My go to bag for the last forty years has been the Tough Traveler (www.toughtraveler.com). My first one was purchased in 1979 and is still going strong. I can easily carry to bodies with lenses attached, flash, several extra lenses, plus four exterior pockets carry all sorts of things that photographers like. (I carried two Hasselblads with lenses attached plus wide angle and telephoto lenses and angle grips with flash equipment) I bought my second one about 13 years ago, and there were some modifications. They added an aluminum "roll" bar that easily slips in or out, but does add some extra security from being crushed. The model I have is CAMERA BAG #481 (Custom Order Only), and I noticed that they are showing it as sold out. As I recall, it was around $200, but in my opinion worth ever penny. Changing over to DSLR equipment, I can easily cary two bodies with lenses, plus everything else you can imagine. Even though it is large, it is still within carry-on size requirements. There are dual top zippers that give access to the camera bodies, or lenses and accessories, and there are additional zippers that open small pockets on each side of the main compartments with foam padding where I store things like maps, zip ties, you name it. The four other external pockets hold lots of goodies like batteries, memory cards, sync cords, or transmitter/receiver devices (firewire for example). There is a shoulder strap, and a center handle, balanced to the middle of the bag, and tripod carrying straps under the bag. It is not a backpack, but I have found it far more accessible than the backpacks. I can have it on my shoulder, and get to everything I need very quickly. Photographers like pockets, and inside the two main compartments, there are small pouches around the edge that are great for stashing filters, lens cleaning cloths, memory cards, etc. I have travelled all over the world with my Tough Traveler bags, and haven't found anything better.

They do have lots of other camera bags to choose from, but this is my favorite. (I do have one of their smaller bags for short weekend trips). Check out the website, and look at all they have.

My question would be do your plan on flying and carry the case on board.
I have a tamrac backpack style that is big and exactly the legal size for flights.
I have Lowe Pro too.

No flying. Home to car, car to shoot and return. Some light hiking on occasion, but definitely within the shoulder case range.
