How you carry your camera?

I actually was talking about this one:Interesting! Do you mean this sling?I have the white Manfrotto Sling bag/backpack. It'll hold a 5DIV plus a lens (already attached if possible) and it has room to hold a bigger lens if a 70-200 is what you're using that day.Hi,
I'm just curious about the habits and experiences, when you carry a bigger camera (which not fit into pocket) on primarily NON-photography trips. Question is primarily targeted to period, when you expect some photo subjects, but don't have camera in the hand.
On our usual family trips I carry only one camera and lens. So far I switched from shoulder bag to belt bag, which I use over a year with relative comfort. But I would like to know your opinion on subject.
Please let it know in the poll and share some details and tips on best products from your perspective!
Thanks!

Can you describe what can be comfortably carried inside together with camera with attached lens? Is it possible to carry bottle in side pocket?

I see now that it is no longer available but the bag you linked seems like it would hold a camera with a lens attached (like a 35mm) and still have room for two spare lenses. In the last product image, they show the bag with a canteen bottle being held in the tripod slot so it looks like it would work for you if you aren't needing anything bigger than a one-camera setup.

> I often travel with the family and camera like you do: one body + lens. In that case, I have a holster-type bag the camera is transported in, and when I get to the destination, I take out the camera/lens.
If I'm bringing extra lenses, I carry a shoulder bag.
One day, I'm going to upgrade to a photographer's vest and engage Full Dork Mode. ;-)

For me it depends. I have 2 backpacks that I use so depending on what I'm going to be doing and what I'll be carrying, I'll swap my gear between them. If I'm wandering around not taking pictures, I'll usually carry my camera in my bag. If I'm wandering expecting to take pictures, I'll either sling the camera with a PD Sling or just carry it by the grip. Or both.
"when you expect some photo subjects,"
Not even as flashy as this ^ newer version ^ with the additional racing stripes
This is a Cdn$50 LowePro Adventura.
I pack low key even if I'm invited for the purpose of being an amateur/semi-pro picture taker guy. This size holds my bridge camera in half the width and with about 4" free space above it. On the left half I would put a small palmcorder (e.g. Vixia HF R50), maybe a speed light, often a Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H1 audio recorder, misc. batteries in the front pouch. No additional lenses in the case of a bridge camera.
I will carry that in my hand by the top grip most of the time in the car or indoors. The shoulder strap doesn't even get attached unless I plan to be walking distances outdoors.
This is the basic format of bags I have preferred for decades. This is actually the roomiest one I've ever had and I'm very pleased with it. Discrete, padded and textured, just enough room without having to stuff anything too hard, affordable.
*** Someone passed on to me that a brand name camera technician suggested resting the camera on its hinge end as that is one of the strongest sections of a camera.
i have two of these, and can fit my E-M10 II and three lenses plus a small flash. I use the second one for telescope eyepieces and other items.
I got this model because it opens toward your body instead of away from you
I don’t think these are going to last really long though.
