BUYING GUIDE

In the end, I must say that you’ve to reinvest for sure if you can’t make the right choices at the first attempt. On the other hand, you won’t be able to try the backpacks before purchase during online shopping. I consider the following criteria before adding any item to my cart -

  • design & looks:

A camera backpack with a camera insert is good for those; who don’t always need to carry their camera with them.

But some dedicated camera backpacks are out there in the market; those come with integrated padded dividers. These special lining and adjustable compartments help you organize associated camera accessories.

If you’re a regular shooter or professional photographer; often go out with your camera; then, I suggest choosing such camera backpacks with an organizer compartment. Choosing the external aesthetic is up to you.

  • Shape & size:

You’ll get a huge clue regarding how the backpack will fit you from the backpack’s dimensions. That’s why I mentioned the dimensions of each backpack.

If you have a relatively shorter height, slimmer shoulders, and figure, specifically pay attention to the backpack height and shoulder strap width.

However, I have a tip for you, with which you could figure out whether the backpack will suit you or not. Firstly, measure the length from the end of your neck to the top of the hip bone. Then, keep in mind that the height of your chosen backpack shouldn’t exceed this measurement.

  • strap width:

You can see the shoulder straps of some unisex models are meant for the wide shoulder. It could be problematic for slim women. The women’s fit backpacks would be a good choice for them.

Likewise, if you are a woman with a wide shoulder and large frame, going with the unisex fit backpack will be a better choice for you.

Moreover, if the shoulder straps of your chosen backpack are placed relatively closer together, it will make you more comfortable than others.

  • value for money

Cost is the obvious deciding factor for us. You could go for a cheap price, but make sure that the bags are not cheaply-built before purchasing.

The leather bags have different pride, not only for their elegant look; they have exceptionally good construction to last your lifetime; that the professionals want.

However, you’ll get several women’s fit fashionable camera backpacks with all functional and safety features within $100.

  • security & protection

Camera bags are designed to contain and carry lots of heavy and expensive equipment. So, try to prefer those backpacks that have anti-theft lockable zippers, high-quality hook, water-proof and rugged construction.

CONCLUSION

After going through the entire article, you may conclude that I’ve put more emphasis on the looks or cuteness of the backpacks than on functionality. But that’s not true!


As a woman, generally, I avoid using bulky backpacks that's why my suggestion list is not an exception. I adore cute-looking backpacks, but you can see the listed backpacks are not the poorly designed cute camera bag.


Here, I’ve suggested only those camera backpacks, which hit all the right marks. The cameras look genuinely good, designed, and constructed well; most importantly, they have just the proper size; that comfortably fits most women.
