I'm looking to get a decent bag to take with me when I go out, like to airshows or family gatherings. I don't have much gear now, but by summer I hope to have these lenses:

and accessories:

Can someone recommend me a good bag that can carry that?

Also, I'm looking at getting this for when I travel:

How's that?

The ThinkTank products are excellent. I would also look at Tamrac's line of wheelies, as I've been impressed with their construction.

What style of bag are you looking for? Shoulder bag, sling bag, backpack?

Any would be fine really. I don't have a preference.

That makes a recommendation a little more difficult! My main bag is a Think Tank Urban Disguise 40 because it holds everything I need, it's well-made, and doesn't scream "there's a camera in here." That one is a shoulder bag. I also have two different sizes of the Lowepro Flipside backpacks. I chose those because the zipper side is against your back so someone can't walk up behind you and take anything out. They are also pretty comfortable as well. My last bag is a Think Tank Digital Holster 30 for when I need just the 7D and the 70-200. I don't own any sling bags because I don't really care for that style of bag. Though if you want the quickest access to your camera they work pretty well.

With the amount of bags available it's almost impossible to find your "perfect" bag, which is why I ended up with four total. Like deciding which camera body you like best, I would suggest going to a camera store and trying out a few different ones. Bring your gear too and make sure what you have fits with enough room left for your intended purchases in the future. Bags are like cars, there a lot of them that will accomplish your needs, you just need to "test drive" a few to find the right one for you.

Yeah. There's no camera shops around here really, but I'll be going to phoenix for christmas and I'm gonna stop at a photomark there and see what they have. Right now I just use my bookbag if I'm going somewhere to keep my camera in. The lenses fit nicely in the side pockets at least, but I'd like an actual camera bag.
This is one that I like: http://www.thinktankph​oto.com …r-harddrive-backpack.aspx (external link)
I might get that and not get the rolling bag. One thing I'd like is for it to be able to hold my laptop as well and this can do that.

Hahahaha! I was hoping he didn't mean that either! Otherwise he will need a Sherpa, not a bag. :lol:

I just purchased the Crumpler 6 million dollar home bag and I love it! Not to big, not too small and great quality.

More like which lens do you intend to take with you.. and how often do you do it..etc, then find the bags that fit your need.

I have the following bags:
1. Lowepro Apex 140 AW LINK (external link)
- Great for me to walk around with, can use shoulder strap or just strap to the belt. Camera + 2 lenses + flash.

2. Lowepro Fastpack 250 LINK (external link)
- Great for me when I travel oversea. Laptop + camera + 4 lenses + flash.

3. LowePro Slingshot 300 LINK (external link)
- Thought I would use it more, but when I loaded it, it is kind of bulky and heavy to walk around with. So it has been sitting home acting as a "storage bag".

ThinkTank Airport International™ V 2.0 is an excellent bag. I have it. and it helps my shoulder out alot, especially after a long day shooting a wedding.

I also have the ThinkTank Streetwalker pro (backpack) that i use if I dont need everything or dont want to use a roller while walking around the city or the park... and also have the Domke F-5XC when I only need one or two lense.

I think you are going to need a wheeled cart to carry all of that, that is if you are being serious. :)
