If you’re a photographer you’ll no doubt know how exasperating it is to line up that one in a million shot only to find your camera’s batteries suddenly expire, resulting in a lost opportunity and the greatest shot that never was. Thanks to this Ion Solar Camera Bag, however, you need never miss a shot again as, in coming complete with an integral, flexible solar panel, this camera bag can be relied upon for a free source of power to keep those batteries topped up whilst you are on location.
The Ion Solar Camera Bag is made from hard wearing, 1680 denier nylon and comes with all the necessary internal pockets and side pouches you’d expect from a camera bag but what makes this bag different is the inclusion of a flexible solar panel mounted on the top which comes with a 12v charging outlet and is capable of delivering up to 1.2 watts of battery replenishing power regardless of where you are.
According to the product site, the Ion Solar Camera Bag is large enough to hold a DSLR with accessories, organised via of a series of adjustable internal dividers, whilst also having enough room to spare to accommodate a camcorder and retails for around $140.
Stylish whilst providing an eco friendly source of power, the Ion Solar Camera Bag will ensure that lost photographic opportunities due to drained batteries is a thing of the past, and its also nice to know that it can also be used to charge a wide assortment of gadgets such as cell phone and iMP3 players.

I’d be surprised if this really produces enough power to make it worth-while. Backpack solar panels barely produce anything as it is, and the way a person carries a camera bag would result in even less sun hitting the panels.
Nice idea, but for $140 you can buy a cheaper solar panel to attach to your south-facing window and an extra battery or two to put in your $20 camera bag.
