Let's face it Canon shooters.  It's a jungle out there.  Canon makes dozens of camera bags. The total number of camera bag makers is really big and the number of models and bag types is staggering.

You have; shoulder bags, backpacks, sling bags, torso packs, harnesses, holsters, waist packs, pouches, and hard cases.  And I am sure I missed a few types too.

Let's Keep It Simple

How about we keep this camera bag buying advice simple?  Let's forget about the Canon brand for a second. Don't worry about who makes your potential camera bag.

Let's look at the camera bags that so many other people are buying, and then, narrow that down to only the ones that get a large majority of positive reviews.

How did I come up with the results of the search for 3 better alternatives to getting a Canon bag are below?


The Method I used to Find the Better Alternatives

Most Reviews + Highest Ratings = Best Choice

Getting the right bag for your situation is arguably a subjective decision, but I wanted to make this as objective as possible. 

  1. I went to the number one on-line retailer with the most consumer-based reviews
  2. I picked the top selling bags (most reviews) with the highest ratings

That's all.  It did take a lot of different searches, but I kept it simple. Theoretically, you get the best camera bags, at a popular price, purchased by the most happy buyers.


3 Better Alternatives to Camera Bags From Canon

Case Logic and Amazonbasics were the clear winners as the companies that sell the most popular alternatives to Canon camera bags.  Here are the top three bags:


1. Case Logic DCB Compact

This is a small bag, appropriate for a compact Canon camera or small camcorder and a few small accessories.  I included it as one of the three better alternatives because it had the most reviews of all camera bags and 86% of all reviewers gave this bag a 4 or 5-star rating.

This is clearly the best small bag alternative to a Canon camera case.

As a side note, the two Canon bags shown below happen to be the two most popular bags from Canon. Interesting that one is the backpack style and one is the shoulder style.  Both are very reasonably priced.
