After purchasing a Canon 40D, 3 lenses and a 580 speedlight - and combining this with my existing two lenses and a Canon 300D camera body and a 420EX speedlight - my canvas and back pack bags were a non-starter.
Pelican sells to the US Army - among others - and weve shipped goods that survived fork lift prong holes in the case with Pelican - but not with others. The 1510 can carry all my stuff in waterproof and dust proof protection - fit in an overhead airline bin and have wheels and an extended handle that make dragging it around easier than anything Ive tried yet.
The model comes without padding - with foam padding you can "pluck" to fit - or my choice - the most costly - padded insert. For space management and reasonable internal protection - this is the way to go. It allows for change of your equipment by simply adjusting the velcro dividers. No wasted space. Everything safe and secure. Pelican will sell you TSA approved locks as an aftermarket choice. Something to consider if you travel and want to secure your rig from the luggage gorillas and still meet the approval of the TSA.
Lifetime replacement guarantee from Pelican.
Make sure you specify and confirm the EXACT type of insert you desire. The only drawback with this case... its getting crowded in there and the next larger size goes in with the stored luggage in the airplane hold... no way...

If you want your camera or other electronics to stay dry and dust free this is the case. It is a bit bulky, but it does fit into an overhead airline compartment. It has wheels, which makes it easy to haul around.
