I'm sure by now most everyone knows that there are stylish alternatives to those boring black camera bags. But thorough reviews are few and far between. So I'd like to show you a little bit more about Jo Tote's newest camera bag, Betsy and tell you why I love it so much!
First, lets have a little over view with the help from the bag's description. Betsy is made from top quality faux leather, comes with three adjustable interior pads, two straps (cross body and shoulder) and a removable shoulder pad. Betsy comes in three colors - black, chocolate and mustard.
The bag closes with a zipper and flap. I normally don't zip it so I can easily and quickly access my camera. The flap doesn't have any time of closure but doesn't have any problems staying shut either.
The Betsy has quite a few pockets, which might be one of my favorite features (I love pockets!)There are two pockets on the front of the bag. They have hidden magnetic closures and are very secure. In the left one I've been keeping my macro filters, and in the right one my iphone and camera remote.
The flap has a pocket as well. At first I was a little baffled as to what I might keep in it but I've come to find it's perfect to keep my instax photos in while I'm out and about.
I also own the Millie (which you can see me wearing here) and since getting them I haven't used my purse once while going out - I'm always carrying one of my Jo Totes camera bags. It's perfect because as I'm sure I've mentioned before I pretty shy about taking photos in public and now that I always have my camera with me it's getting easier for me to snap photos in public. It's also really nice to be wearing a camera bag that doesn't scream "look at me, I'm holding thousands of dollars worth of equipment!" like I feel like a black one sporting the word "canon" does.
If anyone else has any other questions just let me know!
xoxo!
ps. for a better idea of the size of the bag you can see me wearing it in this post.
------------------
This bag is the perfect size! It easily holds my Instax Mini 7s, an extra package of film, a 18-50mm lens, and my Canon 60D with my go-to lens, the 50mm 1.4, attached. These are the few things that are ALWAYS in a camera bag, no matter what. I'm sure I could fit more if I rearranged but this is all I really need to carry. (I'm trying to quit carrying more than I need, sore backs are no fun!) Even with all these things that bag is still pretty light, and doesn't hurt my shoulder.
The Betsy has quite a few pockets, which might be one of my favorite features (I love pockets!)There are two pockets on the front of the bag. They have hidden magnetic closures and are very secure. In the left one I've been keeping my macro filters, and in the right one my iphone and camera remote.
Finally, the back has a big pocket which is the perfect size for an iPad (both the newer and older version) but since my iPad rarely leaves my desk (I mainly use it to watch movies on) I use this pocket for chapstick, money, my mushroom hunting permit and other random things that normally float around in a purse.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this bag and Jo Totes. It's absolutely perfect - stylish, comfortable, and best of all it keeps my camera safe and sound, which is the utmost important thing when choosing a camera bag.
