Canon Limited Edition "5 MILLION DOLLAR HOME " Crumpler BaG

[rendition]

Not my cuppa but I just realized something, not only is this version cheaper than Crumpler's, it comes with shoulder strap which by right is only avail for 6, 7 and 8 million.

U mean shoulder pad instead?

 

[rendition]

Ya pad...

 

[2evans]

But I don't find the crumpler's pad that cushioning, as I do need to alter shoulders when carrying the 7 mill, with gear.

 

[rendition]

They actually changed it. The previous design had more padding but new one has anti-slip material... why on earth can't they just combine both.

Saw it last Sun at Vivo. Not worth the money. Padding is lousy. Price is too steep for such a bag. :thumbsd:

 

[rendition]

I think it's more of the brand and looks... open for argument of course. I will never go for the Canon's version of crumpler for sure, just way too striking for my taste but to date, I've owned the Crumpler 5 mil, 7 mil and... whenever I do events coverage, it never fail to bring attention to the other press photogs. Think they sick and tired of their Domkes lol which I think am getting.

Anyways... I guess it's just like how LV has an iPhone cover going for $380 and people do buy it and no, it offers no protection to your iPhone.

Gaffering is more of a protection to the camera/equipment, not to hide from others the brand or what. Gaffering WILL NOT lower the risk of theft cos from the exterior they'll still know it's a camera. Unless they've never seen 1 before. :bsmilie:

Wah! Looks like a beggar's camera. :bsmilie::bigeyes:

It's almost like a new camo pattern. Maybe gaffer tape makers can just produce ready-made "beggar camo" to put off potential theives... :bsmilie:

But the lens surrounding should look the same leh, like that pple will know it's gaffered.

Bought this bag today...can put the 5D + BG + 24-105...not too bad.

But that's the max it'll go after some squeezing in, no room for flash.

Can easily fit in 5D + 24-70 L w/hood (reversed) + 580ex into the 5MDH. There's still space for blower, lens pen, spare batts (for camera and flash), stofen diffuser, memory cards & body cap.

The max I've put in the 5MDH is all of the above plus:
i) 35mm L or
ii) Zenitar fisheye & 50mm

With the 35mm L, it's a real tight fit.

The 5MDH a nice bag for a 1 or 2 small/medium lens set-up, but it's something for all occasions.

Your lens mounted or dismounted?

 

[danielteng]

what is the capacity for this bag?
possible to fit in 30D + grip and 17-55?

Entirely possible. See below

Would concur with Frijj there.

Brought my gear down today just to make sure b4 i got the bag. The salesguy at the canon showroom was nice enough to open the display cabinet yesterday and take out a 1d+some giant L-prime (forgot to check which one it was) to check the fit. Didn't fare too well there with parts of the cam body peeking out from the sides.

Had the sneaking suspicion my own setup might be able to fit better so I made another trip down today. Managed to fit a gripped 40D, 17-35L 2.8 with EW83D hood on (not reversed), 580EXII with omnibounce on, and my 28-105 with some room to spare. (Will post some pictures over the weekend if i can) No parts of the body was exposed (the side 'flaps' managed to fold over properly) but cannot velcro completely. Was ok with that cos I prefered the outlook of the bag with the 'velcro silencers' on. The two-tone red does it for me...

 

[ryansinho]

good idea!!!maybe adidas could come out a camera bag!!

 

[badtzdiana]

Just bought a 6MDH cos it looks bigger than e 5MDH tat i prefered. Tat day went to crumpler again, n realised e interior not much bigger than e 5MDH lei, exterior looks big, but e side pockets takes up space n not useful to me, dono wat i canput there except for a lenspen.
Is e older model (single clip) design one more spacious??

 

[ed9119]

This bag..... I've a nephew who has one ..... I think he's going to put it up for sale soon...

He says "First look Shiok...........after a month, look at it also Sian liao , like Ah Girl's bag"

Me says "You're stupid to pay money to advertise for Canon"

He just bought the 7MDH last night ..... said that it can handle his body/lens, extra prime lens, a small laptop or netbook, PSP , iPhone and a magazine or 2

Young people these days......

Crumpler bags are pretty lasting tho, used the complete seed for the last 2 years , still going strong, yeah i know despite it not being a camera bag, it has managed to contain my whole setup, cam, 2 lenses, tripod flahs and space to put other things.

I thought 6 million is much more spacious than the 5 million. I have a 5 million, a really decent camera bag bit it's kinda tight when you wanna bring out more equipments.

Can you change the interior configurations of your 6 million to suit your requirements?
