How do you carry around your camera?

I have a Kelly Moore bag that’s been discontinued now. It’s big enough for two lenses and all the extras. But it’s way too heavy to carry around sight seeing. For that, I use a BlackRapid strap for women. I wear it crossbody. It helps distribute the weight and it takes seconds to position the camera. It works well for sporting events and sightseeing, but you do need to be conscious of not knocking the camera into anything. I wouldn’t use it without a filter over the lens.

I have a beast of a DSLR and I carry it in a holster-style case that I've had for years. I can get the camera and my wallet and phone in it. I have a hand strap for it because I don't like long ones. If I'm carrying my camera, I don't bring a purse. Too much to manage.

My actual camera bag is a Lowepro slingshot 200 crossbody. I can get a couple of lenses and a flash in it. It has a pocket at the top for accessories and one in the front where I carry what I would keep in my purse. I can bring it around to the front if I'm in a crowd so I don't get pickpocketed. I have a Kelly Moore bag but it's vinyl and looks ratty. I also don't like the front flap.

I just carry it out of the bag. There's not enough time to pull it out of a bag, take off the lens cap, adjust settings for the situation, and then snap to capture whatever. I did recently receive a bag that was suggested by Skellinton to carry my camera when I'm at Disney simply because some of the rides call for it to be put away. I totally carried it on Splash Mountain and snapped photos before shoving it under my shirt for the drop. I am lucky that DH enjoys carrying a backpack, so if there was something else to carry with us, he would have it. I travel light though, so my dSLR is on my shoulder and my lens cap is in my left pocket while my phone is in my right. I can pull out either to snap/record and get back to whatever. I even did this when the kids were babies and had to juggle carrying them, too.

If we're at the beach, I will put my camera in a dry bag while I'm in the ocean.

Oh and my purse is always big enough to fit a camera and/or book, so I'm lucky I don't have to make that adjustment, too.

I just wear the camera around my neck - I do have a padded camera strap cover I made. Usually I keep a standard (short) lens on the camera and someone else in our group (usually DH or DD22) has a long lens on theirs so we're not switching out lens. DH carries a camera bag and if we have a backpack, he's the one carrying that as well. At most I might be carrying my handbag but often just the camera

This. It was too much bother for me to even drag around my smallish point and shoot camera and have one more thing hanging from my neck. The easier thing to do was to upgrade my phone to one that has a good camera for most shots. For years I contemplated getting a nice DSLR but I quickly realized it was something that I wouldn’t ever actually pull out and use in most situations.

I have several larger bags that carry all of the bells and whistles. My favorite is the smallest bag I could find that fit just the essentials. It fits in my backpack that I take on the plane as carryon.

I have a Lowepro messenger style camera bag. I throw my wallet in one of the co.parments. it's easy to swing around and carry in the front if I need to.

I will have my camera around my neck and hold it in my left hand so it does aboune around. Or if I'm walking I will loop the neck strap over my shoulder.

I have a very small Tamrac camera bag that I bought years ago that holds my Nikon 3300 body with the 18-200mm lens attached. It won't hold another lens though. I like it because it's waterproof. Up until now that's what I usually carry, along with a travel purse, or I just carry that. 

I'm planning to buy an additional wide angle lens for my next trip so I'll need a new, slightly larger camera bag. I keep my camera bags as small as I can get them and just take along my days essentials (only what I absolutely need) in the camera bag, or in my pockets. If I have to I'll take along my travel purse. The reason for carrying my camera bag is because I want a waterproof and secure place for my camera in case it starts raining. 

Camera straps-I've tried a ton of them and haven't liked anything I've tried. I hate shoulder straps and I've tried lots of the newer styles of straps too. On my last big international trip my shoulder strap actually broke but luckily it happened when I had my camera on the hotel bed and I was fiddling with it. That happened while I was still in Poland and I had two weeks of travel to go in Germany. I ended up just holding my camera in my right hand by the grip that's embedded in my camera body. That experience made me realize how natural my camera feels just resting in my hand-like it belongs there. I had no problem at all sightseeing and then taking photos when I wanted with my camera in my hand. It made me realize that the camera strap for me was a wrist strap. 

I'll need to shop for one before my next trip. I did order one, but it was too wide and wieldy for my small hands. I swear I have the hands of a child. They must make camera gear intended for big men.
