    Your going to put a camera in their? If so it looks like a good choice, well I would double check actually since DSLR sizes vary greatly and then you have to consider lens space, what do you have?

    Your laptop should fit fine, its thin.

    edit* They have a camera compatibilty chart, seems like most DSLR's will fit minus the large professional cameras like the Canon EOS 1D series or Nikon D3,2,1 series.

    Oly e510. It's pretty small as far as dSLRs go. A heck of a lot smaller than that Canon in the pics. I wouldn't need to carry my entire kit with me daily, and I have other camera-only bags for when I do want that - I just want to be able to have my camera and a lens or two in case a photo op comes up. When traveling, though, I'd like to be able to have something to put all my expensive gear in and keep with me as a carry-on, without having to carry a laptop bag and a camera bag.

    Edit - btw, I wouldn't be carrying my personal W3j daily. My work LT is a T42, but it's still fairly thin. When traveling, I may need to take both laptops (depending on if it's business or not).

    I usually look at Tamrac and LowePro before branching out to other brands based on prior satisfying experiences.

    I second the LowePro. They make excellent bags and have some that are designed for DSLRs and Laptops (together).

    I like my older bags from Tamrac and modular gear from LowePro, and I intermix the two.
