I just bought a Lowepro Photo Sport 200 and that would seem to fit your requirements exactly.
I bought mine for an upcoming trip and the camera compartment fits my EM1 with 12-40 attached and either the 40-150 pro or 100-400 beside it (this maxes out its depth/width), the camera is accessible from the slide like a sling pack. In the hydration pouch I can put my Macbook (or a hydration pack), in the main compartment I can put fleeces/lunch/lenses/stuff and in the 'helmet' pouch on the outside I can stuff a coat for easy access. A tripod can be put in the side pocket and strapped in, a first aid kit could be put in the top pocket.
If you want to be able to fit a bit more stuff in it or a camera with long lens attached maybe the Photo Sport 300 would be better but my requirements were as small as possible to fit all my kit for transporting in hand baggage and then use as a day pack when I get there (I will put an EM5ii body and the 100-400 lens, both wrapped, in the main compartment and there is still room for a fleece and bits and bobs).
I got mine from Jessops for £85 with a code (from camerapricebuster) which was cheap enough to stop me looking at mindshiftgear backpacks.
Thanks Ned - I've been looking at that one. Was it the mk I or mk II version you got? My only concern was the ease of access for anything other than cameras and lenses from the side access padded section.
