I'm going to get the FS-700 when it comes out and I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good backpack (NOT a shoulder bag) for it? I would need a backpack for sure since I shoot on the fly a lot, and also it would have to work as an airplane carryon, so probably a medium sized backpack. This would serve as my on-the-go backpack.

I have a large LowePro which I use for all my lenses and would probably fit the FS700, but it's a bit too large to be an on-the-go type backpack

Thanks for any info.

Portabrace has a new soft backpack coming out. I fondled it at NAB but couldn't get the rep to sell it to me.
 
I've been travelling with an FS100 plus 4 lenses, EVF, batts and bits in a ThinkTank Airport Acceleration v2, and my EX1R kit lives in its own Airport Acceleration v1. Both have space for my 17" laptop and a couple of hard drives, and both fit in overhead bins on all airlines.

They look smart but not 'TVish' (not drawing too much attention), are very comfortable, and my older v1 bag hasn't shown any signs of dilapidation in the many years of its service (gosh, four years?) despite lugging upwards of 17 Kg of gear at times.

Daniel Chung (http://www.dslrnewsshooter.com/) recommended them, and I've been a fan ever since. Highly recommended.

Ah, just seen that ThinkTank have changed, or are changing, their range - take your pick from here: http://www.thinktankphoto.com/categories/camera-backpacks/airport-backpacks.aspx
 
I was recommended the Airport Acceleration V2.0 here and on other pages, and have owned one for 6 months - ideal backpack, although its easy to go overweight for airline hand baggage with my FS100, 5 lenses, audio kit and base plate/rods.
