Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
B&H has the Kata Lite-441 DL camera bag for $18.99 (orig. $54.99) as today’s Deal Zone deal. I suspect this is a clearance item of the remaining stock and that these bags will sell out before the day is over.
Manfrotto recently absorbed the Kata brand in favor of making Manfrotto-branded bags while using prior Kata designs. There are likely few of these remaining (and Kata made great bags, which is why Manfrotto uses those designs now). Check out this deal while it lasts here at B&H Photo.
B&H hast the Kata LighTri-310 and LighTri-312 DL Torso-Packs for $19.95 and $29.95, respectively, through November 26. Check them out while they last here at B&H Photo.

I took a look at Manfrotto’s new camera bags at NAB 2014. The lines are definitely pro caliber with a lot of solid features that pro users will appreciate. Upon closer inspection though, it’s clear that the designs aren’t actually new but take a page from a previous pro-bag designer within the Vitec Group brand that serves as an umbrella for Manfrotto and other camera equipment brands.

Not long ago, laptops to accommodate to your different photographic needs was blogged about. This time, we’re talking about camera bags. In reality, there is no need for a large backpack if you’ve got only one camera body and only a couple of lenses. Something more along the lines of a messenger bag can suffice. Depending on your daily shooting styles/methods, your bag should be able to provide you with the essential package to do your job. Here are some great bags to look into:
If you’ve got a DSLR with one lens and a couple of other accessories then his shoulder bag will suffice for you perfectly. Made out of padded cotton hemp, it is tough enough for most traveling needs of a photojournalist using only one body without a flash and that can head back to the office to edit shots.
Because of the small size, you cannot shove a laptop in here. However, it can suffice perfectly if you’ve got a Micro 4/3rds camera with a lens in which case you might be able to shove a Sony VAIO P into the bag somehow or another if you pack correctly. A setup like that will allow you to do your work from anywhere. Available for $60.00. [Read more…]
