I'm looking for a bag. You know, something to put stuff in. I have too much stuff, and I want it with me all the time. So, it only makes sense that I would spend more money on a bag to hold the stuff that I shouldn't have spent money on in the first place.

I'm looking for something that can be worn over one shoulder or, for those longer treks, as a back pack. I'm hoping that'll it'll be casual and durable enough that I can take it anywhere, yet stylish enough that I can drag it to work without looking like a tool.

It must have enough space and padding to hold a digital SLR and a few lenses. Additionally, I'll want room for maps, notebooks, reading books, cds, cables, etc, etc. Unfortunately, most of the bags I've seen fall into one of three categories.

a) It's a camera bag. It holds camera stuff plus a few extra things. There isn't really a place to put anything large that isn't a camera.

b) It's not a camera bag and therefore has no accomodations for a camera. In order to carry a camera, you just throw it in the bag like everything else and hope that you can find it and that it's not being smashed to death by the copy of the OED and your hiking boots that you're also carrying.

c) It's both a camera bag and storage bag. Everything is well laid out. There's plenty of room for all of my stuff. BUt, it's only a backpack, has way too many straps and clamps to help you hold the weight that only get in the way when not in use, and it wears awkwardly over one shoulder.

So… do you have any suggestions. I'm hoping to stay under $150. I'd prefer that it be something I can buy locally so I can go touch it and play with it and make sure it's going to work before buying. Thanks, in advance.
