Backpack recomendations?

[Canon_For_Life]

Hey there everybody, Im getting ready to sell my small backpack and step up to a bigger one. Since I got that bag I have upgraded from an XTi to a 40D and from a sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro to a 100-400 L, so im getting short on space :lol:.

I will be getting a grip for the 40D and a flash in the near future. So, here is my question:

What backpack would be best for fitting a 40D gripped, a 100-400 a flash, and a tamron 28-75 2.8 (as well as some other smaller accesories and possible another lens or two)?

I have looked at this canon bag, a friend of mine says it fits the 100-400, but im not 100% sure, i'll be checking one out tomarrow. Here is the bag im talking about: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/248295-REG/Canon_6229A003_Deluxe_Backpack_200_EG.html


This is the bag I have now: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/321696-REG/Tamrac_537104_5371_Travel_Pack_71.html

I have been looking on B&H and have seen many good ones, but im not sure which will be best, so im coming to the experts! :)

No real budget, preferably under $80 USD though.

Any help or suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Mike

Would you happen to have a link for those? I havnt heard of that company before.

the 200eg will fit your gear just fine. its what i currently have and i love it. the dakine sequence bag is nice, but its a bit bulky. i used to have one but i sold it.

I have the Canon 200EG as well, the 100-400 will fit just fine with room for a flash and everything. You should have some room left over for another lens or two.

Cheaper on Amazon:

Dakine Mission Photo

Both, I think are on sale on ebags.

Also check out the Burton Zoom backpacks.

I like these because they dont really look like camera packs at all. Dakine and Burton are well known snowboard/ski/skate companies.

Thank you very much for those links, i'll check out the burton zoom backpacks also, but I really like both of those Dakine bags, very nice! :)

I have a Lowepro Flipside 400, but that might be too big for your needs. They do have the Flipside 300, which is in your price range, as well as the Flipside 200.

Also, Lowepro has announced a pretty cool backpack that may or may not work for you...the Primus line i believe its called
