They are much easier to carry a lot of gear than a shoulder bag. It is, however, more difficult to get to the gear when needed. I switched to a backpack when I got the 200-500 F4. It wouldn't fit in my shoulder bag. I now have two bodies, the 200-500, 105 micro, the 24-70 F4, as well as a flash and other assorted small gear and supplies. If all I was going to carry was one body and one or two lenes, I would probably opt for a shoulder bag. Unfortunately, all the advise in the world isn't worth much compared to using one for a couple trips out. I would say to get something large enough that you can fit your next purchase or two. I could shoehorn one more smaller lens into my current backpack. anything beyond that, and something has to be left at home.</blockquote>
