I have the Canon 200EG. It is about $40. I bought it because I wanted a quick backpack that was inexpensive for my 30D. I did not realize that it was going to last 4 or 5 years. Empty, the bag weighs ounces, it is very lightweight. Now I carry a 5DII attached to a 70-200mm, along with it I pack a 100-400mm, 24-70mm and a 17-40mm. Full, it is heavy ! It fits under the seat in front of you when you fly. I use it as my carry-on and put my cell phone, wallet, and iPod. It has pockets galore for a chargers, extra batteries, filters, memory cards. It even has a draw string where you can stuff a light jacket. For flash photography I have to carry a Speedlite. So if I want all my lenses I can fit it in one of the pockets or I just fold it down and put it where the wide angle usually lives. Overall I have been very happy with it; it has been durable and protective even at the beach and in the rain. I have only 1 complaint, one of the zipper handles broke off so now I only have one zipper (its like a suit case, you can zip it from both ends of the zipper). This happened after about 3 years. You can spend whatever you want on bags. Some would argue that if you are carrying $5000+ worth of photo gear you should not trust it with a $40 bag but I have been pleased and have never noticed any damage to my stuff.
Good luck !
