Camera Bag?

[mishmatta]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, so I apologize if it is not - just let me know and I'll post elsewhere.

I'm trying to find a good camera bag. I don't mean just for the camera, but a huge bag to tote on all my jobs.

Here's a brief outline of what I take: 1 camera, 3 lenses, 2 flashes, multiple flash diffusers (gary fong, big bounce, etc), reflectors, batteries, Wireless flash triggers, lens hoods, small binder and pens/business cards.

I'm sure there are other things that go in there but that's the bulk of it.

What I've been using so far (don't laugh) is an old diaper bag - black, padded, simple. Downfall, it was one big compartment, so everything was thrown in a pile. That broke and I got a rolling piece of luggage - actually I think its laptop luggage. It works nice, but its a bit cramped in there. The compartments are not wide enough for the gear. Although it is padded, it just doesn't give me easy access.

I've been looking online, and its so hard to judge things by a picture. I need a large bag obviously. I was hoping to get some input about bags everyone uses, especially if they carry everything with them like I do. I value recommendations over me winging it.

Thanks so much!

I think a good bag for you is the Canon Gadget Bag 2400. It's the bag I use and its great. It can fit almost anything, while being water repellent, customizable, and extremely durable. There are also a lot of little side pockets to stash other accessories and memory sticks! Here's the link where I bought it- Canon Gadget Bag 2400 Digital SLR camera carrying case at Crutchfield.com
-Good Luck

Have you tried looking at cambags.com? A lot of the reviews have users sending in pics of the bags loaded, so you get a better feel for what a bag can and cannot haul about.
