Think tank, you might also do a search in Amazon and look at the reviews.

To me buying a camera bag is like women selecting a pocket book. It's based on individual requirements.
There are many out there and it depends on what you want to/need to carry in them.
What would be good for one person may not be good for another.
I like to see what they look like inside to see what equipment I have I can fit in them, and how it would fit.
Everyone has different stuff to place in them.
Good images of the inside are essential. If I can physically see them, all the better.

I guess that’s why I have 7 or 8 camera bags. As I grew into photographer, my need for a suitable bag also changed. I have 3 camera bags with different set ups in each that I use for what I am going to take pics of that day.

Yes, it depends on what you need/want to stuff in it that trip.
So far I only have 2-1/2. The half is a pouch type bag that holds the camera, memory cards, battery or two, and a filter or three, for REALLY traveling light. But, alas, it will not easily hold the camera well with the battery grip on it. I don't use that bag anymore.

Jules, I have a Think Tank Airport International V 3.0 I'm selling. Used it once to go to Scotland. PM me if interested.

Go to a real camera store, that way you can ask questions and compare your needs to several types/styles.
I am in the process of 'looking', also. But photos just can't tell the whole story; ie: shape, size, interior dividers, type (wheels), will what I have fit, feel, water resistant, accessibility, aircraft size, pockets, etc. Just to name a few! Good luck!

You failed to mention size (sort of important) anyway, here you go.

Just like purses (or wallets)...you can’t have too many!

To the OP, as my needs and/or gear change, so does my bag. If I wanted to take most of my gear on a plane, I would take it in my Pelican case. Very study with strong wheels and handle.

Do a search on this site because this question was asked recently and someone suggested a suitcase with padded inserts...inexpensive and customizable.

I have been pondering foaming the inside of a hard shell suitcase,that way it be tailored to my needs and have two or four wheels. Probably more economical as well.

Unless you really need more interior space, limit yourself to a bag that meets carry-on size restrictions. Think Tank, Tenba and Manfrotto make some nice ones ... so do a couple other brands. Look at both the interior and the side pockets to decide what meets your needs ... thinking only of the interior could lead to a poor choice. Some have space for a laptop and/or accessories inside the main compartment; others have this in outside pockets. Some have a nice, handy, small and convenient pocket that is great for airline boarding passes. Check out a few.

I had one of those YEARS & years ago (no wheels). Found that for me it was only good for transporting.

If you are a serious photographer and have multiple bodies, lenses, and accessories, you will end up with more than one bag for different purposes. I travel via air and have a two different sized backpacks I use to transport my allotment of gear to the destination. I use only one backpack per trip and one backpack can roll around or carried as a backpack while the other can only rest on my back. I then have an additional bag for the day's shooting needs. In total I have 5 different "camera bags". Choose for what you need at first and go from there. Remember, the camera bag will always hold more than you'll want to eventual carry! Side note: When looking for my first backpacking tent, the sales rep told me that he had 3-4 tents for backpacking. At first I didn't understand. Now I do. I currently have 2 different backpacking tents!
