I've been looking for a camera bag to take with me to school along with my messenger bag with my books in it. I'm getting a slingshot 200 for my general use, but I need an extra smaller bag.

I want something kind of discreetish, that I could fit a camera with a midrange zoom attached, with maybe 1 or two extra small lenses (like a 50 prime or maybe an UW). Realistically I wouldn't be taking too many lenses with me to school.

Any recommendations?

Same exact with the messenger bag with books. Check out the lowepro flipside 200.

Look at Crumpler and then look at gearx.com for what they have since they have the best price.

i like the crumpler bags a lot.
I was looking at the 5 million dollar home for just my dslr and an extra lens, but then the 6 million dollar home or 7 million dollar home look nice for general shooting (it doesn't look like a camera bag) instead of the slingshot.
I couldn't afford both though, so I either need to just take less gear with me, or have a bag that's slightly too big to take with me to school.

Alternatively is there a smallish camera bag (like six million dollar home size) where I could just fit 2 or 3 notebooks in? then I wouldn't really need my current bag at all. If a notebook wouldn't fit, I could try the 7 million and just have that be my only bag.

I just picked up a crumpler 6 million dollar home and it is the perfect size. I really think the 5 million would have been to small.

No no, look at their messenger bags. Check those out. Then if you want call Nanue Pro for an insert for $15 ish. I'll try and get a review up of my Dreadful Embarrassment with gear and books. It's kinda large thought. You could go smaller.

That's what some have done here.

here's the bags they have left and at the best price you'll fine. http://gearx.com …37f61e84481ad15​d6d65b2722 (external link)

Here's the line of Crumpler Laptop bags or you can get just a regular messenger bag.

Im in the same sort of situation. Im looking for a half decent messenger bag for uni that i can fit the 20D and the 50 and 10-20 and some books in. Although it looks like i will have to buy a plain messenger bag and make my own inserts or buy a crumpler customary barge (or something similar)

Did you see Namaste creation with the Nanue Pro inserts? Seriously...I'll get it up tomorrow night. My Dreadful Embarrassment and books and some gear.
