Look at LowePro. Dont be tempted to take everything you own. Travel light, travel right!

Sometimes I feel like selling all my equipment and buying a small high quality point and shoot

I said that just recently myself. The bad thing is I have no one close (family or friends) that have much interest in cameras/photography. So even vacation photos are downloaded to the computer and backed up most often never to be seen again. 😂. Lighten the load does get attractive !

I have that very same bag - have hauled it most everywhere, planes, trains, automobiles 😂 and cruise ships and absolutely love it. In my case though, age and my back have started barking back at me so I just don’t want to lug that bag around. I just recently went to a roller bag (Amazon - about $129) and it sure seems like the answer for me. Holds a lot of stuff and can be arranged to carry some ‘overnight’ necessities also if desired. Did hate giving up the backpack however.

I too have the Lowepro Fastback 250. I highly recommend it.

I DID try it going with m4/3rds and I just wasn't happy with the final results. I guess until I just can't carry my equipment, nor want to, it's going to be the big guy coming along with me.

So I am looking for a travel bag that will handle camera gear for a trip but also have room for other things. I have a camera bag and another back pack but I am looking for one bag that will do both for a River Cruise this spring. Will be traveling light as possible with camera equipment but still needs protection. Would like room for other things too in this bag as carrying two bags on air plans is not practical.
Any suggestions for a combo pack?
Thanks

After several trips with my Canon 80D, 3 lenses, extra batteries, memory cards, external flash and some other stuff, I decided to downsize. After a trip to the camera store Thursday, here's my new camera bag: https://www.tamrac.com/collections/pro-compact/products/pro-compact-1 It holds my new Canon G5X Mk II, two spare batteries and a few SD cards. It will fit in a small backpack with my tablet (replacing my laptop), Kindle, and a few other things. The camera "bag" fits in a normal jacket pocket, the camera itself fits in a shirt pocket. Can I carry the 80D with all of the stuff in it? Yes. I walked 6-8 miles a day carrying it at Laguna Seca Raceway for 4 days in September 2019, and will do it again in September 2020. Do I want to carry it around on vacation? No, so I won't.
