Camera Labs

Right now I'm looking for a camera bag that also allows me to carry things like maybe a water bottle or two, cell phone, sunglasses, food, etc. to carry on day trips like if I was out hiking or walking around a city or something like that.
I have a rebel xti with a 55-135 zoom, and I'm looking to buy a wide angle 10-22 sigma and a 60mm canon macro.
I was looking at the sinking barge and crumpler bags because I like the style (I'm looking for a backpack that does not look like a camera bag) but I dont need the space for a laptop. I would like to spend no more than 200$. Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm only 5'4 so something huge might not be the best thing. besides that, I don't exactly want to lug around some huge thing

rain resistant would be a large plus! (I always seem to be stuck in the rain at the most inoppurtune times!)

I use a Lowepro Rover AW and I really like it. It's a two compartment pack (gear on the bottom, stuff on the top). I can carry my Canon 20D with an EF 28-135mm lens attached (with hood on), EF 70-300mm lens (with hood on), 18-55mm lens, 580EX II flash, extra battery, flash cards, tripod, lunch, light jacket (top compartment is not huge), and two water bottles on the side. It has a hip belt for long hikes, and a handle on top for easy pick up. It's all weather and extremely comfortable. My only complaint is that it's not easy access, but I don't think any of the backpacks are. You have to take it off to access the bottom compartment. But really, that's a small problem.

Hi Katie, these might be overkill, but they do different models and sizes, so it could be worth checking out further...

thanks for the replys. Does anyone in the US know where I could try any camera backpacks out? I'd really just like to try some on and get a feel for how big they are.

Hi Katie, most camera shops will have bags, and you may also find some suitable models in outdoor shops...

I use the Tamrac Adventure 9, but they have others in the adventure series such as the adventure 7 without the laptop compartment.
