Big or small?

Canon makes a semi rigid case, but it pretty much only hold the camera and a small lens that's attached to the camera.

I have this case for my XTi, I like it a lot.

I have been beating the hell out of one of these for over 2 years...

I can carry in it my 30d/10d/17-40/70-200/420ex and still have plenty of room to spare..

Amazon.com: Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras: Electronics

For 43 dollars it's hard to beat..

The backpack angle is nice as well. Mine's more of a messenger bag setup.

I'm pretty happy with the Tamrac line of camera bags. I have an Expedition 3. Works well with my Canon EOS, 28 - 135, 300mm, t-mount and telescope adapter.

I highly recommend Domke bags.

I've always used a Domke bag (the original F-2). They come in a variety of sizes. One that might work for you is the Domke F-6 Little Bit Smaller bag.

My preferred cases, although they're not pretty, are the Pelican hard cases... I have the 1450 (insanely huge). Completely impossible to destroy...

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

i bought the same camera 2 weeks ago. If you have a notebook (even if you don't) this one is great. holds a camcorder, an SLR, an iPod, a cell phone and a notebook

i know its not good to have all your stuff in one bag, but it looks awsome.

I carry all my gear in my Domke bag (D2h body, multiple lenses, flash + misc.). The Domke bag comes with this padded insert.
