I have outgrown the camera bag I got with my original camera kit. Looking for recommendations for a quality camera bag and recommendations on a style. This is the gear I currently have (all Canon):

7D Mark II camera
EF50mm f/1.8 STM
EF100mm f/2.8L MACRO IS USM
EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Would like to be able to carry all. I don't plan on carrying along a laptop or anything. Thanks in advance!

I have a Manfretto sling backpack that works well. Backpacks are better for carrying lots of lenses. A sling tends to allow better access without having to put it down.

You may want to consider going to a Brick and Mortar store that carries them with your equipment to see what style you will like best.

You have one in Rochester.

It's all personal preference. I am high on Peak Design: https://www.peakdesign.com/ and also Manfrotto: https://www.manfrotto.us/ , but there are quite a few very good products out there. My best advice is to go to a local camera store and check out what they have. That's how I found Manfrotto.

Checkout the "Lowpro" line of Camera bags, quality, medium priced, good variety.

You should be able to get the above camera gear in a camera bag, that you can fit in the above luggage compartment on an airliner. And you probably wouldn't want to take more than that on a vacation, anyway.

What type of camera bag are you looking for? If you are looking at shoulder bags check out LowePro bags. Their Magnum series shoulder bags are the strongest shoulder bags I've seen. I have the Magnum 200AW bag. It has a one-piece molded bottom that can take a lot of weight. It's a fairly large bag. Their Magnum 400AW and Magnum 650AW bags are even larger.

LowePro Nova series shoulder bags are very good also. Check out the new Nova 200AW II. It has a reinforced bottom that can take a lot of weight without sagging. They're not quite as strong as the Magnum series though.

I'm looking for something that would be easy to switch lenses from without having to put everything down. Thanks for the recommendations!

Take a look at Domke Bags. F6, F2, F1-X. Easy to work with while on shoulder. All three fit under airline seat. The F1-X has become my go to bag to organize camera equipment and more on long overseas trips.

I just completed research to purchase a bag to handle two full size DSLR’s with lenses attached with room for additional lenses, accessories. I wanted something that could be carried on any flight, domestic or international. I looked at literally everything on B&H. I found this

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1326429-REG/gura_gear_g0201_1717_g26_backpack_charcoal.html

The price is $220 off because the company, Gura, joined Tamrac and they are deeply discounting remaining inventory. I received the bag two days ago; it is worth way more than I paid for it.

I have owned a number of bags and backpacks. I recently purchased a new backpack from Think Tank. The backpack is awesome and the quality is outstanding. Check them out https://www.thinktankphoto.com/?rfsn=435763.03365

Camera bags are like shoes, one pair is not enough! I currently have five different bags for various kinds of shoots.
