I found my field bag

After many days of online research and some great recommendations from folks at work and left on this blog, I found the perfect bag for me.
It's the Lowepro SR D550 Stealth Reporter:


I'm very excited about this bag. It looks like it can hold all my equipment with some room to grow. It can hold two DSLR bodies (I only have one) and all the lenses and accessories, plus it has a pocket for a 12 inch notebook. My little Fujitsu tablet will fit nicely with room to spare. I chose it for the easy access, good price (bought at Newegg for $149) and great design.

I decided to go with a bag over a backpack because it works for work. I will probably get a backpack eventually for hikes and outdoor trips.

I just hope the bag gets here before we have to leave for our Colorado trip. I was hoping to use this bag as my second carry on item.

One commenter here suggested Crumpler bags. I checked the website and I couldn't find one for laptop and camera that wasn't massive. There just aren't many folks using 12 inch notebooks like me. I don't need room for a 15 incher or the extra weight that goes with the extra room. Crumpler bags are also really expensive, a similar bag was about $100 more than this one.

Lowepro might be a little cliche, but there is a reason these things are everywhere, they are great bags. Plus, how could I resist a name like "The Stealth Reporter?" It sounds like a comic book hero.
