Looking for a new bag/backpack

[Cali_PH]

Yet another vote for F-Stop bags, although, as others have mentioned, they're outside the range you mentioned.  I've had the Loka for over a year, and taken it on a lot of hikes/trips.  I like how the Loka fits into the overhead bin on planes, and will hold my tripod on the side, not the back like a lot of photo backpacks.

I vote for the F-stop bags... They are a little expensive but well worth it!

Some great links in this thread.  I picked this up last month - Love it.

The Kata Bug 205 PL (larger black one in this video:

No dedicated personal items compartment, but plenty of room to utilize the upper space for such items if you choose.  It carries well and I particularly like the ability to get to my camera without opening the whole bag.

LowePro ProTrekker 400AW - I am as happy with it as with my other 2 LowePro bags.

This is my backpack and I love it. I've used it in the snow, when its snowing. Everything stayed dry with the cover. It fits all my gear nicely and the up top storage is great. Even holds a tripod on the side, not the front.
