What are the pros/cons of using a camera bag or a camera backpack? In conjuction with tripod case?

I have a sling-over-the-back tripod case for when I go on photographic expeditions. But now that I have additional lenses I need to get a bag or case or something for the camera and the lenses. My concern is lugging all that around. With a tripod case a camera backpack seems out of the question.

kata do some great camera backpacks

theyve got individual sections, and there’s enough room for a camera, extra battery, wide angle lense, super zoom lense, and a laptop. and other compartments for other bits and pieces. (well that’s what ive got in mine)
they’ve also got straps to take the weight off your shoulders, so if your carrying it around for long periods of time you don’t become achy.
they’ve also got a really handy way of getting your camera out of the bag quickly so you can catch the shot it time. there’s also a strap so you can slide in your tripod.
they’re really good, but i’d advise to get the bigger one, even if you think you won’t need it, with all the lenses in all the space will be gone before you know it.

hope this helps.
