It appears the the Photo Runner 100 has interior/exterior dimensions the
same as the Chinese one you just bought but, alas, the exterior pockets
are anything but capacious. I can get an Oly charger and spare battery
in one and a remote trigger control plus other odds and ends in the
other. But that's about it. I've yet to actually try to use it in the
field.
