Camera Bag Question to fellow travellers

Im running with the Sony Nex setup recommended by Tynan. Now it seems all camera bag solutions are either very poor quality or a bad fit for travel (too big for various reasons). Now this goes out to everyone that owns a 4/3 mirorless camera: Which bag did you choose? In short it should look awesome, fit the camera with attached lens and provide reasonable protection.

I just throw mine in a pocket of my backpack that doesn't have anything that could damage the camera. I used to use an eagle creek packing cube, but I didn't like the additional layer of unpacking that I had to do before taking photos.

The most space efficient case I've seen is one specifically designed by Sony for the NEX. With that said, I own one and I'm thinking of dumping it. A few reasons include, it was way overpriced for the quality, it's cumbersome to work with, and you're supposed to use the dorky strap to hold the bottom piece on (I used a couple zip ties). This is a half cover thing which has to be on the camera in order for the rest of case to attach. This part adds a good bit of bulk and is a pain to take off when you need to charge/change the battery. I'm strongly considering going with Tynan's method of just stashing it in a pocket and trusting myself not to drop or toss my bag around.

How To Pack Everything You Own in a 28L Bag

People keep asking for it and I keep meaning to do it, but then we always seem to be in a rush before leaving a country and we don't have time to video me packing my bag.

Japan was a little different, so we finally got it done. Unfortunately Todd's real video camera is broken now and this was taken on his point and shoot, which cuts off at about 10 minutes.

That means that you'll miss the glory of me repacking that one last thing in there. Actually, after packing I realized that I had forgotten my sandals so I repacked the whole thing anyway.

The 2010 Travel Gear Post

Now it's time for the one post that everyone's been waiting for. The 2010 Gear Post.

For a quick background: my method is to have very few items, all of which are as small as possible and as awesome as possible. The goal is to have a tiny bag but be prepared for absolutely everything. This year I've gotten closer to that ideal than ever before. You can see my 2009 packing list here to compare.
