I have more bags than I can count on two hands, but the ones I use:

- everyday bag -
Billingham L2.
One body fitted with a lens, one/two more lenses (wide to modest tele size),
plenty of room for other "stuff" in the front pocket. Kinda pricey ... Mine
cost me $153 ordered from the UK, which was $50 less than in the States.

- larger everyday bag -
Tamrac Superlight 5
Similar in footprint to the Superlight 5, but taller. Can handle body with
one lens and up to 3 more lenses, or two bodies each fitted with a lens.
Plenty of room for other stuff, and can take Tamrac and Lowepro accessory
pouches. Inexpensive at $35, very good quality.

- larger everyday bag -
Domke F803 Camera Satchel
Easily carry 1 body fitted with long lens, two bodies each with a short
lens, and up to four additional lenses. Non-traditional, "briefcase" look,
very comfortable to carry lots of stuff. A favorite for travel.
  or
Domke F6 Little Bit Smaller
Two bodies fitted with lenses, 3-4 additional lenses, lots of extra stuff.

- travel case -
Lowepro CompuTrekker backpack
Pelican 1710 rollaway hard case
Either of these two will carry more gear than I own or ever want to carry.
Too big/bulky/heavy for me to want to use other than when schlepping stuff
in the car or on a plane.
