Pelican would definitely be stout, but if you want a back pack check out the Kata bags. Very comfortable pack, even when fully loaded. I like the zip out 'drawer' on mine, because I can pull out the camera with out completely taking off the pack. The bottom compartment is adjustable, but could hold up to 4 lenses and a body depending on size. Very durable construction. I've had mine about a year and still looks like new (no frays/rips) and it goes everywhere with me. I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-me...e=UTF8&index=0 I carry: Camera - with one lens Extra lens Extra camera battery Extra CF card Netbook (in the top large pocket) Wireless mouse Tool case (in the laptop compartment) P & S camera with case, extra SD card, and extra battery small tripod (for the p & s) Monopod (for the dslr) Waterproof shell that comes with the pack USB cables Camera battery charger Camera manual Headlamp and flashlight Small notepad and pen Also fits my full size laptop, but I don't carry it anymore. |

ive got a tamrac adventure 7, i think. i carry my D60, 18-55 kit lens, 55-200 lens and a sigma 10-20mm lens, one of them always on the camera filters, SDHC cards, cables and cleaning shit. but its full right now, if i get a flash or another lens ill need a bigger bag. never seen those pelican bags, might have to look into them. waterproof is cool, means it'll keep dust out too which is a bigger problem for me. i too would NEVER trust my camera gear to a baggage handler, it stays on me no matter what.

I have a Kata DR-467 I can carry my Nikon D-90 with 4 lenses. It has a spot for my laptop as well. It also has a rain cover that heas worked very well. The padding in the compartments is absolutely awesome as well. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VW6KXS/...l_73wbeheowl_e Edit: After I posted this I saw that SVEN has the same thing..... Nevermind. |

I uses a Burton 28l bag..I have went thru a dozen bags before I found one I like..I prefer a backpack, it just suites me better.. anyways, this bag is awesome, tons of room, pretty discret (doesnt look like a camera bag)..I like how the opening is against your back, so it cant be opened when you are wearing it..here is a review that I found with some excellent pics.. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=600426 |

I have a smaller lowepro bag for short day trips and a larger mountain smith pack for when I need all the lenses the radio slaves and a couple flashes. both have rain flys. If you want a hard case Pelican is the way to go. If you have some money Lowepro has a great line of bags in everysize. |

The camera bag mentioned in this threads are good ones. You might want to look-up Artisan & Artist, favorite bag of Japanese Pros. I find their design quite functional yet stylish, waterproof, and durable. The bag offers adequate protect for my Leica M7, M8, and 3-4 Leica lenses. |

Hate to say this, but there is no one bag to suit your needs. I have ended up with 3 different bags. Depending on what I am doing is which one I will take with me. I have a Lowepro backup that fits everything, but with everything in there it weighs a fair amount. I have a toploader that I use for when I just want the camera and one lens. Take a look at Lowepro website they make a lot of bags for various purposes. http://www.lowepro.com/ |
