<p>Like most shutterbugs, I've got a slew of camera bags/cases. Ranging from suitcase-sized hard cases to solo-camera pouches. I pretty much have a bag for most situations.<br /><br />I've recently done two back-to-back trips where the Philippines was a part of my trip. For these trips I could only take one body, a 16-35 2.8L, 75-200 2.8L, 480EZ flash, a tripod and accessories (cables, remote, batteries, etc), For me, I took my Lowepro Flipside 300 and it was perfect. I love this bag as it holds my gear perfectly (maybe a BIT tight if I carry the lens hoods). But most of all, because of the way you use the hip-strap and spin the bag around to the front (you access the bag from the BACK of the bag, which is unique) you never have to put the bag down! It conveniently lays out in front of you like a little work station. For ANY photographer this is GREAT! Don't have to worry about your gear laying on the ground getting dirty and your stuff is always in front of you so its easier to keep an eye on. And the fact the bag is accessed from the BACK of bag (the side against your back) its a bit more secure as you're walking through town.<br /><br />I highly recommend the Flipside series.<br /><br />Have a GREAT trip. PI is fantastic and the people are extremely friendly. And MAN can they ever EAT!!! I hope you like PORK! And practice eating with a fork and spoon, sir. :)<br /><br />P.S. Be careful in the Philippines. Some areas are notorious for pickpockets or outright muggings. And ANY camera bag, regardless of how "inconspicuous" it may be, is like a BEACON to thieves.</p>
