-sensor camera like a Sony Alpha 6500 with a standard kit lens, you can't beat the Hama Monterey Camera Bag, 130, black or the cute Hama Trinidad Camera Bag, 110, Red.
If you are looking to carry an extra lens with you then you would want a slightly bigger bag, such as the Hama Trinidad Camera Bag, 135, Grey or the Lowepro Adventura SH 110 II, Black.
For full-frame cameras such as the Canon EOS R5, something like a Lowepro Adventura SH 160 II, Black would be well-suited, or a MindShift Gear Exposure 13, Solar Flare.
We stock some beautiful leather shoulder bags in-stock here which would look great for street-photography in the city Ona Bond Street Camera Bag, Antique Cognac Leather or the slightly cheaper waved canvas edition Ona Bond Street Camera Bag, Oxford Blue Waxed Canvas.
If you prefer a softer more outdoorsy look then the Think Tank Retrospective 4 V2.0, Pinestone is a good option. It doesn't scream 'camera bag' so doesn't make you a target. It has hook and loop sound silencers, when you need discretion and it has zippered pocket for small valuables.
