Stylish Camera Bags for SLR Cameras: Men and Women

Updated on September 26, 2016

Stylish Camera Bags

You're taking beautiful photos, now get a stylish camera bag to match (read: You've spent a bundle on a fancy camera, now get something to protect it!). You may think they are hard to find, but stylish camera bags for both men and women do exist--and they are a must-have if you've already invested money into a SLR camera and accessories. Both professional and amateur photographers know that SLR (single-lens reflex) cameras are pricey, but there's no need to sacrifice fashion for function (I know I wanted both!).

Stylish camera bags are available in a variety of styles, namely: backpack, shoulder and holster. This guide will introduce you to some of the best stylish camera bags (and for a great price!), and will also help you determine what style is best for you. You'll also learn which we chose for our camera.

Holster Camera Bags - Follows the shape of your camera

If you're looking for something that holds your camera as securely as possible, the holster is up your alley. It's made to fit the exact shape of your camera so that it's always snug and secure. Typically, they don't hold as many of the extras, though.

Which Stylish Camera Bag is Right for You?

Backpack, Shoulder, Holster

When evaluating stylish camera bags, it's important to keep a few things in mind to best help you determine which stylish camera bag will best suit your needs.

Backpack SLR Camera Bags:

Extremely comfortable, especially if you travel alot or will take photos out in the elements (i.e. hiking, etc.)Because they are worn on the back, backpack-style DSLR camera cases are not as easy to accessSlingshot style backpacks are a good alternative if you want the comfort of a backpack with the access of shoulder bag

Shoulder Bags:

Shoulder DSLR camera bags help you to quickly access your equipment; they are great for the urban photographerShoulder camera bags look the least like a camera bag and more like an accessoryShoulder bags are not the best choice for outdoor photography, or when you'll need to be moving around alot

Holster SLR Camera Bags:

Usually the smallest of the stylesMeant to hold your camera closely

Most SLR camera cases will do a reasonably good job or protecting your camera and its accessories, but it's important to choose what style best fits your lifestyle.

Remember This!

Remember to think about what else you might be carrying in your SLR camera case. Stylish camera bags are a necessity, but so is the space you need to carry some of your extras: wallet, cell phone...you get the idea.
