The little camera bag that I have is getting crowded with the 2 bodies and 4 lenses. Once I add the flash it'll be even more packed. So I'd like a backpack
Here's the ideal setup for it to carry -
1-2 bodies
at least 4 lenses
flash
pockets for filters and film
If it could hold a laptop as well that would be a hands down winner but not 100% necessary if it's got everything else. Any ideas?
Here are 2 that look decent off the bat -
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ck_200_EG.html - I know it's cheap as far as bags go so I'm not sure about it but it meets the requirements (w/o laptop)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Backpack.html - specifies it holds a laptop (mine is 15.4" widescreen) but doesn't speak of how much it holds as far as lenses/accessories.
Either way, they're a good start I think. Anyone have others to look at?

I'd also consider the Crumpler Brazillian Dollar Home--It'll hold all that, and a bag of donuts. You can wear it messenger style, or back-packishly. Crumpler also makes custom-to-order bags in NYC.....but bring your checkbook.
It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly succeed when the informed and the experienced fail.

Check me out at http://davecraig.smugmug.com . And buy something, dammit......the kids (new lens) need (new lens) shoes (new lens).
Yeah I know crumpler is expensive and I missed the beer for bags trade last month - i got all the stickers and stuff from them about it. I'm not sure if I could give up beer for a bag though. tough call.
EDIT: I do really like the Brazilian Dollar Home bag. I like the way it's set up and that it holds the tripod folded at hte bottom like that. Not sure if I wanna stick with the backpack though. Either way, thanks for reminding me about crumpler. I think between that and the LowePro, I'll find one that I'll be 100% happy with.

Mainly you see a lot of bags for sale on Fredmiranda.com ... or photography-on-the.net

If they have good deals I should check it out. I was avoiding both of those places on principle after the horror stories I heard from all of you here.
