5.0 out of 5 stars
so far so good..., April 5, 2009
This is my medium sized bag. I have a Tamrac velocity 7 that i use to carry my d90 and an extra lens and a flash. I also have a backpack that fits all my gear. This one comfortably carries my d90 with my 17-55 f/2.8, my sb600, sigma 30 f/1.4, sigma 10-20 and nikon 85mm. If i carried one less lens, i could put my battery grip in the case. If i removed two lenses, i could easily put the grip on the camera and and store it in the bag.
This new version has a nice feature which allows you to cover the velcro closures and rely on the two plastic pinch locks.
as far as weight goes, packed completely, it is not to heavy, as i would imagine the 7MDH would be. It's not too wide,although, make no mistake, this does not really look like a messenger bag. It looks like a portable soft cooler. My wife thought it was a lunch container/cooler.
I like it though, i think it's less conspicous than other camera bags, although not stealthy as others emphasize.
Construction seems very nice, the bag seems pretty sturdy and supported throughout.
UPDATE 4/4/2011
So i've had this bag for almost 2 years. Still looks great. There was a few months here where i swtiched to a messenger bag and/or just carried my camera in a diaper bag...but then i tried this as a diaper bag...Has some padding which is sort of like insulation and dividers...so i would carry a diaper, wipes, bottle and food and still have room for my camera with a small lens (nikon 50 1.8 or sigma 30-lens down). I truly appreciate the how i can hang a lens carrier on the outside, which functions as a lens carrier or baby food carrier.
In addition...Now that i have a d7k and nikon f100, i can actually carry both bodies with a 24 1.4 on one and a 135 dc on the other. perfect.

Great camera bag, September 1, 2009
This is a well designed bag. It's stylish and doesn't look like a camera bag on the outside. I'm a 5'7" woman of average build and it doesn't look/feel huge on me like some of the larger camera bags do. It's feels very light and I could carry it all day. My Nikon D90 with multi-power battery pack fits nicely. It fits better without the battery pack, but the fit is still acceptable with it on. I only own 2 lenses right now, but it looks like it could fit 3-4 in total (in addition to the one attached to the camera). It's easy to configure the dividers on the inside to suit your needs. They have velcro on them and they'll stick anywhere you want them to. There's handy pockets on the sides, in front, a mesh pocket on the inside of the flap, and loops on the sides to clip things to (things you could clip to a belt). The velcro silencers are nice, but I would only use them when it's actually necessary, because you shouldn't grab the bag by the handle unless the bag is closed, and it's just more convenient to have the velcro automatically close it rather than dealing with the buckles.

good photo bag, September 11, 2009
Generally it is a very nice photo bag, which is built up with fashion design and nice materials. But it is a little bit small, 6 million is high enough to put in a XSi (450D) with a 70-200 f4L. If you want to put in one body + 3 lenses, it could be too crowded. My suggestion is to get the 7 million, it is not big at all. However, it's a little expensive.
