There are many features that separate a good digital SLR bag from a bad one. Generally, the most important aspects of a good digital SLR camera bag are providing the camera and gear with a sound protection, while providing the owner with the most convenient design.

What kind of bag will better protect your camera and accessories?

1. A bag with a thick padding. Thick padding on all sides of the bag is very important for protecting your equipment from any shocks and accidental falls.

2. A bag with secure handles and straps. The handle and the straps of the bag should be durable and secure. The strap of the bag should additionally not slip, in order for it to stay put, even if you are wearing a slippery rain coat.

3. A bag with a hard bottom. A SLR camera bag will experience one of the worst shocks, if it is accidentally dropped on the floor or ground. A bag with a hard bottom will provide your accessories with even better protection.

What kind of bag will provide you with the most comfort?

1. A bag with adjustable straps. Adjustable straps are a common feature of well-designed digital SLR camera bags. Not only people vary in height, but they also have preferences about the exact positioning of their bags. It is better to avoid buying a bag with a set length of straps.

2. Configurable internal compartments. Not all of the digital SLR camera bags provide you with the ability to arrange the inside (generally, the main compartment) the way you like it. However, configurable internal compartments are one of the most important features of a good SLR camera bag. Every photographer uses a different number of lenses, filter kits, and other accessories. Thus, most photographers prefer to be able to arrange the space of their bag to fit their needs.

3. A bag with plenty of room. It’s a common advice to buy a bag, which is somewhat larger than your current needs. Photographers often upgrade their cameras and accessories, but this should not make a photographer upgrade their digital SLR camera bags every time.

In order to provide your SLR camera with a good level of protection, opt for bags with a thick padding, secure handle and straps, and a hard bottom. In order to provide yourself with the most comfort while using your bag, opt for a bag with adjustable straps, configurable internal compartments, and plenty of room.
