Really tkx you two. As Robert said, it not suitable for all occasions. Short trip is the good part of it, but if I want to take more gadgets, it is too small. I also need a backpack. Generaly speaking, it is a good product, good for touching and durable.

If you want a backpack then there are some good makes around. I use the LowePro range but I also have a Tamrac Expedition x5 and it is very comfortable for long walks with loads of heavy gear. Mine sometimes has 15-20lbs of kit in it.

Glad to have been of some help Clay. I used to have a conventional bag such as you have bought, but after 30 odd years it literally fell apart and the zips stopped working. Since then I found a slingshot bag to be ideal for events where I know what lenses I need and can limit their number but with more, heavier lenses it was a drag on one shoulder, I found I needed to swap sides regularly. Then I got a Lowepro 400 AW backpack, it has become my main bag which I grab when I am going away on a trip. http://store.lowepro.com/backpacks/flipside-400-aw  Backpack by Robert, on Flickr Although it carries all the gear I need including the 300 f2.8 mounted with a body, I can carry that all day and not feel discomfort. I use it for rambling in the Lake District fells and to carry my gear around the many Botanic Gardens I visit. One of the features I feel is important is the main compartment can only be opened once the backpack has been taken off and laid on the ground, or whatever, this stops any potential hooligan sneaking up behind me and unzipping the bag and dumping the contents on the floor. A difficult situation where I could be torn between collecting up my broken lenses in the hope one has survived and beating the living daylights out of the culprit. I also have a lovely little Nikon bag which I use with the D3100, just big enough for the camera with it's 18-105 lens and a small adjustable compartment for charger, small flash or other gubbins. Very light, compact and inconspicuous.  Camera Bag by Robert, on Flickr This Lowepro is very similar to my small Nikon bag. Great for a quiet day out when I might want to grab a pic of something but don't want to be burdened down with gear.

You are really a good Guy, Robert. Your suggestions are very useful. I love the second one, what is the model of it?

<Blush> Glad I can help Clay. The bag is the Nova 160 AW: http://store.lowepro.com/shoulder-bags/nova-160-aw One feature I particularly like is the pockets for the CF cards. The bags are well made and robust in my experience. The choice of camera body and lenses, therefor also choice and type of bag has more to do with the event you are covering than what gear you own. I almost never take all my gear on an assignment, indeed I would need a pack pony to carry it!
