It's a backpack big enough to hold a 17-inch MacBook Pro. It's a camera bag big enough to hold a photojournalist's basic kit, including digital SLR, three pro zooms (16-35mm f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, and 70-200 f/2.8), strobe, CF cards, spare batteries, and a few filters. It's even a daypack big enough for a fleece jacket and some lunch. A three-in-one bag that won't set you back a fortune -- what more could a college photographer want? An iPod headphone pass-through? Sorry, but Tamrac had to skip that convenience in order to keep the Adventure 9 weatherproof. About $125.

Crumpler Brazillion Dollar Home

Its name may be silly, but this messenger-style shoulder bag is all business. It's big enough to squeeze a 17-inch MacBook Pro into the laptop compartment and a pro D-LSR (or two) with plenty of lenses in the main space. The interior is colored bright orange, for easy identification and retrieval of the item you're looking for. Under the velcroed front flap are lots of tiny pockets for CF cards and batteries -- one side red and one side green for keeping track. The Brazillion Dollar Home is a stylish but sensible place for your expensive gear to live. About $280.
