Folks.

I am looking for a backpack that will hold a FX1E securely + my Nikon D80 + 1 lens

The contraints are that it must be small enough to travel as carry on

Can anyone suggest any make and models ....

thanks ....

I have been using a Petrol backpack for my FX1 that could also hold a camera body and lens. There are a couple styles that fit the FX1 and this is one of the older ones, but still sold. I would recommend checking their website.

Thanks guys.

I ended up with the Lowepro Vertex 200. Fits the fx1e and my D80 + lens.
Also enough room for a 15inch laptop and cables, unfort. mine is 17inch ...
yet it is compact enough for carry on .... so i was pleased to find it ...

Only had to visit 3 different camera stores ....
