looking for camera backpack/sling for upcoming vacation

KKCFamilyman:
Hello,
I am going to San Diego and disneyland soon and want to carry my gear on my trip. I have the following:
Canon 5d3
24-105 with hood
50mm 1.4 hood
70-200 f4 is with hood (buying soon)
extra battery
430 ex ii
270 ex ii

I was used to the lowe pro sling shot 102AW but since going full frame now everything is bigger. I need to be able to stash the camera and grab it when a photo op comes up quickly so I would need to be able to stow the worst case scenario 5d3 with 70-200. The only ones I have found are the lowe pro 302aw which seems so big for a sling or the fastpack 350 but does not seem so well received. I have looked at the flipside but it seems so hard to spin the bag around just to take out the camera.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I live in San Diego and went to Universal Studios in Orlando  :D

I use a Tamrac evolution to carry my stuff (MK III 24-105; ex430; 70-200; filter; battery...etc.) on the plane.  When it came time to hit the park, I take the III, a lens, flash and battery--leave the rest in the hotel room.

in other words, i pick what I will use and carry that--much lighter.  Actually, the extra space in the backpack is used for the junk the kids buy.

I also use the sun sling strap.

Its always tempting to want to carry everything but you rarely use everything.

enjoy San Diego

I find shoulder bags the best for on-the-fly access. In a Crumpler 7 MDH bag, I can fit a 5D3 with 24-105 and hood attached, another 5D3 with 16-35 and hood attached, 70-200 f/4 IS and hood attached, 430EX II, filters, and small accessories like batteries, memory cards, wallet, mobile phone, etc.  I'm sure I could fit another small prime if I wanted to.  You can fit a 5D3 with a 70-200 f/4 IS attached in the 7 MDH, but without the hood or the hood has to be reversed.
