When we got the new camera and I saw the bag that came with it I knew I needed to buy a new one. It was so huge and boxy that I will not carry the camera if it’s in that bag. So off the net I go looking for camera bags that are nice enough to carry anywhere but at the same time will keep the camera safe. And I found two, yes two and I got them both.

For the hubby I got him the Crumpler 5Million Dollar Home bag. It is a bit smaller than what I thought it would be but really nice. I like the padding inside, and it looks really sturdy. We got exactly what is pictured above. The hubby however thinks this is not the bag for him (well he doesn’t have a choice now does he?).

Now for me I got a girly bag of course. I read about the Crumpler at the forums I visit and I’ve read a lot of rave comments on the Tracy Joy bag too. So I emailed Tracy Joy about shipping rates and insurance options as well for the bag and she was really nice. I even got the discounted price eventhough it was a day after she had her sale. I went a little crazy here and bought a bunch of accessories too.

I got the Kristine TJ Bag in brown with the Carnival Bloom fabric flap. I also opted for extra padding. Then I ordered an extra Maddie flap in Patti Paisley Green (you can change the flap of the Kristine bag for a new look). I also got matching Lisa shoulder straps for the bag. My husband said that the designs I chose were all floral patterns, he takes it as a hint to call the flower delivery services again you know to give me flowers.

(the two fabrics I got, I love these colors and prints)

Lastly I a matching Carnival Bloom camera neckstrap from my favorite online store at the moment, Etsy (lol). I plan to order a Patti Paisley Kiwi neckstrap too but not right now, I think I did enough shopping for the camera.
