Well i have out grown my Lowe Pro Nova 1 (i know, not hard at all- fits my XTi, kit lens and 430 ex and that is about it... and a tight squeeze at that).
I am going ot end up with probably 4-5 lenses, a few other accessories, and probably don't need to carry a computer. I have done all the research on the internet of looking at Lowe Pro, Crumpler and Tamrac, but i would like to actually go and physically play with one. I have been to Ritz/Wolfe camera to look at some, but is there any where else that i can get one? Best Buy and Circuit city have a couple, but should i try sporting good stores? any other big box stores? Before i spend $100+ i would like to actually play with it. I have had a North Face backpack for 12 years. been all over the country, college and other places with me, biking, traveling (i used to fly 300,000 miles a year) and it still works great. that is the quality i am looking for.
I have spent the last three days reading posts on here about backpacks (and i am still unsure if want one or a top loader, but i already lug a messanger bag with me everywhere)
thanks!
