    I am looking for cargo pants that will carry a mid size camera (below) but not look like cargo pants. Any suggestions or feedback on feasibility are appreciated.

    Need to carry:
    Sony NEX 3N camera with the 16-50mm pancake lens
    Dimensions:
    110mm x 62mm x 65mm (385 grams)
    4.3″ x 2.4″ x 2.6″ (14 ounces)

    What I want:
    Substitute for (tidy) jeans
    Suitable for family gathering, mid-range restaurant, or casual office
    Doesn’t need to be dress slacks, but should work with a polo or blazer
    A theft-deterent “valuables” pocket a plus

    What I don’t want:
    Look like cargo pants
    Look tactical
    A jacket (this is for when it’s too hot)
    A vest (will stand out too much)

    Options I considered:
    5.11 Covert Cargo: These seem the best bet. Look like slacks but with large hidden side pockets.

    Dockers Comfort Cargo: Pocket is inside leg so not hidden, but subtle. Not sure if pocket is big enough.

    Columbia ROC: Not sure the side leg pocket is big enough.

    Vertx Original: Everyone says the pockets are subtle, but they look the most pronounced of any of these.

    Questions:
    Will these hold a camera this large, or am I overly optimistic?
    What would you recommend?

    Thanks for any suggestions!
