This is the part where I pat myself on the back for my packing prowess. I have a new smaller carry-on bag that will fit in the overhead of smaller planes, and is less bulky to carry - downside is no wheels. It looks more like a briefcase than a photo bag or a backpack, although it does have hidden shoulder straps, just in case. When I loaded it up, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much gear was squeezed in the shallow main compartment - easy to access:
Olympus camera body and lenses, lens filters, battery charger, portable backup drive, Pentax 8x43 binoculars, small tripod with ballhead.
Other compartments contain my laptop, misc photo gear case, toilet kit, carry-on liquid bag, umbrella, rain shell, miscellaneous cables, batteries & adapter case, "travel office" bag with money, pens, paper, passport, e-tickets, hotel confirmations, etc.
Some things that I might wish to have in my carry-on were sacrificed to checked luggage - basically hiking poles, hiking boots.

I love your packing pics! You are the master packer.
