    DSLR bag

    Can anyone recommend a DSLR bag that will hold 2 or 3 lenses and 400D? I have the semi-hard case and tbh it's a pita to use nevermind trying to get the camera out for quick access.

    Crumpler.

    Anything by crumpler. They are amazing bags.

    I have a Pretty Boy 2500 (M) that can take my 350D with 17-85 IS Canon lens (and a paper back book on top) as well as a Bunny Man (although i don't think they do this exactt bag any more) which will also take a 70-300 IS Canon, 50mm prime, MP3 player, Panasonic compact TZ3, DS Light, book, and a bunch of cables and betteries. I used this as hand carry when flying round the US.

    I used to use a LowePro Micro Trekker 200 up until recently, when I upgraded to the CompuTrekker AW so I can take my lappy with me, but it really depends what you're looking for in a bag: I prefer a rucksac style, some people prefer a shoulder bag.

    Re: DSLR bag

    I bought a Crumpler in Malaysia last year. Looking at a few of the sites it's the Pretty Boy 7500 XXXL or something similar, and although it's pretty massive, I can get one body plus my 35, 50, 85, & Tamron 17-50, as well as my speedlight, four or five batteries, loads of cards and various other peripherals. It's a great bag, well padded, very comfortable to carry, and pretty good value for money.

    Another vote for Crumpler. I really like their stuff.

    The layout of the bags is really good, they're pretty much watertight, and they look decent.

    The rest of their stuff is pretty cool too, laptop bags and media player cases and the like.

    There's often decent deals on them on Amazon, and thru Amazon marketplace. I've found Mymemory to be competitive too.

    Any more kit and I'd nominate the massively popular Lowepro Mini Trekker AW. Eternally a grateful to those who recommended it to me, though I suspect it may be a little empty for you.

    Perhaps a SlingShot 100 AW or 200 AW.

    I have a slingshot as well, good bag. Really handy the way it swivles around the front, makes a good place to change lenses.
