I have the slingshot 200 AW, not suitable for your purposes but I love it for what I needed it for.

I agree with Mike on the Lowepro range. They are superb. I have 2 Lowepro AW backpacks for different purposes. I can't fault either of them in any way.
I have a Mini-Trekker AW

Which is small and light and ideally suited for airline travel. But still holds a lot of camera gear.
I also have a Computrekker Plus AW which is a much bigger heavier bag which holds lots of everything including my 17" Acer laptop. I wouldn't fancy the Kokoda Trail with it.

For hiking and photography, I would choose something in between those 2. maybe the Rover AW or the Computrekker standard or the Naturetrekker.

I like the Lowepro stuff way better than the Tamrac. Lowepro has an unconditional lifetime warranty. They wouldn't give that if it wasn't top quality.
