My next camera will be an Olympus OM-D EM-5. I'm going to get it with the bundled 12-50mm kit lens, which I could probably sell for a profit if I decide I don't want it. I will definitely be getting the 75mm f1.8 lens. After that, I'm not sure. I'm considering:

Finally, I'm considering a Tom Bihn Co-Pilot (possibly with an insert) as a dedicated bag:
