Camera "Bag" for Beginners?

I'm just graduating from point and shoot with a Sony NEX-5. I want to bring the camera with me as much as possible, and it seems like the easiest way to do that is a camera "bag" with all my current equipment in it, that I can put into whatever bag I'm running out the door with. I'm thinking right now that'll be NEX body w/ 18-55 on it, 50mm prime w/ adapter, extra battery, extra memory card.

I'm considering this:

Any thoughts pro or con? Thanks in advance!

There is some more information on this page from Crumpler's home site (Crumpler is an Australian company):

It looks as if the Haven (s) it will take all your current equipment, but you might want to consider whether you will be buying more equipment in the future.

I also suggest that you check the external dimensions ("Sizing" tab for each bag) to see which of your bags it will fit into.

Personally I don't find that a "one size fits all" policy works for me and I have different sized bags for different situations.

+1. I have a pouch for just my camera with lens attached for when I will not be changing lenses, a bag for all my lenses plus filters and flash for when I won't be covering a lot of ground, but want maximum flexibility in my available equiment, and a backpack for my laptop plus camera and lenses when I fly with my equipment.

Somebody on these forums made me feel much better when he said that you are not a true professional until you have more bags than lenses.

I am up to 6 bags (7 lenses) at the moment but don't have room for any more!

Personally I just went to the "backpack" so that if/when I do want to have everything with me, it's easier to grab, go and carry. There are many price levels. Example search on Amazon below and a direct link to the one I recently bought because I wanted to be able to carry my laptop at the same time...

Thanks to all for the input... I'll look at your suggestions and give up on the idea of "one bag to fit all situations." Sounds like that might be a newbie fantasy.

Look into this site for options by styles, sizes and brands..........

My first camera bag!

It's a Think Tank Lens Changer 50 bag ($28 bucks), and it's big enough to hold my Nex-5 with the 18-55, as well as a second lens in a neoprene beer can cooler. It seems plenty padded to me, and I've got an extra battery and memory card in the outside mesh pocket. It's also small enough to fit into most of my grab & go bags, so it's left the house with me every day for the last four days. It's worked out well!
