Samsonite backpack
One of the best things about this camera bag is that it does not look like a camera bag. Its sleek black form does little to flaunt the expensive equipment contained within. There's room inside for all manner of bodies and lenses, with a large space that can be adjusted and divided in different ways. The bag is well padded and has a special lining designed not to scratch LCD screens and lenses. Available from Samsonite classic stores, Grand Stores and Debenhams from US$163 (Dh599).
