Depends on what gear you want to carry.

Instead of the backpack which I never had I found myself a small and cheap duffel bag. I lined the sides and bottom with foam rubber and created my own pockets and slots for lenses. The zippered section held my manuals, filters etc. I travelled with it and it didn’t shout “ camera bag” to anyone around.
I’ve also seen some larger coolers outfitted as a tote bag for equipment. Takes a little time and ingenuity but you have things just the way you want them at a reduced cost
Thrift stores also have some camera bags you might use.
Hope this is a little help to avoid some high costs.

You might want to check out the Thinktank line of bags. They are well made and reasonably priced. I have several for my mirrorless cameras.
Out of all the camera bags I have, they are my favorite ones.

Bill, I usually carry a backpack with two Nikon's with lenses attached, two extra lenses, flash, and extra stuff. But sometimes I just want to take one camera with lens attached, a tablet and a couple filters. I've looked at several bags for this and haven't found one I like. I think I like this one. I'm not the op, but thanks for the idea.
To the op, I use a back pack and love it for caring a lot. Will fit under seat I'm plane I think. Without a tripod, it does not scream " camera bag".

I am convinced that there is not the perfect camera bag. I have several styles but use a Vanguard Messenger bag for event shooting and a Peak Design Backpack for hiking.

I think you are right. We all have at least two. No one bag does it all.

There is no perfect camera bag IMO, but I grab this one when I only want to bring a couple lenses and a camera. It fits well and is very durable.

I carry around my camera gear in a gym bag. It has a shoulder strap as well as a left & right hand strap, and 2 small compartments. And it "says" smelly socks, not expensive camera gear.

I started looking for a Messenger style bag and ended up with a Sling Bag, a Think Tank Photo Cross--they've got 3 sizes. Lowe Pro has a great selection, too. I liked it because it was more secure to my body and had a waist strap to stop it from swinging around while hiking.
I really suggest finding that elusive place the Camera Store, bring in your kit, and try out a few bags. Load 'em up and strap 'em on and walk around. If ya have to go to the Big City, make a trip out of it. If you hate your bag, the Camera stays home more often.
Good luck,
C
