I should have paid more attention to Moose's specific recommendations
for the PhotoRunner. I bought the PhotoRunner 100 and have not fallen
in love with it. The side pockets are truly small. I may start
watching ebay to get the original. I've since bought a LowePro sling
bag (Lowepro Slingshot 102 AW). It holds more stuff and it's easy to
get to the camera with grip/lens/hood/flash installed but I don't have
any real carry/shooting experience with it yet.
Here's an Amazon link
<http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003656Q7C/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_tr_M3T1_ST1_dp_1>
but the price I paid a few months ago was more than $10 less than the
$58.75 shown here. Wait until after the holidays I guess. :-)
