Photography FAQ: Which camera bag should i buy first?

I have to say the camera bag selection is almost as important as the camera selection. I know you must think I am going crazy. Well, hear me out.

Ok let’s set the frame work. Let’s say you are an on location commercial/fashion photographer and require different lenses and miscellaneous accessories for each shoot. Well based on need, the location commercial photographer needs a camera bag with ample space to fit the most used lenses, compact flash cards, light meter and maybe a laptop compartment to carry a computer for tethered shooting. How about if you are a travel photographer? You need a light camera bag to carry the bare necessities right? You get the picture. I have two camera bags and possibly need more depending on the purpose. You can never only have one camera bag. So let the first camera bag you purchase be the camera bag used for your primary type of photography. If you are like me go with the Lowepro AW computrekker.
