I was just talking to Tanya today about the fact that I carry my Flip camera, my digital camera, my iPod, it's kind of ridiculous. I should just buy an iPhone, period. I do like to protect my stuff.

Lens and Shutter has a big selection as well although they are full retail price so bring a lot of cash unfortunately. At least you can 'preview' them at L&S to ensure they fit your gear before you get one on ebay for half price. I've only ever bought them new on ebay but I've seen lots of people selling barely used ones only because they've upgraded their gear and need more storage. Unfortunately for a buyer, they seem to hold their value quite well on the used market...at least it seems to be the case.

Or somewhere in particular? Need to outfit my Rebel XT I picked up on Boxing Day from Future Shop and although I've been partial to LowerPro, wouldn't mind looking into Crumpler.

Four days (well, two pretty intense ones and the keynote the day before that) of Mac madness...also probably blogging for Techvibes from there, so if you know of any Canadian companies peddling their Mac wares, lemme know.

It's a little more than many other packs in this class but it's awesome so worth it to me. It should fit your gear nicely! This is the smallest of the backpacks like this...they have bigger ones but of course, they cost more ;) I guess it depends on the size of your camcorder and any other gear you want to lug. This is basically my new carry-on bag for air travel...keeps all the precious things in one place. Are you going to MacWorld?

How much? It'd be nice if I could score that pre-Macworld. Oh sweet Jebus, that looks ideal for my camcorderin’, video podcastin’ needs. How much? It’d be nice if I could score that pre-Macworld.
