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.
