What bag would be good to hold a 350D with a 70-200 F/4L attached? Also, with room to hold like 2 more lenses and a 420ex flash.

I want to make sure the bag can hold that combo.

The XT is about 3 inches from back to front and the 70-200 is almost 7 inches long. Meaning, I need 9 inches inside in order to hold them.

I have one dilema, though. I'm not sure if I'd like a backpack or a shoulder pack. They both have their pros and cons and to me the main pro of a backpack is it's a hell of a alot more comfortable. I'm used to weight anyways (you know how college is with books). But....The shoulder pack offers quick access to things and can serve as a little platform to rest stuff on while you change lenses. With the backpack you'd have to remove it, place it on something, unzip it, change stuff, zip it back up, and put it back on.

Now, you might say "go for the Tamrac Velocity series because it offers the best of both worlds" but I say no! Heh, I tried one at the store and it seemed so clunky and congested for some reason. Didn't like it.

I think I'm leaning towards a shoulder bag. But someone mind showing me one from each catagory?

It's your fault for making my catch L fever.......now you gotta help me contain it. hahah

Thanks in advance. :)

Any thoughts on the Tamrac Zoom Traveler 4 (604)? Seems like it's internal dimensions are
10 1/2"W x 5 1/2"D x 7 1/4"H

I use Lowepro Stealth Reporter 650 AW - holds 70-200 with hood on camera easily.
