I'm looking for a way to carry around a Digital Rebel with several lenses (the largest a 70-200 f/4L), a 420ex flash and an Apple 12" iBook. Obviously, there are backpacks made for this very purpose, but I don't want to constantly lug around something too huge if I can avoid it. The iBook is smaller than the standard laptop computers these backpacks are built to accomodate, so I might be able to find a more portable solution.

Can anybody recommend a particularly compact shoulder bag or backpack under $120? I'm leaning heavily towards the LowePro Computrekker (I have another Lowepro bag already). What about the Canon backpack? I know it's not on the same quality level, but I can't even find a picture of the Canon's interior or what it holds. I've looked at Tamrac backpacks, but they're certainly not cheap. Any other suggestions?

I have the Tamrac Adventure 8 I took it to Europe for 3 weeks, it held all my Sony 828 equipment a portable hard drive and all the chargers cords and my IDs, etc. I purchased it from Amazon.I think they have several different sizes of backpacks, good luck.

I've been happy so far with my canon BP 200 EG for about $40 at a brick&mortar. nice size...lots of goodie pockets. probably not very good though for trying to carry a laptop around in it. hope this helps

Thanks, Eric. It certainly helps to see the inside. Why in the world would Canon NOT have an image of the bag's interior on their site?
