Digital SLR Camera Bag Reccomendations (Lowepro slingshot?)?

Question

Hello there,

I'm looking for a bag to take my DSLR on holday with. I dont consider myself a pro photographer but do carry some bits and pieces. Planning to take my 400D SLR with 28-135 IS lens, chargers, cables and a couple of other lenses with me.

The lowepro slingshot (looking at the 200 and 300) seem to be ace bags and easy to live with and also have a space for additional bits and pieces (non camera related, suntan cream etc etc) but was wondering if anyone else had any good reccomendations for maybe a little less money.

Critical to have space for the above mentioned kit but also need space for other non camera related parephenalia.

any thoughts?

Excellent choice. I have one and I love it.
What sets Lowepro apart from other manufacturers is that they really know photographers. They make the compartments easy to rearrange, because you don't always load up your bag with the same lenses and gadgets; they make it easy to grab your camera out of the bag for that "I can't miss this shot" opportunity without fear of your other gear falling out of the bag, and they have built-in raincoats because when it starts to rain, protecting your camera becomes the most important thing in your life.
I'd think twice about putting suntan cream in the same bag as your camera... wrap it in plastic and put it in a compartment well away from the camera.
