The Bagsmart Canvas Camera Case is a deceivingly beautiful bag capable of doing some of the tasks I ask of everyday life. But here's the kicker: it's insanely affordable. These days, I honestly only want to carry around smaller rangefinder-style cameras.
I had known that the Hawkesmill Monmouth was coming a while before its announcement, and in fact, I suggested to the company and a number of others that what the industry needs is a camera bag that can be a messenger and a backpack.
As I've become slightly older (at 30) and more conscious of my personal health, I've also mostly moved away from messenger bags. They're not so great for your back, though some of them encourage you to take less gear.
