I have 1 of each. They both get the job done & hold up well.

Ditto that. My personal opinion tho- I always favored Tamrac's for larger shoulder SLR bags with 2+bodies and many lenses, and LowePro's for Backpack style and smaller P&S bags. I just always liked the respective designs better. :)

If you can, go to a local photo store (preferably not a chain) and play with them as there should be examples of all makes and models.

I have a 12-year-old Tamrac shoulder bag (one camera, lenses, flash) that has held up really well. Bag design has come a long way, though, and I also have a Lowepro Stealth Reporter 550 AW (small laptop, two cameras, up to five lenses, accessories). I like them both.

There are a lot of neat bags out there, though, depending on what style you're looking for.
