Camera Savvy Niners

I have a question about camera bags.  I need one that will fit my DSLR and 4 lenses, plus a speedlite. 

I just ordered lens #3 (a telephoto) and we intend on having all of these items within the next year- plus random accessories, but I need a new bag now, as mine only has space for the body + 2 lenses.

Any recommendations?  Bonus points for not being ultra girly since I'd like H to be able to carry it too, and I'd prefer that it be functional over stylish, but really don't want an ultrautilitarian piece either.

I use a Jill-E large rolling satchel. I have what you have as far as gear, but 2 additianal flashes and a battery pack. I love my bag! I love that it has a handle and wheels. Very easy to get into-lots of pockets. They go for $300ish.

A friend if mine has one that she designed on etsy. She was able to tell the girl what she needed to fit in it and pick the fabric for it.

We have a big case like this (but I think ours is a bit bigger - I think we can fit 4 lenses in there) for when we want to carry everything, and then a smaller case like this (but a bit studier) for just the camera/lens. I don't love our larger case, but it suits the purpose. If we were going to do a lot of traveling, I would get something like what Kristen has.

I have this one. I LOVE it. I also have another smaller one that holds just the body and one lens, but I usually just carry this backpack everywhere.

The compartments are movable so you can make them fit however you need them to. It doesn't hurt that it's inexpensive either.

That is actually the one I was looking at...  Good to hear an in person review of someone who is highly satisfied.

We have a smaller one we really like for smaller trips or things where we won't need all of the lenses- but with the new huge lens we just need a bigger case for everything.

I have the Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home and I love it.  I like it a lot but it definitely isn't big enough for all my lenses and other accessories.  I am able to comfortably fit my camera and 2 lenses/speedlite.

 From the reviews it seems the 6 Million Dollar Home can hold a lot more.  I would probably get that if I could re-choose my bag.  I am thinking of getting the Shootsac to be able to have more lenses easily accessible but that is more for carrying them on the go.

The backpack one Michelle posted also looks great!
