Right I'm not 100% happy with my camera bag setup (is this possible)! I currently have a Kata minibee 220, but its a bit of a squeeze to fit all of my kit in, and there is not really any space for spare batteries/memory cards. I find that I very rarely carry it on my back so I'm not looking for a rucksack, but need something to keep 2 x dslr's a 100-400mm lens, 4 x other lenses and then many accessories!

Can anyone recommend anything?
 
For that much stuff you need a case, not a bag. Unless you hate your back.

Think Thank Airport International v3 or Peli 1510.
 
Look at Billingham, they make some large shoulder bags, with carry handles, one neat trick is that often there is an extra handle inside so the bag can be carried easily when open. Not cheap, but will probably outlast you and your camera equipment!

Should be something out of the 5 or 7 series that meets your requirements.

What Raymond says is true though, a single strap shoulder bag with that much weight will kill.

FYI, I have a Crumpler Italian Job or connect....something back pack.

It can fit 2 bodies, about 5 lenses, a couple of flashes and a small 13" laptop. When it is full, I don't want to pick it up. Unless you intend to go on a hike where the ground is uneven, get something with wheels, carry a smaller day bag and work out of the wheeled case.
 
Thanks for the replies, to be honest it will only really need to be for carrying to the car, Its very rare that in walk around with all of my kit.
 
If you just want a bag to store and carry your kit in (rather than to walk around with), might this be any good to you?

I bought one of these a few weeks ago, it seems to have good review feedback (I've not owned and used mine long enough to give a proper review!), and I get a Canon 6D and a Canon EOS-3 with lenses fitted (Canon 24-105 zoom size ones) in it (stored lens down in the two, main rear compartments), plus room spare for lenses, flash and other kit. I measured up for a Canon 100-400 L MkII (I live in hope!) and it should fit comfortably height wise with the lid zipped shut.

The perfect camera bag? Well, initially I wished it had an external pocket at each end too (but with those and the rest of it filled with gear it would probably be too damned heavy to lift, let alone carry!), so I don't think it's a bad bag at all, particularly for the price. Anyway, I thought I'd mention it and you can see what you think? (y)
