Default Camera bag recommendations

I just got my new 7d about 3 weeks ago and have been loving it so far. Now I have accumulated alot of accessories and lenses. I have a 7d, a 70-200 f4l, a tamron 17-50 2.8 and a 50mm 1.4 and a 430 ex II flash gun. I was using my dads medium sized minolta shoulder strap camera bag from 20 yrs ago.... when I just was using my 17-50 and my 50mm 1.4 but now with my flash and 70-200 i can't fit everything safely. I really have no idea on what bag to get and don't feel like researching... I want a back pack camera bag that will hold all my accessories and leave more room for lenses that i would get in the future and to be able to hold a monopod. I would like to keep it in the 30-80 dollar range. BTW I have a huge video camera bag ( i mean a bag big enough to fit this a 1d mark IV and a ef 200 1.8 and a 300 2.8 and other large lenses but there aren't any dividers so i'm not sure how secure it is. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I like my Canon backpack.

There's a thread in this section titled "show me your camera bag" that is full of stuff.

www.cambags.com is a great site for getting info.

Given your price criteria, the Canon backpack mentioned above may be a good choice.

i have the Canon 200EG backpack, and i have to say it is amazing. it can fit my gripped body w/ lens attached, my 2 other lenses, my 430exii, battery chargers, filter kits, cleaning kits, and still has room for another potential 4 lenses and/or another body.

Most of the Lowepros and Tamracs are about $150, and I think they would fit your gear, the Tamrac Expedition 7X, for example. Try to find a less expensive one built on that idea.
