What backpack for 20D + lense(s) + acccesories?

[EricKonieczny]

I need a bag, prefer a backpack for all this, plus some room for growth, but do not need room for large lenses since I am breaking the bank on all this.

Thanks for suggestions.


That will fit as a carry on for airplanes


I am getting the 20D package with the 2 GB card

EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II

EW-63 II Lens Hood for 28-105

Canon Fisheye EF 15mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens

580EX Speedlite TTL Shoe Mount Flash

BG-E2 Vertical Grip/Battery Holder

I also have and want to carry

ARCHOS Gmini 400 + batteries

I would also like to carry my old Sony 717 + flash if possible


along with all other accesories like CF cards, extra batteries, & power adapters


I am ordering the camera package through B&H , so if possible, would like to just add this to my cart and ship it all at once.


Thanks for you help.

If you are looking for a small backpack, check out the LowePro MicroTrekker 100 and 200. They are about as small as they come with reasonable room, even smaller than the Mini Trekker, and both are around $50-60.

I use both. When I want to bring everything, I use the Micro Trekker 200, which fits the 20D+grip with the 300 f/4L attached plus 6 other lenses (16/2.8, 17/3.5, 50/1.8, 85/1.8, 18-55 EF-S, 28-75 Tamron), and in the front pocket I keep the 580EX flash, Canon S300 Digital Elph, and some other small stuff.

When I want to travel lighter, I use the Micro Trekker 100. It doesn't fit the 300mm, but I can easily bring 3-4 lens plus the flash.

I dont have one but those new Tamrac backpacks look way sick!

I use a LowePro Orion Trekker (http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Backpacks/classic/Orion_Trekker.aspx), which is good for what I need. The bottom of the bag kinda folds open, which is a little slow, but not too bad. It fits all the gear listed in my sig fine, but when I get another lens i'll probably have to either leave one piece at home or upgrade to a bigger bag. If you have any ideas you might upgrade to a large L lens (70-200 F2.8 or 100-400) get the next size up.

I just bought the Tamrac cyber pack 8 2 weeks ago. I didn't want to go with a backpack, but I am glad I did. I just bought the 20D with the 17-85 Lens, 70-200 Lens, 580EX flash, UV and Polarized filters, 2 - 1 gig cards. I also put in my Sony F828 with its flash. I have room for my Dell laptop also. It has very comfortable shoulder straps. I paid about $185 for the bag, and I am extremely happy with it.
