Looking for something like this without the junk they are throwing into this package only deal. I saw this in person at Best Buy and it was pretty good quality with nice heavy duty chrome buckles.

That's the exact same bag I have, and it's been perfect for me so far. Inside it's got good space for the camera itself w/ lens attatched plus three other lenses. A lot of good space up int he front and side pockets as well. Also, those silver/chrome looking snapping clips up front are real metal. Very sturdy bag :)

You can buy it without the package deal -- just the bag itself.

I'm a big Tamrac bag fan and with their stuff these days they have all kinds of expansion 'mods' you can buy later. :D These add-ons are for an extra lens, a water bottle, etc.

I have an Explorer 2 I think, and it holds the 20D with 17-85 attached face down, my 50 goes in there, and I have the water bottle attachment on the side. I like this bag because it's not too big.

My girlfriend has that exact same bag for her Digital Rebel and likes it OK.

I have a Lowepro EX120 for my Canon G5 and think its built much sturdier and has better materials. It's a lot smaller than the Canon bag, but probably big enough for camera + 1 lens and some accessories. I haul the G5, Canon external mount flash, Lens attachment and UV filter, three batteries, several memory cards, cleaning stuff. Not too big, not too small.

Mine is grey with black, not the green shown.
