I love my Lowerpro Microtrekker 200 bag but I've bought more gear in the last couple months that has put it past full.

What I've been able to hold comfortably with the MT200:

DSLR gripped w/lens attached (including 70-200)
24-60
70-200
10-20
85mm (so 4 lenses in total)
flash
CF cards, batts etc in the pockets


What I NOW need to hold extra:

second body (30D)
second flash
another lens or 2 for future expansion..

1. I don't want anything too big, just a size up from the M.T.200
2. Not too expensive. The M.T. was around $100 so maybe $120 range or a bit more?
3. I'd be up for a shoulder bag if it can give me easier access, and as long as I can still go on hikes etc with it.
4. Something that might work good for wedding photography??

Wow! You must be pretty strong. I think Tamrack makes a large backpack. I think it's called the Adventure 10. Or you could try the camping stores, they might have good backpacks.

2 bodies and 4 lenses doesn't seem like that much to me ??? I think alot of people on here carry around that much if not more. My lenses are not that heavy anyways.

I would look at the Tamrac Expedition line, i would guess you might need the 8, but there are reviews on the Camera Bag Reviews list if you want to have a look.

Tamrac makes excellent bags. Look at the Cyberpacs.

Lowepro vertex 100 or 200 depending on how much size you want
Very very good harness system (once you figure it out :p)
Better than tamracs and thinktanks that I tried, and the small trekkers (pro and super are better IMO)
