So I have decided I am going to take my dlsr everywhere with me now but I dont want to carry a separate camera bag or spend a lot on money on a bag. I would only really need to take the camera body and lens.
What do you suggest I get or do?
I got a free Nikon CF-EU05 with my old nikon d80, it has a bright yellow
It fits my 600d with grip and 50mm 1.8 (which is always attached)
my 18 to 55 kit lens, some accessories and guff. It's got a couple of pockets but is very good. if you live in the uk and near a LCE you can pick one up for £15.
"it has a bright yellow" ignore that...
i like the amazon brand one they sell on amazon.com
I have the Lowerpro Fastpack 250 now and its probably the best bag I have ever used... It has a spot for a full size DSLR equipped with a long-ish lens, a battery grip, and even a lens hood (depending on the lens). It has multiple pockets for other lenses, chargers, SD cards, flashes, and other gear. It even has a padded laptop pocket and a zip-top area on top thats really convenient for a sandwich or other munchies. There is a couple straps on the back that I use to carry a small tripod. The shoulder straps are well padded and very comfortable for long treks with heavy gear (its all down to what you want to carry) its a great bag and if you hunt you can find deals on it on Amazon, eBay, and B&H. Its one of those bags that what you can carry all comes down to how creative you can be with the space you're given... and you're given A LOT of space
Think Tank
I use a Think Tank Retrospective 30 really nice bag.

I do like this one.
Thanks for your help I have now narrowed it down to these bags. http://www.amazon.com/Koolertron-shoulder-External-26x22x12-18-5x10x21cm/dp/B006R239IA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1394615583&sr=8-6&keywords=camera+bag

Go for the Lowepro I had one many years ago and loved it.
I'm getting the Lowepro Photo Sport Pro 30L AW as a hiking bag.
Think Tank and Lowepro great bags.
Just don't get a cheap bag as it will not last or protect your gear. :-)
I need one too...the camera bag that is bundled with canon dslr is not that convenient and it's basically saying look,I have a camera in my bag,come and rob me.
Look at Lowepro/Think Tank/Crumpler. They got some kewl backpacks/shoulder bags.
This is the one I picked up a couple weeks ago, not overly big or expensive and has lots of room.

This is going to sound really weird but another thing that you can think about that I have done before when I have had NO budget is just picking up a "toiletries" bag... They have padded sectioned off interiors with a few waterproof pouches that I have used for batteries and SD cards. You can find one at most big box stores near the health and beauty section. Theres the added bonus that NO ONE will ever want to steal your "toiletries". I have taken them on road trips and beat them into the ground and they have kept may camera and kit safe. So if you can ignore what it actually is its a good option for the po' boys out there...
Ha im the same mine says "CANON" right on it.
Thats actually pretty smart. Im prob gonna do this at some point.
I love seeing shit in dollars. I go onto the site and im like fuck $40 then I convert it and laugh. Makes me feel like getting it for a profit.
