I have had my FZ20 since mid-December and have taken over 3000 pictures. Every time that I use it I realize what a great camera it is. My collection of accessories continues to grow and I take this camera on hiking trips, so I really need a backpack to carry everything in.

Items to be carried include . . .
1) Spare battery and charger
2) Two 512MB SD cards
3) Raynox adapter
4) UV filter
5) Circular polarizer
6) B+W ND64 filter
7) Hoya ND8 filter
8) Set of 4 macro lenses (+1,+2,+4,+10)
9) Sunpak 383 flash
10) 52mm wide angle lens (to be purchased soon)
11) 52mm telephoto(to be purchased soon)

Additionally would like to be able to carry the camera with Raynox adapter attached and would be nice to have means to carry tripod on backback if at all possible (keep hands free for hanging on! :D )

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance . . .

I use this one and it may leave you with a little room to grow into.

I tried a small lowepro and it was too small I tried the dryzone 200 and it was way too big but good for hiking. So I went with this one that just came out from tamrac.

I went with the 5575

I saw a guy at NY airport with a camera back-pack which had a hard case top with a soft-case bottom. I guess the hard case top allows it to be stowed in bins with no risk of other objects casuing an accidental impact and thereby causing the camera screens/lens to shatter. Does anyone know what sort of a bag may have a hard case top? A back-pack!

I'm a huge fan of M-Rock bags (they're a fairly new company, specializing in digital bags). They come in sizes from small to huge, and nearly every one comes with all the accessories to convert them from shoulder bag to back-pack. http://www.m-rock.com/wasatch.html - this is the largest one they sell, it's actually a back-pack. Give it a look - I did a lot of comparison shopping before I bought my two bags, and I think M-Rock makes some of the best bags on the market.
