The Crumpler "Million Dollar Home" camera bags are popular with SLR photographers who want to carry their gear in a bag that doesn't look like a "steal me" camera bag. Quality is excellent with a heavy water-resistant outer fabric and heavily padded pockets inside. Crumpler retail prices are on the high side, but now you can buy discontinued colors at a 40+% discount direct from Amazon
.com, or a slightly bigger discount from eBags via Amazon.com. Free shipping either way.For example, here is the popular Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home bag (big enough for a pro SLR body and extra lenses) for $80 in the brown or red colors, but $140 in other colors:

Several other models are on sale. Search Amazon for "Crumpler Million" to see other bags in this series. Look in the color selection menu to see which colors are on sale. Look in the "more buying choices" menu on the right for the eBags prices. Free shipping either way.
One suggestion: you always seem to want to carry more gear than your bag will hold. Unless you want to force yourself to travel light, consider buying a bigger bag than you think you will need. You can always stick some candy bars or a water bottle in the extra lens pockets.
Looks like eBags is offering 8% Cash Back right now. A slightly better deal is to buy directly from eBags.com to get the 8% Cash Back (a 50% total discount on some of the bags). Use coupon code "CATAPLPH8" for free shipping.
