Ok...well my equipment has finally outgrown my bag that I am currently using.:confused3 I have been looking at the different bags, and cases and such and was wondering, what is your favorite camera bag ? I have the a D80, an external flash, three lenses, including one telephoto lens, multiple filters, couldn't tell you how many card wallets, and also spare battery and battery charger.Also it would be nice if I could find one that i could strap my tripod to. I am one that likes to bring everything, not just to disney, but all photography outings. You never know when your gonna need something and not have it. So what would you recommend ? Thanks for your help !!

If you want to carry all your STUFF the I suggest a Guragear (http://blog.guragear.com/)bag. Mark put me onto it about 2 years ago and it will hold the kitchen sink. The only drawback is it will not carry a laptop, but it holds so much stuff it is scary!

I normally travel with a Think Tank Urban design 60 bag. Mine is version 1. It holds all my shoulder wants to carry and an laptop. It went with me on a 9 day trip to China.

My observation about bags is like many other things. You get what you pay for. Neither of these bags are cheap but they do the job they were designed for very well!

I use the Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW. There is plenty of room in there. I also use the Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50 AW for when I'm just bringing the body and one lens attached.

My Kata DR467 carries all my gear plus a laptop if you need it to. I have used the outside mesh bottle holder to carry my small travel tripod in WDW. What I like most about the bag is even when fully loaded it distributes the weight really well and is comfortable to wear for an extended period if you have to. Being on the small side at 5'3" I needed something I could handle all my gear myself without breaking my back. I mostly travel solo and even with extras loaded in it as a carry on bag for flights its been a great bag for me. For under $100 (for the DR467 some other models are more) you might want to check out what Kata has to offer. I got mine from Amazon.

My main bag is a tarmac adventure 7. I use the laptop space to carry my rain gear and the top provides enough space for other stuff. Injustice recently realized i can store my benro travel angel inside!

If I'm going to carry a bag I like the Crumpler million dollar homes (I swipe my daughter's 3 to carry lenses in), and the Tamrac Adventure messenger series. I have the Adventure Messenger 4. I also use a simple waist pack sometimes, though I've been known to not carry a bag at all, instead putting my extra gear in the pockets of my cargo pants.

A lot depends on where I'm going to be at though.

When I have to carry EVERYTHING. And I mean everything; tripod, laptop, 70-200, 150-500, a few more lenses, a couple of speedlites, video camera, etc. I like my Lowepro Pro Trekker 400 AW (http://products.lowepro.com/product/Pro-Trekker%20400%20AW,2166.htm). I've never taken it to a Disney park, it might be kind of big for that, but for everything else where your purpose is photography and you want to be prepared for anything, it totally rocks.
