I ended up with this: http://tenba.com/products/Messenger-Large-Bag.aspx Big enough for camera, flash, and a few lenses - PLUS my laptop. So now I can carry one bag back 'n' forth to work instead of two. The depth of this bag means I can carry the camera nose down just like I always

Charles, 'Bought' one myself a while ago and I like it. It is big, especially with a laptop along. I've got an orange one... I say 'bought' because the local camera outlet closed, leaving me with $100 in credits on developing. I went to the remaining store downtown looking for something to spend

For years, I've been using a Tamrac Velocity 3 shoulder bag. Just big enough for a camera with lens, 'nose down' in the middle section (ie, flip open the flap on the top of the bag, and you see the back/ screen of the camera), with a flash off to one side and a lens or two in the section

I was in a randy mood, Godders. And I use a sling-bag for casual outings, day to day. Various sized shoulder/handle bags for auto travel (but don't leave them in the car anymore), a Tamrac backpack for hiking, and a roller bag for air travel. Six Halliburton or Halliburton copies for
