Now with the shorty as my walk around lens when I don't want weight my bags are too big. Suggestions? I want a shoulder type back (no backpack), just enough room for the camera, spare battery and card. I like Lowepro generally.
 
I've been using the Lowepro terraclime 100 for the last few years in those cases when I'm out with family, or just need body w/ lens (and flash or 2nd small lens if 50 or 28 is mounted).

Can fit a 5d2 (no grip) and a 70-200f4 (hood reversed), or 7D+grip w/ 50 1.4.

Been very happy with it. Its a soft body, with an envelope that serves as padding. Doesn't look like a camera bag.

A nice small bag. I personally after having tried many bags with their "great features" have found Think Tank to win my affections for happy usability.

Super comfy to use. I apologize i know you wanted a small bag but consider this if you would.

I have the 30 which is much bigger but then it offers all the features i need to lug a chair, monopod, couple lenses and bodies with large lens and do it more comfortably than a backpack style pack.

Think Tank Retrospective is supurb - pick a number - 10,20,30.
My favorite is Domke 5xb - lightweight and durable
Tamrac has a couple of new messenger back so I would suppose Lowepro does also.
Billingham Hadley is georgous but pricey.
Naneu Pro Lima is rugged, cheap and comfortable.

If you're looking for a messenger style bag, then you might like the Tamrac Rally Series. I think they are a good looking bag and they offer various sizes, plus the bags are well built and they have good padding.

I have the ThinkTank Retrospective 20 and the Tamrac Rally 6. What I like about the Tamrac Rally series is the bags weight is 1-1.5 lbs. less than the same size bag in the Retrospective series.

When I'm walking around all day, the ThinkTank bags can start to feel heavy, so I now generally use the Tamrac Rally because it is much lighter.
