| Which DSLR camera bag do you guys have?
looking for compact size dslr bag that will fit 2 lens and body, maybe potentially a flash (in the future).
I dont know whats better, the lunch box looking ugly one or the sling type over the shoulder or a backpack style.
Looking for fresh looking models and not boring type .:
Currently saw some from "crumpler" - muffin top 4000, 5 million dollar home
"lowpro"- sling shot? or slingback 200
" canvas/khaki vintage style from ebay (china seller)
Any other suggestions?

I have a few actually, as no one bag could really fit my needs.
Lowepro Nova 180- mostly stays home as a storage bag.
Crumpler 6 million dollar home- my go-to bag for pretty much everything but travel. fits body+lens, and 2 smallish lenses/flash, with enough pockets for smaller accessories like batteries, cards, and blowers. Really doesn't look that big in person. (The 5 was just a tad too small for me, as it probably won't fit 2 lenses/flash additional)
Lowepro Fastpack 250- travel bag to consolidate laptop and camera bags into one personal item on a plane. I also use this when shooting outside with my 70-200 2.8, as it's the only bag that will fit it body attached.
If I could go back, I'd look into the thinktank retrospective series. The 20 (I think) can fit a 70-200 with body attached, and looks very sharp. Thinking about it though, I'd have a tough time carrying that around for more than an hour :S
For what you're looking for, a 5MDH is a good place to start.

I think everyone needs a few bags  At least 1 shoulder bag (traveling light) and 1 backpack (packing more stuff).
I have the Crumpler 4 and 6 million dollar bags and Kata 3n1-20 backpack. I rarely use the 6MH anymore, though it can pack quite a bit of stuff, I find it more comfortable using the backpack.

Lowepro Toploader 75. Great if you have a battery grip on your camera 
Side pocket fits a medium sized flash as well

I use a crumpler 6mdh as well for around town.
If I need to pack more gear or when traveling, I use the crumpler backpack I bought a while ago (Karachi outpost).
More comfy to carry with a back pack but not as quick to access my gear  Posted via RS Mobile | |

DR-466i red for travelling and hikes
blackrapid RS-5 for day trips and short hikes
or I put the padded case from the DR-466 into a regular messenger bag for when I want to be a a little discreet. Works great

I have a Crumpler 6mdh. Pretty awesome.
Lately I've been finding I really enjoy using discreet bags that aren't camera bags.

Going to need to carry around all my video stuff this summer so I bought a Crumpler Karachi Outpost while on my trip. Thing holds a 15inch laptop and my mic/steadicam/lenses/body all in the pack. Very convenient as my 6MDH wasnt cutting it with the single strap and space issue.
