I like both of them equally

It depends on whether you want a shoulder bag or a backpack type. Personally, I HATE shoulder type bags, but that's more because of how and what I shoot than anything. Lots of people like them.

I have both, For the gear that you have the dg is fine. If you buy the XTi kit, youll get the bag, a UV filter, and an extra battery for the XTi. should be < $100.

Either is fine, its something you have to pick for yourself really - shoulder or backpack.

I use shoulder bags a lot, but for carrying a lot of gear or wandering longer distances the backpacks are much nicer. A disadvantage of most backpacks compared to shoulder bags is it's hard to have quick access to anything in them generally without taking them off.

all i have to say is: texas weather+backpack=sweatiest back ever.

Hell here in the summer it's the same thing. And a shoulder bag means sweatiest diagonal stripe across shoulder and chest ever

We picked ours up for $75, although the weird part is there super hard to find.

^ yep

I voted shoulder since I use 3 shoulder bags and haven't yet found a backpack I like...
