Trying to find something that will fit the camera and a couple extra lense. The wife likes the sling packs but definately want back pack style at least.

 

Looked at a bunch read some reviews. Would like to see what other people think as well.

 

Trying to stay under 65 dollars.

I have this and love it.. Its a bit above what you asked for, but so far its been my favorite bag. Personally after having some nicer bags for my gear now, (even if they still arent top grade), i dont think i could buy a basic bag for my gear again.

The Tenba Messenger Mini - This thing has a bazillion pockets, room for body with 24-70mm on, and at least 3 lenses. I use the laptop pouch inside for my flash and gary fong and my netbook.

I have also this, but its too much for me now that i dont use the big laptop anymore.

Im considering selling it, but again, its a bit over your budget.

biggests, best bags for the money are the "Canon" brand backpacks and shoulder bags.

wish i would have known about them when I bought my tamrac backpack, but I was a noob. the one i have fits only 5 lenses, 40D+grip and 5dmkii + grip and it cost twice as much as a larger Canon backpack.

 

I did however learn my lesson and buy a canon shoulder bag to carry my speedlites. I carry 5 of them + cables, batteries, etc in it and still have room for more stuff.

I just picked up a Lowepro Flipside 300 a month ago. Love it so far. It has the opening on your back, which is nice because less likely for stuff to fall out and a lot harder for someone to steal stuff out of your bag. Supposedly if you have the waist clip on you can just hang it in front of you and get in to get your stuff without having to 'take it off' but I am not that coordinated. The safety part of it was more important to me than the quick access. also the backpack is nicer for hikes and it has the tripod holder.

I have several. The Canon backpack is my standard carry. I also have some LowePro models and carry the smallest size with minimal gear possible. Costs are higher on the better ones, but they tend to be worth it. Be aware of weatherproofing too. Nothing like getting caught in the rain with a bag that isn't weatherproof.

I carry a target grocery bag everywhere I go for weatherproofing :D

Lowepro Slingshot AW200....AW stands for 'all weather' because it has a rain jacket that is attached to the bag that covers it and repels the rain. I've taken mine to many Formula 1 and other races (Mid-Ohio this past weekend) and it works great. You can wear it, and then 'sling' it around in front of you for easy access to the pocket.

 

They make a couple other ones that are larger too, if you think this is too small.

 

Would reccommend this 100 times over.

Rain cover storage (it is permanently attached to the bag):
