Three new camera bags from Artisan & Artist have been awarded the prestigious Gold Prize at the 2016 Digital Camera Grand-Prix, a measure of the best quality gear chosen by experienced photographers and journalists. The award-winning A&A bags are the ICAM-3500N, ICAM -6000N and the innovative RR4-06C.

A durable and lightweight bag with an Easy Slider System for a shoulder strap, the ICAM-3500N features a minimalistic and unique design with a diagonal opening. Made with a special Cordura® material for long-lasting performance and water resistance, combined with fine leather, the black bag weighs just 24.3 oz. and is 12-3/8"x9"x5-1/8". Two soft but tough protective red inside pockets are designed to hold one body and two lenses. $359.

Made with all of the same high-quality materials and the same features, the ICAM-6000N bag is larger and designed to carry one body and three lenses. It is 14-1/2"x11"x6" and weighs 31 oz. $439.

Designed to meet the needs of those who prefer hands-free carrying solutions, the innovative A&A RR4-06C backpack is comfortable even for a long period of time, thanks to padded shoulder straps. Made of nylon and high-quality custom-processed leather, this camera backpack is also good for everyday use. The top part of the backpack is for personal items, as well as the zippered front pocket. Camera equipment inside is securely protected by a cushioned and adjustable inner case.

It is 10-3/8"x15-1/4"x5-1/4" and, despite its size and accommodations, weighs only 32.8 oz. Available in black or navy. $449.
