Depends how much gear your going to be carrying. For a basic film or photo setup with your body and a fair amount of glass and maybe a flash go with the sequence or zoom. If you going full out 2 flashes, flash stands, wizards, bodies, glass, and other components, you going to want one of the bigger lowerpro bags.

for shoots where you need some mobility, if you are carrying a DSLR body with 3-4 lenses and a flash, you can't beat the lowepro slingshot... it's a messenger style bag that swings around opens like a mini table in front of ya, no need to put your shit down in the snow.

IDK about that. It will hold all that stuff, but the only thing I don't like about mine is that I can't keep my 70-200 on my camera. It's about 2 inches too big to fit in the bag. If your OK with putting on and taking off lenses, it's a great bag, it's so comfy, and has good straps and padding, but for long lenses it isn't great for leaving them on.

I use a lowepro computrekker aw.
Fits my D200 with 70-200 2.8 and battery grip attached. My D70 and all my lenses, flashes, batteries, tripod, etc etc etc. However, it's not the most comfortable bag in the world.

I fucked up. I have a tamrac adventure 7. That goes by what I said. The expedition will no doubt fit a lot of shit. I like having a place to put other things besides my camera tho, which is another reason I like my bag.

I just ditched the lowe bag for skiing and picked up a sequence. Get one, it's so much more comfortable than the lowe bags for riding. I can still cary both of my bodies, 4 lenses and 2 flashes in it no problem. And there's plenty of room still available for other items like PW's and whatnot.

I use a Lowepro Minitrekker classic for my VX and that works fine for me. I rarely ride with it though unless I'm at a resort like Stratton where everything is huge.

Christmas is coming up and I need a camera bag. I've read through here and such but I need a deffinite answer for this. I'm sure someone is in the same situation as I am. I need a backpack to carry my vx1000, dslr, tripod, batteries, 2 flashes, 18-50mm couple other lenses, wide angle, tripod and tapes. I might also want to carry my laptop or extra clothes and such.
