Does anyone know where a person can buy a photography vest that has all the cool pockets?

You might also try a "fishing vest". I purchased my photo vest at a "pro" camera shop. Where are you located? (I would bet that B&H sells them)
If you have an army-navy surplus store near you, you may can find one there. One is made for law-enforcement that has lot of pockets and zippers that would work.
B&H does have them but will check my local army-navy store first. I am located in Texas north of Houston.

I would try the surplus angle first. IMO, you over-pay for the photo-vest (speaking from experience!)
Make sure the pockets are secure. I lost a 21/2.8 Elmarit-M in Moscow from wearing a cheap vest with insecure pockets. That's serious money.

With a cool vest and a new Canon Camera I can at least look as though I know what I am doing :-)

adorama.com also carries them
They show them in the back of photography magazines, or just google them. Either should give you plenty vest to choose from. Good luck in finding one.
I have a tramrac photo vest and love it. tried the fishing vest didn't work for me. Keep in mind a vest DOES NOT take the place of a good bag. A vest does not offer any protection for you gear just a convience while shooting.

This is true. I've used my vest as extra pockets when out hiking.
