Best New Travel Case

Think Tank Photo Airport Advantage XT Rolling Camera Case

The Airport Advantage XT Rolling Camera Case allows you to carry two gripped DSLR camera bodies and several lenses inside as well as a 10-inch tablet and up to a 17-inch laptop in the front pocket.

Best New Camera Bag

Tenba DNA Series Messenger Bag

The Tenba DNA series of messenger-style camera bags is available in a variety of sizes from 8 to 15 inches in width.  But each provides you with an unobtrusive, low-profile look that doesn’t give away the fact that you might be carrying around expensive gear. But these bags also come loaded with features, including Tenba’s signature Whisper Hook closure, for virtually silent opening, Fidlock magnetic clips to further secure the front flap, a quick-access-top zipper that allows you to swap out cameras and lenses on the go, and a body-armor base panel underneath.
