What camera bag do you use to lug around your equipment?

My main bag is a billingham Hadley Pro
 
I have 3 Tamrac bags 1 backpack and 2 shoulder bags. When I travel I carry the backpack cruises and tours, it contains 24, 50 and 70 - 300 mm lens along with cleaning supplies and 1.4 TC along with other items. The one shoulder bag is used to for trips by auto.
 
I try not to carry toooo much stuff with me when I go out, and so have a couple of different bags to reflect what I'm carrying.

1) Lowepro 202AW Slingshot
2) Lowepro 16L Hatchback
3) Crumpler 6million dollar bag
4) Regular leather satchel
5) Promaster L500 - This keeps the majority of my gear in it at home, or if headed on a road trip.

Today, carrying the 16L as I just have a body and 1 lens, but am not planning to shoot anything, so using today to transport books and lunch :)
 
I have two bags. One is a backpack that I use for traveling as it can hold all my crap and laptop. I have a sling bag that I use for day to day.

The backpack is nice for storage but a pain in the ass to access. The sling is great for quick access but only has room for a few extra lenses.

Runnah - that is what is cool about this backpack, works like a sling because if you just slip out one arm, then you can access the camera compartment. It is a huge space that comes with dividers so you can arrange how you see fit.

I like the hip strap also, so that you can carry the weight on your hips if your shoulders get tired; added bonus are the two zipper compartments on the actual hip straps. I tend to pack my wife's things too so that she can leave her purse if she wants. Hydration capability is a plus (especially in countries where the water is questionable.)

The entire pack is water resistant, but comes with the all-weather cover in case of downpours. I haven't found myself using it very often, I think only one time in the past two years with my slingshot bag. Last big highlight of the backpack is the fact that you can take the camera compartment out of the bag if you want, and can use it as a protective case in another bag if you ever wanted to.
