I can carry all my camera gear in one bag. My still camera - Canon Powershot something-or-other - and 2 video camcorders; one is one of these things that look like a cylinder, and the other is a tiny little thing - the poor man's gopro!
I am hoping to reenter the world of the slr at some point soon, so I will probably need a bigger bag!

In all honesty forget trying to get your wife to pack less. Don't fight battles you can't win. If in fact she packs less and as a result doesn't have her favorite whaterver 20 years later she will still blame you and she will pack even more on every trip you take. Trust me on this I have personal experience to back this up.
Me too!!

I often finding myself packing every piece of gear and gadget I own when on a road trip for a couple of days. That makes for quite a lot of gear! I don't want to leave it in the car overnight, so I end up packing 5 or 6 bags into the hotel room, and back out in the morning. I need to consolidate a road pack to accommodate my needs. What do you guys pack for a 2-4 day trip?

just returned from week on the west coast, did Bodie CA Yosmite & san fran . Took 1 camera body (7D), 24 to 105 L series, a 10 to 20 mm polarizing filter and 10 memory cards and 4 batteries all in a sling bag. Not once did I want for something I left at home. ( I did ship my tripod to a friends house and used it a lot)
