Camera Bag
Finally, an actual picture!
I love my Tamrac Velocity 7x 5767 sling pack, but it's a little too big to bring with me everywhere, and I can't very well carry my camera in the open where it will be exposed to rain and shock (being dropped). And, for some reason, I can't quite convince myself that I should spend $200 on a pocket camera (donations, anybody? Heh...) but I've been thinking about it for a few days.
The solution I came up with is simply to make my uber-cam more portable, so I picked up the Lowepro... "Topload Zoom Mini Camera Bag".
I forgot to include something for scale, but it's basically a foam case for my camera. I'm not sure it's even big enough to keep my telephoto lens attached. It's that small.
But!
But, it has a belt loop, which means one less thing I'm strapping onto my shoulders. In the summer heat and humidity, you really start to notice that kind of stuff, and between my camera bag and three or four other things I might have over my shoulders, it starts to really suck.
No, not in a good way.

I like its greenness and its belt loop of much convenience.
Unfortunately, the belt loop doesn't work so well. If you had web gear or something that could fill the belt better, it might, but my normal 1" belt isn't enough. Between the size mismatch and the fact that it's against foam (which obviously has give) it doesn't hold the camera against you, leading to a decent amount of bob.
I think I understand what you mean. Can you make a stitch line across part of the belt loop to reduce its loop size a bit?
Not really. Even if I did, it wouldn't help. The bag is still *squishy*, and doesn't have a large contact area against my body, so there's very little to be done about it. It's fine if I need to carry it like that, but it's not something I'll just be doing casually.
