Good points, thank you. Will need some thinking.
Not sure how much need I have for putting the camera away all the time. Tbh I can't really say as I've never had a shoulder bag, I've always used a backpack. It might be one of those things that you can't live without after trying it
Been talking to Jason @ Bigxtop as well this morning about a custom version of the daysack. It has the dual potential of both awesome and £££

I think so. It's very very convenient.
It also fucks up your back if you're not husky and carry several kg of gear for years always over the same shoulder so make it a habit to switch sides (or go to the gym) !I always thought about getting just a very nice bag I like and put a base and padded insert there like this
..so I can have my very own custom bag (that also doesn't look like a camera bag), but then just got a used F-2 for a very good price and so I just use this.
I think if I were you I would also watch this auction -

Yea Rucksacks are nice but the thing is basically you always have to strip it off and put it on the ground to get something out of it or put something in it, which gets really really annoying.
Well it of course depends on how often you change lenses etc. or how often you want to put the camera away.
I change lenses quite a lot as I mostly shoot primes, also I put my camera in the bag / often, so I don't have to hold it in my hand and sometimes to "hide" it.
All this in-and-out business works really perfectly with the F series of Domke, hence the majority of photojournalists are using them.
Also they don't look like camera bags which is a good thing.
