Default What is your favorite travelling camera bag

Hello All

I'm wondering what do you guys use to carry your camera on a trip. I frequently take photo trips and I usually take my Canon EOS t1i with the kit lens, and my 15" laptop with me. Personally I am looking for a light weight backpack that can house a T1i with battery grip, and also carry my 15" laptop with me on my back, so far I haven't find a bag that fits my need.

I also have been looking at a sling bag, but most of them won't fit a camera with a battery grip.

What do you use and why do you like it.

For that I might just get a large-ish normal backpack, then one of those form-fitting cases for the rebel, and a sleeve for the laptop.

I really like my LowePro Primus AW
Lowepro - Primus AW

The bottom section is a camera bag and the upper section is a backpack (I'm using that section mostly for my photo accessories). Most backpak I tried had a lot of space for camera gear but less for normal stuff when travelling/trecking. I would say this one is half and half (you can't really fit more than 3 lens in the bottom section). There is also an exterior pocket for easy coat/sweater access and everything you need to attach a tripod.

The compuPrimus AW as the compartment for a laptop but is also bigger.

Kata Sensitivity V, but I wanted slim profile (it's kind of like the girdle of backpacks) more than carrying space; and I'm an urban traveler with way too much electronic gear. Among the Kata bags, the 3n1s, DR 466 or 467 (or the i versions if you're hauling along a tripod), or Bumblebee series might be more what you're looking for.
