Impetuous - man that's an understatement to say the least - you can add to that impulsive. You ask for any feedback at 1721 hrs and then advise you've ordered it at 1748 hrs.

In fact I've got the Tamrac 5550 Expedition 10 rucksack (http://www.tamrac.com/welcome.htm) which comfortably fits all of my equipment in. Fair to say it spends 95% of it's life in the cupboard but I do in fact carry it around from time to time when in the mountains when the distance to be carried isn't too great i.e. less than 10km. It's probably one of the most comfortable bags I've ever had to carry. The Slingshot 200 I use for longer hikes or when I'm only taking the camera and probably a couple of extra lenses and small items. On these occasions someone else is carrying the lunch etc.

Remote control - you'll love it. Anyway, shouldn't you be posting the weekend Poll?

If you want an all weather bag then go for the Lowepro Dryzone 100. It carries my Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 VR plus 2x converter attached to the D3 camera plus Nikon 300mm F4 or Bigma 50-500mm F4-6.3 and 14-24m F2.8 or 24-70mm F2.8 and 50mm F1.4. It will keep your kit bone dry even if dropped in a river/lake if the inner zip is used. In the rain I don't usually use the inner zip unless it's a very heavy downpour. I've had mine about five years or so now and it's the one I use most often.

I have had the 350 for a few months now, and now looking to replace it. I need a bag that takes a tripod, if you don'y need a tripod its a good move in my opinion.

Lowepro 400 allweather .........has tripod carrier that takes my Manfrotto.
Canon 50 d 100 to 400 canon, sigma 10 to 22 ,Canon 100mm .Canon flash.Filters batteries and all other bits and bobs.

Then can also stick a waterproof and some sandwiches in the top section.I find it ideal and very comfortable
