Still searching for the perfect camera bag? Of course you are. Now Photojojo has lent its hand to the insoluble problem, and the result – the SLR Sloop – actually looks pretty good.
There are a zillion good camera bags out there for photographers or amateurs actually going out on a photo-shoot. But for those of us who want to tote a camera along with our everyday cary-around junk, and to throw it all in the same bag, the options are more limited. And if you want a bag that doesn’t say “here’s my camera” then things get even worse.
The SLR Sloop addresses the last problem first, looking more like a bag for carrying diapers, or for lugging some cold beers to the beach. Open it up and you find a capacious cavern into which can be nestled cameras, lenses, a flash, along with keys, cash, cellphones and the other everyday essentials. Four zippered pockets, two in and two out, keep the sharp-edged stuff away from the delicate photo gear.
The padded insert, which comes with five dividers, is removable, so you really could load this up with beers. The water-resistant fabric is cut from the same stuff as a sailboat sail. The Sloop actually looks rather carry-able, if a little deep from front to back. The soft-sides, though, should mean that it shrinks to fit when not too full.
So the bag is, in most ways, a real departure from gadget-bag design. In fact, the only thing that the SLR sloop carries over from “real” camera bags is the price: At $150 each, only serious bag-nerds will be interested.
