camera bag for Canon 80d

[shorty1]

If I have a Canon 80D with a 18-135mm  f/3.5-5.6 lens attached, should I get a Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50 AW II Camera Bag or the Lowepro Toploader Zoom 55 AW II bag? I have chatted with different people from two online vendors and I am getting different answers to this question. Thanks for any advice.

I just checked the EOS 80D with EF-S 18-135 IS STM lens will fit in the Canon Zoom Pack 1000.

Great bag if you just want to carry the camera with one lens, spare battery, a filter, and a spare memory card.

It is a holster style that fits over your shoulder, it also has a tucked away waist band if you need to hold it into your body for hiking or climbing. 

I really love that little bag and at $20 I've ended up owning several of them.

I checked with the 40D and EF-S 18-135 IS STM.

The 40D has very similar dimensions to the 80D. (146 x 108 x 74 mm vs 139.0 x 105.2 x 78.5mm)

The smallest one looks tiny. Are you just wanting a holster for just the one camera with the one lens?  You might want room for a Speedlite, another lens, etc.  

That is a shoulder bag right?  Have you considered a sling bag?  Easier to carry.

It can be carried over the across the body, or as a shoulder bag.  I use a "75", and love it.  It is very well padded.  I bought as a substitute for a neck strap.  It's also useful when I want to travel light.  It can fit both my 24-105 and 14mm at the same time.

If you can swing the cost, go for the "55" bag, the one that can handle a 70-200mm lens attached.  It is a bigger bag, but advantage of carrying larger lenses is worth it.  I use a the "75", which can handle a body with a battery grip, and a 70-200mm.

Thanks for your reply. I have a backpack style bag that I can use if I need to bring along my 100-300mm lens. Since I rarely use that lens, I am not planning on buying a bag that can accomodate two lenses. Right now I am just trying to buy a bag that will be long enough to only hold the Canon 80D camera with the 18-135mm lens and Canon lens hood attached.

Best Buy has these on sale a lot of the time.

Thanks a lot. I knew that Canon made hard cases, but I did not know that they made camera bags like this.

Checked where?  That bag is way too small to hold my T5 with a EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM attached.  BTW, forget about the hood being installed, too.  It's made for a T5 and the kit 18-55mm lens.

That bag is made for Rebel sized DSLRs, like a T5.  My 6D simply does not fit, not even with the "nifty fifty" mounted on it.
