For dads birthday I want to get him a camera bag for his two DSLR cameras

one I think is Canon 50D and another Canon camera.

Could anyone suggest a camera bag too me that can fit those two cameras in aswell as his 3 zoom lenses caps and everything else he has?

I am looking on amazon..

but I wanted other peoples oppinions on the bags they have

there are loads on there for the 50D. i think a bag for two cameras + lenses (especially large zoom lenses) and stuff would be massive...

This.
I'd probably suggest two smaller ones.. But, that's just me. Depends if he'd be okay with a massive bag?

Lowepro are quite good make and have various sizes and types. They have a website but also know they're sold in curry's and pc world probably elsewhere too. Otherwise I can only say amazon aswell.

Does he often take the two out at the same time? Other wise, I would also be inclined to go for 2 smaller.

You could also take a look on a photography forum, as you might get better answers.

I'd say get two smaller aswell. A bag for both aswell as the lenses would be massive.

The lowepro vertex 200 aw would fit what you are looking for or the thinktank airport acceleration backpack holds more. below is a review of both, hope it helps.

The Vertex 200 backpack is rugged and well thought-out. It looks waterproof, although I wonder how the newfangled waterproof zippers will hold up over the years. I like the waistband and shoulder straps: the harness system offers good support for hiking with minimal equipment. It has good straps for attaching a bigger tripod too.
I normally use a Thinktank Airport Acceleration backpack, which, in addition to the equipment listed above, holds a 70-200mm lens, a 100 macro, and an infared remote receiver and trigger. The laptop slot is less padded than the Lowepro, and the harness system is not as good. I would take the Thinktank for transporting gear at airports, taxis and for moving fragile equipment around. The Lowepro would be better for backpacking and rougher assignments where I need fewer lenses.

hope you find one for him, is a great idea for a present :) x

Some people like shoulder bags, some people like backpacks. I'd say leave the selection of camera bag to the photographer.

Thanks Everyone I've finally found a shoulder bag that will fit everything my dad needs in it :)
