Travel Photography - Anyone used a RedOxx Gator as an SLR bag?
RedOxx advertises their Gator bag as one that is useful as an SLR bag and the measurements are interesting for that purpose.
Has anyone used it as such?
Also, based on the 12/6/9 measurements, do we think that 2 SLR bodies (30D + EOS Elan 7N) with 18-55 and 50 mm attached, respectively, plus a 75-300 in a lens pouch will fit safely?

I think the Gator bag would be too small. I have used it for a camera bag, but only with a D70s and two lenses. For dedicated camera bags, I use either a Think Tank Urban Disguise 50 (with laptop) or a Domke F2 when traveling without a laptop. Both are big enough for two SLRs and four lenses and a flash, but are not huge bags.

Interestingly, this blog makes me think it is not just possible, but comfortable.

I think that, in the article, there is one SLR and 3 lenses. 2 SLRs with multiple lenses would be more difficult, especially if getting things in/out easily is a consideration. A slightly larger bag would improve access.
