I'll also be going to Europe in the summer and will need a camera bag.
I currently have a soft bag with adjustable (velcro (TM)) pockets, but
it's a real hassle putting things in it and getting them out.  I would
like an aluminium case for speed, but I don't want a suitcase style
one --- it should be something with a shoulder strap.  The only one
I've seen is a Canon bag in the brochure that came with the camera,
but I have no idea of its cost or quality.  Can anyone recommend a
case like the one I'm describing, or maybe give me more info on the
canon case, or anything?  I'm sure these things exist, because there
were many people carrying them around at the Montreal Grand Prix last
summer...

What I'll want to carry around is a body, a 50/1.8, a 28-55/3.5, a
70-150/4.5, a 300/5.6, a 2x multiplier and a Canon 199A flash, not to
mention assorted film and filters.  I'll be doing probably 50-50
action and architechture/scenery, so I'd want something that's easy to
carry around as well as fast to open and change lenses.

Thanks very much...
