Cam/laptop travel bag
I'm possibly going on a 3-week trip to Ireland next June, so of course I want to take my Rebel XT, a lens or two, and a laptop. I have a Crumpler 'Customary Barge', but I think it is too large for the space it has, and is too hard to get the camera out of, for me to take it on this trip.
So, I want to find a bag that will hold this:
12" iBook
Rebel XT
18-125 Sigma
70mm Canon
iPod
associated cables
rain jacket
some random other travel stuff that I'll discover I need
I like the styling of the Lowepro Slingshot 200, seems like that would be easy to get into, but it won't hold a laptop, or much of anything else.
If you guys know of any fairly compact bags that are fast to get into, please recommend them; I like to start my research early so I don't end up rushing to get a cr*ppy bag a week before the trip.
Thanks!

I just bought myself a Computrekker AW. It's a backpack style bag, so it's not really easy to get into, in a hurry. However, it has a padded space for a lap top, a nice sized camera gear area (with padded & customizable dividers) and a separate compartment for other gear like lunch, jacket etc.
Also, the AW is for All Weather, so the fabric is water resistant and it has a pull out rain cover.
It was actually cheaper than similar bags that did not have the laptop compartment.
Another option that you may want to look in to is the Chestvest (often used by photojournalists) - http://www.newswear.com/index.html

The type of trip I'm going on is a semi-guided tour, with more than a bit of it involving riding on a tour bus, and then walking through villages and whatnot. Therefore, I need to be able to pull out my camera without taking a backpack off, setting it down, and unzipping the whole thing, as I have to do with mine now.
So: Does anyone know of a larger sling-type bag, where you can just pull it under your arm, so the bag goes from being on your back to under your arm where I can get at the stuff in it. Example: http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Sling_Bags/Designed_for_Digital/SlingShot_200_AW.aspx
