Exactly! A little creepy that we so often come up with the same 
solutions, no?

At least we differ here, as I don't do those things.  :-)   The Canon 
bag is strictly for transport. I use a LowePro PhotoRunner when out 
tromping about. It works with good shoulder strap or hideaway belt as 
fanny/spare tire pack. I have carried an OM-4 with zoom and two other 
lenses in it, but generally the camera is around my neck or in my hand 
and the PhotoRunner carries up lenses and accessories.

My backpack is often in a car trunk, mine or rented.

The PhotoRunner, and I assume similar bags, is good for that and also 
for longer jaunts.
