Camera Backpack

[photo2k]

Hello,
The Lowepro backpack price is quite steep. Anybody know where I can get cheaper camera backpack from other brand.
Thanks

Actually Lowepro's prices are among the most reasonable. They're not steep, considering the quality you're getting. Most average at around $120 brand new. 2nd hand they go for under $100. If you want something that can hold a laptop, prices are closer to $200 brand new. Which is still reasonable.

U can shop ard... nobody talks about the cheapo brands much because they're not that much cheaper, but quality-wise they're still far off.

I suspect you might not be looking in the right places..... some shops like to *chop* you if they can.....

I bought mine from Aik Seng at Luck Plaza.

Lowepro's list prices appear high but you should be able to get quite a bit off the list price - about 40% I think.

There's a shop at the basement of Sim Lim Sq IIRC.

I just get mine from Cathay. They probably aren't the cheapest, but I don't feel like walking ard and dealing with idiots shops who think I have no idea how much stuff costs, and try to quote ridiculous prices.

At least Cathay doesn't try these kinda stuff... everytime I go they quote me the ACTUAL price of items and they have a pretty decent selection.

well, CP is the local distributor of Lowepro bags...

most bags are under the $180 mark, unless you're getting real big ones...

Can try at TK.

You get to choose between Lowepro's and Crumpler's.

For Lowepro, may refer to the pricelist contributed by fellow Cser.

The CompuDayPack look quite resonable priced.
