I have three Tamrac back packs all of which are made to last a very long time. look at the Tamrac Expedition X5 great for more then one or more camera and several lenses and your other photographic equipment

Are there any bags that are modestly priced? Anyone selling one?


I have the Think Tank Streetwalker. It is perfect for me. It is the largest I could find that would be able to be a carry on for airplane travel. I have traveled with it a great deal. Very comfortable, lots of little pockets and you can arrange the padded dividers to any configuration. I carry a 15 inch laptop, d800, d7000, a 70 to 200mm, 50mm,105mm, 16 to 35mm, lens hoods, go pro, chargers, some filters, lens hoods, a kindle, lots of small accesories. It is very comfortable but gets heavy with the laptop in it.

I've done a lot of research and I have found the following backpack from B & H Photo in NYC to fit my need at a very modest price. Take a look

Mike, Manfrotto is currently running a great rebate offer until the 31st. I bought a smaller one for $90. The rebate is $30. I got it at a local camera store.

I swear by the Lowepro Fastpack 350 Quick Access Backpack for SLR Kit, 17" Notebook and General Gear having had a couple over the years. The first one was stolen ...... so clearly someone also thinks they are good.

Just add a couple of bungy straps for the tripod, otherwise it will accommodate all that you've mentioned + your sandwiches and a beer.

I have a Tamrac which will do all things u mentioned,but I should warn u bigger is not always better as I am 62 years young and in pretty shape and I can't load it up and carry on my back all day,I am looking at getting something smaller for all day hikes. Just saying if u don't have the space u won't be trying to fill it HI HI.

I have taken a different approach from the traditional camera backpack depending on how much I will be hiking and how much camera and other gear I will need. If I am going any distance and will require food water and extra clothing I use a large 70 liter plus back pack.I carry 2 dslr cameras with lens attached in holster bags and have room for additional lens or 2 plus food water and clothing and attach my tripod to it.it is well balanced and made for hiking distances therefore less fatigue.

I bought the Cannon 200 as shown at the link below and it probably has room for the stuff you listed. Bought mine at Best Buy for about the same price as online, $39 I did have to take a black sharpie to the little cannon logo as I shoot Pentax. The camera didn't complain.

I also use a Canon 200EG and have for the last 2 yrs. the bag has lots of room I think sometimes there is too much room because at the end of the day it tends to gain weight. Also I removed the Canon logo so as not to advertise what I'm carrying when on the street, but removing the logo did leave me with 2 small holes but they are hardly noticeable and my gear doesn't seem care. For the price I don't think one could go wrong.

The smallest of the LowePros you can use for the stuff you listed is LowePro Pro Runner 200AW . I stuff in the LowePro 200AW 2 Canon cameras(7D&70D) 2 zoom lenses, one Prime ,Flash, spare battery with charger. If you take only one camera you can take another lens. It has room for memory cards and accessories in the front and in the interior pockets. Very convenient for travel as it fits under the seat of any airplanes if you take it as personal item on board. It has a weather cover hidden at the bottom.
I may put mine for sale in a week.
Good luck!

I have a Lowepro Phototrekker AW that I purchased from Adorama several years ago, new, but just sitting in the closet, cheap. I pulled it out and took several pictures.
