Hi, kids,

I'm looking to get a new bag to haul my stuff around, so I thought I'd solicit some advice from fellow photographers. I need to carry a Canon 30D with two lenses, a small tripod, and the other "stuff" we always have with us: cleaning supplies, filters, etc. For vacations, I also need a bag that will carry my laptop, since I need someplace to store a week or more of images, and I'm really paranoid about leaving a nice, easy-to-carry computer in a hotel room.

I currently have a Tamrac Adventure 9, which will hold everything, but has virtually nonexistent waist support, so all the weight is hanging off my shoulders, and the pack is always right against my back, so my shirt always ends up soaked with sweat.

I'm looking at something like a LowePro CompuTrekker, but I haven't actually tried one out at a store, so there's still time to talk me out of it if you know of something better.  :unsure:

Thanks,
Dennis
