We spent the last 10 months out of the USA, and have discovered that airlines are getting really desperate to force people to check bags. So, having a carryon sized bag is no longer a guarantee of being able to carry on. So, we're switching strategies.
Now I have a small daypack (20L actually) that I'd like to convert to a camera bag, at least part-time, by putting an insert into it.
I did find the Crumpler Haven, and I might buy that, not sure about the fit. Hard to know without trying in person.
The backpack isn't an actual rectangle, so eyeballing it I get: 9" x 4.5" x 6-8" high.
With a ruler, I get: 12" x 4" x 9.5" (max height)
Or 10" x 6" x 9.5"

I'm starting this thread, figuring some of you who use shoulder bags might be using one with a modular system where you can swap out the internal configuration based on your kit.
I'd like to store an NEX-5 (possibly NEX-7 in the future) the 18-200 (possibly on the camera) and the new 50mm f1.8 lens, along with the flash, and our 4 spare batteries, all in this one compartment. The haven appears very close.
I've just started looking though, so I'll update the thread as I find stuff.
Thanks for any recommendations in advance as well.
