Bag recommendations

[mvs]

Whta's a good, small shoulder/sling bag that gives easy access and is fairly comfortable to carry aound for long periods of time?

I'd be carrying a DRebel with kit lens attached and a 300mm Sigma plus my Sony P&S (about the size of a short zoom lens), then the normal accessories.

I have a Mini Trekker to carry all my gear in, but it's just too big to carry when I'm out walking, or in and out of shops on vacations etc. Plus I want something that I can get into without taking off.

Want to stay below $50.

I have the Crumpler Budgie Smuggler. However it is ~65USD. It is great I have used it on all of my travels this summer and it held a Canon G2, 420EX, Kenko KNT-20, Canon WC-DC58 and other associated stuff.

You know, I have a big photo backpack, a medium shoulder bag, and then some smaller stuff.

What I find most convenient is a large canvas shopping bag with a zipper top. It is bigger than my shoulder bag and it has no complications at all.

I have a Lowepro Nova 3 AW shoulder bag. It fits my drebel, 18-55, 28-135, lense hood, my filters, and my misc supplies. Not sure how big your 300mm lense is, the bag should be able to fit a lens that is about 7" long. As for carrying comfort, I took it with my on about a 5 mile hike with about 750 feet of elevation change. It even has a rain fly which keeps the bag dry (I discovered that hidden treasure just before my 5 mile hike... of which the first 2.5 miles was raining). Bag costs around $50-60

I was looking at the Nova AW's and the Adorama Slinger. I would like something that can be worn almost like a backpack (strap across chest and bag around in back) but can be pulled around to the front and opened quickly.
