Top 4 Camera Bag Cases for Travel

I'm a huge fan of Pacsafe bags. They're designed as defenses against the unpleasant possibilities of travel -- bag snatchers, slashers, and tamperers. While no camera bag is safe against a full-on attack, this one is your best bet for combatting petty criminals. It has a strong mesh slashguard on the shoulder strap and bottom, zippers that are tamperproof, and a built-in combination lock. There's also room for water bottles on the sides and other travel items inside.

If you travel with more than a digital camera — say, a D/SLR with an extra lens or two, you need a bigger camera bag. And this well-organized, lightweight 9.5" x 10.5" x 8.5" model can do the trick. It's got plenty of pockets and ample partitions that you can arrange to suit your needs. Plus, it looks great and is available in several colors of tough, weather resistant, yet ultra-lightweight nylon and neoprene.

This "hoodie-style" little protector in neoprene measures 5" x 4" x .75" like a glove. It has no strap but is small enough to fit into a pocket or purse.

This camera bag for serious amateurs is ideal for when you travel and need to reach for your camera, fast: The size zip enables quick access to your equipment. Measuring 9.75" x 7.5" x 5", this compact backpack is weather-resistant. Travel photographers who carry bigger cameras and more equipment are advised to trade up to other best-in-class Lowepro products.
