Crumpler Cork and Fork Photo Roller Reviewed at JohnBiehler.com

An excellent review by John Biehler at his eponymous blog, the feller takes a mean picture too.
Rather relevant as he uses the case for it's intended purpose: transporting a bunch of gear via commuter jet.
There's a pic, too, of the bags ON the luggage measuring device, nearly there!
By way of an excuse - I'd like to point out that the bag was designed to those dimensions cumulatively (H + W +D = target dimension) not verbatim. That is, the dimensions differ slightly, but overall the volume is within limits.
At any rate, the John and the crew had no problemo with the bag as a roll-on - probaly they were too busy drooling over it's obvious style, class and customised features ;-) Nice, REAL nice!

Additionally John has written a bunch on Crumpler, not all of which I have previously linked, but you can get it all (scroll down the page) HERE!

Doing the research: 4 or 5 Million Dollar Home for a wee Canon kit?

One of the main things I love about social networking websites and the whole web 2.0 thing is the democritisation of knowlege, and as we know knowlege is power, power in this case or ahhh bag to make the right choice and avoid the disappointment and hassle of needing to return and exchange a perfectly good item that was too big or small.

Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you to research your baggy purchases, online, trying flickr groups, or the forums and communities on the many excellent photo dedicated sites such as DPReview, Fred Miranda, Photo.net, SmugMug, the list goes on including of course the dedicated bag-camera equipment site CamBags.com in order to get the maximum satifaction from what is the most important interface between you and your prized camera equipment.

As for this post, a discusion on whether smaller is better or bigger is beautiful, it's a great example of the community spirit you'll find on flickr - opinions expressed, n00bs tolerated, positions considered - I LOVE it!

Crumpler Customer Q&A: Camera Bag for Panasonic DMC FZ 18

Q:

Could you please advise me of the bag you would recommend for a Panasonic DMC FZ 18 digital camera with spare battery etc

Thanks, Mate

A:

Maaate!

The Bundle L or 1 Million Dollar Home should do the trick!

the main differences (see tech specs) are colourways, strap width, internal divider supplied or not and belt attachment provision on the rear of bag (I'll let u work all that out! :-)

Here's a pic with a Canon S2IS stashed.

Here's an Amazon Crumpler review on the 1 Million Dollar Home.

From memory, these Pana digicams have a huge reversible hood, if you want to stash the cam with that in the shooting position, you might go up a size to the 2 Million Dollar Home, then you'll also be ready to upgrade to an entry level D-SLR w/ standard lens.
Let me know how you fare... BBB)))

Crumpler Part and Parcel review on Systematic Viewpoints

It seems one good review leads to another!

So, you wanna buy a Crumpler camera bag or backpack?

If you are considering purchasing a Crumpler photo bag or backpack and require a little more info than already available in the "Check Tech Specs" section on the product pages on the Crumpler website and, secondly, if a local retailer is unavailable, then a third option could be to search for crumpler photo bag reviews at CamBags.com ...

CamBags has been going a few years now and thus they have a huge selection of independent, user submitted reviews available to assist your decision making process and a wealth of photos to illustrate the facts!

It's not exhastive, foolproof or perfect, but if you have an idea of the model of bag that has piqued your interest and add this name after the "Crumpler" in the search box, Google and Cambags will take care of the rest! eg: "Crumpler 5 Million"

This process will also work to some extent if you add a simplified version of you camera's name to the"Crumpler" search term. eg: "Crumpler 1D"

The CamBags site is also searchable specifically by camera model or by bag type.

I'll be using this blog to build a toolbox of resources to assist the Crumpler camera bag purchase process, so look out for more "toolbox" tips!
