As of a year ago, I'm thoroughly convinced the best camera bag on the market was the Tamrac Velocity 9x. I never thought much of Tamrac, but I spent hours hauling my gear to stores, packing them up and trying them on in preparation for two weeks in the Galapagos.

The Tamrac slides perfectly around, so that it hangs in front of you for loading and unloading, and slides back behind you for walking. It holds a huge amount, I easily pack in a 70-200mm f2.8, a body, a 10-22mm, a 17-85 and a speedlight. The best part is that I can have the body on any of the lenses and still put it in the bag. In just about every other bag configuration, the lens has to be on the 70-200.

Yeah, it's not a Crumpler in build quality or looks (and I checked out all of their bags at the time), but the design in simply better than anything else out there.
