I use the Chineese "copy" of the Slingshot 102AW (amazon £30). It holds my 550D+18-135mm and a 70-300 and a WAZ no problems. It has plenty of padding and there is a top compartment with loads of room for a flash, a nifty 50 and a few filters. Also has a rain cover and seems pretty well built. Only gripes are the "sling shot" across the body strap. It gets tangled when you are shooting handheld with the camera strap around your neck or whilst wearing a hooded top/jacket. Also it is not very convenient when you just want to pick the sack up and move a short distance as you cannot just sling it over one shoulder like a normal rucksack. Also no attachment for a tripod (though I think the lowepro version does). For light "from the car to the scene" or wandering around a landmark its grand but for carrying any distance I'd get a 2 strapped sack. I've noticed amazon have a few deals on lowepro bags at the mo.
