Walt, I have a Tamrac Velocity 5, which was recommended by several list members. It only has room for one body if you're going to be carry extra lenses. If you're carrying a second body you would have to remove the body in the bag to get to your lenses. The plus side is that in addition to the shoulder straps it also has a built in waist band. Plus, the flap can be opened toward you or to the side, which is quite nice. But based on carrying two bodies I don't think I would recommend it.
I'd like to offer another recommendation for the Domke F2. Mine's an old beater, but it's holding together nicely. There is room for two bodies with small lenses attached plus four center compartments for more lenses and a flash. It has two front compartments, two end compartments, a rear compartment, and some space inside the top flap. You can access all of your gear from the top without having to remove anything. I have noticed two drawbacks. If your bodies have long lenses or zooms attached it can be hard to remove them. A possible solution would be to move the center dividers to one end and only carry one body in the bag. The bag is not rigid, so it will take on a banana shape when carried with the shoulder strap. It's much easier to get to your gear if you can support the bag from beneath. Kneeling down and putting the bag on your knee will do the trick. Get the backpack staps for those long walks.
