As others have said there is no perfect bag. I have 3 (all Lowepro - not because they're any better than the others; two came with cameras I bought on Ebay and I kept them).
For my basic "walking around" bag the Lowepro Nova 1 holds the DS with 16-45 zoom attached plus a 80-320 zoom and some accessories). That covers a good range of photographic possibilities. If I want a bit more, the Lowepro Nova 3 will fit another lens or two, a flash and maybe a point and shoot camera. Finally, I use the Lowepro Compu Daypack, which is the only one I specifically purchased. It's designed to carry a laptop computer in addition to camera gear, but I don't have a laptop and use that compartment for books, maps, documents etc). The bottom compartment fits the DS and a couple of extra lenses and the front compartment will take a long lens, a flash bracket with flash and cables already attached and accessories. The bag is by no means perfect but it's the best I've come across for carrying camera gear plus other non-photographic odds and ends.
