On the hunt for a camera bag to hold a DSLR, a lens or two, and a bunch of other stuff. The ability to tote a laptop is probably a good idea in the long run since at least you have the option rather than carrying a second bag.
Nothing too fancy or expensive either. The two contenders are the Lowepro Fastpack 250
So it looks like it’ll be the Lowepro which has excellent reviews and an interesting side access panel to easily pull out your DSLR. Both bags are bigger and bulkier than I had wanted, but it’s the obvious trade off of wanting to carry more or less in the packs.

Greg:
I went with a LowePro CompuDayPack and am very pleased. 6-slot padded base compartment (adjustable) holds lenses & cables and lensbrush and the like very well – including, juuuuust barely, my Canon ES 70-300mm IS USM. The 50mm prime fits with its lens hood on, but I have to remove the lens hood for the 70-300.
Comfortable padded straps, easily adjustable, fairly spacious "other" compartment up top.
Thanks. I don't have (and hope not to have) all that gear. Went with the Fastpack 250 that's available on Amazon with free shipping.
(FWIW, I got it at Kaimuki Camera when I was last in Hawaii, for…. $89 IIRC)
