Help with Camera bags

Hi all,

I am looking at buying a bag for my camera. I have been looking over websites all day and was looking to see if anyone here could give me any pointers.

I have an Olympus e-410 DSLR with two lenses, one lens is a 70-300mm and the other is 17.5 o 45mm lens. Ideally I want a bag that can carry all of that, plus have room for another 2 lenses as well as a mains charger.

I have also seen some bags that let you carry a laptop in them as well, this would be great if I could have that too.

I am looking for something pretty sturdy that will keep everything secure whilst travelling.

Has anyone got any good recommendations? I came close to ordering a few but was unsure if they would be big enough for the lenses I currently have.

HELP!

I've got an Naneu Pro backpack (from the US) which takes loads of kit and a laptop - its great, but I find I dont use it that much because when its full it weighs a ton.

Re: Help with Camera bags

For reviews take a look at www.cambags.com

For selection on the web take a look at morris photo

Personally I like the Kata bags, but they are more expensive than others. The Kata 467 holds a laptop, SLR + 2 lenses, plus has a pouch for your other stuff.

Many people like Tamrac and Lowepro bags.
