I need a purse that will safely/easily hold my $$$$ camera and maybe 1 extra lens. I'm not nuts about the Kelly Moore type (bright colors, faux leather). What else is out there?
I looked around and couldn't find anything I really loved and really didn't love the prices. Then I realized I have a ton of big bags that I do love and bought this instead. It works perfectly to hold the camera with a lens on it plus an extra lens.

Is the bottom of this nicely padded? I see a lot of inserts with thick partitions/walls but not so much the bottom.
You say "purse". What function are you looking for, exactly? To be able to carry it any time and still be able to carry a nice looking purse, or do you want something functional to be used when you know you're going to want to be able to easily get your camera?
The reason I ask - it's not sexy or stylish, but I bought the bag below for our trip to Disney. It was PERFECT. Not too big, easy to swing around and get the camera out, but I could otherwise be hands free, and the extra pocket was plenty of room for me to carry a few things that I needed - phone, glasses, wallet.

I have camera bags. A Lowepro, a crumpler, and a sling pack. I want something that will act as a purse and also hold my camera + Battery + lens with actual protection, vs. just sticking it wrapped in a scarf into my purse (what I do now).
I've been looking into just inserts but I haven't found one that looks good to me, but some in this thread might work. I have a lot of big purses that I could use for this if I can get the organization right.

I ordered a bag from Capturing Couture. It was nice but smaller than I wanted. It's purse size so may work for you.
I have the Jo Totes Missy bag in mint. Not what you're looking for but I adore it. I get compliments on it all the time, and people are surprised to learn it is a camera bag. It comes in black and brown as well.
