Thats a bargain for a very nice bag indeed. I have to admit the 4 is a bit restrictive, now I have the 100-400 but a nice comfy bag for hiking with and plenty of compartments for accessories

i havent yet bought myself a bag so perhaps a little naive but unless you get one with a dedicated non-camera section (eg. the orion trekker) where do you stash your grub and extra clothing?

i generally leave the grub and extra clothing in the car - but if i am walking a longway then i would have my grub, tent, clothes, stove etc in the bergen - probably with my spare camera bodies, batteries and downloader and have the camera in my hands and a couple of spare lenses on a street and field belt round my waist.

Most of my kit goes overseas with me. I pack the cameras and lenses into a Peli 1500 and a Nova 5 goes into my hold luggage empty. At the other end, I pack the cameras into the Nova 5 with the lenses fitted ready for action. This bag will take my 5D, 350D and EOS 300. I can always hang an S7000 around my neck.

Get a bag which is big enough for your kit, but not too big, otherwise you will tend to fill it up and a big bag full of kit gets very heavy. A back pack is a very handy system.
